"European statesmanship drenched the world with blood," cried the Canadian delegate. "Fifty thousand in dead was the price that Canada paid." This declaration was made during de bate on the report on technical organiza tions of the league. Rowell expressed fears ' that, on account of the distance, non-European nations would send second class f diplomats ' ' while'' the European powers, being near at hand, would send first class diplomats who would gain control..: ; This statement was greeted with ap plause. Australia quickly lined up with Can ada, widening the break in the repre sentation of the British empire. Senator E. D. MiHen, representing Australia, warmly supported the -Cana dian protest. He declared . that Aus tralia would not contribute financial aid to expensive technical organizations not nrovided for in the League of Nations covenant, but created by Europeans for their own benetit. , Gabriel Hanotaux of the French dele gation made hot reply to Mr. Rowell's speech. "Europe fought for the whole world.' cried M.s Hanotaux. "Are you going to refuse to give her her rights?" Canada defeated the alleged attempt of the European powers to gain control of the league through the establishment of technical organisations not provided for in the covenant.

This was the first timet since the league meet ing opened that the assembly failed im mediately to adopt a committee report with the committee's recommendations. fThere was every , indication today that Article X of the covenant of the League of Nations, which ; is the chief bar to America's entrance, will be retained The assembly has shown that it over whelmingly favors retention of Article X.

IS SET ASIDE Contract for Sale of Government Property in Pacific Coast Yards to Portland Concern Cancelled; To R-eadvertise for Bids. ; r Washington, Dec. 8. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL.) The shipping board has .de cided to set aside the contract awarded the Barde Industrial com pany; of Portland for the purchase of surplus materials of the board on the Pacific coast, and will readver tise for bids. i ' ' : V ' ' ! m This is the second time in as many months that the Barde company bidj for Pacific coast shipbuilding, materials! has been repudiated. f In the spring of 1913 the government advertised for bids for the Pacific coast excess building materials of ' the United States shipping board. At that time an estimated valuation of $12,000, 000 was placed upon the material, j Material was segregated into three units and to this basis Pacific coast bidders objected. No bids werf received. Later it became -known that Barde had placed a "bid for the total, surplus of materials on the coast and others who desired to bid claimed they were "froxen out" 'and did not have an opportunity to do so. This came after the appraisal value was reduced to $8,000,000. . ! The official ears of the shipping board opened to the claims of the "f roren Out" bidders and ordered a 15-day extension of time to the sale, making the final closing date for bid acceptance Octo ber 15. j Five bids were received October 15 with none from Barde They were duly forwarded to Chairman Benson of the shipping board and on November ? in formation was received: that all five bids were rejected and that a contract had been made with the Barde Bros: Steel corporation on a guarantee basis. "Going ycSrer the heads", of . the other local bidders raised another storm of protest which was followed by approval of the contract November 11 by Admiral Benson. : Since that time', much pressure has been brought to bear "upotn Benson and other officials of the board and decision to reconsider the matter was made. . Action of setting aside the contract was made by the new shipping board. which has taken office since previous in cidents with the Barde company were enacted. It has not been-learned what time limit will be placed on the readver- tisement for bids. After three months of negotia tion, .protest and hearings, the jcity council this morning voted unani mctusly to issue a permit to author ise reconstruction of the Portland Sanitarium, in the Mount Tabor trict. The action was taken on dis TOO- tion of City Commissioner Barbur in the face of protests of nearly) 100 residents of the district. The trustees of the sanitarium plan to replace the old frame structure, that has done duty there for many years wjth a modern hospital, the first unit of which is to cost about $250,000, Residents ob jecting on all manner, of grounds,! the council has repeatedly postponed final action, one proposition having been made that room for the - hospital could be found on Marquam, hill, where the Uni- verslty of Oregon medical school is de veloping a hospital center. I - This site was not satisfactory to the sanitarium officials, nor was it certain that the site would be available. I Barbur's motion to issue the permit re ferred to the patience of the sanitarium trustees in the face of the many long de lays. There was no dissent on roll call.
