PEACE OFFER
Lloyd George Makes Public Let
ter in Which He Invites Irish
Leader to Meet Him for Confab
Calls Him "Chosen Head of Great
Majority"; Would "Explore to
Utmost Possibilities of Peace"
By Ed L. Keen
1 United Press Staff Correspondent
London, June 25. The British
government tonight made the first
official peace overtures to Eamonn
de Valera, president of the Irish re-:-
public. ' . .- ' .
- Premier Lloyd George made public a
letter to De Valera. inviting: him to a
conference in London with Sir James
Craig, premier of the new Ulster par
liament, as the first step towards defi
nite settlement of the Irish question. -
Lloyd George's sensational peace prof
'.fer'was believed to be the culmination
xt lengthy subrosa interchanges, de
tails of which were never proposed ).o
meet the public. The fact that the pre-
- mier made his letter public was taken to
Indicate that De Valera already has
promised to accept the invitation.
The letter addressed'- Valera as "the
chosen leader of a great majority in
southern Ireland," and stated the par
pose of the conference was "to explore
to the utmost the possibility of - a settle
ment." - .
SIMILAR. LETTER TO CRAIG
A similar letter was .dispatched to
. Craig. i " '
The. greatest significance was at
tached to this move in semi-official
.quarters. It was pointed to as a not
unexpected' climax to a series of Im
' portant incidents in the last week.
King George, . in convoking the first
. home rule parliament in Belfast, pleaded
for 'peace and urged the Irish people to
"forgive and forget."
? Then .came, the arrest of De Valera,
under an assumed name. He is still
technically a fugitive from justice, as
the result of his sensational escape from
" prison, preceding his flight to America,

Morris ; Brings. Suit
Against Etheridge
On $15,000 Claim
Fred S. Morris, one of the founders of
the 'now defunct bond house of Morris
- Bros.. Inc., filed "suit in circuit court
late Saturday against his successor as
- head .'of the .firm, John L. Etheridge,
who he claims owes him J15.000 on two
promissory notes. . ' 1
Co-defendants in the suit are Stella M.
Etheridge,, wife of Etheridge; W. D.
Whitcomb, receiver of .the bond house,
and Earl C. Bronaugh, trustee. ,
Morris ar Etheridge were apparently
the best of friends until their firm got
Into financial . troubles. Morris now
claims that Etheridge borrowed 110,000
cash from him and never paid back a
cent. : All Morris has to show for it, he
says. Is a promissory note secured by
some real estate in wild Rose addition
The other $5000 for which - Morris is
suing is alleged to be due as a balance
on certain real estate sold to Etheridge.
Notes were given in both cases, ac
cording: to Morris' complaint, and these
are backed by a mortgage on property
held in Etheridge's name.
Whitcomb . and Bronaugh are named
as defendants because as receiver and
- trustee of the bankrupt firm they may
claim some interested in the .mortgaged
property as assets.

; By A. Jj. Bradford
United Prcss Staff Correspondent.
Washington, June 25. The United
States is not pleased at i a prospect
of the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance. It was understood here
tonight. i
: The hope that has been held by high
officials of 1 the . government that the
United States be specifically exempted
from the terms of the alliance seems to
be i developing; toward opposition to a
renewal of the pact In any form.
How the attitude of the American
government toward the alliance will be
made known to the world, if it ever is,
is a matter of conjecture.
The study now being given by the
British and! Japanese governments to
the question of renewal, is of such deli
cate and confidential character that this
government iwould find it difficult to
make known Hs views J upon the Far
Eastern pact. -'i 4 jS&Mz'JiUyti-'&r.-
If the-United States remains silent, a
conclusion probably will be drawn that
this country) had no interest or concern
in the alliance. ' v - . '
This is just the sort of impression
that, this government does not want to
get abroad, it is stated iauthoritatively,
as high officials here feel that this coun
try is vitally concerned in the question
of renewal of the alliance.

Schedule Effective
July 1 Means New Deal
Portland, Vancouver and Points in 4200-Square Mile Zone South
of Snake River at Last to Get Just Recognition in Freight
Tariffs Along Line Long Urged by The Journal
By Marshall N. Dana - 1
The Columbia basin's emancipation day is July 1.
New rates ordered by the Interstate commerce commission in the Co
lumbia basin case become effective on that date. I
Portland. Vancouver and the 4200 square mile zone south of Snake
river get a new deal, with justice as the dealer. '
For the first time In Northwest history the water grade of the Columbia
river becomes a factor in rate making.
For the first time an .official differential exists between the mountain
haul to Puget Sound and the valley route to the Columbia's upper porta. ;
The rate goes up 5 per cent over the mountains, both way. ' -i
The rate: goes down S per cent along the .Columbia, both ways.
WHAT DllTEaElENTIAJj MEANS . . " - '
The sum is a 10 per cent preferential. It will be reflected in increased
amounts which the producers of 10,000,000 "to"15,000,DO bushels of wheat
receive annually for their Ixain. : ' " - , , -
It will be reflected in the( increased amounts received for livestock, wool
and other agricultural products. ' "
The; preferential will likewise be reflected in' the increased business
handled at the head of navigation on the Columbia. Grain receipts, -milling,
wholesaling, Industry,' distribution and transshipments will all feel the
stimulus. The valley railroads will be benefited. . ; -.
. AH this comes about directly through recognition of the water grade.
Its economies are translated from argument into benefit through the in
strumentality of the federal commerce commission.
i The department of public' works ' of
Washington has under date of June 21
issued . an order deferring for 90 days,
pending hearing before it, the effective
date of the interstate commerce com
mission's order in the Columbia basin
case, insofar as the order affects
Washington intrastate rates. As the
authority of the federal commission "has
been 4 established by law as superior - to
that of state commissions, it is not be
lieved that the order of the Washington
state' body will materially affect - the
situation and it is believed that the rail
roads will obey the Interstate commerce
commission. -
Back of the act is an even more funda
mental fact. An asset finally has been
capitalized, for the advancement of Its
owners. The Columbia river Is the prop

which the admiral greeted the official
