NUMBER 47 MAY DECIDE TO LEAVE WHETHER NEW Oil BETTER HERB FOR MYRTLE POINT FARM LAND, CONSIDERED In order that he may be enabled to greatly enlarge his business, C. H. Latourell is contemplating mak ing a move from Heppner to Myrtle Point, Coos county. He is at that place this week, looking over the sit uation, having been offered the agency there by the Ford Motor com pany. While Myrtle Point is no larger than Heppner, the little city is so situated that it is a very advantage ous point for the selling of cars, and it is estimated that the demand for this class of vehicles is at least three times greater there than here. Mr. Latourell has made no disposition of his agency here as yet, but it is un derstood that h,e is negotiating with local parties who desire to take over the business. Heppner Gazette-Times.

COOPERATE WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WITHOUT FULL MEMBERSHIP AT PRESENT That without becoming a member of the League of Nations as at present constituted, the United Slates Government should extend Its present cooperation with the League and propose participation in the work of its Assembly and Council under the following conditions and reservations: Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine 1. The United States accepts the League of Nations us an instrument of mutual counsel, but it will assume no obligation to interfere with political questions of policy or internal administration of any foreign state. In uniting its effort! with those of other States for the preser vation of peace and the promotion of the common welfare, the United States insists upon the safeguarding of the Monroe Doc trine and does not abandon its traditional attitude concerning American Independence of the Old World and does not consent to submit its long established policy concerning questions regarded by It as purely American to the recommendation or decision of other Powers, No Military or Economic Force 2. That the only kind of compulsion which nations can freely engage to apply to each other In the name of Peace Is that which aris ss from conference, from moral judgment, from full publicity, und from the power of public opinion. The United States would assume no Obligations BCdsr Article X in its present form, or under Article XVI In Ub present torn Ifl the Covenant, or in Its amended form as now proposed, unless in any particular case Congress has authorized such action The United States proposes that Articles X and XVI be either dropped alto;.;other or so amended and changed as to eliminate any suggestion of a general agreement to use coercion for Obtain ing conformity to the pledges of the Covenant. No Obligations Undjr Vercallles Treaty 3. That the United Slates will accept no responsibilities under thi Treaty of Versailles unless in any particular case Congress has authorized such action. League Open to All Nations 4. The United States Ooverniio ni proposes that Article 1 of the Cove nant be construed and applied, or, if necessary, relrafted, so that admission to the League shall be assured to any self-governing Slate that wishes to Join aud that receives the favorable vote of twu-thlrds of the Assembly. Development of International Law 5. As a condition of its participation in the work and OOMWulsl of the League, the United States asks that the Assembly and Council con sent or obtain authority to begin collaboration ior the revtsiOS and development of International law, employing for ttils purpose the aid of a commission of jurists. This Couimlss.cn would be directed to formulate anew existing rules of the law of nations, to reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto Inade quately provided for but vital to the maintenance of lut rnational justice, anrl in general to d 'line the social rights and duties of States. The recommendatio.is of the Commission would be pre sented from time to time, in proper form for considera' Ion. to the Assembly as to a recommending If not a law making body. Author's Nam Not to Be Revealed Until After Referendum In order thfit the vole may betaken solely upon the merits of the plan, the Policy Committee, with the ac quiescence of Mr Bok. has decided not to disciose the authorship of the plan until after the referendum.
