HAS GOOD EFFECT
AT. GENEVA MEET
Conservatives Are Warned They
Cannot Usie High-Handed
Methods Against Small Nations
- By A. E. Johnson .
tnited Nt,Strf Correspondent
Geneva, Dec-Hx The Puerrydon
skyrocket has flashed across the as
sembly horizon, throwing Into tem
porary highlight some of the league's
inore pronounced defects and has
fizzled out
it has served, perhaps, a useful pur
pose In warning the ultra-conservative
element of the assembly against an at
tempt at high banded encroachment on
the rights of lesser powers and against
steam rollei methods on the part either
of conservatives or liberals. Its effect,
aside from the unfortunate removal of
Argentine front the scene, should be ben
eficial. MEMBERS ARE FIRM
' 4 ' ...
Kvents proved the solidity of the
league members, great and smalt, against
Fuerrydon's move toward disruption.
The South Americans, regretting the loss
Of the Argentine republic, failed to rally
to Puerrydon's support. And even the
Canadians, who had been expected to
fight for an amendment eliminating Ar
ticle X, declared themselves as "bowing
' gracefully to the Inevitable and acceding
to the postponement of the question."
The liberals point out. however, that
while the withdrawal of the Argentine
delegation Is. to be deplored, Puerrydon's
action at least jarred the old guard out
of Its conservative trenches, and awoke
the various liberal delegation's from the
lethargy induced by two weeks of dull
commission sessions, ' ,
It revealed. In the words of a member
of the secretariat, certain glaring defects
in the assembly, "showing up the dan
. gers of procrastination, and teaching
both sides that self-confidence is a grave
mistake at this time."
ROBERT CECIL CHOSEX i
Lord Robert Cecil's reply: to Puerry
don was the result of a long conference
of the big 13. It had at first been In
tended that Viviani of France should
present his customarily spirited defense
of the league official. But when it de
veloped that the other-South American
nations were not inclined to follow the
Insurgents, it was decided that Lord
Robert, the best known exponent of lib
eralism, was best fitted to Iron out the
difficulty.
Viviani, It was feared, as the embodi
ment of the old guard, was apt to over
step U13 proper bounds, and in a vitriolic
speech denounce the; whole proceedings,
thereby alienating rather than conciliat
ing the radical elements.
Lord Roberts' speech was dramatic.
He appealed for sanity and pictured m
vivid phrases the successful future of
the league. He seised the opportunity
for another appeal for general publicity
on league undertakings with the words
"publicity Is the beacon light and cour
age and candor are the keystones of the
league's success."
The Argentinians Vers not present. .
! It Is believed here, however, that the
Argentine diplomat acted strictly In ac-
coraance witn instructions from Presi
dent lrroguen. and . that consequently
any change in Argentine s status was
impossible.

For Higher Kate to
Be Closely Scanned
The city of Portland, the Housewives'
Protective league and various clvlo or
ganisations will be officially represented
at a hearing before the public service
commission Wednesday at 10 a. m., on
the application of the Portland Gas &
Coke company for an Increased service
rate. The hearing will be held at the
court house and is open to the public.
The company bases its application for
an Increased rate on the advance In the
price of fuel oil, showing that with the
termination of a six-year contraet with
the Union Oil company on December
80, the price it win be obliged to pay
for this product will be increased from
76 cents to 32.75 ner barreL
According to officials of the company J
it will be impossible to secure a contract
for oil after January and the plan pro
posed by the company officials provides
for a rate contingent on the fluctuations
of the oil price. The company's plant
consumed 736,000 barrels of oil during
the year ending September 80.

ining the books of the Portland. Gas &
