In. these, words,. Count Michael Kara-,
lyi, , Hungarian.. premier, described tq
fho United -Press today what he be
lieves should be accomplished at the
ioace congress. The- premier emphasis
ed the fact that he it not socialistic
liimself and that he intends to continue
iis fight against bolshevism, but he
fleclared that he is absolutely convinc
ed that peace must tie soeinl' and eco
nomic as well as political. He strong
ly advocated tha league of nations and
Knid the world must stick to Wilsoa's
11 principles or there would bo anoth
sr war within a few years.
Is Outstanding Figure
Karolyi, a man of noble birth, is
easily theutstanding figure in Hun
garian aflfairs. Practically alone he ac
complished Hungarian independence

can weld the millions of hU people in
to a solid nation.

fi'remior. "pur policy was l ever made
in Vienna or Budapest, but in Berlin.

' ' Now that we hove lost tlio war, a'b
oolutoly our -only, hope is -that Presi

the peace conference. The entente can
not let Hungary 'be crushed. There,

Strike Is Spreading Into In

By James L Miller
(United Proas Staff Correspondent)
Buenos Aires, Jan. 11. The general
strike is part of an anarchistic move
ment which will spread to tho United
States and the rest of the world ui'ilcbe
it is stamped out at once, General Luis
Deliapiane, self imposed military dic
tator told the United Press today. Del
lepiane admitted he is acting on. his
own initiative, but says oe is confident
that President. . Ir.igay.eu.. approy.ca .his
course:
'The trouble is due to Bussian an-1
archists, who used, the . strikers . as a
pretext,", doelared Dollepiano. .
"Tho socialists have withdrawn their
support, to. the movement, which is not
confined. to Argentine. I bolieve; it
will spread to the United States, in!
fact, throughout the .world unless it
is checked now. 1
"Tho military forces at my disposal
at present are not enough to put down
tho movement immediately but. I de
pend strongly upon President Irigoyen
who approves my action.
Can handle Situation.
"I was formerly chief of police B-nd
I know how to cope with the situation.-.
I had no intention and was very sorry
to be instrumental in killing innocents.
Last night's casualties included chil
dren whom the strikers forced to march
in front of them. -;', ' '
"A railway strike will complicate
the situation gud "render it much more
difficult to handle. My soldiers will,
operate tho slaughter housos so tho city
will be supplied with meat."
4)ellepiano has headquarters in the
contral police station. It is guarded by
about a hundred soldiers E-rmcd with
machine guns.
. Strike Spreads.
The general strike is spreading into
the interior, hut no new fightyig-hr,s
developed in Buenos Aires this morning
and the streets were practically desert
ed. The police admitted that fifty per
sons were killed and scores woundd in
last night's rioting.
Although President Irigoyen has sail
ho will not declare martial law, such a
state practically exists now Dellepianes
action is not yet regarded as antagon
istic to the government, but if Irigoyen
disapproves, ho is 'likely to tako some
counter action that will complicate the
situation and render it ' more serious
than the strike. In event this happens,
tho loyalty of the army will determine
tho future.

modern packing houses in this country

The packing company will have the
advantage not only of thc years of ex
perience of Stcusloff Bros, and Curtis
B. Cross in the meat market nr.d pack
ing business, but also in havitij thc
very latest packing hoi:se equipment
and machinery that is manufactured
for the business.
A moilern tafeteria will be installed
at tho plant in order that the employes
mny 'be served with hot dinners at
actual cost. There will 'also be a aiin
dry in connection in order that all out
side! clothing may 'be washed as re
quired by government inspection. All
employes will work in white.
Tha packing plant will be prepared
to consumo all hogs raised within a ra
dius of 30 miles from Salem. It will
establish a hog market here that will
pay top prices for hegs. Heretofore tho
local market could not handle the sup
ply of hogs but with the new plant in
operation, every hog offered here will
be cared for.
Of far greater interest to the aver
age farmer or stock grower is the fact
that tbo plant will establish a public
market. Auction sales can be establish
ed every Saturday for live steel; of all
kinds and the plant will offer free the
use of its corra's, loading sralcs and
trackage. Livestock of whatever kind
may be brought to the plant and eith

The thuught of a city that should
develop tind perfect humanity is as old

city of perfect justice. In it the wise

Almost from tho dr-to of tho publica

of thinking mon have been turned to
ward tho idea of world unity. This
unity should not spring from a world ' plied, within the centor will afford sai

He was 31 years old and among tha

to the director general. After 60 days
he was made assistant director general
and as such has been in ative partsei

Among railroad administration offi
cials Hines is regarded as liberal miad
ed. Borne evn believe him radical It
is pointed out that Hines was one f
the staunehest advocates of increased
