ROBERTS-BUSINESS OPTIMISM GAINS ON TRIP ABROAD : A long sason of commercial pros perity and socla well being 1b dawn ing in the United States and Europe, according to 'Thorn a Roberts, head of the firm of Roberts IJrothers. who returned Wednesday, moYnlng from a five months' visit to the British Isles. He was accompanied by Mrs. Roberts and they spent several weeks at the old Roberts home In the North of Wales and visited the larpr cities of England and Scotland. "Farmers, miners, laborers and all classes of people In England are better clothed and better fed than at any previ ous time In the history of the country." said Roberts. "The large estates of the old land holding class are being sold in small parcels and the agricultural areas are eagerly taken up by the old ten ants of the soil. Trices of farm produce are higher than before the war; wages are also higher and there seems to be an abundance of money in the country." Aside from restlessness among the coal miners and railway employes of Kngland and Wales the British Isles en Joy industrial peace, Koberts averred. The mitiers work seven hours per day and five days a week and their wages are better than ever before. Prodnction at the mines, howeveg. fails to keep pace with the demand for coal. "The alleged bitterness of feeling to ward America and Americans either did not exist or was well disguised by the people 1 talked with in England," said Itoberts. They were keenly disap pointed though because-WP have failed ' to come Into the League of Nations. The people of Kngland have come to rely, on the league as a preventive of future . wars and believe" that the entry of the United Statns would guarantee the effec tiveness of the international agreement." Mr. and Mrs. Roberts visited In New York, North Carolina. Florida and Louis iana on their way home from the old country. Pythians Choose Portland as Place For Next Session Marshfmld, Oct. 14.

TRADE IS SOUGHT BY SOVIET CHIEF ( 'I fCeatttmad from Fm Om.) fusal to deal with- us because our gov ernment does not suit his taste. WANTS TRADE OPENED Leaders of the Republican party seem te realize that the period of isola tion from European affairs is past It Is evident that the country cannot play such a part without utilising the Immense- unexploited reservoir of raw ma terials offered by soviet Russia. And. in turn, soviet Russia can purchase un limited quantities of manufactured goods. . "After the great war soviet Russia remains the only solvent European coun try. M. Colby (the American secretary of state) tells the Italian government we will not keep our agreements. But Mr. Colby to my mind should weigh his words cautiously. He will not be able to cite a single Instance nor a single fact of our failing to fearry out our obli gations "And what about William Bullitt?

Didn't John Maynard Keynes, an authority on the economic consequences of the war, and others who were not Bolshevikl, give an estimate of Mr. Wilson's obligations V Mr. Bullitt was a member of the American delegation to the peace con ference. He went to Russia and made an investigation with results that were favorable to the soviet regime. Later Mr. Bullitt said that President Wilson had refused to accept Jus report. John VI.

Although Dr. Equi's stay of execu tion expires at midnight federal offi cials sajy they will allow her to spend the remainder of the night in freedom. As Dr. Equi has signified her willing ness to surrender, it is probable she will be allowed her freedom until the court convenes at 10 a. m, Friday. Judge Wolverton will be on the bench Friday morning, as Judge Bean la leav ing for San Francisco to sit for Judge M. T. Dooling.
