(Coprrlffb. 1921, InUrnatiofuJ tim Bmrvicm)
Upon t the occasion of President
"Woodrow WHeon'e retirement to pri
vate life, which takes place Friday,
leading: statesmen- of - Europe were
anJced by the International ; News
. Service to exprea their opinion of
President Wilson's influence upon
world affairs. The two joutstandlngr
fiigrures-Premier Lloyd J George of
' England, and Premier j Briand of
France declined to comment, saying
their positions and the relationship
of their countries with the United
States made it Impossible for them
to give any message. The other mes
sages follow:
' Lou la Da Oeer. premier of Sweden
' President Wilson's greatness lies in his
noble endeavors for establishing justice
and peace between nations. If he did not
succeed as he wished the fault was not
his own. but the world's which was not
: ripe to understand his enlightened
thoughts. He is a man before his Urn.
The world's history will give him full
justice. j .,,-, s
ORLANDO DISLIKES HIM - K -
Former Premier Orlando of Italy who
headed the Italian delegation to the
Paris peace conference If I expressed
my opinion about President Wilson it
would probably offend Americans, while
if I fatuously expressed a polite opinion
It would be hypocrisy. .
Henry Carton . De Wlat, former pre
mier, of Belgium : It is with emotion and
respect that I send personal salutations
to President Wilson upon the occasion
of his retirement. Mr. Wilson's succes
sive messages gave to the great war its
veritable sense of crusade for the right
as Belgium always understood it to be.
Premier Dato of Spain At the time of
the retirement of President Wilson into
private life I can but express the perT
sonal consideration he has inspired in
me for himself as well as. my sincere
svmnathv for his h ten Ideals of justice
and universal entente among the nations
of the whole world. i;He has sown the
seed ; I am sure that sooner or later the
world will make a rich harvest of it.
FRANCE'S DEBT RECALLED
Former Premier ' Alexandre Rlbot of
France I do not ihink it quite correct
for a foreigner to express an opinion of
President. Wilson at the time of his re
tirement from the White House.. So far
as I am concerned. I would prefer to
remain silent. But in view of the fact
that I was premier of Kranca in 1917 I
want to remain under the Impression of
.the admirable way in which President
Wilson interpreted the sentiment of the
vast majority of American people. What
ever may happen France can never for
get all that she owes to President Wil
son... v ' ': ' " - -
Take Jonescu, former premier of Rou
ania and head of the Roumanian dele
gation at the Paris peace conierence :
To rightly judge the work; of President
Wilson. One must recau ne naa to iui
flQ a role unique In-.history. He prac
tically found himself supreme arbitrator
of a mass of questions of special Interest
to the old world which he had never
known before. That was .why. on many
questions. President Wilsoik'was apt to
make mistakes. But his role in the his
tory of humanity will not be lessened
on that account. He is beld .to personify
one of the greatest actions in world his
tory in the arrival of millions of-Americans
in Europe to defend disinterestedly
the cause of right and civilization against
a new dancer and ingenlus barbarisnv
He is the cornerstone of a new era
that of world -politics, replacing Eu
ropean politics and of lofty and pure
idealism. President Wilson remains the
finest living example of what can be pro
duced even in the domain of politics.
The thoughts of a great democracy were
interpreted by a man who loved- big
things. ;
HEGBETS FOSXEB PBAI8B K
-, Philip Scheidemann, former chancellor
of. Germany .. and now lord - mayor of
Cassels President Wilson raised trust
ing hopes ipithe hearts of many millions
of people. n then -destroyed more hopes
than ever did any man before him. Ger
many considered President Wilson - an
iron willed American, but he. turned out
to be a" lecturing professor. - In Paris
he bowed before Clemenceau and Lloyd,
lieorgo instead 01 pgunoins vne taoie
and declaring : -' "My name is Woodrow
Wilson. I am president of .the 'United
States. - I stand by my word like a man."
I am unable to judge what he has ac
complished for America which I had
learned to admire on my lecture tour
In that country .in 1913. I can only wish
in the filture we will never have another
such as Woodrow Wilson for president.
OSKE FULL OF-WOHr;: ''V-'r
tiuatav Noske, former German minis
ter of defense . and . president of the
province of Hanover i Germany will
always remember President Wilson and
his policy with the deepest feelings of
bitterness. To his nathe clings the
memory that Germany losVjthe war,' but
especially the awful peace treaty whose
disastrous consequences to Europe can
not be measured. America caused Ger
many's defeat A majority of -Germans
laid down their arms confident that
President Wilson .would establish peace
on the basis of his 14 points. They feci
they were betrayed and deceived by
President Wilson. The rights of self-
determination were disdained. 'Millions
of Germans forcefully were separated
from their country. . - He has accom
plished nothing in the way of interna
tional disarmament. Only Germany has
been forced , into shameful disarming.
-Instead of building up the League of
Nations, President Wilson has permit
ted French and English to loosen
"terror'v regiments on helpless people.
For a short time he blinded the world
with his theories, but he was Incapable
: of ' big . deeds. ; ,:

German political writer and mouthpiece
of the German i nationalists: Never
were ' people more deceived than when
they. reelected Mr. Wilson in. 1316 be
cause "he had kept America out - of
war." The United State, with her Mood
and money, bought the war's decision
and then dictated peace for her profit.
Hardly, if t ever, has a rulr of a coun

Germans welcome Wilson's successor
President-elect Harding who promises

Pre d a t o r y Animals
Eastern Oregsn stockmen are much
displeased with the small appropriation
allowed by the legibiature for killing
predatory animals, reported Stanley

division of the United States biological
survey, who Is back today from a trip
to Malheur county. i r . ,
-"Virtually all bounty hunters have
qui t,"? said Je we tt. . "The bounty system "
has never been satisfactory, and yet the
kgislature allowed 1100,000 for bounties
and only $7500 for paying trappers. Be
cause of this small fund, which is ex
pected to cover - the work of the S100,
0d0. the coyotes are on the .increase.
I "With the small amount of money we
have we will place our men around the
stock ranches, where they will do ' the
much 'good, but each of the 20 men will
have a territory of ' about 400 square
mlles'to cover." y. 'k': : '
I The present federal sum is 118.000,
said .Jewett. but the appropriation l has
not been made for next year. . .

Mr. Henry Ford, with all his millions, would not be as acceptable a credit risk to Portland merchants asUohn Smith, a 30.00-a-week

The mbney you have does the merchant no good unless you pay it to him. Your account on his books is practically worthless if you
let it drag for months and months. ' . .. ...
