T PRESIDENT'S PLEA E WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G. The world peace uddrcsH of President Wilson to the senate was Interpreted by Ellhu Root In a speech hero last night as an admission that there Is uo way out of war except by prepara tion for war, and an a denunciation of the course of Germany, lie said he was In full sympathy with the purposes of the speech, which con tained "such noble Idealism." Mr. Root spoke before the Xatlou nl Security League congress of con structive patriotism, beginning a three daya session. Ho appealed for a return to the "basic principle upon which this government was founded" universal military service as the only adequate measure of defense. Amer ican freedom was threatened, he de clared, by the peoplo of "liberty of national evolution," asserted by Germany, the application of which had meant tho overwhelming of Ser bia and Belgium, nnd which If ap proved by tho world, will mean that our American freedom will surely ( dio, and dlo while wo live." I Taking up tho primldout's address, Mr; Boot said: t "The president has recontly mado 1 n speech In the sonalo of which we j have all been reading, and I wish you ( to ohsnrvo thai tho only way ho seeR c out of the war that is devastating ' Kuropo is by preparation for war. 1 There Is much noble Idealism in his speech. With Its purpose, I full I sympathize. Til's kind of peace he , describes is tho pence that I Ion-; (or. , But the way he sees to preservo that '. pence is by preparation for war. Now, If some of our friends among tho corn fields, and the cotton fields and the mines and tho citrus fruit c orchards, will set up and read tills I elnuso of the president's speech, tell ( ing how we may prevent, further o wars, they may have reason to wou- dor whether they haven't forgotten ( something.

It , will bo absolutely necessary Hint a fi forco be created os a r.unrnnli'e o fj the permanency of the settlement, so much greater Hint tho force or any s nation now engaged or, alliance hith erto formed or projected, thai no nn- I Hon, no probable combination of uu ( Hons, could face or withstand It. If I the peace presently to be made is to endure it must bo a peace made secure by tho trguul.'.cd major force . of mankind. ' 'INow I hope that ruramaph means I what I hope It does. 1 do not under stand it as Intended to commit the ( Cnlted States to cuter Into a enliven ,; Hon or treaty with the other civilised I countries of the world which will bind tho United Stales to go to war Without the people of the I'nlted I States having an opportunity to say whether they will no to war or not. "What I understand by It. that a convention shall I'm made bv the whole civilised nations should aigi-co with all their power tu stand behind the maintenance of peace thus agreed upon and It that peace be Infringed upon then under the sanction of that agreement, each nation shall deter mine. what Its duties are toward the maintenance of that pence. Hut ob. servo that that Is worthless, mean ingless, unless the nations that enter into It keep the power behind it. it will be a worthless agreement on our ; part, If we haven't a ship or a soldlei 1 that we can ccr.'.rlbule to t;,c ,, i; ' war there ought to be. for the main lj tenance of thai pence, i' "And It absolutely requires that we shall build up force, potential .!': power of arms, commensurate with our alio, our numbers, our wealth, our dignity, our part among the. na- Hons of the earth." , , Eslrny Xotliv.

SECKETAHY JJANIl'XW inasmuch as the l!i'itih mission to the lladliclds Limited, of Sheffield, England, to make shells contracted for by the United States gov ernment until tlie war ended, the department will begin the erection of its own projectile factory to stop the exactions of the American munition trust, which displays its patriot ism by liberally contributing to the "preparedness" propa ganda, and trying to hold up Uncle Sam. Iladfields' Limited, of Sheffield, England, submitted bids on IG-inch shells at K! per shell. The lowest Amer ican bidder wanted $77") per shell. Furthermore, the Brit ish concern offered delivery in sixteen months, while the American firms want. to take thirty-six months to do the work-. The fact is that American munitions manufacturers are so busy with profitable war orders that they do not want to supply their own government with shells. Their patri otism is of that variety which requires to be excessively stimulated witli gold to make it work. AVe are getting tired of that kind of patriotism. The American navy must, be built up and must be supplied with munitions, and we haven't got thirty-six months or any other months longer than the shortest possible time in which these shells can be manufactured. Furthermore, we don't want In have to depend upon a foreign niunitioiis- niakinir concern it. subijlv the nition. There is just one way out, and Secretary Daniels real izes it. The last naval bil - the building program of Aug ust 21), iDlo'-- provided i 1 , J 1 1 ,'212 for erecting a govern ment plant for the manufacture of projectiles. A begin ning has been made on this plant, and Secretary Daniels is about to ask corgress to double the appropriation for the projectile plant. Congress should not hesitate to do it. Furthermore, congress ought to realize that the greater the facilities which the government itself has for manufacturing its own munitions, the more likely the government will be to get reasonable bills for furnishing such supplies. "We have put up with dollar patriotism about as long as we can stand it. Meanwhile, the Bethlehem Steel is cutting fabulous "melons'' and . advertising liberally throughout the land in the effort to prevent the erection of the government's competitive plant. CHAMP CLARK'S CANDIDACY TP HE best thing about Champ Clark's announced eandi- A daey for the democratic presidential nomination in 10'JO is that it probably cannot survive the four years it must live. J lie worst thing about it is among democrats throughout act upon democratic congressmen. This will greatly increase the difficulties of President- Wilson and the dem ocratic leaders in congress in working out a consistent legislative program. -., , , . It is to be expected that Clark will use his great influ ence with a ceitain element in the lower house to further the interests of his candidacy. so evenly divided between the that even under the most Javorable conditions it is going to be difficult for the democrats under 1he president's leadership to redeem the party Clark has the same right to the presidency, but the into the delicate situation that exists m congress simply adds another to the many reasons which seem to disqualify mm tor the ollice. Clark has never forgiven ing his ambitions at. the Half will be remembered that during several davs on everv bal lot he had a majority, and tion to deleat liuiihc undoubtedly would have secured the necessary two-thirds. To what extent Clark's unexpected announcement at this earlv date is due to his wish to em barrass the president, in a knows. Hut talcing into account all not but susped iherc is a good me suriace. y lari-c s ciiances president would be enhanced if his public activities gave evidence of.' more statesmanship and less politics. 10 WASHINGTON". .Ian.

PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. :C Recommendations for the construc tion of a modern state penitentiary costing $GuO,004 and the creation or a non-salaried commission of three to administer its affairs wore contained In a report forwarded to Governor James Wilhycombe at Salem from huro today by a committee rcconlly nppoiutcd to nii(ko a survey of the Oregon state prison at Salem.

The organization In cludes three of the best known and most successful fruit dealers In the, northwest. Its operations will extend over nil of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana. Joseph Do Giorgio, president of the Karl Fruit company of California, lias been elected president of the. new concern. He has associated with him K. V. Martin as district field niunu gor. P. A. I'cinhtim as general man ager nnd Wilnier Sieg as general sales manager. Mr. Martin, who is probably one of the best known fruit men in the northwest, is now making tlie rounds of the territory to be embraced by the new concern and acquainting himself with all detiiiki of the industry. l A. Pernham, as general mana ger of the coniimny, will make his headquarters in Spokane. He Is now on his way to attend the Western Kruit Jobbers convention which will take plnee in New Orleans January 2 0, .10 and SI. At the close of the session there, ho is expected to conic to Ihe northwest to' nine arrango nients for Ihe opening of business for the new company. Vlliner Seig will assume bis duties as 'general sales manager for the new company as seen as he can ar range to be relieved from his present position. It1 Is- generally conceded by the big men In the fruit business that Mr. (liorglo. president of the Ksrl Fruit Company of the Northwest, by bringing this trio into his company, ban assured himself of the same com plete success that has attended nil his previous operations. Wherever Mr. lUorglo and his associates have operated, their success has reflected npon the growers for the general prosperity of the country. Business of the Karl Fruit company has al ways meant better returns for the growers nnd what these men have done for fruit growing communities elsewhere, they propose to do for pro ducers of the northwest.

The labor conference in session here unanimously adopted a resolu tion urging that "all the Ilrltlsh rep resentatives at the peace conference should work for the formation of an international league to enforce Ihe maintenance of peace on tiie plan ad voiated in the note of President Wil son and approved by the British for eign secretary." The resolution also demanded that tiie British plenipotentiaries sloti!d include an adequate number of par liamentary representatives of organ ized labor. The mover of the resolution re marked that many words had been spoken about Russia, but It should not be forgotten that It was Russia that initiated The Hague-conference.
