BY BORAH; FLAYS EUROPE DEBT CANCELLATION WOULD NOT AH DEBTORS Speaker Says World Court Would not Be Ratified in the Senate Today NAMPA, Idaho, August 11. (By Associated Press.) In the light of the attitude of debtor na tions toward the United States and the debt cancellation and by vir tue of developments In the tunc tlon of the world court, the sen ate, if a vote was taken today. would reverse its decision and de cline to ratify the" world court. Senator William E. Borah told members of the Nampa Rotary club this noon. The senator in speaking ot in ternational relations growing out of international debts, .declared that the next SO years will mark the most , severe . economic war history has ever recorded and that "there is no reason for the United States to give up that which Is rightfully hers in favor of this coming economic conflict." The senator, discussing the at titude of England and France to ward the United States, the re ception of American tourists dur ing the last few months, and ad verse editorial ana news com ments of European newspapers and publications, declared that the recently published letter of Georges Clemenceau to President Coolidge "must have struck harshly on all American ears.' It is the wish and hope of the Amer ican people and the American gov ernment to continue' peace and harmony with the nations of the world," he continued, "but it is not the part of a dignified nation to remain silent when charges are made which we think are an founded." . "It is the heart of patriotism and the heart ot wisdom for Am erica to retain in her portfolio that which she rightfully owns Cancellation will not add one dol lar to the purchasing power ot France under the present policies there." Senator Borah, reviewing the fight on the league of nations as serted that as soon as the league fight was over, the league forces threw their strength behind the world court. He pointed out that we have been drawn into the league of nations in an indirect way, through entrance into the court which he described as Shy- locks and usurers "I am glad to say many ot the American people are modifying their position on the world court, he added. The court has the extra ordinary function of advising and counselling the league of nations. Thus the United States as a mem ber may be called upon for coun- sel in any political quarrel in Europe." ZOIRS ELECT NEW OFFICERS L. P. Campbell Named Presi dent, James Nicholson Vice-President WORK TO START AT ONCE 3Iayor Giesy Outlines Tasks, , W V'. RosebrauKh Replaces W. H. Dancjv Resigned; AVlll Meet Soon L.; P. Campbell was elected pres ident and James Nicholson vice- president at the first meteing of the newly appointed city zoning and planning commission last night. No other official business was accomplished as the members wish to wait until they get a def inite idea of the task before them Members will be given copies of the zoning ordinance and other pertinent material by Fred A. Wil liams, city attorney, so they can be ready to transact business at the next meeting. One member, C. E. Albin, was absent, and one other, W.. H Dancy, resigned because other bus iness prevented him from giving the needed time to the commis sion's duties. As his resignation left the commission without a city council member, Alderman W. W Rosebraugh was appointed to take his place. Mayor John B. Glesy, City At torney Williams, and Hugh M Rogers, city engineer, all ex officio members of the commission were present. . , . .... . ,, "I have feaFned that some mem bers of the last commission said their names were signed to the resignation without their author ity," said Mayor Giesy. "Not all of them were willing to resign, as they considered resigning as a body an action fit for school boys. not grown men." "I consider this a very import ant body. If it had existed sev eral years ago, we would not now be burdened with much of the grief before the city council. "The assistance we can get from the Portland commission will be invaluable. They have gone through the mill and can give in formation that will be of great help." The importance of the new com mission was also stressed by Mr. Rosebraugh, who told of city coun cil experience that convinced him much good could be accomplished. The selection of a secretary is also a matter of much importance. said Mr,- Rosebraugh. The com mission decided to postpone selee lion of one in order to consider the type of man most valuable. Mr. Campbell wishes to choose a man to act chiefly In a secretarial capa city, other than one with engtn eering experience, as Carl Snyder, secretary ot the last board, was, Fred A. Williams, city attorney, was appointed temporary secre tary for the meeting. The secre tary does not nave to be a mem ber of the commission. Several questions were discuss ed in an informal manner. Dave Pugh's petition for a store build ing in South Salem, which had been referred to the commission by the city council, was brought up. A letter from Mr. Pugh was read, in which he stated reasons ror permitting the erection of the proposed store. Openings of Seventeenth street through the fairgrounds to , the Pacific highway was discussed. If this is' done, it will give a highway through the city that does not go near the business section. Through freight trucks and similar traffic could then go through Salem with out adding-to the congestion In the business district. The. second and fourth Monday of each month was suggested as tentative dates for meetings.

TURN'S ON INVESTMENT ' Part Played By Carriers Is : Xo Longer VUIainoBS, Says Exlsalem Man I "Railroads of . today s aro not controlled as they once were by a 'few reckless, plunging, gambling magnates," . according - to Roy Shields, formerly of . Salem, .. and now attorney for. the Union Paci; fic in Portland, in an address be fore the Salem Rotary club yes terday. "Now. no one stockholder owns more than two per cent j of the total stock. s "Today the railroads represent the consolidation and coordination of small investments. The invest ors expect a small return, honestly earned." . . .'"'."-.''.. '" ') The general popular opinion sees railroads today in more friendly light than three years ago, believes Mr.. Shields. Then the railroads were popularly pic tured as villains, with the railroad attorney as ! the arch-villain of them all. i f '. . . The railroads are paying a small return to their. investors now, said Mr. Shields. He gave comparisons between the railroad conditions last year and conditions five years before to show why these returns are. possible. J j : ' ; . .' The operating expenses last year were about j 11,000,000,000 less than in 1919; owing principally to rigid economy.! Wages were high er last year than they were five years before.! The number of em ployes was reduced 160,000 In the five year period, due to absolute efficiency being maintained tn all departments, i j There were 11,000 more miles of railway last year than in 1919, and ... 100,000,000 -more tons, of freight were carried. The average yearly wage increased S182 in the five year, period. , "The big question facing the railroads today," according to Mr. Shields, ?ls ? how -much transport tation will be done on privately owned, urivately operated; private; ly built, an4 tax burdened rail roads, and how much on .publicly built, owned j and operated, and tax free highways. t "The railroads realize the. need served by highway, transportation. chiefly for short hauls. Some ot them are experimenting with it to connect with their lines, although there ia some1 doubt as to the le gality Of their; doing this." . Legislation Will come soon, Mr. Shields believes, to make it legal for railroads to operate their own truck lines to connect as feeders with the railroad, lines, making possible fair competition between the tax-burdened railways and the tax-free- highway transportation.
