PRESIDENT TO VISIT OREGON in

NATION ON VERGE OF
A Financial CRISIS
Leading New York Bankers
Looking For Serious
Upheayal Soon.

New York, Aug 2s.-(United Press)
A financial crisis is ahead Of ths coun-
try according to leading bankers OF New
York, which may be one of the most
serious situations the country has ever
faced.
There seems to be little doubt in the
minds of Wall street leaders, judging
from views expressed to United Press
reporter, but that the crisis will take a
decidedly political turn. Financiers ex-
pect the radical elements among labor
Headers to make q stand for communism.
While Wall street admits that there
has been a pcrcepitble slowing down On
the part of moneyed interests, bankers
say they are confident of the outcome Of
the issue between labor and capital.
Capital is doing some watchful walt
ing explained one vice-prcsidcnt, con-
nectcd with one of the largest institu-
tions of the country. "Many of our
clients are apprehensive Some are
scared.
ssMany wealthy interests no longer
care about making money. For example.
this morning client was in here, u man
who keeps million dollar account with
lus. He. had drawn mo- interest, and ]
asked him to wait few minutes SO that
we pay him what was due.
i "He didn't want it. what is TIE
luse, he replied, More money is simply
J, more taxes and more 4onble. Never

, able among most Of the big interests
The crisis will be good tonic for tht
J country in that it will be a show dowr
and will end agitation, say the bankers
who feel that the decision will be alont
l the lines of "the democracy and free
dom for which our forcfathers fought,
as one man put It.
Il Wall street is prepared for the crisi

Scarcity On Coast Boosts
Price To II Cents And
Limits Sales.

And now the suffering housekeepers
are having trouble with their supply o,
sugar, just when everything was about
to be settled and all the boys home from
over there.
1t happened suddenly day OF SO ago
when the federal equalization board or
dered 400 cars of sugar shipped east
from the west. With but little raw ma
terial in sight, number of refinerics
were shut down. And with the refiner-
les down, the wholesalers received no
supplies and then suddenly the whole
salers were unable to ship.
And on top of all this trouble the rail
road strikes in California prevented the
| usual shipment Of ears from San Fran
cisco and with the exception Of two OF
three cars, none will be coming north
until the Rose City sails, unless the rail-
road situation gets bettor.
Yesterday morning sugar in Salem al
| 8 o'clock was quoted at $3.50 for s
sack of 100 pounds. BY 10 O'Clock II
was 1920 and by mono. the figure hac
was 1920 and by noon the figure hat
quotation in the evening reached $l0.7'
and then suddenly this morning, th'
housekeeper found to her surprise tha
sugar could be purchased only in 81 lot

REV0LUTI0NlSTS MADE
Lewis M. Pierson, Banker, Re-
ports On Investigation
Covering Nation.

New York, Aug. 28.-Lewis M. Pier
son., head of the Irving National bank
and a director of the chamber Of com
merce of the United States, following
trip throughout the west to investigate
industrial conditions today gave an in
terview to the United Press, in which
his impressions were summed up as fol-
lows:
Radicals are openly advocating revo-
luton.
Business seems indifferent to or ig-
norant of the fact.
No real effort is being made to an
swer bolshevik propaganda.
Apparently shrewdly conducted and
amply financed bolshevik campaign
aims at the overthrow of the govern
ment.
A crisis is at hand.
1t calls for national action.
Pierson made the trip in his capacity
as director of the chamber of commerce
of the United States. Replying to ques
tins asked by the United Press, he said
"The outstanding feature of the tril
was on the one hand the evidence VIZ
found Of an extraordinary amount oi
revolutionary propaganda abroad in th'
country and, on the other hand, tn,
amazing lack Of effort to combat iil'
dangerous teachings.
"The Pacific coast, in particular, i
aflame with radical activities. Ii is no
ticeable all the way from Los Angelo
to Seattle.

proper relationship between labor an
capital.
'Yet nearly everywhere busines

The Red Cross will help you-just
