TO DO
E
. TO LOWER
E
By Robert J. Bender
. 1 t'aiud Praa Btotf Correspondent
-L Washington, May 28. Time hon
ored prerogatives, vesting In the
J United States' senate the practice of
leadership In legislation -pertaining
to foreign ., affairs, are undergoing
rude handling by the house of con-
.'- gres. '-, ;
Somewhat ' to . the a ma xexaemnt ana
chagrin of the austere upper body of
soloes, ?t is the study of these leaders
of "senate proposals that has resulted
hi the ''corrective .attitude of the lower
t ranch. .
- The "first real development in this
- unique situation la about ready to be
put up to the senate. .: The house ef-
fair committee Friday completed - Its
majority. draft of the declaratory peace
resolution, 'which both "corrects' and
broadens in many ways the Knox reso
lution paused by the senate.
PROPOSAL BROADENED ? -
The second development is formed in
a decision by house leaders to correct
and broaden the senate's proposal for
a disarmament conference.
On the peace "resolution, instead of
repealing the declaration .of war as pro
vided in the Knox resolution, the house
draft merely states that the war is at
an end. House leaders pointed out-
and 'won President Harding's support
of : this change that a -: repeal ; of the
.'war declaration would be tantamount to
wiping out the record that this country
entered the struggle because Germany
waged an unjust war on us.
The house draft also changes the
Knox language by more adequately pro
viding safeguards about alien property
sequestered in this country. and about
rights accruing to the United States
under the Versailles treaty.- In these
changes, also, the best minds of the
house were supported by the executive
end of the avenue in preference to the
best minds, of the senate.
SENATE MUST ACCEPT
The house committee will meet to
report out Its resolution next Thursday,
and prompt action is promised. There
will follow then the necessity of the
'senate bowing to the judgment of the
. house . on to foremost piece of foreign
policy legislation for the first time in
.many years. ,
But. this isn't all ' House leaders
regard .the senate armament reduction
rider to the navy appropriation bill M
wholly Inadequate to meet the demands
vf the situation. House Leader Mondell
went to the White .House Friday and,
after a conference with the president,
declared that the house would initiate
an entirely different proposal on this
highly important foreign policy - matter.
Instead of limiting . th proposed dis
armament conference to Krance, Eng
land, Japan and the United States and
further limitihgjt to naval reductions,
as the measure was passed by the senate
after deep consideration of the senate
leaders, " the house measure will
authorise: -'
' That the president may call at his
convenience a conference of any or all
of the world powers to consider re
duction of 'armaments. .
That in such consideration, proposed
reductions would embrace sea. land and
air forces combined. It would, -appear,
from this that once again the house
leaders hsve proved more in" tune" both
' with public - sentiment and with the
-purpose of the president. And eventu
ally, it may well be predicted, the house
course on. this foreign policy will prevail
even as its course on the. peace resolu
tion will supersede that of the senate.
COSFEBEJSCE FAR AWAY
- It will require some time for the house
to formulate the general disarmament
resolution it has in mind. There is no
need for hurry because there is no in
ten Hop of the president to call such a
conclave. for some time.
His ideas on disarmament are .well
known, he looks forward to the, day
when he can take the step in the desired

GIRLS MISTREATED
BY AGENT
CHARGE
Following, the arrest of Harry H.
Holland, .manager of the United
Theatrical exchange, lit Chamber of
Commerce building, on A charge of
disorderly conduct, the police are in
vestigating charges that - the ex
change Is merely a cloak for Improp
er conduct and that girls are being
lured -Into the rooms in the hope of
obtaining legitimate work. . .- - '
, Advertisements appeared, in local pa
pers in which it was stated that girls
were, wanted for theatrical work,: "ex
perience , unnecessary.'- It 1 Claimed
that when : girls have answered these
advertisements they have been asked to
undress and t dance before Holland.
Young girls between the ages of 15
and II were particularly la demand. It
Is said. In fact, aa older girl had little
chance of getting work through the ex
change, 1t 1 claimed, whether she had
experience or not. - I
One girl who applied for work at the
office reported she was reused because
she was over 15. She says Holland
tried to make engagements with her
and when'ahe refused, he followed her
into the hall and pinched and slapped
her. Holland's arrest on a disorderly
conduct charge followed this Incident.
Another charge is that a girl who read
the advertisement In an Eastern Ore
gon town and came to Portland to
answer it, said improper proposals were
made to her and when she objected to
them, she was merely laughed at.
It Is also claimed -the exchange has
charged 95 fees for booking applicants
with a fake theatrical circuit. -
Inspectors Horaek and McCullock
made the arrest Friday and are contin
uing the investigation. 'Holland is said
to be associated with Al Cotton in the
management of the bureau. ' i .

ident TO PLAIT COMPBOMI8E
Mr. Mondell found the president ready
to proceed . with the disarmament plan.
and therefore the leaders of the two
houses will work out a compromise res
olution Which; will authorize the presi
dent to call a conference of the nations
of the world to .discuss the reduction of
land and sea armaments and will leave
it ? to Mr. Harding's discretion to say
what nations shall be Invited and when
the conference shall take placet . I
In other words, although it was not
deemed advisable at first even to pass
the Borah resolution, the passage of that
measure by the senate has hastened the
decision of the administration to tackle
the subject of disarmament aa a whole.
And it will be the purpose of the senate
and house leaders to draft a resolution
which will express the opinion of the
congress of the United States in such
emphatic terms as will assist psycholog
ically the entire disarmament movement
throughout the world. '
The president and Mr. Mondell talked
over the phraseology of the peace reso
lution which will be passed by the house
in a few days and Mr. ' Harding ex
pressed no objection to the Porter reso
lution which differs from the Knox pro
posal in that it eliminates the clause
repealing the original declaration of war.

seen by Republican members of the sen

The Borah disarmament conference
plan, in the opinion of these senators,

They assume, of course, that the
Borah proposal will be accepted by the
public as a rider to the navy bill, as it
has been by the senate, and that Presi

night caused his arrest. Turrell re
fused to commit himself until he had
conferred with Mrs. TurrelL who was
to" visit him, at the county jail early
today, and with attorneys. ,
Turreirs sudden affluence led to a
careful auditing of his accounts and his
arrest i Friday night on a charge of
emoecsiing $?osi or the firm's money.
J. Im. Louisson, assistant secretary, who
Signed the complaint issued by District
Attorney Evans, stated that he believed
the defalcation would amount to $1$,000
