American Capital To Help Re
establish European Pro-
: duction As Business Prop
osition, Banker States.
Washington, Jan. 23. American
' capital will be employed In aiding
Europe to "get back .to productive
work" not because of attractive rates
of interest, but to restore normal con
ditions and to open marketg for Am
erican export, Governor G. P. Hard
ing of the federal reserve board said
today, speaking before the second
Pan-American financial congress.
"We cannot, however, export things
which we do not have," Governor
Harding said. "During the past year
we have witnessed an unprecedented
era of extravagance in tills country;
there has been a continuous rise in
prices and while the value of our
products expressed In dollars has been
greater than ever before in history,
the physical volume of goods produc
ed was less than the production of
any year since 1916. Our domestic de
mand has been competing with ex
port demands and the result has been
that prices have been bid up on both
the foreign and domestic consumers.
Looks to Future '
"Our people must be aroused to the
. consciousness that wa mat be living
in a fool's paradise and that more
work, economy and liberal invest
ment in foreign securities are neces
sary if we wish to make our present
apparent prosperity real and perma
nent. It is important that the world
should get back to work in order to
provide steady employment for the
people of our country even."
V. Governor Harding, called attention
to the new "Edge act" "providing ma
chinery for financing these .under
takings which he said gave exporters, ,
producers, manufacturers, and Ameri
can investors the means of coopera
tion to solve the problem before
them.
"The basis of world commerce Is
an exchange of goods," Governor
Harding said, pointing out thai Am
erican loans must be on terms to per
mit the borrowers to repay in pro
ducts. Foreign Credit Valuable
"European nationals enn produce
many things which we either do not
produce at all, or cannot produce as
cheaply as they can," he continued,
w it may be they can produce things
needed in South American oountrljs
m the far east. As American import
ers have constant dealings with South
American and oriental countries it
follows that European credits avail
able in China and Japan. Argentina,
-"Ile, Brazil and other Latin Ameri
can nations will be Just as effective
' liquidating European obligations
the United States as direct Euro
pean credits in New York would be."

VERA CRUZ HIT
BY EARTHQUAKE
BUT NONE HURT
Mexico City, Jan. 23. Strong
earthquake shocks were felt in
. the ctly of Vera Cruz from 3 to
S o'clock this morning. There
were no casualties although
some residences were damaged.
Reports from Vera Crux state
the tremors demolished at
Coustlan all , structures which
were not destroyed in the earth
quake of January 6, while
shocks lasting 20 minutes
caused further damage at Sal
moral and San Francisco De La
nas.
TO
NOT YH RECEIVED
Relief for the car shortagt situation
in the Pacific northwest promised by
the federal railroad administration two
weeks ago has failed to materialize, ai
last so far as this state is concerned,
according to Fred G. Buchtel, chair
man of the Oregon public service Com
mission, who has telegraphed Max
Thelen, director of public service of
the railway administration, calling his
attention to the situation in Oregon.
.Approximately only thirty to thirty
five per cent of the requirements in
this state are being supplied at this
time, Buchtel states in his telegram,
calling attention to the administra
tion's promise of 600 addiional empty
cars dally for the Pacific northwest
from eastern lines, which, he states Is
"apparently not bting complied with."
The Milwaukee line reports less than
200 empties moving westward while
the Great Northern reports approxi
mately 1800 cars coming westward
along its .line. On the O-W. R. & N.,
which was to have delivered 75 emp
ties daily no cars have entered Oregon
to date under the administrations'
promise of January 10th. T,he first
twenty days of January this region re
ceived approximately one thousand
empties less than during the same per.
lod in October and shipped about 44000
loads less, Guchtel explain. The ad
ministration is urged to check ,up on
its recent promise of relief and Insist
upon the co-operation of eastern lines
in aiding shippers from this section.
HERE HELD GOOD
The labor conditions in Salem are
the best of any city on the coast, ac
cording to information issued Friday
by City Recorder Race, head of the
municipal labor bureau. There are
plenty of jobs, and a scarcity of work
men, that just about balances the .sit
uation, Mr. Race said.
The addition of crews to the Ore
gon Pulp & Paper company's mill,
and the employment of numerous
men on the lines of the Oregon Elec
tric railroad aided materially in end
ing unemployment In the city.
Among the positions open Friday
were: three married men for farm
work, several single farm hand jobs'
woodchoppers and a woman cook.
School t?achers of Hood River have
organized an association for the pur
pose of securing better salaries.
Death Toll of
Flu Epidemic
Mounts Higher
Chicago, Jan. 23. The epidemic of
Influenza and pneumonia from which
more than 10,000 persons in Chicago
are suffering today continued to spread
but there was a slight decrease In the
number of new cases reported. The
death list, however, showed a consid
erable increase during the last 24
hours.
Pneumonia caused 43 deaths in the
last 24 hours and influenza 36. New
Influenza cases numbered 2086 and the
new cases of pneumonia 251.
"JtED" OPPOSITION PLAXXED
London, Jan. 23. Sergius Sazonor,
former minister of foreign affairs of
Russia, has arrived in Warsaw to con
fer on st.ips to be taken in opposing
the bolshevik!, according to a Copen

Warsaw he will go to southern Russia
to begin negotiations with General

KNIGHT BOARD
ATVIIK
ELS
Nayal Advisory Body Unable
To Support Award Of High
Decorations To Officers
1 Who Lost Ships In War
Washington, Jan. 23. The Knight
board is unable to agree with Secre
tary Daniels that naval officers who
lost their ships through enemy sub
marine action and performed meri
torious service in connection with
such loss should be awarded , high
decorations, the senate investigating
committee was told today by Rear
Admiral Austin M. Knight, chairman
of the board.
' Admiral Knight said a high decora
tion was not deserved unless the sink
ing was accompanied by offensive ac
tion against the enemy.
Admiral Knight said that in the
case of Commander D. W. Bagley,
Secretary Daniels brother-in-law, no
decoration was recommended for any
ciroumstance in connection with the
sinking of destroyer Jacob Jones be
cause Commander Bagley did not en
gage the enemy. A navy cross was
was recommended for the officer, he
said, for good seamanship displayed
in taking off the crew and passengers
of the torpedoed British steamer Ora
ma. Commander Bagley was not rec
ommended by his Immediate super
ior, he said, for any' decoration in
connection with the sinking of the
Jacob Jones.
Officers whose vessels were torpe
doed, but who by good seamanship
and discipline, succeeded in saving
their Bhips earned the D. S. M., Ad
miral Knight declared.
"It is true that the board recom
mended awards for several of the of-
Willi U Jilt
fleers referred- tu byt1wiim:ietary fts4WH4hg' wasrtorir years general jett
commanders of ships which were lost
or seriously damaged by enemy sub
marines or mines," Admiral Knight
said. .'.'But In each case there was a
special reason. Captain Vernon of the
Cassln, Captain DIsmukes of the
Mount Vernon, Captain Chase of the
Minnesota and Captain Graham of tho
Finland, saved their ships by excel
lent seamanship and discipline after
the ships were disabled."
No information was available to
guide the board in making recommen
dations for Captain Satterlee of the
Tampa, and Commander Ghent of the
Antilles, nor were any circumstances
known that would justify such award,
Admiral Knight said. Secretary Dan
iels awarded D. S. M.'s to both offi
cers. The Tampa and Antilles were
torpedoed and sunk.
"Commander Foote's case is the
only one in which the board recom
mended the award of a D. S. M. for
circumstances connected alone with
the actual loss of a ship," Admiral
Knight said, "and this recommenda
tion was based chiefly upon the rec
ommendations of Admiral Gleaves
and Admiral Mayo."
The award recommended for Cap
tain Christy, the admiral said, was
based not only on his conduct at the
time of the .sinking of his ship, the
armored cruiser San Diego, but for
his later service in command of the
battleship Wyoming. Commander
Conn was not recommended for
award In connection with the loss of
his ship, the yacht Alcedo, the witness
continued but -was recommended for
a navy cross under the general cita
tion given destroyer commanders.
