SATURDAY. MARCH 23, 1321. THE OREGON DAILY. JOURNAL. PORTLAND. OREGON LANSING'S TREATY BOOK GETS 'RISE' FROM V. BULLITT By Robert J. Bender , United News Staff Correspondent Washington, March 26,- Former Secretary . of State Lansing In his book, a "personal naratlve' of the peace negotiations, declared, 'in the circumstances it U far too much to expect to escape criticism." . Hence, he probably was not surprised when lie opened his mail Friday and found a letter from WlllUm C Bullitt, who was attached to the American peace commission, who resigned because he opposed the treaty provisions as drafted and whose idisclosures before the senate foreign relations committee anent Lan sing's attitude toward the treaty are made the subject of a full chapter In the LAnsing book. CHARGES WITHHOLDING 'Bullitt declares that Lansing, In cor recting Bullitt's version of Lansing's at ,titude, enunciated what was "clearly an evasion" and the "argument based on it in his book had "no foundation in the facts established by the contemporary evidence." 1 . In addition to this report to Lansing's. declaration that Bullitt, "possibly unin tentionally, by omitting the context, en tirely changed the meaning" of Lansing's expressed attitude toward the treaty, also assails the former secretary of state for withholding his information while at the same time pleading the cause - of "open diplomacy." "In eplte 'of your realization of the criticisms which must follow," Bullitt writes, "you have at last laid bare your personal relations with your superior officer and all your knowledge of the peace negotiations. .When I was sum moned to appear before the foreign rela tions committee of the senate, I fol lowed the same course, with the same realization, of the consequences to me. The real difference between us is this you now publicly urge that the Amer ican . people were and are entitled to know the truth. ... - "You have taken them into your con fidence after they have given judgment - upon the treaty, when, it is tco late for the facts you reveal to help them.' I ' acted when the issue was still doubtful and it Beemed certain that the treaty would be passed. Your present crit icism seems to spring from the single difference that 'I spoke to representa tives of the American people at an hour 'when the American people needed facts and were seeking facts upon which, to base their decision on the treaty." . It is Wilson's attitude, as reported by Lansing on the subject of "open cov enants tpenly arrived at" one of his .14 points that has perhaps aroused the most discussion In Washington. It is stated by some that Lansing revealed the "surprising situation" that Wilson was a party to the procedure employed at Parts regarding the' method of draft ing the treaty by the so-called "big four."- Lansing has "revealed," they t-ay. - that the president did not fight against this. i . WILSON CARRIED OCT IDEA ' Which Is tonly one instance of how little Lansing was In the president's confidence. - before - the treaty ' negotia tions began. - Wilson's original idea at least tt was his idea when he started, for Paris of "Open covenants openly arrived at," was exactly the procedure which ultimately was put into effect at Paris. In con versation on board the George Washings ton, en route to Brest, Wilson told the writer of his exact interpretation of the "open covenants" provision In his four teen points. "I know, of course, he said In sub stance, "that' it would be futile to have all the provisions of the treaty discussed and debated in the open. Every repre sentative would waste hours of time playing to the gallery. A situation would arise which would be analagous to de bates in our congress. "My idea Is that one representative Know Your Money " Long? ' . - . - , ' "- " ' j - - , . Some people have only a spending acquaint ance with their money.

Italy should meet, much as the senate or house committee - meets, and frame the provisions of the treaty, reporting out their findings into a full session of those delegates to the peace conference. Just as the house and senate committees re port measures to the full memberships of the lower and, upper -branches of con gress. . I "Obviously it would not be possible to give out information on all of the dis cussions of this committee on such meas ures or for the senate foreign relations committee to make fully public all of its discussions of: a delicate International problem pending some final decision." Whether or not this was an advisable procedure or whether, or not It consti tuted the carrying out of the principle of "open covenants openly arrived at" may well be a debatable question. Neverthe less this waa Wilson's Interpretation of that clause.. It is perhaps unfortunate he did not clarity .his interpretation publicly at the. time., i v 'WIFE WAS DEAD IS . "I thought she waa dead," J. M. Conner told deputy sheriffs 'who ar rested him Friday ,. night and told him the district attorney's office charged him : with bigamy. How ever, May Conner, his real wife, is still living at 601 Roselawn avenue, where he left her. Conner is alleged to have married Tina Merrick at Vancouver, Wash., Janu ary 8, 1920, Klder A. D.

Griff th,. president of the Portland Hallway, Light & Power company of Portland, Or., representing the com mittee of the National Gas Light as sociation, made the principal argu ment Friday at the hearing of the federal water 'power commission in support of the request that this com mission's regulatipns be revived and made 'more attractive to . investing capital. , Griffith especially urged non-interfer ence by federal authority over the regu lation of rates and service by state utility commissions. Existing regula tions,, he asserted, conflict with statj regulation, particularly as to determin ing depreciation reserves and establish ment of systems of accounts. 1 OTHER CKITICISMS CITED . He submitted several other criticisms of federal regulations, which : were adopted February 28, just before the cabinet, officers comprising the federal commission retired from office. ' Big utility and investment banking interests declare these regulations will prevent development of any new . projects , and they hope to obtain substantial modifi cations under the new administration. Secretary of War Weeks and Secre tary . of Agriculture - Wallace heard the protests today, the third member of the commission, Secretary of Interior Fall, being detained by illness. ; OTHEE ATTACKS MADE C. "M. Clark of Philadelphia, speaking as an investment . banker, said money for power development today costs 10 per cent, and that no development Is possible , under existing regulations ex cept extensions by existing companies. Hugh L Cooper, eminent utility en gineer, declared himself heartily in ac cord with Griffith's proposals. Henry J. Pierce of Tacoma appealed for less . governmental regulation : and said the project at Priest Kapids must wait until more- favorable official action is taken. W. L. Ransom, representing the Amer ican Gas association, made a sweeping attack on ' federal regulations, ' going much further" than Griffith's proposals. OLD EFFORT REVIVED . Senator Lenroot, who was a spectator, said after the hearing that Ransom's attack was a revival of the old effort to break down any governmental super vision over . waterpower resources. ' Ouy W. Talbot, manager Portland Gas company, was present at the hearing. Secretary Weeks said the commission will submit Griffith's suggestions to O. C. Merrill, its executive secretary, and after receiving Merrill's written, objec tions will formulate a decision which he hopes will be satisfactory to all. It is understood that 'Merrill is the espe claf champion of the present regulations so recently r adopted by ex-Secretaries Baker, Paine. and Meredith.

' EARLY RETURN OF GE TY IS IN PROSPECT By David Lawrence (Copjrticlit, 1921, bj The Journal) 'Washington, March 26.- -The early return to their rightful owners of vast amounts of German property held in th United States appears to be in prospect. Congressional action is necessary be fore the transfer can be made, but the trend of opinion in the Harding admin istration is toward giving back what was seized as a war measure. . '' Meanwhile the policy of the new alien property custodian. Colonel Thomas W. Miller, as explained to the writer - to day, is to se'tle up as quickly as pos sible all questions for which authority Is vested in him under existing laws. SOME E5EMI COMPANIES There are some enemy insurance 'com panies. he said, which will - probably have to be operated by us for some years to come, but - most of these com panies can be liquidated at once and the proceeds returned to the German own era It Is unlikely that they would wish to - Operate as German concerns again anyway. ' ' ' Colonel Miller waa drafted for the job of alien .property custodian by President Tlnrdinir twtcaiiK nf hfft r,markihln I verMit(v Bhilftv 11a wnn foia mlllfnrv rank overseas, having enlisted as a pri vate and working up to the staff of General Kuhn of the Seventy-ninth di vision. . , . -. ACTIVE IN LEGIOX ' President Harding felt that fn ap pointing Colonel Miller,' who has been active in the affairs of the American Legion, there could be no suspicion of German leanings in any of his decisions. Anybody who talks with Colonel Miller on the subject of enemy property, how ever, will find that he believes the time is ripe to give back to the German own ers the property that was taken from them. He is loath to criticise his pre decessors in . the alien property cus todian's office, but he has already In stituted some sweeping changes. The new alien property custodian has found, for instance, large ' lawyers' 'fees charged to the yearly proceeds of cer tain companies now held by American trustees and has made up his mind that all excessive charges shall be reduced whether Republican or Democratic law firms are involved. Colonel Miller be lieves that it 'is the American, spirit io e fair to individuals, even though they Germans. - ,: , MANY CASES SETTLED . . Already there has been many cases settled which had required prolonged litigation. . The policy of the new ad ministration is to spare litigation and bring about early settlements, so that business may proceed, for while many concerns are of enemy ownership they employ American citizens. : The revival of" trade and commerce depend to no small extent on the restoration of mil lions of dollars' worth of property to their lawful .owners. Of course, the transfer of all this property back to the Germans Is pre dicted on the assumption that the Ger man government will pay the claims lodged by American citizens who. lost relatives In the sinking of the Lusitania or who lost property in Germany dur ing the war. SETTLEMENT EXPECTED The expectation is that Germany will settle these claims, but if not, then it is planned to liquidate as - much of the assets of Germans in this country as possible and use the proceeds to pay American citizens who suffered at the hands of the Germans.7 One of the dif ficulties, however, from the German viewpoint is. that France and the allied powers have a prior claim on any money that Germany may have avail able to pay war claims and unless America- can 'reach an agreement ' with the associated powers on that point, the only way the United States government can avoid using the German assets in this country is to make a loan to Ger many out of which claims will be paid. DEPENDS ON NEGOTIATIONS This, however, will be developed defi nitely when the American government begins negotiating with Germany on the settlement of all questions growing out of the war, Congressional action will necessarily be delayed somewhat until foreign relations are cleaned up. Mean while, banking groups in New York are back of a plan whereby the assets of the Germans held In this country shall be used as a basis of credit for' the im mediate resumption of trade ,with Ger many when peace Is finally made. As suming that the Berlin ana Washing ton governments have reached a settle ment on war claims, the early . return may be expected of the German prop erty or the use or as mucn or tt as collateral as may be sanctioned by the German citizens In cooperation with tne German government. . ; Multnomah Farm; Bureau Members ; Attend Meeting An enthusiastic meeting of Multnomah County Farm bureau members was held Friday at Central Library haU fol lowing the sweep of the movement through agricultural sections of the United States.

It. Rust, local millionaire. He was cool and col lected throughout. He said young Rust 'didn't have nerve enough to own up and tell 'his dad the truth" about the affair. lie - said he confessed to the crime to shield the Rust boy.

Jury, believing all the time that Arthur Rust would finally come through and tell of his own voli tion, the true story behind the kidnap ing." -Van Amburgh said. The prosecution on cross-examination was unable to shake his testimony. , Defense testimony was confined yes terday afternoon to clearing up of minor details to' substantiate Its theory that young Rust aided in kidnaping himself.
