UNITED Press staff correspondent
Berlin, Feb. 6.-Ameriean Ambassad-
or Gerard is awaiting word from Wash
ington regarding details the United
States government has arranged for de-
parture of German Ambassador Berns-
torff before completing his plans for
leaving Germany.
Yesterday Gerard held another
lengthy conference with Foreign Secre-
tary Zimmerman, at that time formal
ly requesting his passports.
With one exception-the socialist or
gan, Vorwaerts-the German press to-
day firmly supported the government in
its determination to continue the sub
marine warfare. 1t was noticeable, how.
ever, that every newspaper comment
referred to the situation as president
Wilson s break with Germany and
carefully avoided use of the word Am
erica.
Bernhard, in the Vossisehe Zeitung,
pointed out editorially today that Presi-
dent Wilson chad changed his mind
about armed merchantmen"
He referred to a purported statement
by Secretary of State Lansing in Jan
uary, declaring that armed merchant
men would be considered as warships,

LITTLE SUPPORT FROM
S. AMERICAN NATIONS
United Press Correspondent
Tells Of Conditions in :
Southern Counties
BY Charles P. Stewart.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Buenos Aires, Feb. 6-President
Wilson is most unlikely to receive much
South American support in his sug-
gestiOn for joint neutral action--.if edi-
torial comment is any standard by
which to judge.
In Argentine it is necessary to diff
ferentiatc between the lower and the
upper class opinion as to America s
step. 1t is noticeable that the former
class-the most numerous--is pro Unit
ed States because it is pro-ally. But
| the upper class controls the policies of
the nation. And it is coldest toward
the United States.
The same situation exists in other
South American republics.
] An editorial in La Nacoin today is
/ typical cf the preponderating opinion
of South American newspapers.
| 1t apitomized the statement of form
ter Foreign Minister Muratore, express
i ing hope that the United States will
''be wise enough to avoid war Jim
plying that she can avoid hostilities if
she wishes.
+ The editorial was likewise typical in
its intention that the United States in
responsible for the present situation,
owing to its alleged attempt to monop-
olizc the credit and prestige Of peace
making. In pursuance with this at
/ tempt, the United States was charged
with defeating the consolidation Of
neutrals which the A. B. G. nations
proposed early in the war to the
i formation of which the United States
at first pledged its aid. The aid was
later withdrawn and the project fel
through. Since that time the United
States IS held to have acted alone ant
on many occasions in such way al
to be directly opposed to South Amer
lea Is wishes in the matter.
La Nacion's editorial expressed thu
belief that the United States was nov
alone.' The expression was taken al
belief that South America would no
Join the Unitetd States.
La Nacion s Influential position ant
the accuracy Of its previous statement
as to Argentine s attitude, coupled
with it's usual reticence and delibera
ton in editorial expression, make thi
ulfecL bIdltultHl ulo5L olBHlllCdul.
The newspaper editorial continued
at is rot for us to decide which ma
tion was responsible for the presen
situation. History will decide. Blu
Germany and the allies are both de
scending most dangerous slopes towar
the depopulation of the world.
"Inexorable winds are pulling tn
United States into the struggle"
La Nacion praised President vii
son s intentions, but added, IF tn
United States is involved the last hop
of universal peace disappears.
Disagreeing with La Naeion, tn

today:

SENATE PASSES BILL
FOR HONEST ADVERTISING

The senate drifted along as peacefully
as Quaker love affair yesterday att
ernoon until senate bill No. 1l6 came
up for third reading and final passage.
1t was q harmless looking little bill
but it sure stirred and rolled the foun-
tains of oratory in some of the SEN
ators for little while. The bill was
introduced by Senator Orton, and was
fathered by the Portland Ad club. 1t
purported to be for the purpose of pro-
hibiting untrue, deceptive and mislead-
ing assertions, representations or state
ments of fact in advertisements. Sen
ator Orton called attention to the neces-
sity of the bill, and that it would
strengthen the hands of the Portland
Ad club which was trying to put stop
to fake advertising. He intimated that
merchants who would not voluntarily
tell the truth about their goods should
at least be prevented lying about them
Eddy indorsed the bill. He said
there had been entirely too much lying
especially about Oregon, which had been
hurt by it. People were induced tt
come here from all parts of the country
under false pretenses. They were tolt
lies about our soil, our climate ant
every thing else. Then when they came
here they were disappointed All Ore
gon needed was to have the truth tolt
about her and if that did not induce
immigration then we had better d.

spain and Switzerland

Washington, Feb. 6.-Spain and Swift
zerland probably will not accede now
to President Wilson S suggestions that
all neutrals sever diplomatic relations
with Germany, according to reliable in
timations here this afternoon.
Their course probably will be based
upon the fact that they are serving re-
spectively~ the interests of America and
Germany.
Ambassador Riano indicated today
that Spain probably would publish by
tomorrow, some indication of her po-
sition, but he was doubtful this would
be a formal answer to President Will
son S formal suggestions to neutrals.
Switzerland probably will take the
same course with Spain.
The likelihood of Spanish rejection Of
Wilson S sugges ions is heightened by
the fact that Spain, appaBntly has been
anxious recently to play larger part
in the ultimate peace maneuvers.
The Spanish ambassador called at
the state department today and confer
red with Counsellor Polk for about thir-
tv minutes. Neither he nor Polk would
discuss what they talked about.
