REED SENDS TELEGRAM
TO SENATOR SPENCER
Baker and General March
Both Testify to Need of
Military Establishment
KANSAS CITY. Mo., Ocf. 6.
Asserting that President Wilson
bad made a statement at the
rence conference promising Ru
mania and Serbia American mili
tary assistance under the pro1
posed league of nations covenant.
United States Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri, Democrat, late
today sent a telegram to Senator
Selden P. Spencer, his Republican
colleague, declaring that the state
ment was a matter of record and
suggesting that the president pro
duce the stenographic reports of
the peace conference showing
'Must vhot waa cold , " SfimtAr
Reed's telegram was in response
to one from Senator Spencer ask
ing information on the subject.
Senator Reed's- message declared
the 'statement was- made by the
president in an address before
the peace conference 'May 31,
1919, "but did not get liy the
censer" iuntii December Z. 1-919.
when it was brought to this coun
try by a newspaper correspondent
and published in the , Washington
Post of that date.
Speech-' Appears In Record.
4 "Thef speech ' also appeared In
full In the congressional record
ot December i. 1919." the tele
gram continued, adding that It
also was copyrighted by a news
paper syndicate and given wide
circulation throughout the coun
try. "On several -occasions ' I chal
lenged the attention of the senate
to this speech," the telegram said.
"My speeches by scores of thou
sands were circulated -throughout
the country. Numerous publicists
and- speakers -have repeatedly re
ferred to and commented upon
this declaration. Its authenticity
was never disputed in the senate
or elsewhere .to my knowledge
until: Mr- Tumulty recently de
nounced it as fal?e". The speech
bears upon its' face evidence of
its authenticity as H Is couched
in the well known phraseology of
the president. In view of these
facts a discerning public will not
be inclined to accept Mr.Tumul
tys'deniah There is one way this
dispute can be settled. Let the
president produce the stenograph
ic records of the peace conference
showing just what was said.
These . official reports have' been
studiously suppressed and kept
secret, although the senate for
eign i relations committee . asked
expressly for them. It was stated
by Clemenceau's-private secretary
that the reason the sessions were
held In secret was because the
president of the United States in
sisted upon it as against-Clemenceau's
own judgment. - "
Ianiing Cjiv-. Statement.
"That the latter statement ' Is
absolutely correct Is - shown by
the testimony of Secretary-Landing,
given before the fcfreign relations-
committee of the "senate
Aug. . 19T?.", " V '
Senator Reed also gave out a
statement saying:.
"What now do we understand?
That President Wilson now means
we are not j under obligations to
semi our armies to protect 'Ru
mania and other members of the
league against; attack?
"If so. What becomes of article
10 whidi he declares Is. the heart
of the covenant? v: "
Quaff! Is Immaterial.
- "After all." Senator Reed 'con
tinued, "thi controversy is im
material. Article 10 of the league
explicitly rrovldes that we tin
dertake to preserve r against ex
ternal aerressfon the-territorial
integrity and independence, of
other members ot the league.
That means we join- the league
therefore to defend Rumania-and
Serbia against attack and pre
serve their existing political Inde
pendence. That obligation may at
any time call upon' us to send our
armies and navies across the sea.
This is just what the president
in his speech is alleged to have
promised. The statements areas
alike as two eggs laid by the
same chicken

BRITAIN OPPOSE
TRADE SECRECY
Ambassador Declares Cards
of Both Nations Must be
Laid on Table
WASHIXGTOX. Oct. C Ade
quate world trade development by
Great Britain and the United
States requires that both nations
lay their cards on the table. Sir
Auckland Ceddes. British ambas
sador, declared tonight at a din
ner given by the chamber of com
merce " of the United States to
representatives of the British
chamber of commerce as guests
here of the American organiza
tion. The ambassador insisted that
there was greater desire in Great
Britain for close business co-operation
with America than has been
indicated by many American
writers. He had learned from
these writers, he said,, how "dia
bolically clever the British, more
especially the English, are. and
with what Machiavelian duplicity
the British push their trade."
"Economic -waste results wh"fi
each nation -regards the other's
commercial and financial activi
ties with suspicion, he said, add
ing: "I believe that It is imperative
that each country should play the
great game of world trade, so im
portant to us both, with its cards
upon .the table,-insofar as trade
Is ' snpported and developed by
national, that is. political action."
"Secrecy breeds suspicion, the
mother of hostility. I believe
that full reciprocity in frankness
is essential if we are to avoid
difficulties. I believe most strong
ly that in spite of possible local
diminutions of profit, co-operation
between our nations, will pay us
both best In the' long run."
The ambassador denied pub
lished reports' that the British
government had rc-sold to the
Gentian government a number of
warships with the object of hin
d'ering the development of the
American mercantile marine. "Ut
ter nonsense," he said, adding:
. "The British t parliament, un
der' the leadership of the gov
ernment, has made it illegal for
a period, of years to sell any ships
in British bands to Germany or to
Germans." : v ;
"The decay of property' is aid
ed not only by the collossal prices
of materials and wages slightest
repair work costs not under 100.-
000 rabies but also by the fact
that house porters ar? needed for
wood cutting. At present, houses
are looked after by beggars and
commfttees of communists. When
plumbing gc-ts out of order it re
mains unrepaired. Whll hons?s
become. filthy from top to bottom
and it becomes impossible td live
In them. These houses are then
barred and tennants move Into
oth"r houses which are 'neglected
in the same manner.
."There is no fuel, no hot water
or baths, janitor, doorkeeper or
servants for cleaning yards
streets,' buildings, or for the re
moval of garbage. The govern
ment appointed a special sanitary
commiseion With sweeping aitnor
ity But the commis.ion accom
plished nothing. The commission
is housed in a building wher- the
heating, plant is out of order and
the water system and toilets not
running.

That President Wilson has de
c.bjed to appoint a United State
shipping board under the mer
chant marine act effective last
June, was the information con
tained in a telegram received by
Senator C. L. McXary yesterday.
First r.tws of the contemplated se
lection cf the board was given
out by Mr. Tumulty, secretary to
the president ind was relayed to
Oregon throug Senator McXary's
Washington headquarters. The
board will be composed of seven
members. '. .
"Oregon should have represen
tation on the board" said Mr.
McXary. "and I hope that the,
claims of this state to that end
will be forcefully presented to
President Wilson and the secre
tary of commerce. I have again
appealed to the -president by tel
esrraph urging the selection or an
Oregon man for this important
"position. . , -
"Some time ago it was thought
the board would not be appointed
vntil congress re-assembled in De

president hastened the matter on
account of a desire to see the
merchant marine bill executed as
it wa intended by its authors.
Under the measure the Pacific
coast will have two representa
tives, and I think It may be con
ceded that California will have
representation.- The other mem

Senator Will Consider Vital
Issues Tomorrow at
Des Moines
CHICAGO. Oct. 6. Senator
Harding stopped over for four
hours in Chicago tonight on his
m 14 western speaking trip, but
spent the night quietly at a down
town hotel resting and talking
over campaign policies with party
leaders.
Althoughno speech and no for
mal reception were planned, the
candidate did not escape popular
attention A crowd at the railway
station cheered hira when he
emerged from his private car and
a not bar throng was gathered
about his hotel. During bis trip
fron Marion, he had been greeted
by cheering thrones at several
Obo and Indiana cities and made
short speeches at Lima, Ohio; De
catur. Huntington, - Crown Point
and Hammond. Ind.
Departing late tonight the sen
ator will make bis first prepared
speech of his trip at Des Moines
tomorrow morning. A pronounce
ment on the league of nations,
probably. embodying a reply to re
cent Democratic utterances will be
bis principal theme.
The league of nations, business
stability, an increased production
and election ot a Republican con
gress were among the many is
sues discussed by the nominee in
his rear platform speeches across
Ohio and Indiana. At nearly every
stop he referred to the preserva
tion ot American nationality and
reiterated his pledge that while he
was president no council of for
eign powers ever would send Am
erican soldiers to war.
At Lima and agaln'at Hammond
the senator declared he wanted to
maintain the present hiph stan
dard ot wages, but on condition
that production was kept at a high
efficiency. "
"I caution you." he said at
Lima, "that that could happen un
der the policies of a party which
believes in opening the doors of
America to foreign-made pro
ducts. If I am elected president ns
I erpect to be. I am going ti
stand for the policy that furnishes
American markets first for Am
