ROBERT j. BENDER

(United Press Staff CorrespOndent.)
MANCHESTER, England, Dec. 80.
President Wilson gave warming to-
day that America will join no cOmbi-
nation or alliance except a League of
Nations. Addressing 5000 working
men here he declared League OF
Nations must be the great covenant by
which all nations unite .''fOr the MAIN
tenance of the triumphs of right"
wild applause greeted the statement.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-12-30

''The United States has always felt
1t must separate itself from European
politics." Wilson said. ut is not in
terested in European politics now, but
is interested in a partnership of right.
We will Join no combination or power
which is not a combination Of all of
us. We are not interested in the
peace OF Europe hut In the peace of
the world. There must be no bal
ai1ce OF power" The great voice of
humanity is abroad in the world. II
any statesman reslsts the compulsion
OF this conscience he will deeply re-
gret IL. We are not obeying parties
but the mandates of humanity"
The President admitted he bent
hope that individual items Of all
peace settlements will be satisfactory.
He said no man knows positively just
what these settlements will be, but
provision must be made for adjust
ment of the difficulties in the future
so that troubles may be considered
when they are little, and are not al
lowed to grow big. Having been
made an honorary citizen, President
Wilson opened his speech by address
ing his audience: "Feliow citizens of
Manchester" Wilson declared the
spirit of sympathy between the peo-
pie of America and Britain is no mere |
sentiment but Is based on principle. |
History alone can comprehend the |
stupendous effort OF America" he as
serted during his speech. The crowd !
showed what they thought OF Presi- |
dent Wilson by singing For He's Il |
Jolly Good Fellow" The workmen
then gave Mrs. Wilson special cheer.
Wilson carried his peace message
into the hRart of England's industrial
center when he addressed the work
ingnen in Free Trade hall. He was
received with widest enthusiasm
From early morning the streets were
thronged in anticipation of the Presi- |
dents appearance. He, and his Inn I
mediate party arrived here from Car
Isle late yesterday spending the night !
as guests of the Lord Mayor. Wilson !
rose early and started for the hall at
$3.50. He was made an honorary citi-
zen of Manchester at the town hall.
Going to Free Trade hall, he delivered
his second formal public address in
England. He was given a great ova-
tion as he rode throught the streets.
The President appeared to enjoy the
freedom from the semi-restraint of
the regal atmosphere of London. His
adaptability was never more apparent
than today.

The Germans disarmed them after

SENATE RUSHES WORK
ON REVENUE TAX BILL
La Toilette Reserves Right to Offer
Certain Amendments.

Rapid progress in the consideration
OF the revenue bill was made by the
Senate yesterday. When the session
had ended most of the important tax
rates in the bill, including those on war
excess profits and incomes. had been
adopted without opposition.
Senator LeFollette reserved the right
to offer amendments to each of these
sections, however. It is probable he
will have the amendments perfected
today, in which case the Senate will
again consider the rates on incomes
and war profits and vote on the amend
ments.
During the debate yesterday. Sena-
tor Simmons disclosed the fact that
the government is counting upon two
sources of revenue which have not
been hitherto discussed. One OF these
is the hypothecation Of the bonds of
the Allied governments, which are held
10 secure the loans made by the United
States to the governments, and the
other is the indemnity which II is ex-
pected the United States will receive
in the final settlement with Germany.
Senator Penrose addressed the SEN
ate on the bill, endorsing all the fea-
lures except the provisions fixing the
tax limit for 1870 at S4,Ooo, ,OoO, opO. He
said it was impossible to make assafe
prediction at this time regarding the
conditions during the fiscal year 1919.
and for that reason believed it unwise
to enter into the 1918 measure the tax
rates for the following year.

For Colds and Grippe
Doctors Find Remedy

Physicians and druggists are elat-
ed over the fact that they have at
last found a genuine and dependab BILE
remedy for colds, sore throat and Ia
grippe. For years they have de-
pended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine, but
unfortunately many people would
not take 1t because Of its nauseatine
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical
chemists have perfected a nausea
less calomel tablet called "Calotabs"
whose medicinal virtues are vastly
improved, the doctors and druggists
are claiming that Calotabs are the
ideal remedy to abort a cold over
night and cut short an attack of
sore throat or relieve la grippe.
They are also finding II most ef-
fective as the first step in the treat
ment OF pneumonia.

and instead of distributing our goods
more quickly. they are really slow
ing up the process.
We believe that we can serve you
better now by reverting to our for
mer policy of shipping exclusively

Immediately, no more drop ship
ments will be made.
While we have put on a night
shift and have, thereby, about
doubled our production, we are still
unable to fill our back orders and
won't be able to give each jobber
all the VapoRub he wants. Hence,
it will be necessary for the jobbers
to continue distributing VapoRub in
small lots only. But we will be able
to furnish each jobber at least twice
the quantity of VapoRub that he
purchased for the corresponding
month last year, so there should not
be any difficulty in your getting
your pro rata share.
We feel that the public appre-
ciates the service that the retail
and wholesale drug trade have rem
dered the country in this time of
stress. We wish to express to both
branches of the trade our thanks for
the kind cooperation extended us in
our efforts to meet this emergency.

KNOX OPPOSES
NATIONS LEAGUE
Has Bill in Senate Postpon.
ing All Discussion Of
Plan Indefinitely.

One Of the most important of the
issues involved in the peace settlement
will be disposed of today by the For
eign Relations Committee of the Sem
ate when 1t takes up the Knox reso-
luton calling for the postponemen'
Of all discussion on the subject of a
league OF nations.
1t is scarcely probable that the COM
mittee will act favorably upon the
resolution. Senator Knox himself is
not hopeful of getting 1t from the
committee with a report in favor OF
its adoption. There are too many
Senators on the committee who are
staunchly standing by the President
to permit measure to go out from
the committee which might in any
way embarrass President Wilson in
his talk with the foreign peace dele
gates.
The best that Senator Knox can
hope for apparently is that the reso-
luton may be sent back to the Senate
without any recommendation. If a
majority of the committee votes to
table 1t, there probably will be a
minority report in which Senators
Knox, Lodge ana possibly Borah and
Smith of Michigan will join.
Many of the Senators who are men,
bers of the Foreign Relations commit
tee are of the belief that the peace
treaty itself will contain no refer
ence to the league OF nations idea nor
TO the freedom of the seas and other
points in the Presidents fourteen prin-
ciples OF peace; they believe that the
peace treaty will deal only with the
settlement with Germany. and that II
the other IDEAS are brought up at all
they will come in the form of sub
seQuent conventions or agreements
among the allied powers.
In other words. 1t is believed by
Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the
committee and others, that instead of
there being one treaty there will be
a series Of treaties. II Is because Of
this belief that many OF the Senators
feel that the Knox resolution would
be untimely now and are disposed to
prevent it from reaching the Senate
at this time.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF

The United States must return to
the policy of a protective tariff dur

thereafter, Senator Penrose. ranking
Republican on the Finance Commit
tee, declared in debating the revenue
bill yesterday.
Our success in the war, Penrose as
serted, was due in large measure to
the nations industrial strength,

impossible without our protective
policy of nearly sixty years.
Should the greater part of all in

said, 'be taken by the government to
defray the cost of the war and de-
mobilization, but one result is In
evitable-the absolute cessation of all
extension and development of bust
ness. the suspension of work involving
initiative and the stagnation of indus

Penrose said he decided to go as far
as possible in raising our war bill
