We want to be in the clear as to reputations and no volunteer worker has taken acent of money for his own uses,’* Hin statement followed an inter. view with a citizens’ committee of Kirkland, deputized to iavestigate the financial end of the meetingy after repeated rumors that Brown and other floor managers were mis: using funds contributed by afflicted persons and other contributors, “T hope, for myself, that the city of Kirkland sees fit to put in an em- ploye to handle the money,’’ he add? ed, There is nothing that isn't open and aboveboard, but such a move would stop this chatter about graft.’ AM followers of Brother Isaiah, however, were not so certain of spot- leas motives of the volunteer work- ers as was Capt.

The expert advisory commission must pot set the amount of the Ger- man reparations debt, he reiterated. |DON'T WANT TO |BE. TRAPPED | “We are anxious as soon as possi- ble to solve in full accord with our allies the question of reparations in which we are more interested than anybody, but we do not want to be trapped,” Poincaire said, emphat ically. “We will not abandon our rights nor give up guarantees we have taken. We will not tear up the treaty signed by so many nations.” ‘© agree to an Investigation of what Germany can pay now or during « short lapse of time, This is the function of the reparations commission, helped by any experts they may appoint. “The reparations commission is also entitled to frame new ways of payment and to try to find means to restore German finance; but we must not ask them to disavow the decisions regarding the amount that is our due, nor fix definite payments for the future. “How unjust and perilous it would be if tomorrow Germany were freed |from further debt, only to return within a few years to humiliate and |erush us once more. “France confidently signed the treaty of Versailles, tho it was not very satisfactory, because others | promised their aid in event of future aggressions; because also we were promised reparations for all our dam- | ages; but a few months later the finest stones in the building col- lapsed.” Italy Favors US: ~ in World Parley ROME, Nov. 1.—England has sub- mitted to Italy the text of a col- lective invitation to the United States to Join in a solution of the reparations problem, it was an. nounced today.

GROAT BERLIN, Noy. —1.—Chaneellor Gustay Stresemann's patchwork co alition appeared slipping toward a downfall today, All signs indicated the coalition soon will be ‘replaced HUGHES" OFFER - SEEMS DOOMED Little Chance of Acceptance on European Intervention BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS WASHINGTON, Noy, 1.—As vicw- ed from here, Secretary of State Hughes’ latest offer of intervention in Europe hasn't the ghost\of a chance of acceptance. The backbone of the secretary’s Plan, as restated in his aide- memoire or memorandum to Great Britain, made public last night, is to have an international commis- sion decide how much Germany can pay. In other words, it differs In no way from the plan suggested by him nearly a yeat ago which then, as well as it has since, met with a hearty negative from France. And she will refuse again, unless Pre- mier Poincare turns a double som- mersault which no one who knows him expects him to do. As Secretary Hughes insists all the Interested powers must indorse his plan, if America is to help Europe, France's yeto blocks the way. Frence fears such a commission as Secretary Hughes suggests would be swayed by big business which, wanting German trade, would let Germany off easy if it has its way. Another objection to the plan is that it says nothing about how Germany is to be forced to pay whatever may be decided upon by the commission in case Germany feels the amount is stilt too high, The French contention is that ‘Washington should appoint an of- ficial member on the reparations commission already In existence and make its voice heard thru that body, ‘The views here of Lloyd George, together with publication of the Hughes memorandum to Britain, have combined to awaken public opinion, at any rate, to the serious. ness of the situation across the At lantic. Secretary Hughes’ sugees- tion that it is “imperative” that something should be done and that right away “to prevent economic disaster in Europe, the consequences of which would be world wide,” shows that Washington is at least alive to the danger of dallying. People are asking why the memo was put out now, foredoomed to failure as it appears. They are wondering if the state department has information leading it to believe something is about to happen to make the plan acceptable. Or, they wonder, is it just a political man- euver to satisfy the growing de- mand that America dg something be sides logk on passively while Europe erumbles? either by a reacttonary regime or an actual dlétatorship, with prob- ably Stresemann at its head. The chancellor, it was said, is am- bitious to rule without socialist afd, Should today's negotiations to save the coalition succeed, there © wag every indication its fall can only be averted temporarily. A crisis in the near future was considered inevitable. TRAVEL BY STAGE PORTLAND DAILY FARE 10:15 am $6.50 Reservations must be made xt Jowat one hour before leaving time.
