Prom the Inside these days the NRA looks lilt! a house that la being vacated. Only two of the faces which came In with General Johnson remain hanging on the wall li their accus tomed places. They are Deputy Ad ministrator Malcolm Mulr and A- D Whiteside. All the others have left or have been pushed back Into ob scure corners. General Johnson himself Is giving a good imitation of a man getting ready to jump his lease. Helping Hand Jesse Jones Is encouraging bankers to form mortgage companies to help take the ftnanclau load off their necks. , That has been done in at least two large citnes, one in the middle west and one on the Pacific coast. It will soon be done generally. The idea is that the R. P. C. can then help finance the mortgage com panies and the position of the ad joining bank would be materially strengthened. It Is a good policy and the bankers like it. However, it is noteworthy that while the government Is trying to abolish security affiliates it is helping to cre st mortage affiliates. Consistency is no longer considered a Jewel. No As soon as the story got out that Mr. Roosevelt was contemplating mon etary action within a few days, the conservative administration clique j started broadcasting: "No, no, no. rney inspired me current, scries cold water stories, predicting no ac a. tlon. 1 That does NOT change the funda mental situation. One thing essential to monetary action is absolute sec recy. No advance Jiint 'mils-,, be let out of the bag. The secret can best be maintained by creating confusion. So we are having a little synthetic confusion for a while. One yarn the conservatives are passing out is that all devaluation ru mors come from the corner of Broad and Wall streets. That is not true, but the inference behind it is. Those who sent their dollars wing ing out of the country in the general mass flight will profit from devalua tion. If we devalue to 60 cents they can theoretically bring their foreign credit and foreign gold back here at a profit of 40 cents on the dollar. That la deplorable but It cannot be a governing influence In Mr. Roose velt's decl5lon. Other national consid erations are far more important. Bonds The Liberty bond refunding was ap parently a compromise with the ac cent on the last two syllables. Treasury experts worked In secret at several late night sessions, figur ing it out. They reached the conclus ion that the entire six billions could not be refinanced. The bond market could not stand It. But congress had passed the Bone resolution demand ing a reduction In interest rates. Hence the Idea of reducing the In terest rate 25 per cent on one-third of the six billions, not this year, but NEXT. That is supposed to appease those mho have been yelping for reduction in interest payments. The only practical immediate effect 1 to tell the world that there ts NOT going to be any Issue of greenbacks and that the bond market will be pro tected. War I The Russo-Japanese war may be called off on account of cold weather. Our far Eastern prophets confiden- tlally delieve there may be a war in' the spring. But not now. They reason that it is too com to conduct mm- tary operations in Manchuria for the present. There are two inside reasons for the sudden cockiness of the Russians. They have barricaded themselves on the European front by n on -aggression pacts with all their front door neigh bors. Now they are ready to handle the barking dog at the rear. ' Also they have rushed to comple tion the double tracking of the Chin- ese astern ratlwsy.

(AP) Germany boldly announced her withdrawal to day from the League of Nations and the world disarmament conference, This she did because ehe refused to be a nation "of second class rights,". Chancellor Hitler declared and wants "equality and honor." Hitler told the world the German government and people are "animat ed by no other wish than to help end the .human epoch of tragic error, re grettable quarrel, and fight." In a dramatic speech, the chancel lor condemned the post-war Ver sailles treaty, long a thorn In Ger many's side, and contended there is no possibility of territorial conflicts between Prance and Germany." "Traitors of 1918" He poured forth his nation's hopes and grievances. He bespoke the coun try's need for defensive weapons, de clared that "the men who today lead Germany have nothing In common with uhe paid traitors of November, 1018," and said the German people regard themselves as guiltless for the world war. Then, to give the people the chance to express their attitude about these sudden, epochal events, President von Hlndeburg dissolved the relch stag and set new elections for No vember 13. In explaining thla "plebiscite," Hit ler said his government will not "turn a deaf ear to proposals for real peace," but "will welcome every suggestion." "The German people," the chan cellor said, "destroyed their wean ons and fulfilled ther obligations in tho trcattes with really fanatical fidelity. "The political leadership of the na tion at that time, however, was in the hands of men spiritually rooted in the world of victor states. . Want Hatred to End "The German people should righly expect that for this reason alone the rest of the world redeem Its promise, but for 15 years the German people have faintly hoped and expected that the end of the war would finally also be the end of hatred and mis ery. "The purpose of the Versailles treaty has not seemed to give hu manity peace, but rat.her io maintain a fathomless hatred." Then he described as "slave work" the treaty of Versailles and asserted: "The German peoples are the most deeply convinced of their guiltless ness for the war." . The government issued another appeal, also condemning what was called the unwillingness of other powers to give Germany the arms equality promised in Geneva during an earlier disarmament parley In De cember. "As the relch's government sees in this manner of procedure discrimi nation against the German people. as unjust as it Is humiliating." the chancellor's manifesto asserted, "it deems itself unable under the cir cumstances as a second class nation deprived of the rights to continue to participate in the negotiations which thereby could only lead to new dic tates." He declared his nation's "unshak able will to peace," and a govern men spokesman added that "leaving the arms conference does not mean Germany intends to disregard the treaties." Foreign Minister Konstantln Von Ncdrath telegraphed the withdrawal I decision to Arthur Henderson, the president of the league assembly, at Geneva.

Oct. 14. (AP) Out of i little country store, operated by i man who "looks like Buffalo Bill,' and who envisions his actions as part of the rise of a national progressive or third party, came a movement de signed te oust Oregon's governor and inaugurate a general clean-up in the state housa at Salem Saturday. Petitions seeking the recall of Gov ernor Meier will appear in the atate Monday, according to "Colonel" F. W. Stevens, proprietor of a small refresh ment stand on the Eugene-Triangle Lake highway, one mile west of Gold- son. Uiis man wrote the petitions and has been Instrumental In pro moting the recall movement. Stevens claims the movement is sponsored by the Lane County Re ran association, of which be Is treasurer by virtue of having organ ized the association. He denies that truck men are sponsors of the move ment, stating ,they are but one of the many organizations seeking the governor's removal. "The three other signers of the petitions, Earl Lutzenhlser, Gus D. Relnhart and Samuel M. Horton are truck operators, but signed the pe titions as legal taxpayers," Stevens declared, , v . ; Quite) Important Steven. tvbo bears a striking re semblance to the famed Buffalo Bill and who likes to bear out this im pression In his . general appearance, came to this county a little over a year ago, having been a "contractor, builder, architect and soldier of for tune" and he claims to have been raised by Indians. He professes per sonal acquaintance with President Roosevelt. Charging that this state is hopelessly- in debt, Stevens blsmes the governor for not staying in his of Ice in Salem and thus causing extra expense to the taxpayers In trlpa his secretary takes between Portland and Salem. Wild Accusations He charges there are 490 privately owned automobiles In the atate be ing operated: at state expense and he lists one instance In which a state employe confessed to padding his ex pense account to the amount of 2, 000 during the past 14 months. Ask ed If he was prepared to prove these charges, he replied, "Of course. I wouldn't make them If I couldn't prove them."' , Stevens admitted being In com munication with truck operators in Salem Friday, but says he idvlsed them to take no action pending the supreme court decision on the bus and- truck bill. The recall movement la not spon sored by the truck owners. If It was I would not be associated with it, because that would be class legisla tion and that Is what this state needs to keep away from at thla time." he declared. The 74-year old self-styled soldier of fortune further charges the gov- emor of being about to "call a spec- tal session of the state legislature. at the expense of the taxpayers, to do what he should have done with his veto power long ago." . . . . Mysterious Stevens refuses to say how many members there are In tthe recall as sociation or who the 'other leaders are. He saya there has been no reg ular meetings of the association and no election of officers. Many Port land people are interested, he said, but he refused to name any of them. fle also refused to state where the petitions are being printed, saying it was "north of here." Twenty workers will start circula ting the petitions as soon as they come off the press, concentrating In Portland and the other heavily pop ulated districts of the state, Stevens said. SALEM.
