BORAH WINS IN
ARMAMENT ISSUE
WITH PRESIDENT
. By David Lawrence
(Copyright, 131. by The Journal)
Washington, July 1. Senator
armament, stands out today as vic
tor in the first contest with the
Harding administration. Reluctant
for reasons never divulged, the ad
ministration at first frowned upon
Mr. Borah's efforts to nush the dis
armament question to the front, then
conceded the point and passed word
to -Republican senators that no ob
jection was entertained to their sup
port of the measure and f inally made
an effort through Republican Leader
Mondell of the house to get a broad
resolution passed which would cover
military as well as naval disarma
ment.
That last proposal of the administra
tion was finally abandoned In the house,
. and the Borah resolution came through
with flying colors.
TASGLE AVOIDED
The reasons that He back of 'the ad
ministration's change of policy have not
been on the surface at all. ant several
Republicans who watched the rising tide
of disarmament sentiment' In the house
have insisted that whatever the form
which the disarmament proposals may
take, the house could not afford to set
into a tangle on the question by voting
down the Borah idea of a three-power
corrference-Great Britain, Japan and
the United States.
j The truth is the Borah resolution
doesn't prevent the executive from sum
moning a conference of all the powers,
nor does -it inhibit Mr. Harding from in
cluding land armament as well.
YIELD TO BORAH
I The president has the right to nego
'tiate with foreign powers about any sub
; Ject under the sun, and no matter what
agreement he negotiated congress would
have the final say as to the stoppage of
r appropriations for naval or military ar
mament. The ..administration forces have not
.relished the Idea of being led by Sen
Pator Borah. In the past all important
policies sanctioned by an administration
have been initiated by the spokesman of
the administration in the house or sen
ate. In this case Senator Lodge took
, little part in the proceedings.
Republican Leader Mondell's efforts
to broaden the resolution were aban-
Borah.
Explanations given today vary. Some
said the desire of the executive was to
get congress busy on much more vital
matters of business than a mere ex
pression of opinion, which, after all. Is
what the Borah resolution does.
It doesn't accomplish disarmament. It
requests the president to confer with
other powers and discuss the matter.
I It's always a long way from discussion
to achievement in foreign affairs.
Nevertheless the forcing of the admln
': titration's hand on a problem so bis In
the public mind as disarmament has not
passed without significant comment on
' all sides to the effect that Republican"
leadership in congress is not making the
most of Republican opportunities.
optoRTtnnrr lost
The chance to grasp the disarmament
question andtmake it an administration
policy from the start was politically an
excellent one. Members of the house rec
ognized it by their refusal to sidetrack
the Borah measure for any new proposi
tion that might mean a delay in getting
a vote.
I Tram all sides President Harding has
been urged from the very beginning of
his administration to assume the leader
ship in disarmament throughout the
world. It has been pointed out that his
opportunity to rid the European ooufi-
, tries of the heaviest part of their;' tax
burden has been greater than vouch
safed any American president
, I The question has, indeed, been brought
closer home by the announcement of Sec
retary Mellon that the European coun
tries owe the United States more than
a billion dollars In interest since the war.
MEMBERS A P P H E HE" S I V E
The ability of Europe to pay that In
terest depends upon the amounts needed
for domestic appropriations on armies
and navies. If America could have re
ceived a billion dollars in interest, In
come taxes would have been correspond
ingly decreased in the United States be
cause there would have been just a bil
lion dollars less to raise from American
taxpayers.
The overwhelming votes for the Borah
resolutionain the senate and the house
are not altogether the expression of a
new sentimentalism about armament and
the prevention of wars. The votes are
really the exoressed apprehension of
members of congress that they will -not
be reelected unless they at least make
gestures In the direction of disarma
ment and government economy.
ISSUE IS POPULAR
The subject is now transferred to the
White House. The president has been
canvassing the other powers through the
supreme council on which . Ambassador
Harvey, great friend of Senator Borah,
Is the American representative. But the
Borah resolution will make necessary
something more than informal feelers.
The rSaho senator is not the kind who
wilk allow his resolution to be passed
and pigeon-holed. At the proper time
he will make pertinent inquiry as to
the progress being made in the negotia
tions. Mr. Borah has grasped a popular
issue and will tenaciously cling to it un
til something concrete is accomplished.
PASTOR AND GIRL
FROM SALEM ARE
TO FACE CHARGES
UNION HEADS AVOID
RAIL STRIKE TALK
Chicago, July 1. (I. N. S.) As, a
majority of the 1,500.000 railway
workers throughout the country re
ported for work today at reduced
wages, their, representatives, 1000
strong, were assembled in Chicago
for conferences regarding the 12 per
cent Wage slash that are relied upon
to keep the transportation wheels
turning.
The union leaders gathered here are
about as talkative as clams. In no
quarter is loud talk heard of "strike."
The general verdict of the delegates ap
pears to be :
"It's up to the men."
Railway officials do not appear to be
worried by prospects of a strike. They
pointed out today that the union lead
ers are cognizant of the industrial de
pression throughout the country and that
they would hesitate long before recom
mending any action that would swell
the ranks of jobless.
Salem, Or., July 1. The Rev. Fred
Royston of Salem, arrested at Kelso,
Wash., Thursday night, in company
with Miss Frankie Edwards, daugh
ter of a well known Salem family,
will be brought back to this ity to
day to face a charge of white
slaver, preferred against him by B.
F. Edwards, uncle of the girl.
Royston, who was graduated this year
from the Kimball College of Theology
with high honors, has a wife and 10-year-old
daughter living here. He is 33
years of age and the girl is 18.
BOTH LEPT SODAY
The two disappeared from their re
spective homes Sunday. Miss Edwards
is said to have left the home of her
grandmother that night about 9 o'clock.
ostensibly .to visit a friend. Rev. Mr.
Royston is said to have left his home at
about 5 o'clock for the Keyser bottom
country north of here, where for a year
he has held a student pastorate.
Relatives of both feared foul play
until the authorities, asked to aid In the
search, concluded that the two, who
were known to have been friendly for
some time, had left the city together.
Strength wasadded to this conclusion
when neighbors Informed B. F. Ed
wards, uncle of the girl, that she had
informed them that the Rev. Mr. Roy
ston had made efforts to persuade her
to leave the city.
NOTE IS PART CLEW
The first clew, as to the whereabouts
of the pair was contained in a note re
ceived from Miss Edwards by her
grandmother here Wednesday after
noon which read : "Don't worry ; I am
ail right and just as good a girl as when
I left Salem," signed "Frankie."
Mrs. Royston, wife of the pastor, re
fuses to believe that her husband is
guilty of any wrong.
"If Fred Is guilty," she insists, "his
mind has been unbalanced by a nervous
trouble that has been bothering him for
the past , year due to his studies"
Mrs M. E. Royston. mother of the
minister, is Just as firm in her convic
tion that the arrest Is the result of some
mistake
WIPE BLAMES GIRL
, T have raised nine children, three of
or whom nave occltcatea tneir uvea to
Christianity and this is the first time
that trouble of this nature has touched
our name." she declares
Both the wife and the mother of the
minister are inclined to blame the girl
for what they characterise as an at
tempt to break up the Royston home.
Relatives of the girl, charged in a
complaint signed by her uncle also with
having been a party to an immoral act,
are anxious to learn the story from the
lips of the girl herself before placing
the blame, but insist that justice shall
be done regardless of where it falls.
