Things are happening fasti A week from today President Truman arrives and the conference closes. At least that is the present plan. Fortunate sre those who will have a place to sleep NEXT week- -j I- iui. l,,,loI,lr,n moti-nnnlla hv thn Golden Gatel ena in una wu wmiwi. - , As it Is and with the weather really summery night and day, scores are now sleeping in ine parm. e . e Before this snnouncement. and the weather change, there was a striking alteration in the atmosphere hereabouts. Amazing what a transformation could have been brought about in a little over a week. When we left here the conference was In the doldrums. On our return it was really hitting in high, with so many public sessions in the Grand Opera House that the snack-bar in the Veterans Building next door, ran out of food and drink. And the sessions were all interesting although the press, at least the local press, paid surprisingly little attention to them. e e e Sneaking of public sessions, few people seem to understand the difference between public sessions and plenary sessions. The "public" sessions are session of the various commissions open to the public, not of the entire conference membership. The denary sessions on the other hand are "full" and open meetings, gatherings of the entire conference membership. There will be several this coming week no aouet, in aaamon to the final Presidential wind-up. The public session dealing with the final draft of the General Provisions section was particularly Interesting. For it brought into sharp relief one of the Inherent weaknesses of this charter, and one genuine and hopeful strength. The weakness is FEAR. The unexpected strength, at least unexpected to the undersigned, is the essentially DEMOCRATIC character of the organization, Including free discussion, open-covenants-openly-arrived-at, what might be termed the town-meet ing character of the present sessions. If this characteristic, maintained far more extensively here than people outside seem to realize, is continued in the function ing of the final product; then there IS genuine hope, that just as great oaks from little acorns grow, a truly GREAT charter of a better world, will grow out of what can only be a modest and imperfect beginning as far as the precise wording of the text of this new League of Nations document is concerned. For the final document functioning In an atmosphere of free snd open debate, will then grow. Just as our present U. S. Constitution has grown through the years, from the first fearful, timid and suspicious Articles of Confederation, to the present time, its present strength and greatness. The subject under discussion was: Whether or not the term "good faith" should be included In the preamble regarding observance of the articles of the document, as advocated by Or. Maria Jesus Yepes of Colombia. The commtltee had reported against it, as being superfluous, not only Implicit in the contract, but to mention it, might create the impression, bad faith among the signatories, should be suspecteo. NOW: Had there been no open discussion, had the members nresent voted without debate, there is no doubt whatever, the report of the committee would have been adopted. Everyone expected that to nappen. But the debate WAS open, and when Dean Gildnrsleeve of the U. S. delegation pointed out clearly and cogently that while the U. S. delegation had originally agreed with the committee tha discussion following had convinced the members that throughout aim-America inis term had a very special meaning and a special Importance, and therefore should be Included In the text; there was as often happens in an open "town meeting" a COMPLETE change of sentiment among those present. Instead of the motion to Include "good faith" being beaten it was passed, mors than tnai it was passed UNAINIMOUSLiYI .;.,. ... ... So when It Is contended as it will he that thl. n, r... . XT.i li., . . . ...... ..-t Bv, tj nign-powerea tnrougn by a small group of the Big Five, over the protests of the small states, we hope this incident, and many of a similar nature, will not be forgotten. That Is not to say that if the Big Powers had opposed this action it would ever have been taken, the Big Powers are in complete control here and that control will confirm, until ih. an, n.. it IS to say, that as a result of free debate and discussion, the conten tion of one of the smallest and weakest powers in the entire congress here assembled was upheld and became a permanent part ot the epoch-making charter, SOLELY as a result of exercising that typically American and democratic function. And, to repeat, if that principle is adhered to in the future, then this final charter, imperfect though it may be in many details, will have the spark of life in it, and it will not only live but grow better and stronger as time goes on. Another interesting thing happened at this same session. Our Old frlenH Dmitri MnnnilcVv .

Certainly those who believed they had weak or an unjust cause would NOT! But that was the final decision regarding the world court. And fear is solely responsible. Fear that if appeal to the court were made compulsory certain nations we won't name them, would never ok the final covenant! Which means, as far as settling disputes serious enough to eaust war by appeals to a world court is concerned, the new tribunal nui m w mua u any use. n.w.K. Letter From Washington Br HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member et Congress From Oregon BRETTON WOODS. Thanks to the leadership and statesman ship of Jesse Wolcott, represen tative In congress from Michi gan, tha bill to ratify the Bretton noods International bank and stabilization fund may be con sidered reasonably palatable. Wolcott, ranking Republican member on the House Banking and Currency committee,, took part In the Bretton Woods con ference. The amendments he sponsored, and which were ac cepted by the committee (only three of the 27 members of the committee voted "no ) set up certain checks and safeguards, snd provided for periodic re ports to congress. The Bretton Woods plan i not a New Deal scheme nor product of a group ot visionaries or dreamers. It is a plan conceived in desperation and born of necessity. It may or may not work successfully. It may or may not cost this country quite a lot of money. But it was drawn by world experts in fin ance and It WILL serve two im portant purposes. 1. The bank portion of the plan will put a stop to the flota tion of phoney or questionable foreign loans by the selling of such "securities" to our citizens. 3. The stabilization fund ts designed to prevent post-war chaos In International currency discounts. Wih this fund plan in existence signed by 44 nations, hard-up eountrlei eannot Juggle their currency valuations so as to order goods shipped from us at one rate of exchange and pay for them at another rate. Nor can any nation Indulge in the bandit practices of the Hitler finance wizards. As I see it, the worst that can be said about the Bretton Woods plan is that "it won't work." Perhaps the best that can hon estly be said about it is that it is a serious and well considered attempt to do something that must be done If possible, a a OREGON BOY MAKES GOOD. A 3S-year-old Ore gonian, Ted Gamble of Port land, is national director of the war finance division of the U. S. Treasury, and carries the addi tional title of assistant secretary of the treasury. In other words, Ted Gamble Is the head of the war bond operations for the na tion, and has been since about the time of Pearl Harbor. That he has really made good in a big way Is proven by the splendid success of the past six war bond drives and the current fine pro gress of the "Mighty Seventh." This week Ted Gamble was the spesker at the regular meet ing of the 78-79 club (new Re public members of the 78th and 79th congresses.) I had charge of the program and was proud to claim Gamble as an Oregon citizen. He made a big hit. Several members told me after ward they thought he presented the best progratn we have had at our meetings and that covers some mighty big ground' a e e CONGRESSIONAL SQUAB BLE. Have you been reading about what bad, greedy people the members of the House of Representatives are for voting themselves money for expenses on the Job? and how noble the senate is for not doing it? Then r.ead the following para graph from the editorial page of the Washington, D. C, "Times Herald": "Nuts to that senate nobility stuff," fuming representatives sre muttering privately about the $2,900 a year tax-free kitty they voted themselves recent ly. Snorting at the senators' "benevolent gesture" In turn ing it down for themselves, representatives point out that the upper chamber boys will be drawing down approxi mately $1,860 a year for long distance telephone calls, $4, 200 a year for travel, and $17, 000 a year for clerical help as against the lower chamber's $9,500 clerical allowance."

Prospect VOTE ON RECIPROCAL TRADE AGREEMENTS. Just to keep the record straight re garding the position taken by Republican members of the house: All but six Republican members (and a goodly number of Democrats) voted to extend the existing law.

What we re fused to vote for was the Demo crats' effort to reduce present tariffs, which are already cut in half by still another 50 per cent. The bill passed the house and is now under consideration by the senate. IOWA COACH Iowa City, la., June 18 (U.R Lt.
