MONDAY, MARCH 21, 1S21. THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, OREGON VVA t nc IV 101 1 Ul OPENING OF FIGHT FOR U. S. BACKING By Lowell Vellctt ' CtuUd Nw BUff Correspondent "- "Washington, March 2i. The ar rival of Rene Vlvlanl within a -week or so in Washington may be the be ginning; of an openkstruggle between France and Great Britain for the -preferred friendship of th4 XinRed States. It would bring into the open at the eame time the serious conflict of French and British -interests. f . The "situation that has come 'about since the war is not', in the least to France's liking. ' The French- do not . like the fact that her interests continue to depend more or less on British Inter ests. There is constant efforts on ' the part of the French to shake their conti rental policy, loose from British policy, out , since tne -poller or each is lnex tricabiy bound up with the German set tlement this is not easy to achieve. - "WOUI, 8TAKD ALONE "We do not intend to be the house of Hapsburg to England's bouse of Hohen- zoiiern,ris tne way exasperated French politicians frequently express their de- ( termination to cut themselves free from the influence of British policies. France has not lost her dream of becoming in fact what she always has been in spirit. a first rate power. But the difficulties of realizing her dreams remain enor mous. Poverty stricken in consequence -of the war and ber hopes of dominion In Kat , Europe, particularly in' Russia. Again and again upset, she has had to' watch the seeming success of England in pulling profit out of the world catas trophe. The trade agreement with. Rus sia, just signed,' is a case In point, while the conflict between herself and Eng land over the terms with . Germany has grown in part of the realization -that in the back of the British mind there is more desire to shape terms that will per mit early resumption of commerce with tiermany. -v"-'- France has been negotiating j in the terms of the treaty in the- half-century-old fear,' while Britain has been -negotiating with plans of restoring he great middleman business.- ; DISARMAMENT APPROVED - France has hitherto been regarded as the greatest stumbling block toward dis armament on a big scale, but it can be said that she looks with real favor on the progress that, has been made toward mutual reductions by Britain , and the United States. Now that England is ap parently about ready to accept a pro- . gram that will leave her no longer the absolute misress of the seas, France is beginning to see some good in the idea. If. a - liberal gesture, indicating that France is willing to contract the size of her army noticably, will help to speed the reduction of England's sea forces, Viviani can be expected not to withhold the( gesture. France's idea of -power is the diplomatic idea. So long' as Eng land's representatives can sit at the "council table with the knowledge of 'all ' present behind them as an unchallenged sea power.- their voice In any settlements Is apt to be supreme. Once this suprem acy is gone. France will feel, easier. ' Events have' shaped around to the point where Viviani, whose recent con Terr Ion to the League.-of:, Nations bas not. been convincing to all statesmen in Eutope and this, country, comes to America as the aetual spokesman for the league. . 1KANCE MIGHT CUT LOOSE ' ; The league serves France's ' purpose in -the present emergency, but the inde pendent backing of the United States might, serve her purpose 'even better. . Viviani would be the ideal instrument through which to sacrifice the form of the league, in favor of the form of Hard ing's proposed association of nations. If In return for the sacrifice the desired American backing could be had. England will watch' events in connec tion with Viviani's visit with acute in terest. She expects to send a mission of her own to America reasonably soon, but there are Intimations from JLondon that this mission will await the result of Viviani's negotiations before setting sail. Equally it may be the case that the state department may await the - coming o the British visitors before committing itself in any way on ques tions raised by tne rencn. Having in ' mind the importance of the negotiations on this side of the water being' preciol tated by the two principal European powers, it is 'already the. disposition of the administration to delay action in congress on resolutions looking to the declaration of formal peace ..with Ger many. - - Bryan Is Optimistic ; After Porty Years i In .Political Arena - f. - 4 ... . ... .. :; - - W.'

K. S.)

HARDING CALLS A HALT ON SHIPPING : By Richard lie Unircraal Satvice Still Correspondent. ' "Waahington., March 21.- President Harding has1 called a hajt on the mad scramble' for places on the United States shipping board by letting it be known that those appointments would not be considered ' for ''some time to come" and that the candid ates, numbering . la the : hundreds, may as well go home. i; Since the day the president took office the candidates for shipping board places have overwhelmed him. and he has stopped it with the simple measure of laying those appointments aside "for the consideration of other matters," stated one of .the president's closest,, advisers here, today. THOUSANDS APPLY ' ' An Idea of the task of filling such positions has been . gained by some in formal : statistics - mtaich , the clerical forces have compiled on the " candidates for the position, showing , an : excess of 10,000 candidates'. - - ' ; l ' ' : Of course, nothing like that' number of applications has : ever gotten aefore the president. The total list- of. appli cants was narrowed down -to a list of a dozen eligibles which Is headed at the present time by Charles L.. Clifford of Chicago, a former business associate of Secretary of War Weeks, who is sup posed to be Secretary of the Treasury Mellon's choice. " . -' ; ;,; PEECT MLEAlf HAS I3TTEETIEW t One man, whose name has been linked with a shipping board place, ' got In to see the president Saturday. That was Percy McLean of Canton, Ohio, How ever, he denied 'v that shipping board places were discussed, a statement 'ac cepted ' generally because of the belief that Ohloana have about gone the limit on appointments received. . -. ; . Another of the president's visitors was W. N. Doak, president of the Brother hood of Railroad Trainmen, who was ence mentioned for secretary of labor. He stated - that he - had called in re sponse to a' pre-inaugural Invitation for a general conference on the railroad labor situation. - y- : i -: John M. Morehead, Republican na tional committeeman from North Caro lina, was the means of bringing forth the announcement that the president for some weeks yet will be unable to con sider invitations to functions, either - In er outside of Washington. . Mr. More head wanted him to make a trip to North Carolina for a local celebration. .."With the exception of one appear ance to be announced early this week, the president will not - consider invita tions of any kind for at least two or three weeks," was the White House announcement.
