Deler?ts Without Credentials THE American delegation has crossed the high seas and today enters the city of London to appear at the disarm ament conference on the 21st The delegation from Japan nas previously reached the city. Representatives of France and Italy riil arrive shortly for the momentous delibera tions. These are all delegates with credentials. They are pick ed men of the several great powers, men selected for their knowledge of world problems, of national responsibilities, and with temperaments adapting them to the trying task of international negotiation. Hovering in the background are other delegates, un accredited. They are voices audible yet inarticulate. They are the ghosts of fears, of ancient hatreds, of doubts. They are the forces of inertia; the divisive factors of intrigue. They are the primitive instincts which prompted the cave man to seize a . club, the mediaeval to clothe himself in coat of mail, the modern to deVise a batleship of steel. They are the threats which nourish the bitterness out of which wars spring. They are the greeds .which hesitate not at war and desolation. For them there will be no rollcall ; yet they will be there, unseen, insistent; sharper foes than men with hon estly divergent ideas. It is not altogether a June morning the world looks out on in 1930. There are sore spots, and some open wounds. There are infections that may spread. There is now as be fore the opportunity for open fracture or rupture. The far east is unsettled. China is in turmoil ; a lean Russian iear gnaws at the meatless bone of late success in Manchuria. India is in ferment, with the tide of nationalism rising steadily higher. In Europe Russia is still an Ishmael among the nations. Hungary glares at Rumania, stirred by desire for reparation or revenge. Poland, military braggart buoyed by French gold, still struts rather arrogantly. Mussolini dreams of Caesaran conquests, dreams and plans. France barricades her borders and maintains an army giving it military hegemony on the continent. Germany, helpless, dully gyowls over the weight of war reparations. In the western hemisphere the Latins still resent the penetration of Yankee gold, and fear that Porto Rico, Haiti and Panama are but stepping stones on the southern march of the -Colossus of the North." ' It is from material such as this that the forces of reac tion rouse the fears of peoples and slow the tread of states man who move toward peace. The success of the London conference depends on how greatly the accredited delegates are swayed by these fears and threats; on whether faith can triumph in some degree over doubt and over the inertia imposed by centuries of thinking in terms of the inevit ability of warfare. The Young Guard Prevails r THh seating of Senators LaFolIette and Thomas on the senate finance committee was a great victory for those I who oppose tariff control by the old guard. Senator Smoot was the only western senator on the committee, and he out New England's New England when it comes to high tariff. The eastern group, long supporters of the.seniority rule on Vommittee assignments, had no ground to stand on in seek ing to bar LaFolIette from a place on the committee. So long as the independent group is accepted in the republican cau cus, then the individuals of that group are entitled to rec ognition as republicans, despite their waywardness from old party shibboleths. If the finance committee is more representative of the country and less provincial, perhaps much of the discord which has marred the senate discussions on the tariff may be avoided. The clash would come in the committee; and the bill submitted by the committee might have better standing .when -it came before the senate for adoption. The hope for the senate lies in the passing bf leader ship from the old guard to the young guard. This intermedi ate group is more closely aligned with the Hoover leadership, with the temper of the country, and with the obvious needs of the times than either the Grundy faction or the Borah " Norris mavericks. The young guard got off to a poor start, possibly because they began with a dinner, but with more skilled strategy they may yet move into a position of dom-, inance. The country is dead tired of the mouthing and the bickering. It wants the public business moved along and the endless and purposeless inquiries, declamations and dema gogic appeals ended. ' ' - Improvement of Enforcement ' r1 IS an imposing list of reforms in statute and adminis tration which President Hoover recommends to congress on the recommendation of his prohibition commission and others. The ffttwt of them commend themselves readily to the approval of the public They do not involve drastic inva sion of constitutional rights, do not threaten fresh killings in the cause of enforcement, ers than tne law-breakers whose business is being curtail ed and suppressed. " But no formidable array of statutory reforms, no vol ume of fresh statutes will make prohibition effective with out serious intention on the part ofithe government. Con gress will doubtless enact the most of the legislation asked for, perhaps all of it. But this will not be sufficient. There must be the stimulus from the White House down through the whole enforcement organization making it cjear that the government means business. When the fear! of .Hoover- is felt down the line there will be more vigorous enforcement and cleaner administration. And the bootleraers will be quick to sense the changed situation.

J. HENDSICKS- Old times recalled: b W This morning;. January: 10, the Bits man Is working at his Oliver typewriter, la the Savoy hotel, Los Angeles, when the porter hands him this letter, from J. J. OTCelU, 12 OS E. Meta street Ven tura, CaL, dated Jan. t, 1930: m S "Beading the news article In the Los Angeles Times about your visit brought old memories back to me. I was employed as a pas senger brakeman on the Oregon & California railroad, working month about with Charier Wil son and Shan Conser between Portland and Roseburg. End ot the track. Glendale; no night or Sunday trains. "News items were scarce those days. I remember you used to meet the train daily. Always be ing a great news reader myself, I used to gather any news along the railroad I could and give it to you. (This was at Roseburg. The newspaper was the Roseburg Plaindealer.) m "After six months I resigned to go as engineer on the Oregon lan railroad, out of Wopdburn. I told you of my leaving and re quested you not to mention it In the paper. I afterwards learned you wrote a very nice article about me, saying In all the news items I had given you not one was wrong. I was on the Oregon lan road four years, leaving there on account of trouble in getting paid. Under C. N. Scott, receiver, I had six months due and did not get it tor two years, until the Southern Pacific railroad bought It My first conductor was John (J. M.) Poorman. of Woodburn. Mel Hamilton was fireing for me at -times. I am the engineer Homer Dav enport tired for, mentioned In the book he wrote. I went to the Shasta division ot the Southern Pacific in March, 18S8, tour months after the lino was opened through. Was there IT years. Re signed to go Into business. Dur ing the war was subsistence In spector for the quartermaster's department of the army,- at the Wittenberg-King plant at The Dalles. There was one located In Salem, from the way they oper ated their business I predicted what would and did happen to them. "I am hew in my 8th year; employed by the Shell Oil com pany at their Ventura aviation field; best and easiest job X ever had; a wonderful company , to work for. Am also on easy street; working to keep fit. W 'Tour picture in the Times is net much like the tall, "slim young man at I remember you. I hope you succeed in jrour effort to write a mlssioa. play on similar lines. to the one down here. I started on the railroad ia Jan uary, 18 SI, going from San Fraa cisco to Portland. I wish you and your wife a happy New Year." V The Bits man wants to return the greeting, with interest. " The members ot the railroad crews of those old days were among the best known and most- popular men in' the. state. There was only one railroad iu Oregon. They were the whole thing. And they were tine men; they lived up to their Jobs, "j-"-: -v. ' - V ' V ' - ' : :. . ' :- So Charley Moores has rone on the long Journey that has only a one way uckec so was ready to go, but hie friends were not ready to see urn depart, aa many use ful ways, the state needed him for; r, much longer stayvi His friends will miss him. They-were many. He had no enemies, la the old days, when Hon. C. B. Moores was the private secretary ot Got- ernor Moody, ever prominent man i THE LANDSLIDE tu Oregon knew him. Then he was the secretary of the Oregon Land company, when "Bert" Hoover, now president ot the United States, attended to the bedding down and feeding ot the horses of the company, and was office bey- and general utility em ployee, who knew where every thing was. Mr. Moores was one of the greatest friends of Wil lamette, university; the oldest In service among the trustees of the Institution. He was a useful mem ber ot the port of Portland com mission. He was the life ot any com pany. He had a smile and a quip and a kind word always. His fine sense ot humor saved many a dif ficult situation; Ironed out many a quarrel and tangle. He was as resourceful in this saving grace as was Abraham Lincoln. His nat ural and sincere sense of humor was as free from the sting of cyn icism as was that of the mar iyrded president. H S Mr. Mopres was a student ot the history of his times and of the pioneer period of which his his people and he himself were part. He had perhaps the 'largest collection in the state ot newspa per and magazine .clippings and articles touching on epochal and important events. These will no doubt be put at the sympathetic disposition ot some collector of historic records and thus become of permanent value in showing the colorful annals of the times when this commonwealth was in the making and in the conception of the stalwart figures who strode across the stage when the Oregon country was a wilderness; the men who led the trappers, the trail blazers, the missionary for ces, the pack trains and the cov ered wagon caravans. m m It is a great losa that Mr. Moores himself could not have remained on the stage in full possession of his faculties in help ing to bring order out ot the col lection which he carefully and methodically made. As the lov ing father, kind husband, friend ly and boon companion and good neighbor In all these relation ships, too, Charley. Moores will be sadly missed and the passing ot his. gentle spirit to the fields of asphodel beyond the stars incere ly mourned. (There Is a break in the aeries telling something ot the water and power situation In southern California, which wUl be taken up again tomorrow.") S The Bits man attended the ses sion on Friday afternoon, the 10th and the banquet In the eve ning, of the newspaper men's as sociations of California, at Long Beach, as their guest. There were many outstanding, state ments at the banquet praising Long Beach, which is a city of 160,000 people. It Is really a part of Los Angeleiv though a separ ate corporation, and the Interur ban line that connects them is 21 miles long. Long Beach is rejoic ing over a proposed 810,000,000 harbor Improvement, tor which the city .has voted bonds for its own harbor, next-to that of. Los Angeles : (San- Pedso). Also over a big Henry Ford factory being built, a Proctor it Gamble (soap company) factory, the creation ot a new Industrial district of 8000 acres, etc., etc., and a 18,800,000 auditorium which is to be built (and finished) withla the next year.

The Safety Valve ' - Letters from Statesman Headers An Open Letter to Mr. U. G. Boyer, Clerk Marion County, Ore gon, Jan. 13, 1930. Iy Dear Sir: Ia a late Issue of The Oregon Statesman I notice that the Elec tion Boards are new being "Pick ed; that younger persons will be selected this year than last be cause they, the younger set, "will be mote adept la compiling the votes." This writer knows an election board In which the oldest mem ber, a clerk, was the first to have his report ready and had the only report that needed no correction. I ant wondering if Oslerism, that a man should be chloroform ed at 40 ia the prevailing senti ment of our day. Is it really be coming m, crime to have more than 40 birthdays unless you are al ready In some desirable office with a comfortable salary? Let me remind you that the younger persons" are the ones Who are overcrowding our Jans and penitentiaries this very day. This same group ot society Is responsible, also, for a great ma jority of the robberies, murders, holdups, bootlegging, house breakings, embezzlements of funds,, malfeasance to office, so cial crimes, reckless driving en our city streets, and public high ways, with Its terrific loss of life, to say nothing about the conse quent destruction ot property. The most revolting crimes la our long list are committed by "this more adept" group of soci ety. - - . Your statement would have re ceived no attention, from this writ er but tor the fact that this sew timent Is really becoming nau seating to many who are no loag er classed as among t he "adept." I am also wondering how mach. these same "adept" 'people have done to create the splendid oppor tunities ot our time. . How much Sound Mmd By ROYAL i.

Thia is important because there is a constant increase in the number of people suffering from mental ills in this country today. At a recsnt meeting of the New York Acad emy of Medicine. Mr. Clifford W. Beers, founder of the National Committee for Mental Hygiene gave the following interesting statement: He said that there are about 400,000 patients suffering from mental ills at the present time, as compared with 187,000 twenty years ago. The number is increasing at the rate of about 10,000 a yea. This is a very grave problem for public consideration. Air. Beers declares that thn mtt ). calls for the provision of more hospitals and medical ear than the coun ry now ha. Provision must be made to cope with this very great S!!.1! ?ttbUc h for generations to come.

Here, again, ire see the necessity for preventive measures to protect the LEAGUE CITED Anti-Saloon Organization to Continue Militant Tac tics, Word DETROIT, Jan. 1. (AP) Calls for unrelenting militancy mindled with plans of conquest and hopeful predictions in address ot national leadens at the open session of the Anti-Saloon league's biennial convention here tonight The league has "enlisted for the duration of the war," F. Scott McBride, general tuperin tendent, declared in his address, and It must continue "an aggres-J sive, militant fight until country and city submit to the. law." A similar spirit permeated the ad dress ot the Rev. A. J. Barton ot Atlanta, chairman of the National Executive committee, who spoke on "dry strategy for 1030." Mr. Barton asserted that the league is the most hated and feared organisation, la America. "The wets," he added, "are more and more amazed at the strength of our organization. In a pitying and patronizing way they an nounce that we are dead, or at least noribound. The wish is father to the thought" Organisation Glories In Its Militancy A "well organized, happily co operating, gloriously militant body" is the "Imperative demand ot this hour," Mr. Barton de clared. As one point of the strat egy to this end he suggested that state league be given a larger au tonomy, that they may "function more effectively, each In its own sphere and may give larger sup port, both moral and financial to the national league; and then we will see to it that the state leagues give this moral and financial sup port in such abounding mea sure that the national league can function and fight as never be fore." Keeping prohibition "out of and above party politics and par ty contention," was another point stressed. Responsibility tor the presence of the prohibition issue in the last presidential campaign was laid by Mr. Barton upon "the nominee of one of the patties, who felt himself big enough to bully his party, to Jump its plat form and make his own." Prohibition Held Fruitful Achievement "I predict," Mr. Barton contin ued, "that never again will any party allow Itself to be so bullied and so led to . certain political slaughter . . . and that hereafter both of the major parties win frankly espouse prohibition as a dearly bought and highly fruitful American achievement." "We must, we will give whole hearted support to our president and all others charged with re sponsibility for enforcement of law who are faithfully doing their duty." Mr, Barton said In summing up the final point of his program. "The whole situation as to prohibition and prohibition enforcement has been changed and Is being changed more and more by the example and Influ- have. they done in the production of our splendid system of educa tion, our fine highways, etc, etc. I need not remind you ot the great statesmen, scientists, auth ors, most of the presidents of the u. a the really great leaders in our national congress, even at the present time, our late lamented and efficient governor, ad fin ltlm, who have rendered their most valuable service long after they had passed far beyond the Osier limitation. . It is neither my purpose nor my desire to detract from the credit of any worthy Individual or class, but I will remind you ot a very reliable record which states that the counsel of the young men was followed and the counsel of the old men rejected to the very great detriment of the king and to the nation Involved. -Let me assure you, Sir, that there Is no grouch in what I hare written. I think the older men keenly realize the facts In these matters, but tntldlr at least r. sent being told mere than three times a day that "we've naif t many birthdays., ; Again 2 ask. are veonl a condemned for having more ; I sincerely hope that your selec UonrwM jtsi. the inspection of the County Court and that every one; or them will prove to be an adept in compiling the totes " .

"In Chicago," he said, "there were 7,162 saloons and 12,000 speakeasies during the sa loon regime. While prohibition has not corrected aU the evils of liquor, it is now a new city under prohibition." The wets, he charged, "are now using the wet strength ot the cities for wet local option by electing every possible officer they can to defy this law. There is no short cut to victory. The city must be taken if victory Is to be complete." Viewing the last presidential election, McBride said thai the league In it scampaign against Alfred B. Smith "followed the same methods fundamental with the league in. 35 years of success ful history," using a special fund of $100,000, to "carry the facts as to the attitudes ot the candi dates to the voters." The league will continue, he said, "to carry records and atti tudes of candidates to the people until through their voice, the lin gering, lawless and lying liquor traffic, now an outlaw, surren ders to the law and the constitu tion." PUBLIC MIIS WASHINGTON. Jan. 16 (AP) Changes brought about In the electric power industry by growth ot holding corporations not sub ject to regulation by state com missions were outlined today by Preston S. Arkwrlght, of Atlanta, president of the Georgia Po-arer company, under questioning by counsel tor the federal trade com mission. Arkwrlght as chairman of the National Electrio Light associa tion's public policy committee had testified tor the utility associa tions in the commission's investi gation ot their publicity activities. Today he completed his defense of these activitlas by urging that the industry be judged by the "suc cessful work of the whole and not the mistakes ot the few." Robert E. Healy, chief counsel of the commission, left aside the publicity phase of the Inquiry. He developed from the witness that securities backed by the earning power ot his company and sold to the public were taken beyond con trol of the Georgia public service commission through the acquisi tion of the Georgia company by the Southeastern Power and Light company, and the absorntion of the latter by the Commonwealth ana southern corporation. Arkwrlght expressed the belief that the scope of governmental regulations should be limited to maintaining proper service to the consuming public by the utilities companies. Issuance of eaenrittAa by operating companies very prop erly came under state supervision, he said, hut he did not believe that even the making of unean. scionable profits" by holding com panies auectea tne "public inter est in the utility field."

(AP) The most spirited clash between opposing speculative forces exper ienced iu nearly two weeks today, moderately disturbed the compar ative idleness in which the stock market has languished since the holidays, and ended with the bull crowds gaining the upper hand. On the whole, however, the bull victory was not particularly deci sive, and operations were not 'vio lent enough to shake the market out of its narrow trading rut Sales tor the day totaled 2,630, 060, the largest since January 2, but the price index of 90 leading stocks show a net gain ot less than a point - The advance was aided by re newed talk of a decrease Id the New York Federal Reserve redis count rate tomorrow. Such actirn will undoubtedly depend upon whether the Bank of England re duces Its rate tomorrow morning. A large shipment of gold from Spain to London enhances the prospect ot such action, but ster ling exchange has weakened so decisively ot late that the prospect is not regarded as particularly promising. Business news and statistics coming to hand were not ot a character to clarify the outlook to any extent ' Heavy selling of Montgomery Ward was the outstanding feature of the day's trading. The issue was depressed 5 U points to a new low for the present stock at 33 5-8, but a general rally In the last hour carried it up to 40 3-4. Rather unsettling rumors were heard during the decline, but president Everitt issued a state ment during the afternoon, saying the company was in the strongest financial position It has ever en joyed, and condemning "organ ized use ot misleading -rumors." The selling was generally regard ed as a bear drive, although much of It appeared to come from Chi cago. Coming to SALEM DR.
