TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8. 1821. . THE OREGCflJ. 15AILY JOURNAL,! " PORTLAND, OREGON: "WEARETREADING 1 PATH OF WAR,' IS ICU III ion ti Bun ADM MP Bv Pctct Sari L'nltad ttm Staff Commndmr $ London. Feb. 8. The British for eicn office on Monday made a gesture of tremendous significance ' when It summoned to its office in "Whitehall every correspondent rep resenting an American newspaper or news service, and uttered, through the lips of the most important fig ures in Anglo-American relations to day, a warning that ."we are treading the path leading to war.". The conference had neen carefully ar . ranged. . It was conducted under circum stances that left no doubt as to its offi cial character. Kvery -preparation, even down to such details as the providing of paper nd pencils, had been made. The spokesman for Great Britain, it was an nounced before the. session, must ' re main ' anonymous. But it was. evident that in his address he had the knowl edge, the sanction and the approval of the government. , 1 APPEAL FOB PATIEXCE The newspa permen, accustomed to dealing with the softer phrases of diplo macy, were amased at the frankness of the speech, from which it was to be inferred , that America' relations with Kneland are strained to a far greater degree than would appear on the sur face although the speaker smoothed away some of the harshness of the text by declaring that there was "no ques tion under discussion which could not be settled diplomatically. In substance the statement was a direct appeal to both countries, through , the press, to exercise patience and to use every possible care to guard against statements or actions which might serve to arouse feelings either in England or , America. "'But it was a forceful, vigorous warning, in which terms not usually : found in diplomatic exchanges were i:sed. - "GROWS BT FIECE31EAI, . "We will always have some commer cial disputes," said the speaker,' although there Is not one of them that cannot be settled diplomatically. And every ques tion now under discussion by the two countries can be easily . adjusted by diplomacy." : The speaker insisted upon describing the situation as one of "broad aspects" In which the Anglo-American people are drifting apart through a lack of com prehension for each other.- He declared that conditions had been brought about "by piecemeal," partly through news and press stories exchanged between Great Britain and America. He blamed much of the present sentiment In both countries upon English' and American local politicians." ''It is a ' very serious situation." he paid. "I find that Londoners and the Kngllsh generally do not appreciate the fact that their Interests are linked with American industry. And I find Ameri cans who do not realise what England is today, picturing it rather as the pre-, war England, And each is making it impossible to accede to ,the other. . EJV WAB JS NEAR i "It is inconceivable that two great na- 1 tlOhS upon whom bo much depends, - should drist towards the breach and be come Involved in-war. 1 "Vet. that . ia the path we are now treading. "An Anglo-American war would be a . calamity of the first water to the world." The newspaper men questioned the sneaker as to the immediate causes of the situation He replied that the dif ficulties are arising from broader causes than any single question under discus sion today. . , ' The whole conference caused keen speculation among . the correspondents, who found it easy to recall certain ref- erencea in the British editorials recently, all with strange similarity speaking of the "unthinkabillty" of an Anglo-American war. .: . TWO,3ttOTITE9 SMX ; .v Incidentally , there was an'1- unasked question in every man's nwnd as to the real purpose of the interview. They ' wondered whether- the- speaker desired , to intensify hlj r suggestion as to the possibility of a future war. with Eng land, for the purpose .of bringing the situation to .the attention of (he two peoples, in order to- ameliorate condi tions and revive international cordial ity, or whether he really desired to pre sent the seriousness of conditions for the' purpose of obtaining the 'editorial reaction" in other words, to f eel - the American pulse. f f Their conclusion was that it . is alto gether possible that the diplomat sought to do both. ; Questions Were asked concerning the British debt tos, America. To these the speaker answered that tt was France who first took up the crusade - looking to the cancellation of war debts among the allies, in March, 1918. at the. Paris peace conference. The Americans took up the .matter but unsympathetically with the, British. Wirt Miner Named .Wayerley President , Wirt Minor was elected president of the Waverlfy- Countryvxlub at a meet ing of the newly elected board of direc tors Monday.

Roleff is said; to have a passion for "barbuda," the native gambling game of Bulgaria, which caused him to lose all of his money In North End gambling places. : Marcoff i told the police Roleff borrowed $4000 from him and $1000 from other fellow countrymen, after showing them telegrams and letter supposed to be from his wife, telling of a farm in. Hood River valley, ; threatened by - a mortgage. Stories of his supposed wife's illness and; his hungry children aided Roleff in borrowing the money, which he is said to have immediately gambled away. When liquidation of the debt seemed impossible, the enraged country men of Roleff complained to the police. Roleff will be able to pay 5 mills on a.-dollar,- the police say, as he had $25 in. his possession when taken. , ' ' Baby Eescued From i Wreck Is Grandson 0f Portland Woman ?"- t f-- -.- . . : '.'.-.-, . .....
