can administration with regard to the
repayment to the United States of the
allied debt of more than 110.000,000,000
will be set forth by President Harding iri
his address to congress early in April.
The - president-elect stated today , that
he would make no mention of this mo
mentous question in his inaugural ad
dress, which is to be confined strictly to
domestic affairs. ' .
The whole question of .allied indebted
ness was gone over by Mr,' Harding to

J. P. Morgan Sc. Co. Lamont is fre
quently described as the unofficial finan
cial agent of the British government in
this country? and during " the peace con
ference in Paris was financial represent

WILSON DISCOURAGED, HOPE
OP CANCEIXIXG WAR DEBTS
By David Lawrence (
Copyright 19211
Washington. Fen. 13. Def ending
President Wilson from attack for some
of his - attitudes at the peace confer
ence may not be fashionable but, in the
interest of fair play those who know the
facts concerning the alleged promise Of
Mr. Wilson to secure the cancellation of
the allied war debt -have, no hesitancy
in saying that far from, welcoming nhe
suggestions made informally to him, he
actually resented the idea.
One man who was with the president
during the peace negotiations tells a
story of a dramatic- Incident that oc
curred at a luncheon given to President
Wilson by the members of the French
chamber of deputies, which corresponds
to the American house of representa
tives. '.'
GOT 3CO EJfCOUBAGEMEST ; .
. Mr. Wilson fulry expected that the af
fair would be altogether social and was
not prepared to talk shop. The presi
dent of the French chamber was seated
next to Mr. Wilson and his attempts to
get Mr. Wilson to - commit liimseif in
nrlvAt ronvwatlmi tr anmA nlnn fnr
the pooling of war debts was received
with such a frown of disapproval and
with such emphatic remarks that per
sons at the table related the incident
later as an indication that so far as
' Mr. Wilson was concerned there was no
hope of getting . him to agree to any
cancellation of war debts.
It is true that the proposal was never
at least a score of different suggestions
and plans were laM informally before
Mr. Wilson by French, Italian arid Brit
ish .. experts, all presuming to arrange
for a pooling of assets and liabilities,
but in reality designed to relieve Europe
of much of her financial obligations -to
the United States.
HAD TO KEEP ALEST "
Mr. Wilson grew so sensitive, indeed
so suspicious, of these plans ' that the
r.ewspaper correspondents who . were
present at the plenary conference in
reorosry, ia is, win not. rorgec witn wnat
. abruptness Mr. Wilson interrupted the
proceedings to inquire what was the
purpose of the special financial section
which was to be a part of the organisa
tion of the League of Nations. The
proposal was made as an amendment to
mm
-1 Y ' l e l A s
the general declaration ' of princlpl
I
which had , just been . adopted pledging
the countries present to a League of Na
tions, and Premier 'Clemenceau read
so rapidly - and tin - such a - perfunctory
fashion that the; president showed signs
of uneasiness and asked Mr. Clemenceau
where the suggestion had originated and
what its purpose was. ;
The French premier pointed out that
the powers of f the special committee
would be only advisory and that It would
r.ot interfere with the freedom of action
of individual nations.
Everybody who was in Paris watch
ing the American peace commission from
day to day knew . of - the efforts of the
Kuropean statesmen to . interest the
Americans in proposals that would light
en the financial burdens of . Europe.
Suggestions of the cancellation of the
allied war debt became so numerous that
America's peace commissioners found it
necessary in their informal conversa
tions with the. Europeans to make clear
two points : j
First, that the United States was by
no means responsible for any debts con
tracted or anything done in the war prior
to April, 1917, and, second, that America
could not in justice to her own people,
who had loaned the money ' through
Liberty bonds, t accept ' any suggestion
even remotely affecting the original ob
ligations. j ;. . ;
SO SHADOW OP DOUBT
The European governments, however.
sharing to some extent the popular con
ceptions abroad of America's limitl
wealth, insisted upon urging a cancella
tion or pooling of -war debts. The pro
posals made public within the last fort
night are part of the same misunder
standing ' of America's position, , even
though that position has been made plain
by Republicans and Democrats of in
fluence from the very beginning. Speeches
made by men like James M. Beck abroad
have often been wrongly interpreted as
the American viewpoint. While only a
few Americans of prominence have urged
the .cancellation of the war debt, their
utterances have been displayed in Euro
peans newspapers and have to some ex
tent encouraged 1 false hopes.
But the European governments ' knew
that not only 'did President Wilson re
sent the suggestion at Paris but that
Secretary McAdoo, Secretary Glass and
Secretary Houston have each in their
turn told European diplomats in unequi
vocal terms that the American people ex
pected their European debtors to make
good their promises to pay.

Class " Legislation
By Its Opponents

representatives Tuesday over house bill

lands in port districts have taken the
timber off their lands and then allowed
taxes to accumulate unpaid so that other
properties within such districts have
to bear an unjust burden of taxation.

live Bennett of Coos county, who de-
ment of lumber interests anfa put a pre
mium on inaction.
Representatives Hindman of Multno

to gouge a particular industry.
Speaker Bean believed it should apply
to coal and oil lands as well as timber
if it was adopted. He declared, how
ever, that it was class legislation.

FOR OR PAVED 419
MILES IN 2 YEARS
Four hundred and nineteen miles
of paving' were laid or contracted for
In Oregon during the last two years,
according to the fourth biennial re
port of the state highway, commis
sion, which lias Just appeared in
book form. This Is divided into S8.5
miles of concrete, 24.1 miles of non
patented bituminous pavement, and
336.75 miles of bitulithic. The bitu
lithic patents expired last May and
up to that date during the biennium
1,221,702.7 square yards had been
laid, or 38.65 per cent mt the total
of this kind of pavement under con
tract.' 1
The latest report, which is of more
permanent binding than the . earlier
cloth-bound volume, is the official issue
of the commission. The introduction is
devoted to a resume of the work during
the last two years, with allusions to the
circumstances under which, the highway
program has been pushed. The person
nel of the commission has been changed,
R. A. Booth alone remaining from the
original commission, of which S. Benson
was chairman, and W. L. Thompson the
third member. Thompson resigned in
1919, and was succeeded by J. X. Bur
gess, at whose death Ed E. Kiddie be
came a member. Benson continued for
time on the commission after the ex
piration of his three-year term, later re
signing. J. B. Yeon was appointed as his
successor. W. B. Barratt of Heppner
succeeded Kiddle at the latter's death.
Herbert Nunn has served as state high
way engineer during the biennium. and
Roy A. Klein as secretary and assistant
engineer..

the first year in which the market road
appropriation has been available ; noth
ing that the state appropriation of
$990,435.48 was matched by the counties.
which accepted the prvistons of the act
without exception. The report goes into
the subjjfcct of federal appropriations in a
general way in the introduction and
more thoroughly in the body of the re
port. From this source, $50,000,000 be
came avaUable for 1919, $75,000,000 for
1920. and another $75,000,000 for 192L
Appropriations for forest roads greatly
swelled the total.
Hy Eilers Loses by
Decision Made by
San Francisco Court
Information has been received in Port
land that the circuit court of appeals
at San Francisco Monday handed down
decision against Hy J. Eilers, presi
dent of the Oregon Eilers Music House,
in which it held that the assets of the
Oregon Eilers Music, House should' be
included with those of Eilers Music
House for the benefit of .creditors. The
appellate court thus upheld the decision
of Federal Judge R. S. Bean and of
Referee A. M. Cannon.
Counsel for the creditors Contends that
the decision precludes Eilers the right
of appeal, but Eilers contends the de
cision merely points' out the nature of
an appeal he must make to the supreme
court. This decision was followed Tues
day by another by the Oregon supreme
court, in whih the .late; Circuit Judge
C. U. Gantenbein was reversed. The
court held Judge Gantenbein in error in
dismissing the suit of the creditors and
remanded the case to the trial court for
a hearing. These decisions have no bear
ing on the indictment returned against
Eilers by the county grand jury, charg
ing larceny by embezzlement.
