I ttpilia ts the main reason of the Z many expression or opinion .fter to the effect that th sending - United States representative to the reparations commission Is un avoidable as a step in the reconstruc tion of Europe and the earlier pay ment of the war debt to America," Is .a statement In a Washington dls- jaxcn. The dispatch states that the step seems necessary.! 'order to teach the French goverthrkflt that it cannot be allowed to handle the German repa rations alone. " rremler Polncare of France has declared that French delegates will aot attend the Genoa conference un fless It Is agreed beforehand that German reparations will not be dU ined. The purpose In sending an American representative Instead of an American "observer" to the repa jratlons commlsslAn Is to throw the .moral Influence as well as the vote Jof the United States In favor of a reasonable policy toward German reparations. The plan la sound. German repa rations are the most disturbing economic and political Issue in Eu jrope. They directly affect the Ques tion of business recovery In the 'United States. t 4t Germany is sentenced to perpet jtial bankruptcy an important buyer Jf American products is lost If France seee fit to maintain aa army .hat absorbs most of her revenues M4 enormously lowers her baying power she can neither buy American ,eod nor pay the debt she owes this country. The poverty of both dl .reclly affects all Europe and Imme idiately lessens the demand for American goods, which in turn means less demand and lower prices jfot American farm products, less sale J abroad of American manufactured ,gooda and an increased army of un employed in this country. ! Almost every passing economic Ind political event proves the wis Jdora pt the plans adopted at Ver saOlee, The reparations provisions . tvere made elastic under the author ltyr. of the reparations . commission. Except France and Belrlum. n h- naUona now agree that the payments lu upon uertruuiy were too ae , T,r n need modificationr and power to do this was lodged by the .Versailles treaty in the commission.

When the document is signed there will hare been completed a deal tin precedented In the history .T of the United States. f I Muscle Shoals, in the extreme northwestern corner of Alabama, is a 30-mile stretch jof rapids in the Tennessee river abolt 270 miles from Its mouth at Paducah. Ky., and an equal distance from the river's source in the mountains of Tennes see, Virginia and Jforth Carolina. At certain times in the year it con stitutes one of the largest -potential water powers In' America. . . ' Muscle Shoals has been, a .center of interest in the South since long before the Civil war. To .impound the water power has been a dream of the region for generations. ' The spot is immediately adjacent to the Alabama mineral . belt, and Birmingham, with the coking, coaj and iron deposits which have made it industrially famous,' is less than 100 miles away. These great natural advantages won the decision over all other points when, shortly before we entered the World war, the allies were calling loudly unnn Am,-t for a larger supply of the explosives upon which the decision in the con flict might turn. Two huge Droiects taken simultaneously the building qi aajns ana installation of power houses to ?70.000 horsepower, and the erection and operation at the earliest possible date of plants for obtaining nitrr gen by fixation from the air in suf ficient amounts to relieve the ex plosive crisis faced bv this and the allies. Directed by government engineers, i $18,300,000 was spent bv the ernment on the Wilson dam, when tne armistice stopped further work. 10 complete the dam and install the power plants at that site would nave cost in all 348,300,000. To erect dam No. 3 and install th power house would have cost be tween 324,000,000 and $28,000,000, but the work at that point was never begun. The collateral nitrate nrnwt by which it was proposed to pro duce more than one, eighth of all the nitrates explosives needed by the auies ana America for use in the war. was fully completed, and on test run at one fifth capacity turned v"" oaten or rmiEhed ex plosives material just two days be fore the armistice was signed. It was immediately closed -down, but in order to keep It In condition t start production at any time $100,000 nas oeen spent annually on Its up keep. Its actual cost to the govern ment was $69,000,000. In these and less important de velopments at Muscle Shoals, the government spent in aU $102,300,000. If the whole project had been com pleted as planned the total expendi ture would have been between $159,300,000 and $163,300,000. The perpetual use and control, and in the case of the nitrate project, the actual ownership, of the proper ties above described, are involved in the contract prepared by Ford ex pert and the judge advocate gen eral's office in the war department and sent to Mr. Ford to sign.

Among them were money to pay the rent and credit to buy groceries: As he shuffled his feet dejectedly he noted that doing so had a tend ency to sandpaper the perilously thin soles of his shoes. Then his thought traveled swiftly from his foot gear to the fate-fearing expression on his face. "If my face commands no more respect from others than my shoes from myself it's no wonder I'm on my uppers literally and figuratively." was his comment. He started to smile. He com municated the smile as nearly as could be to the . poverty-betraying shoes by rubbing them Into the semblance of a shine. He found in the smile a sort of propulsive quality.

Park Branch. Portland, Jan. 20. To the Editor of The Journal Our University . Park library controversy has aroused much interest throughout the city, particularly as to the methods and organization of the library board. The principles in volved are vitally interesting to the taxpayers, who support library systems. "Can it be," many people are asking,' "that this board is self -perpetuating, electing its own members and exercising autocratic powers? If so, is not such an organization undemocratic and un American?" The possession of large powers by public service organisations argues for commensurate discretion and fairness in their exercise. Has the library board measured up to Such reasonable expecta tions in the . handling of .the University Park branch library situation? - X main tain that the contrary is the case. In theirst place, its representatives busied themselves with disciplining the Ports mouth district, giving it a black eye by stressing the alleged unsanitary char actor of the building In which the branch library was, located and refusing- to en tertain any proposals for remedying the alleged defects by people in ' the com munity. Later, after a few days' notice, the library was dosed and -the books were shipped out At the district.

Bice. anaa-aanaaaaeaaa - CONCERNING TRUCK LICENSES Criticism of Recent Enactment on the : Score of Ambiguity. Portland. Jan. 17. To the Editor of The Journal In section 25 of the recent roads and highways act passed by the legislature, there is a clause providing that motor trucks engaged in the busi ness of transporting freight or any arti cle of commerce for hire and not oper ating exclusively within the limits of an incorporated city or town shall pay in addition to the regular license fee a tax of 60 cents per inch for each inch ot rubber on the truck. Whether or not this clause applies to sand and gravel trucks ia a Question which apparently is puzzling the authorities. As a result many owners of motor trucks operating as contractors only are paying the addi tional license tax and are submitting to being placed' under the public service commission because there apparently is nobody who can tell them whether they are common carriers or not. within the meaning of the act Furthermore, a pri vate operator of motor trucks running exclusively in Portland and hauling hog fuel was recently compelled to pay extra per truck before his license was issued because he was considered to be a common carrier, although he did operate within the limits of an incor porated town. How much longer must the owners of trucks and the taxpayers remain in confusion, and how long will it be before comprehensive and Intelli gent legislation will be exercised over the highways and trucks operating thereon? H. H. Harwood. IN PLAC10 OF THE FAIR Writer Advises Money Be Spent on Water Power for Cheap "Juice." Portland. Jan. 18. To the Editor of The Journal Oregon people have boasted loudly of Oregon's many natural water power sites and the benefits to be derived, and its advantages over many other states in this particular. But have they much to crow over? They have the splendid water power sites, but are paying more for electricity than many of the users in the mid west cities. For instance, there is Lin coln, Neb., with its municipal light plant Lincoln is a city ot less than 40,000 population, and while it generates its power with Bteam and pays a high freight rate on coal, the average small consumer of Lincoln pays 42 per cent less than the average small consumer of Portland. And the Lincoln plant is showing a profit for the, city. If the great natural resources of Ore gon are to pass into the control of powerful organisations that charge the people every cent that is possible, what's the use of bragging about what we have? ' - ... As the people of the interior of thta l Butte ooBi appreciate our etrorts for a state exposition, why not build a monster power, plant with the money that the exposition would cost and sell light, power and fuel at cost to the Portland people. Then a little adver tising would bring factories as surely as the water grade haul has brought the products of the interior to Portland markets. James W. Boyd.

Curious Bits of Information Gleaned From Curious Places Many of the natives in the north of Korea have never seen a white man. A bulletin of the National Geographic society says they are living among the hills today much as did their ancestors centuries ago, worshipping mythical gods In the rocks snd trees on every moun tain top. keeping their women in semi slavery, and dying in ignorance of the world beyond their narrow confines. Aft er the Russo-Japanese war of 1904 the country was opened to foreigners and the exploration of the northern part pro gressed by leaps and bounds, until the only extensive unknown area lay along the north central boundary, between the Tumen and Talu rivers. The old walls of the ancient city of Mussan bear five centuries of history. Few white men have wandered inland to the gates of this city, and except for a few strag glers it lies unknown to the Western world. The great central palace, or re ception hall, remains Intact, and close by, in partial ruins, is the temple guest house. Ignorant Koreans believe the blood of a deer or any wild ninni t drunk when warm, to be a splendid tonic. Tigers' claws, whiskers, bones and teeth are especially valuable, and prepa rations made from these materials were often given to soldiers before a battle or any especially hazardous enterprise, since they were believed to induce great bravery.
