SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19. 1821. THE OREGON DAILY, JOURNAL. 'PORTLAND. OREGON 11 i 1 i t: AMERICAN RELIEF WORK IN IRELAND BESETBYTROUBLE (By United News) London, Feb. 19. Administrators of the American relief funds In Ire land find themselves in an exceed ingly ' delicate position as between the British government and the people-they are seeking to aid. It is obvious that the greatest care must be taken in order to avoid the slightest implication that they are act ing as a sort of. "Sinn Fein treasury." It is equally obvious that direct relief afforded actual , "rebels" against Great Britain would arouse the government and might result In shutting off aid to those who, although not in arms against Kngland, are suffering through the con ditions of war. ! BETWEEN TWO FIRES The United News learns authorita tively that the government will strenu ously oppose the provision of relief to numerous classes of depende(nts in "Ire land whose men "folks are fin govern ment phraseology "on the fun." since it is believed that in many such cases funds and food will reach suspects who are fleeing from justice. In any .event, it. is pointed out, aid tendered to families of such fugitives would encourage them to remain in hid ing, knowing .that their wives and chil dren were being cared forv And this would again, from the official stand point, "encourage rebellion."; BOINO MCCH WOnK Thus far, from reports received from relief officials,, it is believed that they and the government are cooperating. No untoward incidents have- been re ported, and it may be said that the American relief actually is accomplish ing some good work. ' .x There -is some apprehension, however. In London, particularly In government circles. The chaotic, conditions and inability to foretell what effect ibe gov ernment program will have frankly lead to some doubt as to the ability of the American . officials to proceed very far without becoming Involved in , an extremely-delicate situation; ' . v- I Failure of Banks ! In N. D. Blamed to Holding of Grain Bismarck. N. D.; 'Feb. 19. (U. P.) Falling grain prices and the refusal- of fanners to sell grain is largely respon sible for a shortage of reserve, in North Dakota banks, W. M. Thatcher, account ant, told the senate committee investigat ing the state bank. Deposits in North Dakota banks de creased 127.000.000 during 1920, he said, and bills payable increased $14,500,000. At present the reserve Is about 59.4 per cent of what it should be, he pointed out, and blamed this on the fact that the j'tfople have been living on their sur . plus. As a result of this condition the banks are in bad shape and scores more may be expected to close their doors tempo rarily, it was predicted.

The house Friday refused to give a constitu tional majority to senate bill 122, which proposed that TO per cent of road taxes collected within municipalities could be expended by the county courts on roads or streets within such cities.

Senate bill. 3 was passed by the house. It continues the authority of the state land "board to lease the beds of nav igable streams for the removal of rock, gravel, etc.' but provides that any coun ty may take such gravel, rock and sand for public use within its boundaries without charge or further permit, and that no charge shall be made for any such material w hen it is' used In the grading, paving or improvement of any state or county public highway, street or alley or in the construction 'of any bridge'or public building. . -, Malheur Will Ask : For Improvement of Vale -Ontario Road Vale, Feb. : 19. -At the suggestion of R.

Senator Borah of Idaho served emphatic notice on President-elect Harding that he does nt propose to have his actions in the next four years regulated by a "nod from the White House." Delivery of this ultimatum was oc casioned by a statement from Senator McCormick. of Illinois that if congress proceeds with the program of disarma ment which Senator Borati spongers be fore Mr. Harding has an opportunity to act on it, it will gravely embarrass him in the conduct of his international policies. Senator McCormick had just returned from a conference with Harding at St. Augustine and his . statement was re garded as -a direct message from tht new president. Senator Borah was quick to resent the assumed interference. "If the Republican party is to be ad vertised to the world that It. does not dare to act on a matter of vital im portance until it has heard from the president-elect," he exclaimed, "1 want to declare now and finally that I shall be no party to such a policy." "How can we embarrass hiraT" he continued, his voice filling the chamber. "I have the utmost respect for him, but this question of making appropriations of $64,000,000 for naval construction alone is surely one within the jurisdic tion of co"ngree. Action on it by con gress could not conceivably embarrass the president-elect. . "During the last eight years we have had it drummed into our ears that con gress bowed and kow towed to the nod from the White Hovse ; that not only did congress abdicate its judgment but its functions. I want to say now that in the four years ahead of us I have nt the least Intention of bowing to a nod from the White House or abdicating either nay judgment or my functions." Willamette Company Uncertain Regarding Plan for Rebuilding Plans for future operations of the Willamette Iron & Steel works, which was badly damaoel by fire early Friday morning, have not been completed, ac cording to an announcement made this morning by B. C. Ball, president. Officials of the ' company have been unable to determine whether it would be advisable to reconstruct the plant on the present site, or erect a new plant on a site recently acquired. Krection of an entirely new plant would take more time,' it is pointed out, and would keep the 400 men now out of work on the idle list much longer. ; On the other hand, the underpinning and piles on which the present plat at the foot of Seventeenth street was constructed were so badly damaged by the fire that it is not yet known whether or not it would be advisable to attempt recon struction.
