.j t THE" OREGON OAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, OREGON SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1920. PUT U. S. BOATS ON FAIR BASIS. IS JONES' PLEA The United States, through the shipping - board, -is entering; an un chartered sea. The board is experimenting- with: merchant j marine, the Jones bill has been passed, ships - have ' been allocated, and measures put into effect, that may or may not r be permanent.! After complete study of the shipping; situation a perma nent shipping; program, a program to put the United States on an equal basis with other nations on the seas, will be adopted, i u : v That-) the picture described by It. A. Dean, trustee of -the Fleet corporation, general counsel for the shipping board, author of the Jones blU,. possible mem- i ber of the shipping; board, and Portland -" ' -visitor.' r : h . n, c, ' 4 i;! STAGE EXPEBIMETAL ! : '" He says shipplngi is a new field, for this epuntry. that experiments along the lines of operation of our national com petitors are now being tried in the United States, and that the present ship ping' laws and conditions may mot con tinue in existence after the trials ; are completed. i v i r il- -; ' - One of the big fights for shipping su premacy will be on the Pacific Dean believes. The Orient is unexplored. It has vast resources, and is a field that 'America must reach across the Pacific for. As a result, more ships win be allocated to this coast, he says. as they ' are completed, j and a 1 re-allocation is very probable i after reports of work under the present allocation are made. Like the entire shipping; situation. ; the allocations previously mads are in the nature of. experiments, and if It is shown that this coast can derive greater bene fits from use of the ships- than can the Atlantic the tonnage will be sent to this side of the continent. I i PRIEJf D OF COAST I . Dean is a friend of the Pacific coast. He advocates opening the "neck of the bottle." He expresses his belief' that all the ports of the country should be en couraged, that they: should be provided with tonnage. - and that commerce, as suggested by Senator McNary, should flow through ports that afford the great- est economic opportunity. He j opposes round about transportation of cargoes when they can be , more economically sent through a nearer port. ! : - Section 23 of the Jones bill is an ex periment. Qean' declares.' and may be suspended at any time, j He pointed out that America must, to meet foreign competition.-. place i American- ships on , at least an equal basis. That was the,ln- i tent of section 28, providing fori cargoes I to be carried In American .bottoms. If I American vessels cannot be supplied in i sufficient quantity to meet the trade, the i lew is suspended and a congestion of i traffic averted. , TO MEXT COMPETITION ' - Likewise, the rebate T provision was incorporated in the' Jones bill to meet -foreign advantages Dean explains..' In foreign ports, foreign ship lines were permitted the i rebate privilege, n. elim- lnatlng American bottoms from the carrying trade of those ports. As a counter weapon against that policy, the Jones bill provides that the vessels of foreign companies offering rebates may be prohibited from entering our n ports. The problem i of the shipping board, Pean maintains, Is to successfully meet competition . of other countries. Until our merchant marine Is placed on an equal basis, such a plan is out of the question. ,, The 1 Jones bill, he claims, does ibore to place ships of the United States on an even basis than anything ever before attempted by this jeoun try. Dean believes the new, shipping board Will be appointed this fall. He favors retention of an eastern member of the board on this coast permanently, to Im- partially Judge of conditions and needs in this territory. The western members. ber thinks, should operate: largely In the reaat. ji ; ,.ii ! 111!:1. -. 4 t He' will recommend on his return to Washington.. Dean said, that the eastern member of the board detailed to this territory be given power to decide local : .questions and act thereon without re ferring; them to Washington. This is a part of a plan of decentralization of authority advocated by i Dean. : . Eastern Interests, : under present con- . , dltlons, have the advantage over west ern shippers In that they can get to . Washington forrpersonal protests in case their Interests 1 are 1 in Jeopardy. U Dean pointed out, whereas coast Interests must rely on telegrams. Under such condi tions, the coast Is considerably handl caped. Through decentrallaatlon of authority, this; disadvantage would be ' overcome. ' - 1 .:. 4. 1 !: Airplane Damaged in Landing Sent South . . Eugene. Aug. 28.

HARDING SAYS SCRAP i LEAGUE AS IMPOTENT fCaftttaMd From Pus On.) 1 under the chairmanship of an American representative. In that body we have the framework of a realty effective in strumentality of enduring peace. -; - "What once seemed at The Hague to be. a mere academic discussion has be come : a positive outstanding need for facing terrifying- actualities. This makes vastly easier-the task, of so strengthen ing The Hague tribunal as'to render its decrees either acceptable or enforceable. "LET'S ADD TEETH" : I "It is not uncommon for the advocates of the league of Versailles to contrast u of avorably The Hague tribunal upon the ground that it lacks teeth. "Very well, then, lefs put teeth Into It. "If in the1 Versailles league there can be found, machinery' which could be ap propriated.fby all means let it be appro priated,' h went on. ,.i:: - "I would take and combine all that is good and excise all that Is bad from both organizations." This statement, Harding said. Is broad enough to include the suggestion that If the , league is so Interwoven with the peace of Europe that its good must be preserved to stabilise I the peace of that continent, then it can be amended or re vised so that we may still have a rem nant of world aspirations in 1318 butlded Into the world's highest i conception of helpful cooperation in the ultimate re alisation.: . GOOD IS 'BE Elf J " 1 T believe humanity, he said, "would welcome the creation of an international association for conference and a world court whose verdicts upon . Justifiable questions this country, 1m common with all nations, would be both willing and able to uphold. The decision of such a court, or the recommendation of such' a conference - could, be j accepted without sacrificing- on our part . or '. asking any other power to sacrifice one iota of its nationality." , -. . - : - Should he be elected president, Harding intends, he says, calling into conference the ablest minds of theScountry without regard to profession or party, to formu late a "definite, practical plan along the lines already Indicated for the consider ation of the controlling foreign powers." ' The suggestion that America under take the work of redrafting an inter national code was recently made in a statement by Viscount Grey, former British ambassador to the United States, Harding said.

Integrity of Poland. Harding saldJ . ; The council of the League of Nations would have reasoned, and reasoned cor rectly, , that the United States could furnish munitions and, if ' necessary, the men to withstand the hordes advancing from Russia far jraore easily than could the exhausted nations of Europe, he argued. There would have been a moral obligation on. congress, be said, to back up this article of the league. ; "No congress : would ever dare make this nation ' appear as a welcher." "It was reluctantly and with grave misgivings' that Harding votedfor the league with the Lodge reservations, he said.. ; v ,'.--, ...-.v- LEAGUE : IMP6TEKT "But conditions have ; changed." he continued. "We know now that the league constituted at Versailles is ut terly Impotent as a preventive of war. It Is so obviously impotent that it has not even been tried." It could not sur vive a single test The origins! league. mistakenly conceived,! and unreasonably insisted upon, : nas undoubtedly passed beyond the possibility of restoration. The natural Judgment, of the world will be that It deserved to pass tor the very simple reason that.; contrary to all of the. tendencies developed, by the civilising processes of 4 the world, it rested upon the power of might, : not of right. The assertion Is frequently made, he added, sarcastically, that America could have saved the covenant, although 28 nations already belonging could not make it function. "What can they signify If not that it is to the United States alone that the other 28 nations look' for the bone and sinew, the money, the munitions, and the-men to sustain the entire organisa tion, not as an agency of peace,' but as an armed force?" be asked.
