"By David Ijawrcnce i (Copjrricht, 10-1. by The Journal) Washington, June 4. President : Hardin? is encountering the full force of the tidal wave which rises out of a distressed economic situa tion and mistakenly demands that the government cure all business Ills and restore the profits of by-gone days. ; The president told friends today that, judging by the appeals for government aid,, many people imagined it possible for the executive and his administration by a wave of the hand to bring back nor mal conditions. ' t WILL WAT OTJT . ! . The president looks upon the economic situation as the inevitable result of re construction and readjustment follow ing the war. The cabinet at its Friday meeting discussed what the government could do, but unfortunately the govern ment cannot do much more than guide certain currents that may have an in fluence on the situation, i r. After all. it is the filing of the presi dent that the big industries will them selves find, the way' out. America, he thinks, will recover from the shock of the European war Just as she did from the Civil war. In a natural and orderly May. i - It is the agricultural situation, how ever, which causes concern, for while the big Industries can, in a sense, help them selves, the farmer needs to. be. financed and needs to have an export trade and at the same time must be protected in his home market. - t i Alt these' different ' desires are the basis for the s-called agricultural block in congress, composed of i members of both parties, mostly from the West and youth, who are able to put-through con- Coneliuisrl on Pass Two, Column Three) i- 10-Year-01d Boy's j , Hip Grushed TJnder l Automobile Truck -Unconscious". of danger, Renard Stasi, ) 0 years old, ran - backwards from his playfellows and fell under the wheels of a truck. , He was rushed to the coun ty hospital, where one hip was found to be badly crushed . and .other serious injuries were reported.. !

' T ' ' House Has New Proposal for Disarmament Gives President More Authority Than Borah Plan and Is a Substitutefor It. By Herbert W. Walker " " V Doited irw Staff Correspondent Washington, June 4. A' new dis armament proposal giving the presi dent wide and' unrestricted powers to effect reduction of fighting estab lishments fn ! the. manner deemed wisest, was reported by Republican leaders of, the house today. - It is a' substitute for the Borah dis armament amendments authorizing the president to call a conference of Great Britain and: Japan with the United 1 States to discuss a reduction of naval building programs. .Leaders say they believe the house will insist that this proposal be Included in . the naval bill in. preference to the Borah plan. : ' . m i It was indicated that the house plan more nearly t meets the wishes of the president, who, while expressing no ob jection to congress expressing Its opin ion of disarmament, believes it would be wiser to place no limitation upon the executive. s ,. . Chairman Porter of the house foreign affairs committee conferred with the president on . the 'disarmament question last i night. . :. .. .'. ., The house ' resolution. . unlike the nu merous disarmament proposals placed before congress, does not "authorize," "empower" or "direct" to take any speci fic steps toward disarmament. Instead, it is merely a notice to the world that congress believes i in disarmament' and approves the position taken by the pres ident. It provides an appropriation of $100,000 for the preliminary, expenses of a disarmament conference.

An appeal for support of the soldiers' bonus bill at the election next Tuesday is sounded by Governor Olcott in a statement Issued today. "Next Tuesday Oregon will be callqd upon to show; some degree of th appre ciation she awes the soldiers ;of the World war who upheld and maintained the traditions and ideals of the state," the statement reads. ; "It is inconceiv able that the measurei for soldiers' aid should fail. i While it is true, passage of the act possibly may entail a little sacrifice, such sacrifice will be nothing as weighed against those sacrifices made by the thousands of our young men who unhesitatingly responded to the call to arms. "Throughout i the state members of legion posts are voting to a man to ac cept the "loan feature, of the proposed act. This indicates that our soldiers as private citizens wish to build for them selves and in so doing build for the .'-ite and their and our posterity, "No possible investment could be found so sound as the investment the state will make in its ex-service men next Tuesday.

Pueblo, the county seat of Pueblo county, 118 miles south of Denver, is the second city in size In Colorado. The 1920 census credited the city with a population of 42,903. It Is an important railway center, is one of the j largest manufacturing: cities of the Rocky mountain district, and has often been called the "Plttsburgr of the West," . , Located in the city are more than 100 manufacturing plants, representing ap proximately 30 different lines of indus trial' activity. 'The steel mills and as sociated manufacturing industries of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company are lo cated there and employ more than 6000 men. It is an important packing center, contains the largest brick and tile works west of the Mississippi river and the largest tent ; and awning . plant in ' the West, It is also an important wholesale and Jobbing center and has a population today upwards of 56,000 people. Although it has an elevation of 4665 feet ' above sea level. Pueblo lies in a large basin at the east of the foothills of the Rockies and directly at the conflu ence of the Arkansas and Fountain riv ers. ' v . The city's business section is only a few feet above the Arkansas river with the stream at a normal stage and danger from the floods has long threatened life and property, although, protection is af forded by levees.. The city had its beginning when Jacob Fowler, ! with a party of explorers, built a log cabin In- 1822 near where the city now stands and which for many years was the headquarters of fur traders and trappers. The first permanent settle ment was made in 1859, on , the east side of Fountain creek, and named Fountain City, Two or' three: years later a rival town was laid out on the north bank of the Arkansas - river and named Pueblo. The population of the two places grew steadily and the two settlements were consolidated in-1887. . .The city occupies an area of 11 square miles and the as sessed valuation of its real property Is $32,000,000.

Warning was sent to residents of the lowlands to flee, but few left their homes. ,' ' Dawft found houses surrounded by from eight to 10 feet of water", and escape was cut off. V Fragile frame buildings crumbled and went down in the flooJ. Hundreds saved themselves by clinging to wreckage until car--ried by the current to places of safety.
