The presi dent calls on these corporations to show their hand,, to con fess or deny whether they engaged one William B. Shearer to engender international distrust and hatred so that they might profit by competitive naval construction. ; This man Shearer has long been distinguished as a critic of agreements for the redaction of armament. His criticism of government moves have been severe as the president him self admits. He now is disclosing his backers through suits in the courts against the three concerns mentioned "for services rendered", acknowledging a credit of $50,000 "on account". The president denounces such commercializing of delicate in ternational negotiations through the; money-greed of .great eoriioreiktito They raaftnranerlr be described as "soulless" if tfcyWflid !Ae'iAlsobr disorii merely to, fatten, hteiT treasuries. President Hoover performs a magnificent public service in exposing them before the public and challenging them to reveal their activities. If the facts are as recited by Shearer, the corporations deserve to be pilloried by public opinion. They should be denounced and cut off the eligible list' to receive public contracts. ; f . Such- directness suggests that the building of warships, already carried on in part in government-owned yards, may well be. concentrated in public yards. This not as a measure of economy but to keep the shipbuilding concerns from lobby ing in favor of big navy appropriations. This might not stop pernicious lobbying, for the navy yard communities have beei) aggressive advocates of big appropriations, using their congressmen as walking delegates to bring home the swag. ; What a refreshing thing it is to see a president with ab dominal fortitude enough to stand up at his desk and issue a bristling statement "on his own responsibility." There is none of the Coolidge cowardice about Herbert Hoover. His state ment lacks the delirious intemperance of the great T. R.'s castigations, but it is sharp and reveals a swinging club that is not stuffed in the hands of a man who dares to use it Lots Can Happen During A Recess j J2) (LL w -'TV ewnoM J III I g.-Hr rfO -i-iz: WMA 11 I I - I I . . . .

The trip by air was made pos sible by the recent inaugural of the BrownsTille to Masatian matt and passenger lino, which makes The, Settlement at The Hague TlHE other night over the radio from London Philip Snow den, chancellor of the exchequer; gave his report to the British commonwealth of nations of his stewardship in the conference at The Hague in which the vexing question of ths division of .German reparations was settled by the allied powers. His story of the concluding moments of the confer ence is ah interesting study in human nature. Eminent diplomats work on the same lines as village horse traders, or like a man trading in his old automobile on a new one. Here is the chancellor's description: "It looked as though the breakdown was at .hand," he said. "The French had ordered a special train to take them back to Paris. Briand made an impassioned plea to me to put the interests of Europe before any paltry financial consideration. I agreed. We are now asked, I said, 'to accept half our just claim.' The conference seemed at an end. "But it proved to be the darkest hour before the dawn. The room was insufferably hot. It all seemed over. Somebody moved for ad journment for 10 minutes to give ns a chance to get' a breath of air. Wo broke up into little groups. The British remained in the confer ence rooms.- Then the bargaining began. "Jaspar of Belgium was the Intermediary. He came to mo In five minutes with an advance that met only C9 per cent of our claims. I wrote our refusal and the heads of what we must have on on a half sheet of note paper. We waited for half an hour. Later he returned. He had previously advanced tho offer 190,tt pounds. Now he came with 59,000 more. He said that it was all he could do. i "I said, 'Be not weary of well doing. : Bo was in despair. We have aU emptied our pockets. he fretted. I replied "Look through them again; they tell me yon hare a kind heart. " "They told me yon had aklnd heart, said poor Jaspar. 'I've never met a man like you. Ton are a type, as tho French say.' Then someone had a brain wave. The rest of the money was found. The conference was saved. BITS for BREAKFAST -By B. J. HENDEICKS- What Price Wheat? BEING afflicted with a wheat ranch which we haven't been relieved of either by congress or the tax collector we wrote to find out the price of wheat. This is in eastern Wash ington. Price reported was $1.18 at a point just S00 miles from tide water. Our correspondent reported that the price sp in Canada was f 1.40 and .near Great Falls, Montana, 95 Cents. This seems an absurd disparity in prices. The Canadian market all season has been much stronger than Duluth or Chicago. There has been a movement' of American grain to ' Canada, something very unusuaL We haven't had time & in quire into the causes. Some may say it is the Canadian wheat pool which secures a higher price. Others that it is the dif ference in freight rates, the Canadian railroads hauling grain under old government contracts or subvention agreements at much" less than American roads. Neither of these solutions seems to be adequate. For thse conditions existed in former years without such effect on prices. . i . Looks like Old World Demand and New World Supply had had a night out and were a little hazy on the morning after. Otherwise national boundary lines would have little effect on the world price.! What can we wheat growers do about it? For our part we won't stand for it at all. Well rive cur cron away, first: in fact that's just what we have : done told the wife sh ecould speculate with it When she sells we have promised not to say "I told yon so.'

It makes encouraging reading. It shows progress In all ways, in the whole linen industry here. It shows progress towards making the prison self support ing. How? WeU, the five scutching ma chines will next month be turning out in excess of two tons a day of long line fiber in one shift. With the spinning tow added (going through the Etrich machine), the selling value of the fiber will bo around $1200. Then there is the upholstering tow to add, aud the ground and whole flax seed for the drug trade, and the stock food. These will rpund out a fuU $1500 a day. Then tho seed threshed out runs to 111 Of a day value. That makes 12000 a day. Multiply 13000 by 111 working days in the year, and you have 1930,000. On the present basis, with the sales of lime, pulling and scutching machines and other pro ducts, the industries of the peni tentiary are not getting Into tho realm .of $1,009,999 a year tor their products. " i But the $1500 a day for seed cannot last through the 112 work ing days of the year. But It can average that on 10,000 acres of flax planted to J. W. 8. seed, to which we are coming. The acre- are was last year 1000, this year; 4500. wiU be 9769 next year, and 19.999 acres by 1932. when there wQl bo enough J. W. 8. seed tor the entire crop; and more. The general maintenance expen ses of the prison are around $209,- 900 a year. The appropriation for this blennlum Is $415,189, for supplies, salaries! and Incidentals. The Bits man oelievea U will be mora than: possible for ths prison Industries to show a profit of abort $200,909 for tho year 1919, But It will need ovary cent of the money to be left In the re volving fund, to pay too farmers tor their 1111 crop. And it win need the 1911 earnings to be left for paying for the 1912 crop, and for meeting tho various expenses of expansion In machinery, tfulp-ment-and ooildlags. - Then, with 10,000 acres' taken oa and provided for, the total sales wUI bo around-$ 2.099,000 a yeex,- Tho fanners . will . got up wards of $799,999 a. year of this money tor their flax. The -other costs win be -much higher than now, with more money for salar ies of fret labor and earnings of prisoners working in the flax In dustry, etc., etc w H But, by 1911, there should be a hiatus of pront that may bo tak en ont of the revolving fund with out impairing the surplus needed for raw supplies and running ex penses, of more than $299,999; or enough to make tho institution- self supporting, ana, by 193 1, with something over . for . more land and buildings and machinery, tew tc la other words, the legislature at Its 1131 session will hava to provide the regular fund for tho maintenance of tho prison. : But tho 1911 legislature may not have to appropriate a cent for this pur pose, and there may . never bo another appropriation of pubUe fund needed from tho general fund.. ,-v. , - " ' Just another word: the state In dustries art training a lot of ex perts, among tho free labor as well as tho prison labor high class men, capable of assisting lo cal communities In establishing flax' Industries, t Those common iUiJ ira o-wa to- tavestato.

Tho profitable use of the flax shives In making paper board or paper twine or ferverol may add many thousands a year to the revolving fund. Another word: Both of Salem's linen mills are now on a paying basis, ready, for expansion, with dividends for stockholders in sight; though net earnings, or share of them, will for a long time do neeaea zor making the addi tions that will finally cause those plants to grow Into great proper ties.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Chadwlck and their granddaugh ter, Miss Emma Maury of Olym pia. Wash. At Salem they took Mr. Chadwlck's sister. Miss Mary Chadwlck, with them in their au tomobile, and the party traveled to Roseburg and Oakland, and at the latter place visited Mrs. Mary Smith, aunt of the Chadwicks. The father of the Chadwicks was sec retary of state in Oregon, elected in 1879 and reelected In 1174, and became governor on tho res ignation of Governor Grover, Feb, 1, 1877, serving in tho chair of the chief executive for nearly two years. Stephen J. Chadwlek serv ed for about 11 years on tho su preme beach of Washington, and was frequently urged by hit many friends of that state for tht office of governor. He resigned from the supreme bench in order to enter private practice. Associated with his son,, who was in the World war he now has offices in the 1 Seattle Central building in the chief sound city.

Tho field at Mlnatitlan. state of Vera Cruz, Is owned, like practic ally everything else in that town, by the Aguila Oil company, a Brit ish concern, and is held In control by that company for future devel opment. A large part of tht company's appropriation for Improvements will go toward construction of all-weather runways, hangars and a passenger station at the Central Civil airport. Together with ao- proprlations made by the Federal government the cost wUI total up wards of $250,000 tor this port alone. Looking to the future the com pany also will spend considerable money in Improving the airports at Tuxpan, below Tamplco: at Vera Crus: San Geronlmo. State of Oaxaca; at San Antolln, Chiap as and at Tapachula, Chiapas, which is on the boundary of Mex ico and Guatemala. It is along this route that the company expects to have its three i and four-motor passenger and mall planet flying next year to Panama. The company already op erates a mail line to Tapachula and expects to extend this to -Gua temala City soon.
