ISOLATED ACTION

.London, AUg. 21. The element--of
uncertainty, now pervading Europe . as
,a reuU of tbe Inability of the; allies
to agree upon tbe German reparations
-- problem baa now reached thsi stare
-- where the situation is regarded as hold
. : ing extremely ominous potentialities.
It is compared . to the days preceding:
--- July. 1914, when the old world was fao
: ing the decision of peace or wsri .-
France's threatened Isolated laetion
against Germany, if carried oat Would.
- according to widely accepted belief in
England, provide the one disturbing
- factor needed to plunge the continent
Into hopeless ruin. !. V,
CA550T STAXD WAS ; -I .
: The Weekly Outlook- expressed- the
" - view entertained in many quarters, by
.saying: ! j ,
r "There is but one alternative! to a
European settlement through Which
- - debta and Indemnities are cancelled,
f-. armies reduced and the nations of the
- continent united in peaceful coopera
tion, and that alternative is werj
"European civilisation will not; and
cannot survive more wars, at least not
.until we have worked J wo or sthree
generations to repair the ravages of
the last one." j
: Premier Lloyd . George's consistent
refusal to compromise in the recent
"-London conference, thus forcing the
situation to a head, is i considered one
-, of the premier's boldest strokes, jit is
, predicted this decision will prove to
have been worth disking the termina
tion of the entente in order to avoid
(further British support of the French
in coercion of Germany. I
The decision also was based on the
. theory that if France intends to par
ticipate a continental crisis the sooner
- t ni pojicy is rrankiy revealed- and
v France learns the folly of attempting
to collect unprocurable reparations the
better it will be for all concerned.
British authorities felt last week that
Premier Po in care was proceeding iilong
. 4 mere cautious lines than mis-tit tut
pected from his previous attitude. iThis
encouraged the British to feel that
some second thoughts may have caused
.Pofncare to reconsider his uncom
promising: program.
SERIOUSNESS APPARENT
But the seriousness with which the
situation is viewed is apparent from
510 policy of delay Which is being
r tostered in the deliberations of the
.; . .reparations commission.
, The trip of the commissioners to
....... Berlin is understood to be a part of a
plan to mark time as long as possible
before rendering a decision as to grant-
; ang a moratorium however, leaves the
, reparation commissioners deadlocked.
Jhe English and Italians on one side
and. the Belgians and' French 'on the
other. dt would probably mean the
, withdrawal of the- French and dls--;
lution of the commission. According
o the British point of view, a mora
torium already exists, owing to the
. genuine inability of Germany to pay.
The question to the British mind con
- scauently revolves around the bigger
. Issue of whether France-will consider
the opinion of the rest iof Europe or
act in defiance of her former allies
treaty. "
, Lpon the question. British authorities
... contend, hinges the future of Europe
and the question must be decided
' within the next fortnight.

U. S. WILL CONTROL
ALASKA'S SALMON
PACKING
NDUSTRY
Uncle Sam intends tt stop in Alaska
the slaughter of theeCoose that lays
the golden egg.
So says Henry O'Malley. commis
sioner of the United States bureau of
fisheries, who arrived in Portland to
day. :
The government, in other words, will
create through presidential proclama
tion, based upon recommendation by
Secretary Hoover of the department of
commerce, a reservation covering the
red Mlmon packing region of Alaska.
Hoover has served notice that such
a reservation is to be made, said
O'Malley. The , proclamation will be
issued probably" this" falL It will thus
become effective next spring; establishing-
absolute federal control over a
salmon packing industry that averages
21000,000 cases a year.
ABEJl is extexsiye
The area to be comprehended by the
reservation includes Behring sea.
Cook's inlet and waters,, adjacent to
Kodiak and Foganak islands.
The Alaskan peninsula had previ
ously! been included in such a reserva
tion, but this is the largest yet desig
nated. '
The formation of the reservation
will constitute the. first big job tackled
by Commissioner O'Malley since his
appointment last May." ,- j
" O'Malley is a 'Western' man. He
has long been an outstsandlng figure
in federal conservation and propaga
tion In the Northwest. He went from
Seattle to Washington, D. C, to take
up his 'present duties. He is perhaps
the first Western man with intimate
and well grounded knowledge of West
ern fishery conditions to be made the
head of Uncle Sam's big fisheries
bureau.
TO BE8TBICT PACKERS
Within the reservation to be created
in Alaska each packer will be told how
many salmon he will be allowed to
pack during a season. The amount of
the pack will be governed by the esti
mate, of fish needed to ascend spawn
ing streams for reproduction.
It Is a plan that instead of meeting
the opposition of the San Francisco
and Portland packers will have, it is
said,: their cooperation, for they, too,
realise (hat the salmon packing 1 in
dustry of Alaska will decrease unless
the 'annual take Is. . restricted to such
extent as is necessary to full propaga
tion.. Commissioner O'Malley. in faeT, gives
to Frank M. Warren of the Portland-
Alaska Packing company and presi
dent of the port commission, the credit
for initiative and fund raising by which
conditions In the spawning streams
were investigated.
While On his Western swing. O M al
ley has conferred with Texas fishery
interests, the Southern California sar
dine packers, (he San Francisco salmon
packers, and he wiu meet the Portland
packers in simllarvonference.

liam Randolph Hearst is keeping the
political ; pot ; boiling In New York.' he
also - has 'Become, one .of " the major
issues of the primary campaign in Cal
ifornia.' where Senator Hiram 'Johnson
is seevfng' re nomination as the Repub
tit' rutlrlatB airainst Charles C.
Moore, one of bis former supporters.
The election will take place August
The campaign is : centering largely
around' Johnson himself, his alleged
affiliation with Hearst and bis oppo
sition to the international" policies of
the Harding administration. ; The
Moore forces - charge that "Johnson,
during his term as senator, accepted a
$10,000. fee from Hearst to defend
Hearst's press service in the supreme
court on charges of improperly appro
priating news. ''.'
Johnson; has admitted having repre
sented Hearst but refused to discuss
details.- ' V
SILEKT Olf CHARGE
Johnson Is also cbsrged with hsvlng
accepted a large fee. -said to have been
125,000, from, the Hearst-Hylan-TamT
many machine during the traction fight
in the New York city campaign last
year. Johnson has refused to discuss
charge.
, Johnson is receiving the support" of
tho Hearst papers in the state, which
have been among his bitterest enemies
In times past. Johnson's attacks on
Hearst In 1910 and 1914, are being
quoted against him.
Moore has ortere a reward of $500
to any one who can Induce Johnson to
Answer a list of questions he has
prepared: Among the questions are:
"How would you have voted on the
Newberry contest and the Each-Cummins
bill had you been in your seat In
the senate?"
"Will you support W. R Hearst for
the presidency In 1924?"
"If Hearst Is not a candidate will
you accept his support yourself if you
are a candidate?" ft
"Since you are sr Republican in
California and Hearst is a Democrat in
New York what consideration has ob
tained for you the enthusiastic backing
of the Hearst press in California?"
MOORE PROMISES HARMONY
Moore's platform, aside from the at
tacks on Johnson, is not of the spec
tacular variety.
He is'promising to support President
Harding and work in general harmony
with the administration and the "lib
eral" wing of the party. He is ad
vocating a "broad viewpoint" of inter
national questions by the United States
and giving' hearty support to the four
power pact and other arms cpnfer
nce treaties opposed by Johnson.
Moore is receiving the support of a
good majority of the former progres
sive party leaders who in the past have
been strong supporters of Johnson. The
situation is an anomalous one. Both
candidates claim to be "the progres
sive candidate." with the bulk of the
former bull moose organisation on
Moore's side; and with botb receiving a
portion of the "old guard" suport
Johnson, in the face of the un
expected crlppTmg of : his. famous ma
chine, is making a Strong fight. He
is pointing to his achievements in ob
taining high tariff for maov Caltfor
nlan products. .
"He haa strongly reiterated his stand
against "entangling alliances" of any
sort, and is maintaining bis right "as
a free citizen to disagree with the
president or any one else on a matter
or principle." 4
. His campaign slogan is that he Is
"in the same old fight with the same
old gang" that he "kicked" out" of
California politics, when he was elected
governor in 1910.
In his speeches he is dwelling largely
on his achievements as governor.
Moore is an engineer by profession
and a large ranch owner. - He was
president - of the Panama-Pacific In
ternational exposition in 1915. and has
been associated with many civic enter
prises throughout the state. He was
a league of nations Republican in 1920
and split with Johnston at that time.
CLOSE FIGHT EXPECTED
On the face of past returns Johnson
Is generally being conceded the vic
tory, but only by a close margin. He
received a plurality of 15,000 for re
election to the gevernehin in 1914. He
went to the senate in 1918 with over
100,000 majority in 'the same , election
which - defeated - Hughes by a few
thousand votes. In the 1920 contest
with Herbert ' Hoover for" convention
delegates he rolled up a majority ot
165,000. Evan - Johnson's followers ad
mit that he has passed the senlth of
his political-popularity .and thafa re
action against him has taken place.
Thy do not. however,, believ. that-the
reaction has gone far enough to defeat
him, pointing out that 85,000 votes
would have lo be changed to destroy

The Moore camp "Is certain that
Johnson's political end is in sight
and are predicting their candidates
will carry th state by. between 25,000
ana 50,000 votes.
Johnson is facing the hardest fight
of ms spectacular and atornrr career.
The odds favor him. but it is within

Conference of Reds
And Japanese Stirs
Official Germany
Special wuvTwaa 4o Tbs Joaraal asd Chleaca
(CoMTicbt. 1SS2) r
Berlin, Aug.- 2U Diplomatic circles
In Berlin are considerably worked up
over the fact that the Russian foreign
commissar. G. V. Tchltertn. has held
several conferences with the Japanese
ambassador to Germany, Ekl SlokU on
consecutive days. The first meeting
took place on the same day as tbe
publication in London and Berlin of a
statement issued by the Japanese for
eign office declaring that Jspan. like
the United States, would continue her
passive attitude toward soviet Russia.
It is believed here that the Japanese
ambassador acted on instructions from
Tokio, the authorities there being in
clined to negotiate with Moscow as
the result of Joffe's arrival in Peking
as Russia's special envoy to China.
It has just become known here that
nine army and navy instructors, all
former officers in the German service,
have gone to Russia to join the Red
forces. The majority of these of fl
cers aye artillerymen. The- inter-allied
military mission, learning of the
departure of the officers, protested to
the German government, declaiming
