The premier proceeded to de scribe how Great Britain's im mense fleet was strained to the very last ship, new and old, in the gigantic operations for ro tecting Great Britain's own shores in the North sea, the north At lantic and the Mediterranean. "In the immense Pacific ocea'i and tbe southern Atlantic, Mr. Lloyd George tontlaued, "how were we-to guarantee a half mll mion colonial and a millian'Inr dian troops crossing thousands of miles of sea against the raider's? We could not have done it but for tbe fact that our , Japanese ally came to our aid. Colonials Admit Aid "The Australian and New Zea land premiers admitted it. They said 'we would not have sent our troops without that guarantee and at the beginning of tbe war we certainly would not have giv en the guarantee but for tne tact that the Japanese fleet came there to assist us in chasing the raid ers. "It was invaluable to us; it was one of the turning factors in the war. They loyally and raltn fully to the letter carried out their obligations, and carried -them out in the spirit. "Is it to be suggested that we how should turn arounu ar.d say to them 'thank you. You stood by us in trouble, but we don't need you .iny longer, so good bye?' Alliance Should Stand "When you are dealing with a country that stood well by you in trouble and it is suggested that you bring the alliance to an end when the trouble is over, I say that would not be becoming to the British empire. . "I .do not believe there is any country in the world, whether 15 must be, that we should act in a complete accord with The Lnited States as any1 two countries can. 1 In Accord With U. H. "I do not know of any coun try in' the world with whom it -la more ; important that we should act in concert than with America. But I do not see why it is impos sible to remember our obligations to Japan and at the same time preserve a- spirit of ' fraternity with the United States. v "That is one of the questions t still hope will be possible to have discussed upon. If the al liance with Japan could be merg ed into a greater understanding with Japan and the United states on all tbe problems of the Pacific, that "would be a great evcntra"nd It; would be a guarantee tor the peace of the world, j Ui likes the' Japanese alliance or not; that would think anything better of the British if we had broken off the alliance. They might appear glad for the moment, but in thutr hearts they would despise us -for doing 4t. - 1 "That does not mean that we are to continue "an 'alliance of this kind on any point against anyone else; and Ceitainly not against the United States.' - It is a cardinal principle of British policy, and it !-- Three Powers Named v 4The problems of today may be in the Atlantic. Yesterday they were in the German ocean. and they may paBS tomorrow into the' Pacific; and, when they do, the powers that are most greatly concerned in the, Pacific are Am erica, Japan and the British em pire." "And China." interjected a member ot the house. "Certain, and China," the pre mier added. "Those four great countries,' Mr. Lloyd George continued, "are primarily concerned with having a complete unaerstanaing wun re Kard to the Pacific. But the sur est way to make a success ct any disarmament plan, is first ot an to arrive at an understanding up nn the Pacific. I belieVe disarm ament would be much easier if you could get that clear under standing tint and I still am hope. f ul that this view will be taaen.

Kurtz, of the Produc ers Canning fc Packing company, pays that the plant on North Com mercial street is now receiving evergreen blackberries and that arrangements have been made to put up a pack of 600 tons. With the strong demand for. all canned fruits, Mr. Kurtz says that this big pack has been practically all sold. The company is also preparing to can fully 200 tons of pears, and these also have been contracted for. Prunes to the extent of 20, 000 bishels will be put up by the company. Although this was the firpt sea son for the Producers Canning & Packing company, Mr. Kurtz said, that it had canned 1,200.000 pounds of loganberries, all of which had been sold, and 190 tons of strawberries, also contracted for. There is a strong demand for all canned goods, Mr. Kurtz said, due largely to the loss of half the fruit crop In the east and the short pack being put up by almost all canneries on the coast. Uritleh empire in agreement upon the great principles on wntcU world policy ought to be based. That would Le-absolutely a guar antee of the world's peaca, and 1 am still hopeful that such an un derstanding as would establish a scheme of that kind will ensue as a result of the coming conference at Washington." Sir Donald Maclean, leader ot the liberals, who followed the premier, expressed great satisfac tion at the premier's announce ment and said hs hoped Mr. Lloyd George personally would be able to take part in the Washington confernce.tHe added that he was sure this was the wish of the country. COUSIN WANTS SUIT AGAINST COMPANY (Continued from page 1.) stratlons to the public together with motion pictures of some of th largest exchanges, lectures by telephone experts and a program of music as furtner entertain ment. "But everyone knows that a mo tion picture of the exchanges will show operators about three times as fast as It actually is," protesiea Mr. Newell. It will at least illustrate the working principles," said Hick man. When are ' you going out to Oswego " asked E. M. Cousin. "We'll be there before long," Hickman answered. Toll Differential DisciwwwNl Mr. Newell questioned Hickman about the difference in toll charges between Oswego ana Portland as compared wun tnose between Oak Grove and other outlying points and Portland. The charge is 10 cents from Oswego and 5 cents at other points. Hickman said he could not make a definite answer without some study, . out Denevea tne charge should be the same, either the Oswego charge reduced to & cents , or the others increased mentioning partcularly Oak Grove He believed the expense of reach ing Oswego was probably more because of heavier development. Major Babcock grilled Hick man with a long series of techni cal questions which could not be answered to the satisfaction of the major. Protest Voiced ; "Why doesn't he wait until one of our engineers goes on the stand, interposed Attorney Mc Nary with an objection. "I pre sume he is too wise for that and wants to pick on a commercial man Instead." "We'll take your witnesses as they come," said Attorney Tomlin SOP 1 ""You Will find the major is too wise to ak these questions ot an engineer, McNary said. Party line service and harmonic ringing devices were denounced by. Major E. P. Fullerton, general superintendent of plants for the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, yesterday afternoon Ten-party lines he characterized as good only as appetizers to get people into the telephone habit four-party lines, he held, would not give good service, and har monic devices, he declared the Pacific company relegated to a "one-horse museum of freaks that was destroyed in the San Fran cisco fire of 1906." Early History Told. The Pacific company. Major Fullerton said, established some 10-party lines in the early 90's as "appetizers" to give tbe people a taste of telephone service. Later he said the harmonic system was established, in Sacramento. "The company made the har monic a big talking point." Fuller ton said, "but it was like a circus poster, it didn't portray what went on in the big tent." Most of the complaints, he de clared, came from patrons using the harmonics. The last class of people to giro up the 10-party system. Major Fullerton said, was the wealthy class of Pasadena. He said that good service is absolute ly impossible with 10-party lines. Opposition Absolute. "Is there any field left in which an attempt to use the 10-party system is warranted?" asked At torney Shaw. "Absolutely no." replied the witness. "I look back on my ex perience with 10-party lines in Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland as a nightmare." Cleverly cross-examining. Major Babcock. asked-Fullerton if he in stalled any harmonic devices for the Pacific company. , 1 did, and" nearly- lost my s Job over it," Fullerton answered. , "I a couldn't make them work, and no 16 one else could. That was the only reason I kept my job." When Babcock mentioned im proved kinds of harmonics Fuller ton said that a "harmonic is a har monic, no matter how many doo flickers you fix it up with." Saboin Adventure Belated "Do you know," asked Bab cock, "what former President John I Sabln of the Pacific com Dany did when he was promoted to take charge of the Chicago sys tem. "I know what the Chicago sys tem did to him," replied Fuller ton. "Don't you know." asked Bab cock, " that he established the four-party system in Ch'cagoT' "His general superintendent did," answered Fullerton. ."But wasn't Sabin over the su perintendent?" Babcock pursued. "He thought he was." Fullerton said. "Don't you know," continued Babcock, "that 64 per cent of the Chicago service is now four-party service?" Fullerton denied that he was acquainted with this fact. Klenientary Question Asked At the end of the day's session Babcock asked Fullerton what ap peared to be an elementary hypo thetical question, of whicH the witness disclaimed knowledge. "Which would be the more ex pensive, a 1000-llne plant serving 2500 people or a 2500-line plant serving 2500 people " was the question. "Isn't it obvious that the latter would be the more ex pensive?" Tltf "I don't know," Fullerton side stepped. Conditions in the east exchange in Portland as related to the Ir- vington residense district were aired at the opening of Yester day's session, and the first per son to testify, at request of the public service commission, was J. P. Newell, expert engineer who is connected with the' commisison. City Council Blamed. In 1919 and early in 1920. Mr. Newell was a member of the Portland city planning commis sion. He confirmed. the testimony of C. E. Hickman, given yester day, that the city council had held' up a permit for the telephone com pany to construct an exchange building in the Irvington district until the people of that select dls trlct had decided what kind of a building they would like to have. An ordinary exchange building, it was agreed, would have appeared unsightly and would have cur tailed the value of property. At torney Shaw declared that the company had In the first place of fered to erect a building that would be in conformity with the general building scheme of Irvine- ton. It was claimed that the city had held back the permit many months, greatly retarding tele phonic efficiency. Mr. Newell averred that the Irvington people had a perfect right to demand a building that would conform to the surroundings architectually. ' Attorney H. M. Tomlinson chal lenged the testimony of Mr. Hick man relative to few DerixVtfs throwing out their telephones be cause of the increased rates. "Do you think that is a fair basis on which to justify increased rates?" asked Tomlinson. "Isn't that charging all the traffic will stand." Hickman emphatically ans wered in the negative. Tomlinson and Hickman en gaged i na spirited discussion as. to the effectiveness of two-party, four-partty or any other party lines as emergency telephones. Hickman's Faith Dim "Party lines are no good for emergency use," declared Hick man. "Every telephone main tained for emergency use should be an individual line. .People will not give up their lines to another even if one has an emergency call." "Your faith in humanity is dim mer than mine," said Tomlinson. "You haven't been in the tele phone business like I have," ans wered Hickman. "Of course," added Tomlinson, "you've got to be polite if yon want a person to give up his line for your emergency call. You can't say 'get off the line, you son of a gun'." ODD FELLOWS PROPERTY VALUE IS INCREASED (Continued from page 1.) of the property. On March 14, 1906. it sold to Henry H. Thielsen 4 2Vi feet off the south side of the lots on High street, and on this lot is the brick building oc cupied by the Salem Auto com pany. The consideration for the lot of 424 feet was $5000. Monuments Fixod. When the town was surveyed in 1861, surveyors in order to mark definitely certain moun ments to euide future surveyors, placed five land marks at the in tersections of the principal streets. These land marks consisted of two dressed rooks, one five by five inches and 10 inches long, and the other five by five inches. 2 4 inches Ions. The rocks were then placed, the larger over the other with a quart of charcoal between, and buried 36 inches under the level of the street. William H. Willson really spelled his name with two "l's" but the land office at Washing ton spelled it with one "1." To orrect this, an affidavit was made by J. K. Gill, who married the oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willson. in which he states that the right way to spell the family name was with the two "l.s". Surveyors laid the town of Salem off at a variation of 19 degrees and 3 0 seconds. Their Intention vas to make streets run parallel with the river. Ob.Wtion Again Made. Even in 1900 when the Odd Fellows talked of putting up the present buildinc it was suggested that possibly the location was too far out of town and that if they wanted a fine building it w.ould be better to keep in town and buy ihe Reed Opera house, on the location of the present McCornack building, occupied by the Miller Mercantile company. ,. Read The Classified Ads. ADVERTISE IS ADVICE GIVEN W. C. Squier Tells Realtors Association of Commun ity's Possibilities STATE MISREPRESENTED Tourists in California Told Oregon Lands Sell Ab normally High Salem realtors yesterday lis tened to a talk on advertising b- W. C. Squier, or 'ine Statesman. It was largely a discussion of such advertising as would be most ben eficial to real estate and commun ity upbuilding. "Los Angeles is the finest ex ample in America, of a commun ity advertising campaign," said the speaker, "i visited tnat place only a comparatively few years ago, when it had 20,000 people, sprawled in the midst of a desert that produced mostly wild mus tard, cactus. iackrahhits nmil ! horned toads. It was an incredi ble dream that the city could ever reach 100,000 population. There was no water, no shipping connec tions, no anything much but courage. But the real estate men started out to boost the climate, and by believing it themselves, they have literally brought the sea to their doors, they have brought the rivers almost 300 miles froni the mountains in a project many times greater for their resources than the Panama canal was for all America and they have the metropolis of the whole Pacific and are going stronger every day. They had to believe in themselves and back their faith with their words and their mpney. If we of Oregon would have more of the tame kind of optimism, we would have more of the same results." Realtors' Efforts Praised Mr. Squier spoke in high terms of the effort to raise the realtors work to a profession, with a high code of tehics and acombined op timism that would make them a real power for their communities. "But you haven't advertised your business and your personal ity enough to do the good you should do," he said. "Only a few days ago, I met two of the largest merchants in Salem, and we got to talking of a third business man who has been established here for almost 50 years. I said that I had asked him for some advertisine;, and he replied that he was so well known in this whole Willamette valley that everybody know him and that he sold bis wares cheaper than any other dealer in the val ley." " 'What is his name?' inquired one of these two prominent men. "I told the name. " 'Never heard of him,' de declared both men, in unison. 'There's no such firm in Salem I' Had to Show Them "And; I practically had to take them down to the place and show them the sign, before they'd be lieve. There are lots of things that you have to hammer into the public ear all the time for them to. remember or even to know in the first place. One of them is, this great advanced movement in standardizing and dignifying the realtors' business "It pays to put all one's cards on the table In any business that depends on continued public con fidence. The public really wants to know that you benefit it; that you are eliminating the unscrup ulous dealer, that you are bring ing people to the community, that you are serving them capably and helpfully. The speaker urged the listing and advertising of farms with full tinding directions in every adver tisement; 1 4 f, Mott Buyers Honest "Sometimes there will be men who take advantage of you in these sales. But there are 10 people who would go privately to see these farms, to one who will tome for a suspicious listnient: and most of them will settle hon estly with the dealer who adver tises like a gentleman. Hiding these essential facts in a clever ad and carrying out the general ida of distrust, recalls to every buyer (he immemorial tradition of shody dealers and your own suspicion will be your own undoing. Tell them where it is. how good it is, why it is offered for sale if it is an especial bargain, and you'll win out." The case of a Salem merchant who made a wonderful window display of goods that were not publicly priced was mentioned. He was told that many window gazers had admired his goods, but lew came in to ask the price. "Are you ashamed of your prices?" was asked of the mer chant. "You'd get 'em inside in stead of outside if you'd tell them the whole story." The merchant fought it out with his clerks, every one of whom opposed the price-ticket idea. But he tried it, and he re ported a splendidly improved irade in consequence. "Now every; article in his store is marked in open figures." said the speaker; "it pays to tell the people all they want- to know. SlM"ify, I Advi "Specific advertising of the ad vantages of what you have to sell, is the kind that pays the realtor as well as the merchant. Affida vits of yields, of sale prices, of production costs, are morsels of gold for the land advertiser. If John Jones makes a wonderful record in strawberries, or logan berries, or cows, tell these facts in your advertising for buyers and for immigrants. Every man be lieves he ran do as well as John Jones and you have the figures to prove that it has actually been done. That's, your proper selling basis. The speaker told spcclikally of. FRIDAY MORNING, pome of the things that tou'.d be used to advertise this immediate section. After the war 'which boosted so many big outride points the bubble burst and the popie be gan to fiock back to Salem to find that there were jobs and homes and steady progress here. These are facts to be advertised, he said. "When you make a" cood sale. ! or know of a good local record, a prize crop or a prize cow or any thing tell it to your newspapers. It's good news, and it means im- I migrant-getting stories to mail to outside prospects." i Ha) ford I'i-ros Faith President Hayford spoke brief ly on the general impression in California, as told by tourists from that state, that Oregon land are so high, in price, up to even above $1000 an acre, that it's al most impossible to buy them. He urged some public correction of this serious misapprehension. He sooke also of the supreme confi dence that every Californian has in his own state. "If we'd get that faith in Ore gon," he said, "we'd have them coming here in armies." It is not yet certain whether the local realtors will be represented at the Northwest Realty associa tion convention at Tacoma, next week, but A. C. Bohrnstedt, who wrote th Salem story adjudged the best in the competition for representing this locality at the Tacoma meeting, mayb go and present his paper there. The con vention has specifically asked for some. one to go from here to ex plain the multiple-listing plan adopted by the local realtors, as a model of its kind. dob run is Institutions of Learning Are Visited While in Califor nia Cities After tourir,g California and Nevada by auto, in which they drove 3.400 miles. Dr. Carl Gregg poney and family are again in Salem, and as Dr. Doney said, "Mighty glad to be home again." Their tour of four weeks took them through the Yosemite Na tional park over a mountain pass 9,951 feet high down through in to the Paso Robles country and on into Los Angeles. From the big city, they drove across the Mexican border just to see what Tla Juana was like. While others may have had htrouble in getting across the Mexican border, Dr. Doney says they just looked him over once and asked about firearms, then passed him through, while on his return to this country, the cus tom officers just asked him if he had bought anything, and didn't even search his car. After taking a look at Tia Ju ana, Dr. Doney decided that about all the undesirables in the world had gathered in the one town. Two hours across the harder was enough for the doctor and his party. "In California, things look rath er artificial," Dr. Doney said. "Where they have plenty of wa ter, there are beautiful orchards and we saw some wonderful or ange groved, especially around Los Angeles." . In southern California the party visited several institutions of fearning. N-) long drives were made, the longest in one day be ing ;u3 miles, in "he trip to Tia Juana and back, starting from Pasadena. Three da. were spent it Berkeley. Very little actual camping out was done and th'.s oniy w hen necessary, such as the few days in Yo'semite N-ition-tl tiark. The country is full of tourists, people are about 'he same every where, and nothing looks so lino as the Willamette valley, in-. I) ney said. Vacant Lots Are Sold In South Salem District . A number of vacant-lot sales are reported from South Salem, the sales in most cases being made to buyers who erpect to build this fall. There is still no over-supply of houses in Salem, and hardly a vacant house in the city that is even fairly desirable as a human habitation. Many old structures have had new roofs or other ne cessary improvements added to make them usable. The number of new houses beinz built at this time is not especially large, but the fall building campaign prom ises to be quite brisk. Rents have held up so well that new houses look like good investments for speculation. Sheridan Matrons Are Hostesses for Friends SHERIDAN. Ore.. Aug. 18.
