The recommendation of former President Wilson, the statement con- tinued, was made after the governor general of the Philippines had offi- cially certified to congress and the president that a stable government had been established. “It is a fact, therefore,” the state- ment. continued, “that immediately prior to the coming into power of the present administration the Philippine question was onthe eve of soltu- tion. 2° © “We beg to submit that the Bid months that have elapsed since the new administration ‘assumed office have not altered the situation. same stable government exists.

It cannot, therefore, but have the same meaning.” No American body or official, not even the Wood-Forbes mission, which was described as “unwarrantatty se- vere and critical” in its report, has denied the stability of the Filipino government, the mission declared. “Yt is admitted by the Wood-Forbes mission that order had been properly maintained and that our insular police or constabulary ‘has proved itself to be dependable and thoroughly “effi- the statement continued. “The insular, provincial and munic- ipal governments of the Philtppines rest on the free and peaceful suffrage of the people.

MIDWEST PUMPS TO BE USED ON WESTERN PIPELINE, POLICY OF NEW OIL CARRIER IS OUTLINED _’ Arrangements were concludeé today whereb: the pump- ing facilities of the Midwest Refining Shaan at Salt Creek will be utilized by the Western Pipeline company in trans- porting oil from that field to the local statie o7 the pipeline company, according to James R. Jones, genera} counsel. The following statement was given out by Mr. Jones this morning: ‘For tlie next two years the Midwest Refining company will furnish the pumping facilities for the odmmon car- tier pipeline which the Western com- pany is building from the Selt Creek field to Gasper. The Midwest com- Pany already has ample pumping facil- ities for both lines. For this service and for the use of the surplus capucity of its gathering system already in the field, the Midwest will recetve approx- imately half of the pipeline tariff rate, and it will also have the right to util- ize without charge the Western's lire to the extent of the line's capacity above 15,000 barrels a day. In addition the Western purchases certain tanks from the Midwest and acquires the right to place wires on the Midwest's telephone poles and to erect certain tanks at the Midwest's Salt Creek apd Teapot stations. According to Mr. Jones the matter haa been under negotiation for some weeks between Max W. Ball, president of the Western,eand John D. Clark, vice president of,the Midwest, and the agreement finally: reached was recent ly taken to New York by Mr. Clark and received the approval of the Western company’s backers. ‘The new arrangement will necess!- tate some minor changes in the route of the Western line to carry it thresh the Midwest pumping stations, but its principal features will not be modi- fied. It will operate as a common car- rier for all, will provide tanks for field storage, and will transport oil to its terminal at Casper where storage tanks and loading racks will be pro- vided. When questioned regarding the con- tract at his officy, Mr. Jones said: “The agreement is in every way a businesslike proceeding. It will re- duce the Western’s initial expense by one-half and provide complete pump- ing facilities quicker than they could be installed.’ On the other hand it will enable the Midwest to put its sur- plus pumping equipment to profitable (Continued on Page Two) FOSTERING *Hopper Piague Anticipated In Natrona County “Prepare for the worst grass- hopper year in some time,” an- nounced G.

Dr. Sun Yat Sen, head of the south China government, has fled from his capitol, according to official advices received today. The forces of General Chen Chiung- Ming have occupied Canton and Dr. Sun has sought safety aboard a gun- boat.

Organizations of farmers and other unincorporated associations of individ- uals were said by the council to face the same plight as the trade unioni for it was said that the decision ap- plies to them with equal force as it does to labor unions. Every organ- ized unit, the council asserted, was made liable as such for whatever acts may be done by individual members or groups.
