America Advises Euro
pcan Debtors that Time
Has Come to Liquidate
War Debts.
Washington, May 16. (A. P.)
The American government ad
vised its European debtors that in
. its opinion the time has come for
eettkment.
In a communication addressed
to nine nations, it has expressed
an earnest desire that the war
debt question be brought to a so
lution without further delay. I
The nations' sj notified arc
France, Italy, Belgium Roumanian
Greece, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Sla-vla
and Latvia.
Disclaiming any intention to un
duly press for payment where
payment is imposetble, the com
munication nevertheless reflects
the view of Washington that the
acute stage of the reconstruction
period is passing, and the debtor
nations should be' in a position to
put their promises to pay Into def
inite agreements.-
The nations addressed made up
the whole list of important was
borrowers except for Kuss:c, where
there is no recognized government
to which a notification could be
addressed.
In addition, Ambassador Herrick
, government that the Washington
government would be pleased If a
debt commission were sent to this
country.
Some inkling of the converea
tions with France previously had
been permitted to reach the public,
but it was not disclosed until to
day that Washington had taken
the initiative in seeking a general
refunding arrangement with all
the principal war debtors.
Details of the negotiations still
are withheld,, but there were indi
cations today that the American
move virtually amounted to a cir
cular notice to the debtors that
this government believes the time
had come to strike a general bal
ance. For many months the adminis

SALARY RAISES OF

Opposition to Increases In sal

monthly meeting of the Salem
Grange this afternoon, when a;
resolution was presented to com-!

people. Supreme court Judges and
district attorneys were tho one.s
for whom raises in salary were ob

Another resolution presented in

to incrt.ise a state officer's sa'.ary
during his own term of office, ff
the resolution were carried out and
made a constitutional amendment,
as recommended, no state officer

elected to succeed himself for an
additional term.
"It Is alrcndy Illegal to cut an
official s salary while he Is In of

SAIKl CAUGHT
MAKING SAK!
I" TINY STILL
Sma - t Distillery In Cap-
ti1 Captured Across
Ri t From Independ
ent Brings $100 Fine.
Wh" tfarlon and Yamhill
counties have been in the middle
of a heated argument as to wheth
er the Newberg or the Mt. Angel
still was the largest captured in
the history of the world, Marion
has now come forward with the
claim of having discovered in its
confines the smallest still in cap
tivity the real miniature cham
pion of the world.
This was seized by state off!
cere last night alleged to be In
possession of U. Saiki, Japanese,
across the river from Independ
ence. The Japanese was seized
along with the still and lodged
in Jail here.
The still included a gallon gas
oline can. a small candy bucket
and a tiny coil with which to sep
arate from the ingredients in the
gasoline can the well known
drink of saki, to be deposited In
to the candy bucket. Along with
the seizure was a gallon demijohn
containing a small amount of
sakl, and a two quart glatss Jar,
containing the rice mash from
which the saki was to be distill
ed.
The Japanese protested that
he was only making a little beer,
evidently the Japanese definition
of sakl. White men who have
tested saki. however, declare It
has a rare back like the well im
planted kick of a mule. Apparent
ly the distilling operations of
Saiki were ou a purely private
and personal basis and from tbe
amount on hand the distiller
seemingly was drinking the-.pro
duct about as fast as he could
manufacture ii.
Evidently the size of the still
measures the punishment, for
Saiki drew a (100 fine from Jus
tice Small, while the big Mt. An
gel still drew a 93000 fine and
six months imprisonment.

"French opinion," it continues.

to be aimed at track men, who

WORLD HOPE
Spirited Defense By Ru
manian and Spanish
Delegates of League of
Nations.
Geneva. May 16. (A. P.) A
spirited defense of the league ot
nations characterized today's ses
sion uf the International confer
ence for the control of traffic In
arms and munitions.
This came during debate on the
amendment to divorce the pro
posed intcrnatlonalarms traffic
control bureau from the league.
The smaller states represented at
the conference through the Span
ish and Rumanian delegates said
the league, although perhaps 1m
perfect, was a going concern that
represented the hopes of humanity
and that it would be useless to
create a new organization which
would only hinder the league.
Tho American amendment was
even tu fly referred to a special
committee of eight, including
Congressman Burton of Ohio, head
of the American delegation, who
offered the amendment. ;
Mr. Hurton defended Ms pro
posal that the central office be
organized by the signers of the
arms convention themselves In
stead of being appointed by league
council. He said this question
was serious for America because
under the proposal convention, the
control office would be a part of
tbe lengue of nntlons, where the
United Stutes Is not a member.
Mr. Hurton said tho delegates
must recognize that his govern
ment sees practical difficulties In
accepting treaty obligations con
cerning.nn organization set up by
the league.
Representative- Burton admitted
that another article of the drnfl
makes partial ndherence possible
but said that altogether It was
undesirable that n convention be
adnnted to which reservations
would have to be made One rlnu'e
of this "article, he said, would
make conditional adherence de
pend upon the ronpnl of other
ilrners and also upon whether
such ndherence Interfered with
