ar Bomb or Dud? Is Harding Administration Just Running a Bluff at Lausanne or Has It Abandoned Timid Policy? (EDITORIAL) CCORDING to news dispatches, Secretary of State Hughes, thru Ambassador-Observer Child, “threw a bomb” into the Lausanne conference by declaring that America demands complete freedom of the Dardanelles. Has Secretary Hughes prevailed upon the adminis- tration to abandon its timid, duty-shirking policy of “hands-off”? Unless Mr. Child was throwing a dangerous diplo- matic bluff, that is precisely what this action does mean. And this is true whether Mr. Hughes means it that way or not; and whether or not America’s spokesmen at Lausanne sign the final agreements. Supposing one day Turkey or Russia or some other power decides to bar the straits to world shipping. On that day the United States will have to back up the Lausanne decision, which it was instrumental in making, else back down amid worldwide derision and contempt. Anybody who knows America can scarcely believe she would back down under those circumstances. Then why in the name of dignity and decency doesn’t the administration take off its false face, behind which it continues childishly hiding? It might as well assume full responsibility for its words now, when words, backed by open responsibil- ity, may possibly mean something. , For later on when action, not talk, is in order, we will be held accountable for Lausanne just the same. : i Unif orm Traffic Laws for U.

They covered more than 10,000 miles tn exploration during thetr first year and established several interior forts, the first on the east bank of |the Okanogan, a few miles above its | mouth, } During the winter of 1811.12, Fort Astoria wan threatened with the name fate am that which befell the crew of the Tonquin, but strategy averted an attack by the Chinooke. In February, 1912, Hunt arrived with hin overland party, practically dow bling the population of the fort Troublesome times began to set in shortly after this, The | ploneers began to get dissatisfied with conditions, and many were about to return to St, Louls when their complacency was re- newed by the arrival of the Heaver, « ship which had been sent out by Astor with fresh sup plies and merchandise. Several expeditions went out from the fort as « result of this renewed activity-—David Stuart returning to the Okanogan to found a new fort while Clark and | McKenzie visited the Spokanes and the Nez Perces to select sites and establish posts, | Meanwhile, however, the war of 1812 had broken ont between England and the United States, | which seriously threatened As- lors operations. News of the declaration of war was brought to Port Astoria by John George McTavish of the Northwert Co., who informed them that @ Brit- ish crulser was being sent to ‘the |mouth ef the Columbia to command | the river. This caused MacDougall |to retire to the mountains, abandon. ing the fort. Later, however, he patched up a sort of truce with Mo- | Tavish, and finally, on Nov, 12, 1814. | permitted the British company to | take possenaion of Astoria—thus end- ing Astor's connection with the Pa- cifle coast venture. | After the stening of the peace | treaty between the United States and | England, however, Astoria—which, tn the meantime, has been renamed | Fort George—was turned back to this country, the American flag being hoteted on October 6, 1817. Binoe then Astoria has enjoyed much the same existence aa the other pioneer posta of the pertod.
