Erect Block
Displaying his faith in the future
of Eugene, W. B. Cooper, local real
tor, today announced plans for a new
business building tu be built at the
corner of Tenth avenue east and Oak,
on the old Ooner corner. Bis total
investment will be approximately
J2T,000, he says.
, Work of excavating for the full
sized basement has already started.
Th block will be 80 by 80 feet in
dimensions, and will be on the north
cast corner of the intersection. It will
be one storyin height, will cost $17,
000 and will contain four store rooms,
some of which are already spoken for.
The build'.ng will be constructed pf
concrete. Mr. Cooper bought the lot
from J. D. Rainey.
"I've spent a lot of time along the
entire Pacific coast, in the east and
In the Hawaiian islands," declares the
realtor, "and have never seen a state
that has the future that is Oregon's.
This town, to my thinking, is the best

LONDON, July 18. The labor
government of Premier Bamsay Mac

commons today by an adverse vote of
171 to 140. '
The defeat was on a minor amend
ment to the unemployment insurance
bill and did not involve any possibility
of the government's resignation. The

Sharp Earthquake
BRAWLEY, Cal., July 18 A sharp

SYDNEY, N. S. W., July 13. A
band of blacks, .after killing the male

Child Labor Move
Will Not Affect
Farmers McNary
SALEM, Jnly 18. The proposed
amendment to the federal constitu
tion for prohibition of 'child labor,
would not in any way interfere with
workers in agricultural or horticul
tural pursuits, in canneries or in
other similar healthful occupations,
according to Senator McNary. The
amendment will be submitted to the
legislatures of the virions states for
ratification at an early date ie sea-
Lator said -
that it has been elected to
Time Favors Westerners. '
The Associated Press leased wire
will bring the news of all the world
directly into The Guard office. So far
as reports from the eastern states
and the lands across the Atlantic are
concerned, each day's service will car
ry to practical completion the record
of that day's news. This is because
of the difference in time, which fa
vors the afternoon newspaper on the
Pacific coast. For Instance when it
is 6 o'clock p. m. In New York it is
3 p. m. in Eugene. When it is 5 p.m.
in Chicago it is 3 p. m. here. When
it is 4 p. m. in the states of the
Kocky Mountain district it is 3 p.
m. here. The time difference in our
favor in regard to news from Eurone
is still greater. It is thus that The
Guard will be enabled to giva to its
readors daily the complete news of
the world for that day.
State News Service.
The Guard's Associated Press ser
vice will include, exclusively for this
territory, a state leased wire service.
This wire will bring in dally the news
of Oregon. This state news service
was recently organised by the As
sociated PreBS for Oregon afternoon
newspapers. Already it has attained
to a high degree of efficiency. It is
constantly extended and strengthened.
It is with great pleasure thst The
Guard brings to its readers the As
sociated .Press service, because it
knows that in so doing it is offering
10 mem the best In the world.

OF
PACT CAUSES
Default Clause In Dawes
Plan Confused "With Tha
Treaty Of ; Versailles;
French Shun 'Alliance.'
By DAVID M. CHURCH
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
LONDON, July 18. An American
again today held the center of the
European stage in the roll of peace
maker. Colonel James A. Logan Jr., unoffi
cial American observer on the repara
tions commission has " advanced a
compromise plan for working out
sanctions and their application under
the Dawes plan, and it Beeraed likely
both France and, England would ac
cept them.
England and France have held wide
ly different views on the question of
sanctions, the former endeavoring
first to protect the investors in the
proposed $200,000,000 loan to Ger
many, while France had Insisted that
the reparations under the Versailles
treaty and subsequent pacta should
be the first consideration
Reports Not Completed.'
'.The allied conference again post"
poned the full session today to give
the sub-committees further time to
complete their reports. In the most
important of these committees ap
pointed to work out the plans of sanc
tions a deadlock had been reached be
tween France and England.
Philip Snowden, British member,
presented a memorandum on sanctions
which France would not accept. Pier
etti Delia Rocca presented one for
France which England would not ac
cept. . i
Into this situation Colonel Logan
tossed his compromise and it was re
ported to be acceptable to France,
Observers say that he has probablv
Insured the success of the conference.
The French memorandum proposed
that In case of Germany being declar
ed in default by the reparations com
mission, "the intcre'sted. government'
Immediately confer to take prompt
and effective sanctions Insuring an
early end of the default and a return
to the execution of the Dawes plan."
' It added the phrase "so as to safe
guard both the lenders ( under tha
proposed loan) "and of reparation for
the damages sustained by the allies."
Snowden declared this confused de
fault under the Dawea plan with de
fault nnder the Versailles treaty. He
offered a plan with the following
remedy in case of default: i
American's Sujgeitlos.
"The governments interested act
ing as the Joint trustees tor the finan
cial Interests for persons who lend
money upon the lines of the Dawea
plan, will confer at once as to how
to put In operation such measures as
they shall agree to take to protect
themselves and the Investors."
Both plans provided for the appoint
ment of an American as "agent gen
eral" of reparations, and as It has
already been proposed that an Eng
lishman be named to the reparations
commission to represent the bondhold
ers, the French felt they would be
left at the mercy of an "Anglo-American
alliance."
