HUGHES VIEWS ON
FOREIGN POLICY
GIVEN IN CAMPAIGN
' I
I '
Economic Conditions More Than
Words! Will Be Assurance
Against War Is His Contention.
By David ' Lawrence !
- (Copyright. 1921, ! bf The Journal)
- . Washington, Jan. 15. The prac
tical certainty that Charles Evans
Hushes will be secretary of state In
the Harding cabinet has led some
members oT the senate, in the (last
few days, to take a respective glance
at the views of the former associate
Justice, hot his views on legislative
questions but his utterances on for
eign policy which during the cam
' paign had a passing value, bu; which
now will become the basis of Amer
ican action after March 4.
"It should be remembered," wrote Mr.
Hughes on one occasion, "that the great
; protection against war for a consider-
able period of years will be found not
in any form of words that may be now
adopted, however desirable these may
be, but in- economic conditions which
re an assurance that for a consider
able time at least we shall not have a
recurrence of world strife." The danger
now lies," he added, "not in the menace
of force employed to further imperial
designs but in the disorder due to a
breakup and the removal of traditional
- restrains and the tendency to revolution
within' states. In making committments
it should be remembered that while.it is
highly important that at this time we
, should do everything that is practicable
, 'to promote peace -and "to secure stable
, conditions, we should be cautious in
- making promises which are to be re
deemed in unknown contingencies."
FOIJJTS OP CRITICISM .
Some of the main points in Mr.
Hughes' criticism of present 'Covenaat-.of i
the League of Nations are as follows :
(1) Omitting the guaranty in article- X.
(2) Suitable limitations as to the field
of the league's Inquiries and action so
: as to leave .no doubt that the internal
concerns vt states" such as immigration
and tariff laws are . not embarrassed.
(J) Provision that no foreign power
shall acquire by conquest, purchase or
In any other way any possession on the
American continent or the islands ad
jacent thereto.
(4) Provision that the settlement of
purely American questions shall be re
mitted i primarily to the American na
tions and that European nations shall
not Intervene unless requested to do so
by the American nations.
(a) Provision that no member of the
- league shall be constituted a mandatory
without its consent, and no. European- or
Asiatic power shall be constituted a
mandatory of any American people.
(C) Explicit provision that unanimous
agreement or decision is required.
(7) Provision that any member of the
League of Nations may withdraw at its
pleasure on a specified notice.
OBJECTS TO INFLEXIBLE RULE
Speaking particularly of Article X Mr.
Hughes said he regarded the guarantee
) in Article X as "a trouble breeder and
not a peacemaker."
He declared he believed it. "to- be-un-
necessary and unwise," and that, "there
is little ground to suppose that Ijt will
prevent war, cn the contrary, it will
likely prove, illusory and to create dis
appointment and a sense of injury and
injustice on the part of those who are
led to place confidence in it."
Here is n paragraph, however, which
makes it possible for Mr. Hughes to ap
proach the Harding campaign view of
the league Issue and' his own early ln
: clinatlons toward modification - of the
present covenant of the league.
T think.lt Is fallacy to suppose that
helpful cooperation in the future will be
assured by the attempted compulsion
of an inflexible rule. Rather will such
cooperation depend upon the fostering of
firm friendships, springing from an ap-
: preclation of : community of ideals, in
terests and purposes, and such friend
l ships are more likely to be promoted
by freedom of conference than by the
effort to create hard and fast agree
ments." The foregoing is sufficiently broad to
. permit Mr. Hughes to decide eventually
that freedom of conference without ob
ligation or commitment can be obtained
. by so modifying the covenant as to leave
America free hand in everything, yet-
permuting ner to sit as a member of an
organization which is already In opera
tion; or, it may permit Mr. Hughes to
ak other nations in the league to join
a new association which has much less
specific powers, than the present league
and one that is patterned after The
Hague conference,
KXPECT HIM TO LEAI
The selection of Mr. Hughes as secret
try of state is due largely to the fact
that his record is general enough and
his utterances broad enough to give him
.'a free hand lii taking advantage of such
machinery for International cooperation
as is already In existence or in" the
setting up of new processes fitted to the
campaign pledges of American freedom
of Action in international affairs. One
thing is sure, neither the Lodge reserva
- tionists nor the irreconcilables can claim
that Mr. Hughes words make it impossl
. ble for him, to accept their point of view
and there are plenty of mlddle-of-the-,
road senators who think the Hughes
mind will produce a compromise. They
expect him to lead the party out of the
wilderness of dissention and turn
v thought and ability 'of the party to a
solution of the acute business and eco
nomic problems of reconstruction.
Million Magazines
Donated to Loggers
The blue boxes placed about the
streets of Portland for used magazines
enabled the Anderson system headquar-
.." ters, 143 North Grand avenue, to send
over a million copies of magazines free
from the taint of - Boshevism among the
loggers of the Northwest during the
past year. . The magazines are collected
from the boxes, wrapped and sent to
the Various lumber camps.

I don't know about a jazz opera,

real American opera. All composers

She confessed she. did not know much''
about Russian opera. i
"But If ChaJapein will come and sigh.
he can sing anything he pleases, Rus

The reporters looked at each other.
.""Who is Chalapein?" they asked.
"Dear me, the greatest tenor in the
woria." she responded. "But I don't
know how to spell his name-" Neither
did the reporters. . .
Then she continued: ...'
"I will produce German opera only
in German. But I will make cuts. All
operas need cutting. Wagner is not
the only one. What a wonder Campa
ninl was at cutting always making it
light and improving everything. I will
cut, too." .
2VO MORE FRIDAT OPERAS
There will be no more opera on Friday
night, she said. It would be unfair to
the regular subscribers and patrons who
purchased tickets, believing they would
see all the opera purchased?. In the past
novelties have been- produced on Friday,
but that will end.
"Chicago la going to have the great
est opera in the' world." she went on,
and indicated that she will rule with an
iron hand. -
"I have to," she added, "if I am go
ing to be the boss. If the artists don't
want to work for me, they can go. There
will be ho change in conductor. I have
great respect of Marinuzzi's talents
and hope he will remain with us.
"The thing that is most Important is
that I am in. Better than that. 1 have
the unqualified support of the board of
directors. They have promised to as

RECALL OF STATE
OFFICIALS IS SEEN
IN
Majority of Non-Partisan League
So Small Proposed Election
Will Oust It, Says Editor.
Recall of the governor, attorney
general and other state officials of
North Dakota was predicted Satur
day night by Sam H. Clark, editor
of "Jim Jam Jems," and one of the
leading politicians of the state. 1 The
change of one vote in each of the
2200 precincts of North Dakota
would have defeated the entire Non
partisan league state ticket at the
general election in November, ac
cording to Clark, and he ia confi
dent that this narrow margin could
be secured by the league's opponents
in a recall election.
Clark is registered at the Multnomah
hotel. He is accompanied by his wife
and is spending a few days here play
ing golf with John C. Shillock and
other friends. He will also spend some
time with his brother, Charles S. Clark,
editor of the Stayton Mail, prior to
continuing a Journey to California
points.
LOWER HOUSE EVEHLT DIVIDED
According to the editor of Jim Jam
Jems, the lower house of the North
Dakota legislature ia evenly divided be
tween members of the Non-partisan
league and the Independent Voters' as
sociation, a political organization op
posed to the league. In the upper
house the league has a majority of
one member, and the rapidly waning
power of the organization is counted
upon to weaken the slight advantage in
voting power.
About 30 North Dakita banks have
failed during the last few months, Clark
states, and to relieve the strain on the
remaining financial institutions the state
bankers association sent a delegation
East to secure funds for financing the
league's industrial program. Eastern
financiers were not opposed to making
the required loan, but demanded as a
prior concession that the Bank of
North Dakota liquidate its obligations
and suspend operations.
COMMISSION IGNORES ORDER
This proposal was put up to the
state industrial commission, composed
of the governor, attorney general and
commissioner of agriculture and labor.
The commission refused to accede to
the demands of the bankers, and last
week the lower he use of the legisla
ture passed a resolution calling on the
members of the commission to submit
a report and explain their reasons for
standing in the way of the proposed
loan.
" Should the industrial commission re
fuse to meet the demand of the lower
house, the league would, suffer a loss
of prestige among the voters Of the
state, and if they agree to the liquida
tion of the Bank of North Takotahey
will tacitly admit the failure of the
league to conduct Its financial program.
In either event a t recall vote is prac
tically certain, according to Clark.
SOURCE OF -INJURY
"The principal injury to North Da
kota through the operations of the
"Non-partisan league comes from a mis
understanding of the situation by peo
ple outside the state," said Clark.
"Outside capital has been frightened
away from the state, however, and
loans to farmers have been called in
by Eastern mortgage companies.

NORTH
DAKOTA
Nearly- all of the loans made to farm
ers of the state .by the Bank of North
Dakota have been applied to liquida
tion of mortgages held outside the
state. This withdrawal of funds proved
disastrous to privately owned banks,
and the Bank of North Dakota, either
through Inability or Indifference, failed
to meet the urgent need of the smaller
Institutions. , ,
"I am heartily in sympathy with the
provement of the farmers in North
Dakota," said Clark. "Their grievances
were well founded add they were Jus
tified in effecting an organization to
protect their interests, but the Non
partisan league quickly fell into the
hands of visionary and impracticable
leaders, . who have injured the cause
of the farmers and brought financial
distress to residents of the state."!

Spectators in District Judge
Deich's court shattered the j usual
court dignity Saturday afternoon
when they spontaneously tmrstf forth
in applause as Judge Deich denied
the clainr of S. F. Wyrick for J 20
rent money from Mrs. Grace; Odell
for two housekeeping r6oms she had
never used.
The testimony developed a phase of
landlordism - that caused the judgment
of Trie court to touch a responsive chord
among the spectators, among wnom

were numerous women gathered to giveaway niKht Mart imagined he saw
"moral support" to Mrs. Odell.
She was compelled to secure a new
location for herself and her two little
children before going to work for a
laundry, she said, and she told Wyrick
that if she found nothing better she
would take the rooms. He told her to
send her trunks to his place in the
meanwhile, she said, and there would
be no charge for storage. She idld so,

but when she saw the rooms she de

through action by the police department.
Then. Wyrick filed suit for $20. although
the woman had never used the rooms
and the landlord had a tenant in them
all the time, from whom he was collect

Judge Detch intimated that he might

damages had Bhe made a claim at the
proper time, but he rejected the Wyrick
claim after subjecting the landlord to
some questioning.
CAUL, OP WILD GETS FINK

Jack London grinned when he stood
before District Judge Deich Saturday
afternoon and admitted that he has a
famous name but; doesn't claim relation
ship with the famous author. He prac
tically admitted, howeyer, that he had
felt the call of the wild when he manip
ulated his ; wood delivery truck in such
a; carfeless manner that it backed into
the automobile of William H. Westeott.

Kdward Johnsori and Henry Mart are

Johnson give two girls some cigarette
at least, that is what Mart told Munici
pal Judge Rossman Saturday. Mart said
he taxed Johnson with giving the girls
"smokes" and was in turn given a punch
in the 'jaw. Even though Johnson tes
tified ' that he was merely giving the
girls matches with which to light the
dark hall while they were unlocking
their door, the court found him guilty
of assault and battery. The fine was $5.
