President Says Proposal if
Adopted Would Create i
' False Impression Abroad
SAYS THIS COUNTRY ALSO
WOULD MISUNDERSTAND
Wellington Government Will
Not Say What Reparation
Payments Should be Made.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. (I. P.I
President HarUin.fr today announced
Ills opposition to tho senate's passage
of the Borah resolution requesting the
executive io call an international eco
nomic onrf.'arnuwnent limitut'on con
ferenee. The president declared that
the. bill's passage was undesirable "lie
pause o tliic false impression which
might be cojtveyed to Europe and even
more undVcirable. because of the
wrong imprnasion it conveys to our
own peoplc.", His position was re
vealed in a etter to Senator Ixidgc,
which was reautt by the latter when the
senate met today.
It would be futile to call such, a con
ference as Senator T'ornh proposes nn.
til the. executive -had leerned whether
other nations yquld wilconie prph a
move. President'! , HVirdlng said. If
congress desires ',Co nhl in the uresent
situation, he said.'i it should modify the
laws which prevent American repre
sentation on the riicparat'ons commis
sion and prohibit Whc American debt
commission from slanting more liber
al funding terms to America's world
war debtors. President Hardinr; said
the settlement of th- reparations ques
tlon "must underlie i'iiy economic ro
hab'litation of Kurriji.', but emphati
cally declared the fnV ed States would
never say to one natliti what it sbo'i1'
pay or to another whit it should ac
cept, regarding reparations." The let
ter attacked Porah's revolution point
edly and indicated thct .president op
poses the senator's .niovo on the
ground it seems to assuVl the execu
tive branch of the government "was
not fully alive to the woVld situation,
which Is of deep concern A o the Unit
ed States."

LONDON, Dec. 2!S. (A. P.) Reviewing Irish eond'Hoio;, the Daily
.Mail's correspondent in Dublin paints a discouraging picture. He ex
presses fear that the present lull in military operations is merely Tempo
rary, and that republicanism is still strong enough to cause the govern
ment infinite trouble. He attributes the constantly reviving rebel activity
to the women, 75 per cent of whom he asserted probably sympathize with
the irregulars. He declares that even the wives of scene of the ministeis
are passively if not actively rebels.

A saving of something more than
$2,000 in one tilling operation dnrlnu
tho co irse of the season of cultivation
of fallow ground on one ranch was
effected during the summer of 1 922 by
Hobart I'erlnger. The saving was all
caused by a very simple change in ma
chinery, but Perlnger thinks it worth
while.
There were 2,1100 acres of fallow
land to be bladed on the Peringer
ranch this summer, and one of tlv
men working on the ranch made th.
suggestion that by changing t he blades
ic that they were propelled on rollers
instead of on runners, as it customary.
'he burden of operating them would
lie materially decreased so that the
same number of horses or mules
could do more work, without hurting
themselves.
The change was marie, rollers about
one foot lone beiu2 exchanged fur th"
miners on the blades. Peringer used
bree elgbt-iuul" tiams, t-ali eiglli
j pulling a 2S-foot blade, which was
I made of two 14-foot blades knuckled
J together. Three ni"n oid the driving
inil they bladed the 2.30 acie four
imes during the reason.
i With the blades being operated on
j runners as in tin past, a six-mule
i team was r.ble to p ill a 14-foot blade.

MEXICO CITY, Dee IS. (U. P.)
The international scramble for Mexi
co's vast oil reserves reached a climax
today when Prit'sh, French, Belgian
and Italian capitalists .secured one or
the largest petroleum contract conces
sions ever issued by Hi" Mexican gov
ernment. Colonel .1. 1.. O'Connor,
president of Hie American foreign oil

tier cent of the entire production,
against which no duties or taxes will
be assessed.
How the Yakinii. fruit growers arc
moving their apples in the face o!
.dow demand is told in u story car
ried In the December number of the
"Ilig Y" bulletin, the official publica
tion of the fruit men of that section.
Advertising is being used 111 many
sections of the country to push the
:ilo of apples, and the results at
tained have resulted in many car
loads being moved. The story fol
lows: There has been very little change
in the marketing Munition during
t- past month,
markets have as
sought somewhat lower levels as a
result of the heavy arrivals of dry
storage stock in both Northwestern
boxed apples and barrelled stock.
An unproci deiitwlly large con
sumption of apples is taking place
due to the cheap prices prevailing,
which is having the desirable effect
i of i bailing up vi ry rapidly a ery
I considerable part of the dry storage
I stock, cspt cially the soft or fall va
Irieties. There has been very little
demand for winter varieties up to
the prisent time. Home llo.uutlos
are now beginning to appear on the
mnrkfl with a scattering demand for
Wines us mostly In the lower grades!
and small sizes. The trade Is look-!
ing for cheap apples ns a general
thing. Wo do not anticipate 'that j
there, will be a cry heavy demand ,
for the winter ari,-:ln until the
middle or last of January. j

Subject of Placement Bureau
Arouses Animated Debate
During; 1 Annual Meeting-.
.Superintendent H. K. lnlow of tho

chairman of the executive committee
of tlie Oregon state teachcrn associa

Other members named on the execu
tive committee are Susunni! II. Car
ter of Jacksonville and President J. S.
Landers i.C the state normal e:hool
(I. W. Agi r of lleud was elected presi
dent of the assia hit ion and A. C.
Strange of Astoria, vice president.
An animated discussion on the
iiaehers' placement bureaus eiillveucd
i he Wednesday afternoon session of
the State Teachers' association, which
r pened its representative council nt
the Lincoln high school auditorium in
the morning.
O. W. P.oetliclier, superintendent of
Albany schools, made tho original re
port and was followed by K. K, Curf.
man of Wheeler county, who stated
that the country is flooded with teach
ers' placement agencies, which Im
pose on I heir patrons to the extent of
demanding S per cent of their first
year's salaries. This he called an ex
orbitant fee, adding that more than
$:i30,ni)0 a year Is spent In the state
for this purpose to the detriment of
the school efficiency. Furthermore,
he stnted that there are a score of
these agencies with offices In Oregon,
all save four of which have head-1
quarters outside tho state.
15. H. Whitney, assistant superin
tendent of Portland schools, advocated
a measure which would postpone no.
lion for a year, in view of the fact
that a proposed reorganization will
provide for a salaried secretary, who
may assume cbargo of the matter of
teacher placement.
C. W. Alderson, county superintend
ent of schools, said that if tho matter
Is postponed a year it will moan in
definite settlement nnd probable death
of the measure. At this the voices of
the assembled Instructors rose In one
rumble of protest.
R. K. White of Junction City said
that the proposed plan of eliminating
tho commercial agencies had been
tried unsuccessfully in 12 states and
F. K. Cnrfninn again took the floor
I,, offer an' amendment, placing the
j matter In the hands of i diroctlng
board of members of the executive
I committee, which w is named, and
I who will consider the problem as soon
j ns possible, m the opinion of several
! of the Instructors this means In lefinite
postponement, but others felt that the
matter will be rcttled before spring.
The board of control will formulate
general plans for conducting the bu
reau and administering Us affairs and
It also will elect a nnuiager for the
bureau. The fee for placement exact
ed by this bureau will be ;'j per
rent. Instead of o per cent, of th'
teacher's earnings for Hie first year,;
bid the funds, by this nietnon, win t,e
