Science Is Not the
-mr -w- -yASHixc.TO.v a y-At
W statement holding that
there is no antagonism be
tween science nml religion
is issued here as representing the con
clusions of a group of 40 distinguished
Americans on a subject which recent
ly has aroused bitter und widespread
controversy.
The names of two cabinet officers,
Secretaries Hoover and Davis, three
bishops and many others In positions
of leadership in the political, business,
scientific and religious worlds are at
tached to the declaration, which was
prepared by R. A. Milllken, director
of the Norman Bridge Laboratory of
Physics at Pasadena, Cal.
"The purpose," said an accompany
ing explanation, "Is to assist In cor
recting two erroneous Impressions
that seem to he current among cer
tain groups of persons. The first Is
that religion today stands for me
dieval theology; the second that
science Is materialistic and Irre
ligious." The statement follows:
"We, the undersigned, deeply re
gret that in recent controversies there
has been a tendency to present science
and religion as Irreconcilable and an
tagonistic domains of thought, for in
fact they meet distinct human needs,
and in the rounding out of human life
they supplement rather than displace
or oppose each other.
Crowder Evidently
Gen. Enoch II. Crowder, whose
name is a household word In America,
has evidently been doing good work in
Cuba as United States ambassador.
Within the past twelve months the
Cuban government by following his rec
ommendations has been able to effect a
remarkable Improvement In national
finances. This has made enemies for
him among those who have lost their
easy Jobs.
All of which presumably accounts
for reports from Cuba that Ambassador
Crowder was about to resign and go
home. However, the State department
has formally denied the reports.
"Ambassador Crowder enjoys the
fullest confidence of President Harding
and of the State department," It was
stated. "There is no foundation what
ever for reports that he will either re
sign or be withdrawn."
After his draft duties were over
General Crowder went to Cuba, at her
request and with the permission of his government, to supervise the revision
of her suffrage laws, a very Important duty, because suffrage is the foundation
of most of the Latin-American political troubles. When this Job was done he
was assigned to Cuba as the special representative of President Harding. So
he knows Cuba from sugar to graft.
General Crowder Is a rather under-sized man, perfectly straight. He can
swear proficiently In English, Spanish, French, Italian and Tagalog.
Canada's Minister to United States
iIIE appointment of a Cana
dian minister plenipotentiary
at Washington, which has been
under advisement by succeed
ing Canadian governments for four
years. Is unlikely to be made until
after the Imperial conference In Lon
don In October. Such is the Intima
tion in official circles both at Ottawa
and Washington.
The proposition originated when
Sir Robert Borden was prime minister
and was the subject of prolonged ne
gotiations with the British govern
ment. When London did not object
to Canada having a representative at
Washington, the British idea in the
first Instance was that such an officer
iliould have only the status of a com
missioner or glorified commercial
.11 gent.
Sir Robert Borden and his govern
ment maintained, on the other hand,
that In view of Canada's part In the
war and the Increased constitutional
status Indicated by their dominion be
ing a sepurate signatory to the treaty
3f Versailles, Its representative at
Washington should be vested with a
standing in consonance with the new
er conception of Canadian dignity.
Uncle Sam Wins
mission. 1 he .niuvwi.
understood that former Prime Minister Bonar Law previously had opposd a
ettlement of this debt through the reparations commission while the others
were settled outside of the commission. Prime Minister Baldwin shares this
opinion, according to British sources, but be believed the United States' friend
ship more important than to win the diplomatic dispute.
Of course there are those who hold that the I'nired States, In securing this
settlement, is definitely drawn into the reparations tan. !-. But pr 'In opinion
seems well satisfied with the agreement for the payment of the bill.
mm
Foe of Religion
"The purpose of science Is to de
velop, without prejudice or precon
ception of any kind, a knowledge of
the facts, the laws and the processes
of nature. The even more Important
task of religion, on the other hand,
is to develop the conscience, the ideals
and the aspirations of mankind. Each
of these two activities represents a
deep and vital function of man, and
both are necessary for the life, the
progress and the happiness of the hu
man race.
"It is a sublime conception of God
which is furnished by science, and
one wholly consonant with the high
est ideals of religion, when It repre
sents Him as revealing Himself
through countless ages In the devel
opment of the earth as an abode for
man, and In the age-long Inbreathing
of life Into its constituent matter,
culminating In man with his spiritual
nature and all his godlike powers."
Those whose names were attached
to the statement Included Bishops
William Lawrence and William Thom
as Manning of the Episcopal church,
and Bishop Francis J. McConnell of
the Methodist Episcopal church; Ir.
Charles W. Walcott, president of the
National Academy of Science; Pres
ident Angell of Yale, President Bur
ton of the University of Chicago, and
Dr. W. T. Mayo.
Quite Busy in Cuba
Finally this view prevailed and an
agreement was made whereby the
Canadian minister should have pleni
potentiary powers and also should be
the deputy of a British ambassador li:
case of his absence. No appointment
was made, however, the reason as
signed being that a suitable man for
the position could not be found.
Since the government changed in
1921 the matter has remained in statu
quo. The reason put forth by the lib
erals was also the difficulty of secur
ing a man properly equipped Intel
lectually, diplomatically, and material
ly particularly the last for the post.
The government, however, has Indi
cated that the proposal of the Cana
dian minister being deputy of the am
bassador was not to their liking, It
being feared that complications might
readily result from such action.
Another consideration Is the atti
tude of the other dominions and how
they would regard Canada having a
representative there with plenipoten
tiary powers, although the adjacency
of this dominion to the United
States places it In a position ut
terly dissimilar from the rest of the
British commonwealth.
Diplomatic Triumph
Eliot Wadsworth, assistant secre
tary of the treasury, appears to have
won a clean-cut diplomatic victory for
the United States. Anyway, represen
tatives of the United States, France,
Great Britain, Italy and Belgium have
signed an agreement on the American
army of occupation costs, amounting to
$2.0,000,000 at Paris. The United
States wins every article which has
been the object of contention In the
last three months, gains a concession
on priority, and succeeds In suppress
ing the objectionable codicil tacked
on by the British and French which
denied America's light to collect mixed
claims.
'Eliot Wadsworth, for the United
States, Sir John Bradbury, for Eng
land, M. Tannery, for France, Slg.
Dumello, for Italy, and M. Bemelmans,
for Belgium, are the signatures on the
document. Except Mr. Wadsworth, all
are members of the reparations com-
credlted with the allies' yielding. It Is
STATU MARKET AGENT
DEPARTMENT
(C. E. Spence, Agent)
Thero is considerable open talk
throughout the state and nation, some
of which is expressed in the news
papers, that real remedy for the low
prices paid to farmers for their pro
ducts is in less production limiting
production to the point where forced
demand will guarantee growers fair
prices. The National Wheat Council
of Chicago sends out an open letter,
to the editors of the agricultural
press in all states, under date of July
2, which outlines the discouraging
market situation and states: "This
condition will last until, through
knowledge of the facts, both produc
tion and consumption approximate a
balance in the United States."
The market agent department be
lives that consumption of almost all
farm products could be very greatly
increased if the two-thirds added
cost between what the farmer gets
and the kitchen pays could be re
duced, or largely divided between
producer and consumer.
The price of flour and its many
by-products are entirely out of pro
portion to the wheat price the grower
gets. Much more flour would be
used in many forms of home baking
if the cost was lower, as also the
cost of sugar and the other ingre
dients that go with baking and cook
ing. Hood River applo growers stale
that, last fall they sold much of their
fruit at below the actual cost of pro
duction and that if the present mark
eting outlook does not improve many
of the growers in that section will
fail. Four times as many apples as
are now eaten would bo consumed if
the families could buy them at prie.es
their family budget would permit.
Consumption of almost every kind
of fruits and vegetables would be
doubled if the retail prices were not
so high that the most of the pro
ducts are removed from the family
necessity list. And even the list of
absolute necessities would be greatly
increased in volume if the retail
prices were lowered.
A speaker at a recent Grange
meeting said of this situation:
"It is not over-production but tinder-consumption.
So many hands
grab a profit off the stuff we raise
that when it reaches the kitchen
table the price is so high the family
cuts the ration."
United States Senator Borah ill a
speech in Portland July 11, made the
startling statements that out of the
2 2 and one-half billions of dollars of
farm products produced in this coun
try in 11)22, the farmers received but
seven and onejialf billions, while the
commission men and other middle in
terests absorbed 14 and one-half bil
lions. Senator Borah truly says that
"this condition will destroy any in
dustry." Sixty-six per cent is too much to
add to the producers' price and have
a normal consumption of any pro
duct. Under such a system much
produce must rot where grown be
cause the retail price is beyond the
common reach of families. But if
this middle expense could be divided
to a large extent between the produc
ing and consuming classes tin-re
would be no cause to curtail produc
tion, as consumption would increase
enormously.
The co-operative movement appears
to be the present remedy for this
condition. Strongly organized, so
that a majority of the product can be
controlled and sold from a central
agency, middle expenses and profits
could bo. cut and the growers given
their just part of the retail price.
Oregon has all that it could dream
of in abundant crops, yet the market
situation looks very dark, for the
reasons that others than the grow
ers manipulate the markets and con
trol profits. A record production
sold at less than production cost ic
not prosperity.
ALBANY COLLEGE ADOPTS
STUDENT SELF HELP PLAN
Albany College, a Presbyterian in
stitution located at Albany, Oregon
has adopted the self help plan for
students who are desirous of working
their way through college. Accord
ing to statements being sent out to
the press any young man or woman
who can raise $100.00 a year to ap
ply on the college expense account,
will be given an opportunity to earr,
the balance. Just what kind of work
is to be provided is not stated In the
press matter being gent out, but
doubtless a letter addressed to the
college will bring full information
along that line.

SAYS FORI) HAS START
OP OTHER CANDIDATES
Ex-Governor John Lind, of Minne
sota, who was visiting in Portland
last week, talked a little back home
politics the other day and among
other things said that Magnus John
son's recent big victory was not due
so much to Magnus himself as to the
fact that the people were just plain
fed up on Governor Preus, who has
been an office holder all his life.
Then, speaking of Henry Ford, he
said that he has a hunch that every
body who rides in a Lizzie is good
for a vote for Ford which is some
nucleus to start with.
"Ford," the ex-governor said, "Is
not in the samo position with any
other candidate. Instead of having
to build a machine for his campaign
he has about a million of them al
ready running."
ARLINGTON ROASTS OF
BIGGEST MULE TEAM
The Arlington Bulletin tells of a
16-mule team drawing seven wagons
loaded with 252 sacks of wheat from
the Weatherford ranch on Shutler
flat driving into that town the other
day and of the excitement tlifl outfit
caused among the inhabitants of the
town.
It was the biggest freight team
that ever came to Arlington, the
Bulletin tells us, and the big come
back of the meek and lowly mule
over the modern motor truck was
considered an epoch in the river
town's hislorv.
Miss Esther Noel left Saturday
for Casper, Wyoming, where she has
been offered a good posiliaon, and
expects to remain in the Wyoming
town permanently. Mrs Neel accom
