' - 7''-V"r".- The Chicago convention abandoned the peace pact. It turned its back on the League of Nations covenant It deserted our , late allies ana left1 them without the leadership of the great nation that saved them from defeat. It declared for a" policy; of provincial ism, and isolation in' spite. of thejhls- torical fact that, the. late war showed us that we, are not isolated,' that . we are subjeftt to being dragged into any future , war in Europe and thai the true course for America , for her.own protection is to assist in providing for the stabilization and future peace, of :.Kurope. - i - ,:.;.;-,..' .The San Francisco convention! can have no other" honorable course than to stand by the Versailles treaty, to upho.o. the League of Nations jwith . suitable interpretations and to. insist IV. . 1 IV. I - . .' M V, A 1 V It uim nils wax, luugui, iu cuu var, sudii -not ".have been fought In vain, f The one thing that stood out above ail other tlngs in the late .conflict.' was the belief In 'America that , this war was to make future wars of the! kind Impossible. . ; As early as December. 1916, months before we entered the war, the Anieri- - can . government communicated with the other nations, Germany included, on the subject of an agreement as a part of the treaty of peace that would create a situation In which no "such catastrophe as that then in .the World could again fall upon mankind: The reply of all the nations except Ger many was favorable. At that itime, Germany expected io win the waf and through her victory to gain autocratic domination of .the world. The replies were communicated to congress! and a year .later President Wilson, again addressing congress, declared bis four teen points, providing for arLeague of Nations. The whole plan of a league to erfi force peace was thus an intimate and stirring part of. the war program. , -Novo! ce was ..raised .against it while the war was on. " Many, a mother was en couraged to part with her son in the hope that this war,through a League of Nations, was to end -all war. Many a citizen was stimulated to a stronger endeavor in war work in the belief -1 th at this was a war to win the peace or tne ,wpridv - y-: f The war ,was won. The armistice was signed with -the. fourteen points as the groundwork for the terms of - the final peace. And the covenant of the League 'of .Nations, isi in the main, " the fourteen points phrased i into;' a , WTitten agreement and signed by all - the great parties to the conflict,, and signea Dy nearly a score. of the gov ernments that were neutral im the war. ';iCv" v f' ' : ' 4 V; - But . the, American eenate has not signed. " One year after, the treaty of Versailleswas signed by Gerinany and Austria,. the vanquished, - and fee- France, Great Britain, Italy and Amer- ' ica and the other' allied belligerents, it has been repudiated by, the United '?tates snn!t ;vnd. a great national convention at Chicago has indorsed that action. - -..--.?- . , Meanwhile them is a League of Na tions, but it has no "binding force other than military power. Of all the lands formerly held by the Ger man empire and parceled out by mandates -under;, the League of .' Na tions, not one mandate has yet become legal or official. ' AH the territories, if held, at all, are held by military force. Even vast areas lormerly within the Turkish empire and par celed out among the allies, . are -not even firmly held by military force. for' as late as May 9" the ; Turks de feated, the French army In t Armenia, drove; it In a near rout before them, and proceeded 'o butcher a c whole city of - Christian ! Armenlans"-;- Japan still holds the former Ger man islands, in the Pacific ocean nortl? of the equator, and Australia and New Zealand still retain'; the" German islands south of it. v The power by which these islands -are held is not the League of Nations, but military force.' The same Is rue of JMesopo- tamia, " SyrJaJ German East Africa, Palestine and other areas. '- '. , " And above and beyond it all, one year, after the Versailles treaty was signed, America is still technically at war" with Germany, ; and . a separate peace must be negotiated and signed unless the American people Interdict that course. Such a plan is proposed in the Chicago platform. It will mean that 'one ear Vafter the peace was signed and more than 19 months after' the Germans laid, down their arms, the peace that American arms fought for. and won, is not. It means that the senate or the United .States aban doned the slogan that the "war was fought to end war," and has "substi tuted for it the senate's own plan of going back tor the old order .out of which 10.000,000 men were slain.' as many more starved, and unnamed millions put on .crutches. ; When the armistice was, signed every .ciiy ana namiei in . America rang bells and joined ia gladness and rejoicing. The 'orators told of the new day of peace Uiat' had -dawned. But more than nineteen months later. on the ' annlversaryi of the-? day the treaty of ( peace wag 'signed the one hope that our pledge, of. aj"war to end war will be carried-outr rests In' tlrl convention at San Franciseo.; .

On the other hand, if the commis sion will discard Its delays-Its ex cuses and its discussion of a "sur vey for industries that vitally need deep water shipping facilities now, it will furnish evidence that larger port works may be safely, entrusted to it. Three years ago the . port commis sion was given a law authorizing the inclusion of the North Portland har bor In the port district. ,f V r It officially agreed then to furnish a' 25-foot .channel tn North Pnrtlarwi industries whose transactions now aggregate $125,000,000 annually.- 14 promised 'the Chamber of Com merce the first of this year to take the steps which it had before failed to take in following up its own plan.

O. P. PLATFORM INTERPRETERS t By Carl Smith. Washington Staff Cor respondent of The .Journal. Washington. vJune 28. A Republican. debate , on the meaning of tne party plaUonfi dealing .with the Jague : or Nations is in full swing, and he work of the Chicago convention is coming to its logical results. When the - treaty pianx was nrst adopted it ws highly eulogised by. Sen ator f Johnson. Senator Boran ana otner bitter enders, who hailed it aa a victory for therm It was the work or Kllhu Root, : and was accepted . by.. Lodge. Smoot and former Senator ,W.; Mnrray Crane without much quibble as soon as they saw that Johnson and Borah were pacified. They let Johnson and Borah do the talking, for the time being. Their time for interpretation and explanation would come later, after Johnson was securely laid on the shelf. k .-- .r ' " T '.j; .-r. It will help to an understanding of the situation to , remember that Crane wanted the league srtecifically indorsed, with the Lodge reservations. Lodge and Smoot and Watson were especially con cerned in preventing the use of language toat would,, reflect upon, their work in the senate; and likewise - interested in satisfying-Johnson to the extent of keep ing him in the party. Root's- treaty plank . condemned the .- treaty . as sub mitted ; by the president, said nothing about reservations, and after wandering through - a cascade of words winds " up strong for approval of the conduct of the senators, . The senators who sup ported" the reservations . were delighted to take it In that form as soon as Uiey discoverea- that . Johnson and BofaB were ready to take it, But they never had any" thought of allowing Johnson and'Boran to act-as the sole interpreters of the platform after its adoption. "i "The plahk does, not repudiate the League of Nations." says . Senator Smoot, safely returned; to .Washington, nor aoea it pledge the party to any specific action for the future. .There is nothing to militate against the eenate taking up the treaty question under a Republican president.. : If the senate should undertake to consider the treaty again, there is nothing to interfere' with the adoption , of the so-called Lodge reservations or any other reservations.' This is a long way from Borah's an nouncement that the platform means "no league." Smoot and Borah both were members of the sub-committee which eagerly accepted Dr. Root's remedy. So was Crane, who wanted the league di rectly indorsed, and Ogden L. Mills, who held the same view, .and others, of like opinion. , . '-. ";..' .' '' i - a a ;..?. As soon as Johnson and Borah sign! fied acceptance of the platform the con vention (Went about the work of select ing the'-candidate, with no thought of selecting ; Johnson or of accepting his interpretation of the platform. Johnson and Borah appeared honestly to believe that the league had been repudiated, and it may, be that their later sfillen silence is largely due to the reflecton that they were tricked. J The resiliency of the league plank in Jthe platform may now appear to them. alter reading Smoot 8. interview and re membering that the nominee is one of the members of the senate foreign re lations committee who followed Lodge all through the treaty fight and sup ported the treaty with the Lodge reser vations, t - Johnson's peace of mind may also be distracted by the letter of Herbert Hoover in supportf Harding in which Hoover ; says that "nothing ' prevents the compromise planks . on labor, the league, etc. being given -at forward looking interpretation." . ; , ; ... - Johnson and Bnrah mar 1m ha Insilr. iner forward to mil what Sonain, n.M ing says in his speech of acceptance be fore they once more exptode. No Spe cial gift of prophecy is required to fore cast what Hardine- wrin uv t-Ta wilt ho Just, about as specific and just about as vague as the platform itself. He will reel sale in denouncing the covenant as the president framed it, in asserting that the American people must protect their sovereignty,; in assailing the president for trvinz -tb forc hl nwn wrlll nrt th. senate." in the "time-honored policy" of wasmngton ana xaonroe, and in com mending its ground for the "protection Of. -American institntinnn" t mm nommauon. t ' This , is 'about as far as Harding is likely to go, along with a general ex pression in favor of international agree ment to prevent, war, The Republican candidate is jiot a path-breaker, and he is not going to repudiate -the senatorial group, which made him the candidate, or ujmoeii, aa a - rnemoer ox that group. An Embarrassing: Platform From the Astoria Budget Practically nobody has a good word to say for the Republican platform, says the New. York 'Workfc'-in commenting ed itorially ' upon the Republican conven tion.'. Many. of . the leading Republican newspapers treat it- with open and studied contempt.' There have been times when a platform meant more than a candidate. That was' the case in 1896 when, the Republican, platform declara tion in favor of .the maintenance of the gold ? standard overcame McKinley's wabbling -currency record. It is not: the case .this year; Senator Harding cannot restrict mmseir. xo the platform, for the platform will not hold even as. light a candidate as ne. The country is In. a mood to-demand information.. It will insist on- knowing exactly . where Senator Harding stands in regaxa io we treaty or peace whether he is for the treaty., with the Lcge reservations for which- he voted, whether -lie is for the ; Knox separate peace wth Germany for which he voted. whether he is with the Battalion of Death who dictated tha treaty plank in the. Republican platform. . The questions will not atop with the treaty. The senator cannot-indefinitely dodge the prohibition issue.' He cannot indefinitely dodge the labor issue. He cannot indefinitely dodge the taxation issue. He cannot indefinitely, dodge the Mexican issue..: He cannot dodge : any issue, unless the Democrats at San Francisco make such monumental fools of themselves that the campaign is lost to 'them before it .is begun. : Senator liar ding" a father has de- scribed the candidate as "too accommo dating." The 014 Guard knows that he is accommodating. The privueged in terests - which y - fatten off government have, every assurance that, he is a commodating. Bat the - voters too will insist on . knowing how. accommodating he is, and their standards of accommo dation are not the standards of the Old Guard and Big Business. - Letters : From the People f Comoraaieations aent - to The Journal -for publication in thia department thonld be vrittaa on only ona tide of tha papa, abouhl not zoned 300 word in lenetli and most be aimed by th writer, whoaa ail addraaa ia full auaat aocoaa paay the contribution. . THE PEOPLE AND THE PRESIDENT Portland, June 15. To the Editor of The Journal The Republican nomina tion Interested me very much. ; . Not only did the gigantic demonstration, but the fact that the leaders finally decided to nominate Senator- Warren G. Harding. It seems peculiar ' to me that when a state sends its ' delegates . to this con vention and instructs . them . to vote for a certain ciandidate. they never do. It appears that 'the delegate can vote for whomever he pleases.- . This poor system can only lead to at contemptible graft system, which should be wiped out en tirely, for the good of the country. I believe the delegates have absolutely too much power.v I cannot understand' why in . all the cases they, never vote as their states wanted them to. I am not -trying to knock the -Re publican party, ' nor am I trying o knock any other party, but I believe a better system should prevail in all parties. ; My highest ambition is some day to see the people of the United States vote for the office of president, direct, and that the old system of electors be forever abolished. : V MORRIS PEKKEL. : ' A PROTEST FOR SCHTJTXEMAN Portland. June 22. To the Editor of The Journal The Democratic state cen tral committee at its meeting June 19 failed to elect the next highest living delegate, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Baldwin, delegate at large-elect, -o the Democratic national convention. The .committee did not 101 low the rules of . pure democracy,, but cast aside all the rules of justice, fair play, and even common decency in its treatment of John L Schuyleman. who received the highest vote next to Judge Baldwin and was a contender for the nlace. i '- ' . Different reasons were advancea wny Schuyleman should not have the place. among them the fact that he - was at one time a Socialist, arterwara register ing as a Democrat but falling to vote the Democratic ticket on account or being absent from his place of last reg istration, ort business. The facts as to Mr. Schuyleman's . being a Socialist should: have been' determined at the meeting by a committee, and this com mittee should have, been composed of neutral Democrats, neither antl nor pro Wilson or Chamberlain, but real, free- minded Democrats. -' If Mr. Schuyleman was not - proved a Socialist he should have had ' the place without any ques tion. But if a Socialist, and thus dis qualified, the neat highest man. Fred v, Holm an, should have - haa tne piaae. Geographical situations should not have been considered in .this case. A dele- rate at large represents the whole state. From ' ail Indications the committees and the whole show was Juggled to the satisfaction of some few .dead political "heroes" who were voted out by 'the neople and are trying to resurrect their lost prestige by - throwing" their influence to some "remote part, of -the state., on a claim of geographical situations.

The cheesemaklng process, as Sales Manager Simpson of the Oregon Dairymen's Cooperative league will tell the inquirer, is fascinating. Ths milk is allowed to. "ripen." Rennet is added. The curd then formed is cut into cubes. - The whey is expelled by cooking-at 98 to 105 degrees, and by pressure. The cubes are ground and allowed to form into slabs, then "cheddared," which means piling up the slabs and turning them over and over, getting rid of excess moisture and whey. Pressure Is also applied in presses that give the cheese form. New cheese is a good deal like rub ber insoluble. When it ripens and dries outnlde it is dipped In parafflne, then allowed jto ripen for varying periods, the shortest of which is a month. .::'.
