COMMITTEE TAKES
NIGGARDLY POLICY
TOWARDS HOSPITAL

SALEM. Jan. 29.-(Special to the
East Oregonian. 1.-The ways and
means committee last night cut off
S47.5O0 from the budget of the East
ern Oregon State HosDital, leaving
total of s24O.7O0 for maintenance and
$25,5OO for improvements. The ma
jority of the committee accepted the
view of Senator Patterson of Salem
that there is no need to figure main-
tenance on the high cost basis of the
last two years. He predicted a big
drop in food prices within a year.
DR.. w D. McNary, superintendent
at the Eastern Oregon State Hospital.
expressed some surprise at the action
OF the ways and means committee
From statements made by members
when they We're here recently, he was
of the belief the budget would stand
with but slight change. The budget
was based on an estimate per capita
cost of $50 whereas in previous years
the institution has had a per capita
cost of from SIG to $17. OF the sum
cut from the budget. $4,000 was for
preparing the basement undar the
new wing. The loss of this money
will not affect the maintenance fund.
DR. McNary intimated today that
he will proceed as i'm the past with all
possible economy but will not lower
the living standard at the institution.
He proposed to use the funds allowed
as long as they last but looks for a
deficit unless. there should be a
marked reduction in living costs.

TRUSTEESHIP OF FOE
COLONIES CONSIDERED
BY WILLIAM PHILLIp sIMMs

BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS
Omitted Press staff Correspondent
PARIS. Jan. 29.-President Wilson
is expected to insist that disposition of
the German colonies as well as all
territorial questions be settled strictly
according to the principles of the
league of nations. This would entail
the administration of conquered colo
nies by the league, possibly under the
trusteeship of the nations directly af-
fected.
That Australia and Japan would re-
new their fight for undisputed pos
session of certain Pacific colonies and
territories wrested from Germany,
when the peace bureau resumed its
sessions this morning, was regarded as
practically certain, but Wilson is un-
derstood to have the backing of Brit
ain and 1t is believed Anglo-American
pressure will be too formidable for
successful opposition, as has been the
case in all important questions taken
up by the delegates TO date
Dlffichltics in Administration.
Premier Hughes. of Australia, pre-
Isented a strong military argument il

German New Guinea and Samoa, il

the difficulties Australia would face
lin trying to administer the newly con
lquered section of the island as a leagu,
trust, while administering the remain
der as an actual possession.
/ Delegates considered the applica
ltion of the league of nations princi
piles to the problem. There is no sc
cret that they found difficulty in re
conciling the two view points.

TREATIES
CANCELLED
BY LEAGUE.
SENTIMENT OvERRULES
TERRITORY AMBITIONS
BY FRED FERGUSON


Omitted Press staff Correspondent)
PARIS, Jan. 29.-Secret treaties af-
fected by the allies before America
entered the war, which are generally
accepted az constituting the most
serious menace to q democratic and
permanent peace. are invalid. They
were swept away by acceptance of the
armistice teFms. including President
Wilson's IA points. his speech of jan
nary 8, and subsequent speeches, and
were donhly nuIlified when the allies
agreed 10 the principle OF a league Of
nations.
The United Press is able to state
this on authority of the highest in
ternational iaw experts in Paris. Ac-
cording to them, the terms of the ar
mistice are binding and supersede
every previous agreement
League Cancels All.
The armlstice, therefore is the only
treaty that can probably be consider
ed in the peace conference. The
formation OF n league of nations will
make certain all old UNDERSTANDINGS"
be cancelled and the American people
consequently need entertain no fear
TINT secret treaties will interfere
with their proper peace settlement
Affects Territory Problem.
The authoritative opinion is especi-
ally significant in view of the discus
sion OF territorial claims. 1t probably
explains the confidence in certain
quarters that the imperialistic ambi-
tions of some of the associated pow
ers will not be considered.
Reports have been published OF a
secret treaty between Britain and ia
pan in 1915. giving Japan the right
70 retain the Caroline and Marshall
island groups. 'Srhe Post OF London
also made certain concessions to Italy.
especially regarding Dalmatia
Italy is understood to have already
agreed to the readjustment of her
frontiers on lines of nationality, thus
practically repudiating her contribu-
tion to tn esecret treaties. japan is
stiI making n fight for the realiza-
tIon OF her colonial claims, but 1t is
believed certain the ambition will be
overwhelmed by a virtually unani-
nously determination to make the
league of nations n repository for all
territorial disputes.

BOND BROS. PURCHASE

profit but simply to clear the build
