PRICE FIVE CENTS 1 LEAGUE SHIP , STAUNCH, SAY SIGNATORIES Wilson's Idea Indorsed as Best; Association of NationsPlan May Be Blocked by World Pact. Belgian Delegate's Plea Against Disarmament and for, Interna . tional Force Is Given. Applause. By Henry iVood United press Staff Correspondent. Geneva, Nov. 20. The League of Natfons has come to stay. That was the confident assertion tonight of delegates sitting through the as sembly's first -week of debate The general belief Was that the league was safely launched and that all now remaining- to be done ia finishing and decorating. A few changes' may be made in the original plans but in the main, they believed, the vessel is com plete and ready for her career. Germany's possible admission was one of the big questions of the week, but coupled with this was criticism of the league's council for Its secrecy. A plan to amend the method of selecting the council was put before the league today. OPPOSES DISARM A3IENT General disarmament, the hope of many leaders at the peace conference, is .impossible, M. Lafontaine, Belgian dele gate, declared before the assembly Sat urday. V . "The league must rest . upon the strength of the national armies which , are at its disposal, then it will be at the mercy of no one," Lafontaine de clared. He declared that as the situa tion now stands, 42 nations, with armies numbering millions, the league has been unable to save Armenia. He demanded an international military force under a general staff to demon strate the effectiveness of the league. Lafontaine was rewarded with tre mendous applause. - GERM AST'S POSITION- ' ' Germany's position is : peculiar. , By notifying the league assembly that she does not consider herself bound by the clause giving up her colonies because the treaty has been Invalidated, Ger man vWhj hrhvw1 ie havfcJnAitfA- desire to force herway Into, the organ- Ization. Germany was believed to have ' the support of most of the strong Latin and the .Scandinavian countries, and it will be crtaln she will be Invited to apply for membership at the next ses sion of Die assembly. : Recommendations for -a change in the method of selecting the powerful league council were" put forward by New ton t Howell, Canadian delegate. ' "Canada is convinced the league of Nations is . the ; surest solution of the world's problems, chief of which, is the economic," Rowell declared., "But unless the nations represented in 'the council are willing" to carry out the council's decisions-rwhich they have not done to date then we must change the system of naming members of the council. ' We should let the assembly as a whole choose the councillors hereafter." MAT BLOCK V. 8. Among delegates, it was believed the league is too firmly established after this first week of debate to permit the United States to launch another associa tion of nations. All delegates appeared anxious to make concessions to obtain America's entry but those nations which have been hold ing off or participating lukewarmly in its affairs," have been forced Jo Join whole heartedly in the meetings. - The opinlon of well Informed observers as well as delegates was that President Wilson's league is a .concrete organiza tion and a most formidable reality, while any other organization Just now is nebu lous. ' There was criticism of the president, however, for insisting on the Article X. This criticism was more apparent when -delegates began talking of the necessity of making still other changes in the covenant before It will satisfy the mem ber nations as well as meet the world's " practical needs rather than the idealistic conditions its founders visualized. U. S. May Recognize Mexico lr Legal Queries Are Met By David Lawrence (Copyrisht, 1920, by The Journal) Washington, Nov. 20. The United States government stands ready to recognize the government in Mexico over which President-elect ! Alvaro Obregon will rule next month, pro-) vlded the legal questions pending between the two governments can be. satisfactorily adjusted. For the first time in more than a decade a government has arisen in Mexico which appears to realize fully the necessity of cooperation with the United States, but public opinion below- the Rio Grande is still as sen sitive about any attitude that might seem cringing or suppliant.-. This accounts for the official state ments Insisting that Mexico cannot af ford to accept any recognition which has conditions attached to it. Naturally the American government has no desire to impose conditions as such. Moreover, the Washington administration realizes that'" American public opinion will not be satisfied with mere promises and that actual performance is necessary. Some start must be made toward - the settle ment of pending difficulties and when enough action has been taken by the Mexican government to warrant a belief that the points which the United States wishes cleared up will be eventually National Bird Roosting High At 60 Cents Producers of Thanksgiving Morsel Holding for Top Figures; Cranberries Hit Up Grade.' By Ilyman II. Cohen ' The . Thanksgiving turkey will cost consumers 60 cents a pound unless the growers relent, and even this price will not meet with the profit view of retailers. Sales and shipments of turkeys at leading. Willamette valley points are the smallest known for many years. This is due to the fact that growers there had been advised by farm agents to hold their turkeys for the extreme price and they are doing it. Turkeys without cranberry sauce are scarcely to be considered, and the sauce will cost more money this season, the average price being 25 cents a pound as compared with the normal around 15 cents. Not only is there a higher price for cranberries but, due to failure of Eastern stock id arrive, a shortage is threatened. There are plenty of crabs and a liberal supply of oysters In sight for the holiday. Oysters are costing little more than the normal price before the war ; although that was very high. For the first time In many years ample supplies of fresh crabs are available, but these are generally selling around 45 to 5ft .cents each for the large size, (Concluded on Put Four, Column Four) ACCEPTED BY YEON Well-Known Authority on Road Construction Finally Yields to Governor's Appeal.

S. PROTESTS BIG POWERS' ' - SECRET DEALS State Department Sends jNote to Great Britain Regarding Her Oil Agreement With France. Points Out Action Is Violation of Stand Taken by America for Equal Rights for Mandatories. Washington, Nov. 20. (y. P.) The United States has dispatched a note to Great, Britain protesting against secret agreements between the allies for the exploitation of ter ritories of the former Turkish em pire, it was learned tonight. The note Is the second of a series be tween the United States and Great Brit ain since a recent agreement between Great Britain and France forj exploita tion i of oil resources of Mesopotamia came to light some time ago. The present note Is understood to be addressed to Lord Cwrzon, British min ister for foreign affairs. The entire correspondence with Great Britain prob ably will be made public by the state de partment early next week. STANDS FOR EQUAL RIGHTS The first note was sent to Great Britain several months ago as an in quiry into the agreement reached at San Itemo, Italy, between England and France on Mesopotamia oil territory. The state department is understood to have pointed out in this note the agree ment was in violation of the stand of the United States that all nations must be given equal rights in mandate countries. Great Britain holds, the mandate over Mesopotamia. The agreement between Great Britain and France provided for an apparent division between the .two countries of the oil supplies of Mesopo tamia. The reply of Great Britain to the first note of the United States is understood to have said that the agreement did' not prevent any other nations from the com mercial exploitation of Mesopotamia or prejudice -their rights, but the pact was merely intended to facilitate greatly needed oil supplies to the two countries. CONTAINS I. S. POLICY ' , ' ; The note which is now. being senti-by the state departmentln -njwtff HwtHt British rejoinder to the' first J American note is believed to contain a broad dec laration of policy on the question of .man date territories. It is expected to 'cover other cases of what the United States regards as exclusive exploitation of man date countries by the principal allies. The recent ' trl-partite agreement be tween Great Britain,. France (and Italy, creating special spheres of influence for these countries in Turkey, may be taken up in the present note. The policy to be set forth by the United States will be held applicable to ail cases of mandate territories, however. The position of the United States on this question was President Wilson's first announced in note to the allies protesting against the ternks of the Turkey Turkish treaty, which allowed to' hold Constantinople. The! president stated that the United States expected that American citizens were tjo be given rights in commercial enterprise in Turk ish territories and mandates to be cre ated out of Turkey.

"If France will con sent to fix the total indemnity required from Germany it is not impossible that Germany will pay. 1 will be the first to lay my two fists on1 the table alongside those of the French premier to compel th payment." Premier Lloyd George of England is thus quoted in an interview obtained by the London correspondent of the Petit Parisien. j The question of fixing definitely the indemnity desired from Germany has been the subject of many exchanges between France and England. France has favored a sliding scale to be increased as Germany's productiveness grows while England has favored a fixed amount to facilitate Europe's getting to a definite economic restor ation basis.
