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. Here It Is; .Mere ngrre-
t, ment may not make peace secure. 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." ,

AMERICAN SHELL GAME .
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

10 BE BIG FACTOR
A big now fruit concern has been
organized here and will bo known as
the Karl Fruit Company or the
Northwest. 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. Portland

The labor conference in session
here unanimously adopted a resolu

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

The resolution also demanded that
tiie British plenipotentiaries sloti!d
include an adequate number of par
liamentary representatives of organ

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
