that it was not ipiite decent to have

There will he no national guard boxing
smoker here Thursday night.
Announcement, was made today by Jack
Wagner, Porthinder. who came down to
handle details of the card, and by .Major
William O. While, thnt sentiment of the
sporting public seemed to be against the
card as arranged and it was deemed best
to call n halt to proceedings.
Wagner left this morning for the rose
city. He says ho found much dissatisfac
tion here because there weren't enough
loinl boxers on the card. He also found.
he said, a belief prevailing that the
mntches were framed because the par
ticipants were from Portland. This he
hotly denied.
It seems that Kugono. which has had
no chance to enjoy a smoker for some
months, will be without one for some
time to come.

havo made any in-tun I move toward es
tablishins ooiiluct with the debt rofundiiiR
commission.
(if twenty naliouti, belief iciarifs of the
American treasury durius the war years,
only seven, according to tht: records of
the commission nave made overtures
looking toward refunding negotiations.
These are England, France,, liclniuni,
Jugo-Slavia, Kumnnin, Italy and inland.
The degree of their responses to
American invitations to "come and talk
it over' varies.
Lack of Funds May Be Cause.
Tho belief Is held that the, procrasti
nation of foreign countries Is occasioned
not only liy their inability to see their
way toward paying even if the debts are
refunded, but because, in HUD they were
all informed that this country was willing
to declare a three-year moratorium on
payments pending refunding arrange
ments. If the countries would immedi
ately enter such negotiations. The pro
posal was never acceded to. hut the im
pression apparently prevailed that the
three-yeer imiratorium neverthelesB re
mained valid. This expired iu April of
this year..
Kngland has tentatively named a com
mission to visit Washington and talk re
funding and has recently paid the treas
ury $HX).000,1H0 on account of interest.
Franca Doloaate Goes Home.
'France, during the past summer named
a delegate, .lean Parmentier. who con
ferred u'ilh the commission for a num
bee of weeks. .Parmeutier was suddenly
recalled to his home country, leaving be
hind him "imfin is lied bus nest, and the
debt refunding commission has no word
of his return.
France, which maintains that pay
ment of her debt is out of the question,
is nevertheless paying to this country
approximately $2l,000t000 annually in
interest.
Belgium has named a delegate to ap
pear before, the commission Karon Ie
('artier, her ambassador to this conn
try. Ie Cartier, however, has as yet
made uo appeal to the commission to set
a date for commencing negotiations.
Jugo-Slavla Dallies.
.Tugo-Slaviu hns likewise appointed her
diplomatic representative in Washington
to negotiate refunding. 1r. I'uvis-h, how
ever, has made nn definite overtures for
refunding the $5.S,(KK).tK0 indebtedness
of his country to the United States.
Ifnmniiiii has two delegates at present
in Washington Vho are actively engtiged
in conversations with the debt refunding
commission.
Italy inquired of this country hist sum
mer "-hen she could send it refunding
n Hsion. Kince that time no further word
nas i.n received.
Poland, with a debt nf $l..Wt0,0in
and a currency quoted at 1.r,000 marks
to the dollar, has declared her willing
ness to enter negotiation for refunding
her debt but has not followed the mat
ter up, pending final odjudication of the
amount she owes.

Problem Actual Ono.
''Wo are not now dealing with a policy
founded on theory, we Juive a problem
which, is one of grim actuality. We are
facing insistent conditions, out of which
will come either add it ion at and stagger
ing government losses and uatioiuil iin

ing of the flag on a great American mer
chant marine connneiuturute with our (
commercial importance, to serve in war. 1
"There Is nothing here and now to
magnify the relation of a niercJiant ma
rine to our national defense. It is
enough to recall that we entered the
WVrld war almost wholly dependent on
our allies for transportation by sea. We
expended approximately three billions,
feverishly, extravagantly, wastefrlly and
impracticably. Out of our eagerness to
muke up for the omissions of peace and
t meet the war emergency we huildod
and otherwise acquired the vast mer

immediate problem is not to build and

aspirations of any great people. Our
problem is to deal with what we nw
posses. Our problem is to relieve the
public treasury t the drain it is al

ulrout the frenzied war time building.
Possibly we did fully as well as could
have been done in the anxious ciretim
stauces. Let trs pass for the. moment to
the vital relationship between n mec

""There Is no thour-ht here anl
now lo magnify the. relations of

recall that we entered the World
war almost wholly dependent on
our allies for truusporiutlon by

"In the simplest wny I can
say It, oir itmuediato problem Is
not to build and support u mer

one of the highest uud morit

people; our problem Im to deal

"I am not asking your auth

"Th point Is thnt our fleet,

remains that we havo no market

Declaring that no proposlion plueed he

delivered in person to the extraordinary
session of congress, called on his oppo

The president devoted practically all of
his message to n vigorous advocacy of
the subsidy, mentioning only one other
national problem udUitioiuu Tenet tor
agriculture. This nnd other questions will
be dealt with in his message to the reg

The president went on record na being

their continuance until all the world had

"This problem can no longer bo ig

will be uo less di huh irons than adversu

Throughout his speech,; the president
arirued that the subsidy .would save
money to tho treasury beeouso of the
large losses still being piled up by the
shipping hoard. These were estimated
at Ji;.rHl.000.H)0 n year, while thf presi

The executive made a fervent plen that

"The third is tientruettve involving
