The Portland Oregonian says
the American government un-
dertook to build an airplane
engine without first consulting
aircraft experts. The Oregon
ian is a plain and unadulterat-
ed liar. The first step taken
by our aircraft board was to
call from Europe the best air
plane experts Great Britain
had and ask them their advice
on the whole subject. This
was stated in a Saturday Eve
ming Post article by Howard
Coffin, chairman of our air
craft board, who knows what
the aircraft board did.

Essential To Peace---Praises Austrian

That Country Is Subservient
(By international News Seryice.)

upon the German position outlined by Count Won Hert-
ling, the German chancellor in his recent address the
reichstag main committee President Wilson today told
joint session of congress
The president reiterated in the strongest language
that the German position makes for continuation of the
war. The Austro- Hungarian attitude is directly the
opposite of that of Germany the president declared and
ne praised the address of Count German but made it
plain that Germanys control and dominance Of Austria
has prevented Austria being frank it must be.
Once again the president declared that there to
be no gng back and that the whole strength of the Unit
cd States is to be devoted to emancipation of peoples
from the threat and attempted mastery Of selfish groups
of autocratic rulers. And again the president
sums up three tests which Germany and Austria must
meet to secure peace, as follows:
That each part of the final settlement must be based
upon the essential justice of that particular case and up
such adjustment likely to bring permanent
That the peoples and provinces not to be barered
from sovereignty if chatcs but that every territorial
settlemet involved in this must be in the interest
and for the benefit of the people concerned.
That all welldefned national aspirations shall be
corded the utmost satisfaction possible without ntroduc
ing perpetuatng old elments of discord.
