SENATORS ARE TOLD
SOLDIERS
ARE MISTREATED
Washington, - July Utter col
lapse of the government system of
hospitalization for wounded and dis
abled soldiers was charged before
the special senate committee inves
tigating the activities of federal
agencies engaged in relief and wel
fare work among ex-service men.
The charge was made by Robert S.
Marx, judge of the superior court of
Cincinnati and national commander of
the Association of Disable American
Veterans of World war.
ALLEGES INCOMPETENCY
Incompetency and ; negligence of ad
ministrative officials were responsible,
he testified.
"The government, he told the com
mission, "has provided virtually nothing
for the treatment of wounded soldiers,
especially the tubercular and mental
cases. What has been provided has been
purely makeshifts and has accomplished
nothing."
In the course of his testimony Judge
Marx, alluding to the treatment received
by the veterans in government hospitals,
told the committee that in a great many
institutions the patients "every one who
was able to get Out of bed" were com
pelled to stand at attention and salute
when a surgeon of the public health
service passed through the ward. Most
of these surgeons, he explained, hold the
rank of an army major.
ILLUSTRATION POINTED OUT
As an illustration of the neglect in
the administration of the hospitalization.
Judge Marx pointed out that although
four months ago congress appropriated
$18,000,000 for; construction of new hos
pitals, today only the expenditure of
$8,000,000 had been authorized.
Investigations by the American Le
gion had repealed that insane veterans
were "farmed out" to state and county
institutions 'for $3 per day, Davis said.
In many cases, he testified, the veter
ans were housed with insane criminals
He accused; bureau chiefs in charge of
soldier relief with "camouflaging their
inefficiency; by accusing service men of
bad discipline."
"These men should be cleared out,"
Davis added.

It is true that the concentration of

baa been the result of a steady growth
of suspicions that the next naval war
would be fought in the Pacific. On the
other hand., it also Is a fact that, in
stead of allaying apprehensions in re
moving distrust, the transfer of the fleet
to the Pacific has been looked upon by
the Jspanese aa a move requiring fur
ther activity on their part and hasten
ing their naval building program.
Meanwhile. In the field of diplomacy
several other moves have been made
which have accentuated the fact that
until the special problems existing be
tween the United States and Japan are
solved, the friends of disarmament will
be hammering away at a stone walL
If anybody else in the administration
except Ambassador Harvey had drawn
attention to "perilous possibilities on the
Pacific'' the utterance would nave oeen

bassador Harvey has been entrusted with
the very task of canvassing the senti

ing disarmament, and his conclusion,
that apprehensions concerning the rela

pan must first be dispelled before there
can be disarmament is looked upon to
day as the frank answer and the Key to
the whole disarmament situation.
SENTIMENT AG AIN ST ALLIANCE
The statement by Baron Shidehara.
Japanese ambassador to United States,
to the effect that the proposed Anglo
Japanese alliance was not Intended as
hostile to the United States, is a recog
nition by Japan of the sentiment which
has been growing In the United States
against the renewal of the alliance.
The British government has found It
necessary to assure Canada and Aus
tralia that the Anglo-Japanese alliance
does not require the British empire to
assist Japan In the event of a war with
the United States Indeed, there is no
escaping the fact that both Great Brit
ain and the United States would have
no difficulty in coming to an agreement
on the reduction of armament expense
If their respective relations with Japan
could be placed upon a firm foundation
of true friendship. 1
The Japanese, however, are really
more eager to renew their alliance with
Great Britain than is apparent on the
surface, and the British are unable to
give a substantial reason for discontinu
ing It without offending the pride of
Japan.
LEAGUE MIGHT SOLTE PROBLEM
If it were not for the peculiar situa
tion that has arisen with respect to the
refusal of the United States govern
ment to enter the League of Nations,
the problem might easily have been
solved. The league itself does not rec
ognize alliances, unless they are stripped
of any offensive character and are plain
ly defensive.
But there is no nation In the present
league which has sufficient interest at
stake to question the propriety of the
Anglo-Japanese agreement or its scope
The United States government has not
been consulted either by Japan or by
Great Britain, and there is no diplo
matic way by which the , Washington
government may Interpose its viewpoint
except through the press. The Amer
ican government has certainly not seen
fit to encourage the Idea i of an Anglo
Japanese alliance, and has on one oc
casion shown its displeasure that Amer
ica was not being consulted.
There is a growing curiosity in Wash
ington to know why It is that. Japan
and Great Britain, both pledged by
article 10 of the League of Nations cove
nant to protect their respective terri
torial integrity as against external ag
gression, should need a defensive al
liance. WILSOIf SAW DIFFICULTY
Friends of President Wilson who
were at the peace conference say that
Wilson really sacrificed his rlews on
tl Shantung question hi order to make
sure of Japan's entrance In the League
of Nations, feeling that it was absolutely
essential to bring Japan within the Jur
isdiction of the league, so as to prevent
a possible clash between the United
States and Japan. It was Wilson s Idea
that by making the Far Eastern prob
lem a matter of common concern, there
would be less chance of a conflict be
tween any two nations over Japanese
questions.
Inasmuch as America Is net a member
of the League of Nations, the Washing
ton government must seek through the
avenues of diplomacy a way to Insure
peace on the Pacific Secretary Hughes
is bending all his efforts In that direc
tion. But it has now been officially dis
closed that disarmament will have to
wait until diplomacy has tried its hand.
DISARMAMENT SUPPORTERS
DEMANDING EARLY ACTION
Washington. July . (U. P.) Dis
armament supporters today demanded
final action on the Borah proposal au
thorizing President Harding to call a
conference of the United States. Great
Britain and Japan.
By a vote of 43 to 7 the senate this
afternoon adopted the report of the
senate and house conferees on the navy
appropriation bill, leaving the Borah dis
armament and other senate amendments
not Included In the report, but acted upon
separately by the house, open to further
action. The motion to agree to the con
ference report was made by Senator
Poindexter (Republican) of Washington,
chairman of the senate naval affairs
committee.
In adopting the report the senate in
structed 4ts conferees to consider the
disputed amendments further with the
house naval affairs committee.
Foreign statesmen are becoming more
and more open in their hints to the
United States that an Invitation to a dis
armament conference would be instantly
accepted.
Senator Borah has had several ex
tended conferences with Shiro Suyehlro
of Kyoto university, Japan. Suyehiro is
in the United States In the Interests of
the disarmament movement. He said to
day that the Japanese people, burdened
with taxes, would eagerly welcome the
discussion of naval reduction or any
thing else that would relieve them of
their taxes.

Boosting 1925 Fair
Callfomlans are beginning to show as
much interest in the plans for the 1925
exposition at Portland as they took in
their own exposition at San Francisco
in 1915. said John C. Smock, 10104 Sixty-
fifth avenue southeast, who returned
Tuesday from a two months' tour of
California and Northern Mexico.
Accompanied by his mother, Mrs Ella
Smock, the Portland man left here May
In a roadster. On the front of hla
automobile he carried a banner bearing j
the inscription "Portland 1925." Few
Callfornians knew of the exposition
plans of the Rose City and Smock said
he grew tired of telling the Californians
that if it took him four years to get to
Portland it would be because of the con
dition of the Northern California roads.
So the Portlander took a can of white
paint and daubed an, invitation to the
whole world to see over the hood and
sides of his car. In the limited space
hs had he told everything there was to
tell about Portland's plans to entertain
the world.
Smock said that it will soon be a real
pleasure to drive an automobile from
Portland to the Mexican line, and ex
pressed particular satisfaction over the
condition of the Pacific highway in Ore
gon, after traveling over the rough high
way jn .Northern California.
