LONDON, May 14.-Andrew Bonar
Law. chancellor Of the exchequer, made
an important announcement in the
house of commons Monday. the Times
says. when in reply to a question by
Sir Edward Carson, he said the British
government intended to adopt a policy
Similar to that of the French govern
ment in denouncing all commercial con-
ventions containing a general clause
regarding most favored nations"
Such a step. the Times declares in
its editorial comment. will leave Great
Britain free in matters of fiscal policy.
Up to this time the United Kingdom
has ben bound by commercial treaties
with allied and neutral countries
guaranteeing reciprocal most favored
nation treatment in fiscal matters
Commercial treaties with enemy
countries were terminated by the war.
SO long as commercial treaties remain
ed in force. the Times adds. IL was i'm
possible for the United Kingdom to
give specially favorabI treatment to
her dominionS or allies in customs
duties on imports o. to differentiate
between countries to which are ex-
ported GOODS of the CniJed Kingdom
TheS" commercial treaties are now
to he denounced. This Genuciation il is
SAID. does not mean necrsSaril that
there will he any radical change in
the fiscal policy of Great Britain but
II makes such a change possible.

PRESIDENT T

WASHINGTON, Dec. s,-Represen-
tative Mann. republican house leader,
today fatty opposed a resolution to
install Vice President Marshall in the
White House while President Wilson
is abroad. He also declared himself
wholly out Of sympathy with the at
tempt to EN- barrass the president while
on the peace mission. He promised
there would be no concerted republic
can attempt in the house to question
the constitutionality Of the presidents
trip. He said faetionaI strife at home
should not be allowed to give the i'm
Preston that the Americans are divid-
ed on the peace issue.
Some Hostility
In the senate. however. there is a
disposition among some republicans
to start Interesting proceeding: Knox
of Pennsylvania, introduced resolu-
tfon declaring extraordinary war pow
ers vested in the president be removed
as soon as possible. It also states
that the United States act in com3Iete
unity with the allies in formulating
the peace terms, and that soldiers in
Europe be returned to America as
quickly as - possible anu tOHSiStS4it
with safety.
The resolution also would define
peace aims. deferring until later the
formation Of a league of nations and
the definition of freedom of the seas.
Sherman of Illinois declared Wilson's
departure, under the constitution, rem
dered his office vacant, leaving con-
gress pOwerless to enact legislation.
He said: 1.-The president of the United
States is not president of France.
There he is but an alien. He has not
any power to transfer, of his own vo-
Iition. the seat of government to some
province which is alien"

Will ASK COUNTY'S
VIEW ON MEMORIAL

The matter of memorial for the
soldiers from Umatilla county was
discussed at some length at the meet
ing of the Umatilla County Patriotic
Service league executive committee
yesterday afternoon. No definite ac-
'tion was taken in the matter as there
is still some doubt if this is the proper
organization to carry on this work.
Since all the members of the exec
utive committee are Pendleton citi-
gems it is felt best to lay the matter
before the district chairmen of the
league, asking them to sound out the
sentiment of their respective districts
to learn whether the making OF the
memorial county wide move is fa-
vored and il 50 what means should be
used to raise the funds. a motion to
that effect was adopted last evening,
