Senator McNary Says Oregon
Conld Forego Appropriation
if Tax Possible
While congress was generous in
the amount appropriated to assist
in the development of Oregon, this
was no more than right for nearly
one-half of tba area of the state is
controlled by the government
which deprives the' state of any
revenue from I taxation. United
States Senator Charles L. McNary
said Tuesday, Senator MeNary
has just returned, from Washing
ton, D. Q.
"It the people of Oregon could
tax its largest ' land owner, the
federal government, in my opinion
they would be willing to forego
the aid they now; receive, which Is
tar less than the state and coun
ties would receive if the land was
under private ownership and, of
course, subject to the .burden of
taxation," Senator McNary stated.
Failure of the government to
proceed with the submarine base
at Tongue Point has not been fair
to Clatsop county. Senator Mc
Nary said. Continuous appeals to
the navy department will, eventu
ally, bring about the proposed
construction, he believes. Clatsop
county provided $100,000 for the
base with the understanding that
the government would spend in
excess of $1,000,000 on the de
velopment.
Vice President Dawes is given
credit for being sincere in his ef
forts to have the senate revise its
rules, but says that the senate has
what is being sought, namely, a
rule wbic,h ; does suppress debate
when -once invoked. There can be
no great issue created' out of bis
desire to modify the rules. Sena
tor McNary said.

WASHINGTON. June le.' (By

easiness over the security of for
eigners in China was manifest la
the summary of official advice
made public at the etate depart
ment today but no case of an at
tack on American citizens has yet
been reported requiring action by
the Washington authorities.
, On the contrary a report from
Charge Mayer at Peking that rep
resentatives of Chinese student
groups had requested American
assistance in seeing that Justice
was done in that case, inclined of
ficials to 1 Increased hopefulness
that the anti-foreign outbreak
would not develop into a move

lives. There was no word avail
able here to show the Chinese sit
uation had engaged the" attention
of the cabinet extensively at its
meeting today. It was said at the
department that no note to the
Chinese provisional government In
Peking was contemplated. In the
absence of direct word from cab
inet circles, however, a telegram
made public by Chairman Borah
of the senate foreign -relations
committee, declaring he favored
"withdrawal of extra territorial
rights in China as epeedily as prac
ticable" took on special signifi
cance. -
;The telegram which was a reply
to a -protest from an American cit
izen whose name the senator did
not disclose stated that, serious as
the situation in Cbin might be, it
did not arise from "acts or prom
ises of the United States," and
that he ea w no reason-why the
Washington government should be
drawn into controversies of other
powers or with the Chinese auth
orities or people.
Mr. Borah's attitude was regard

tion. . '
State department officials were
disinclined to comment on the sen
ator's views aa to-extra territor

It la recalled, however, that
Jacob Gould Schurman, in an ad
dress some months ago to an Am

China, drew critical rejoiners from
certain American groups in China
by urging that ICj should be pos

The chief difficulty about the
