Administration Leader Opens
Fight For Ratification Ii
Speech Today.
DECLARES AMENDMENT
WOULD KILL PURPOSE
Says Possibility OF Allies Ac-
cepting Reservations To
Pact Is MI.

Washington, Sept. 3.-Declaring that
senators who demand amendment OF the
peace treaty propose an "insane inter
national policy, in which "poltroonery.
and fallacy' is so mixed it is difficult
to see which predominates. Senator
Hitchcock, administration spokesman,
today in senate speech opened the
fight for unqualified ratification of the
pact.
Amendment will not only kill the
treaty, but will involve the United
States in enormous losses and dangers,
Hitchcock declared. Those demanding
amendments, he said, appear not TO real
ize the advantages derived by the Uni
ted States from the peace settlemeny.
"Suppose the senate should vote in
favor of the Sh1ntupg amendment or
any other, what would happcnso asked
Hitchcock. "Incvitably one OF two
things would happen-either the presi-
dent would refuse to 60 further with the
treaty ard put it in one of the pigeon
h0les OF the state department occupied
by other treaties that have been aban-
doned Or he would submit the amend
mcnt to the nations associated with the
United States in the war for considcra-
tion.
"Docs anyone believe they would ac.

pan herself would submit to this humil-
iatioa before the eyes of the world3

and candid man would assume any such

Thomas Sweeney, who organized the
Western Spruce association, testified be-
fore the congressional committee On

he warned General Brice P. Disque that
a combination was being formed to

The purpose of these interests, said
Sweeney, was to induce the government
to build railroads INTO their timber, of

other small loggers tried to do so, but
all became discouraged.

the people, according to their senators,
are suspicious Of Japanese and resent
ful Of Shantung settlement, whereby ia
pan gets important grants in China. In
addition to his speeches on the coast, the
president will review the Pacific fleet
at Seattle, September 10.

Commercial Development OF
Harbors Promises To Be

GOOD PORTS REQUISITE

Daniels Urges Business Or.

Proposed Projects.
BY M. b. Tracy


Omitted Press Staff Corrcspondent.)
San Francisco, Sept, 3.--Thc Pacific
coast Is soon to see practical proof of
the contention that |. navy can bring re-
suits for peace as we'll as war.
The organization of the Pacific fleet
will bring this proof.
Commercial development, such qs Soc
rotary Daniels promised yesterday, is
the confidently expected result by bust
ness men everywhere. The first requi-
site to the proper maintenance of the
fleet as an efficient fighting unit is
good harbors. 1t must have hGrbors to
work and play in, harbors for repairs
and harbors for training stations and
supply bases. .
This means harbor development.
Channels must be widencd and deepcned
and docking facilities must be increased.
And the deepening Of Il channel for
tho navy benefits the merchant marine
as we'll Shipping interests will be
quick to take advantage Of this develop
ment.
AT San Diego harbor there is q sand
bank, according to naval officers, which
should be taken out.

CENT HOPS LOCALLY
willamette Valley Crop Is Es-
tilrlated To Be $4,000
Bales Or Less.

Abused, discredited, ostracised-- the
Oregon hop has still the satisfaction of
belonging to the aristocratic class of
commodities. The latest market quota
tions show hops selling at so and "a
cents, with the old crop SO thoroughly
cleaned up that by the time the crop
of 1919 comes into market there will
be the smallest stock Of hops in Ore
gon ever known in the history of the
industry. 1t is estimated that IS per
cent of the Willamette valley crop of
1919 has already been disposed of on
contract, some of the consignments be-
ing based on price of 80 cents. These
figures look like mincc pie dream
to some of the old growers and dealers
of Salem who can recall the days
when hops went begging in this city
at cents pound. One prominent
grower this morning ventured the opin-
ion that the price would go to go cents
on account of the shortage both in this
counry and in Europe. Hence the Ma.
rion county grower who happened to
have his acreage ON favorable ground
will be in the same class with the man
who has struck oil.
As to the yield, the growers have
narrowed down their estimates OF. a
few weeks ago, when they figured thar
Oregon would produce $4,000 bales.
They now make guess at $1,000
bales--possibIy less, for the crop is
not only a "top crop" as result Of
three years drouth, but the western
edges in some yards show sunburn. 1t
is believed that 1900 pounds to the
acre will be an average yield this
year, though there ares some favored
locations. like the Mitoma ranch, where
hops win pick as high as 1000 pounds
to the acre.
In some Of the yards the "babyv
hops have already been picked, and
pickino viii be generally under way
in all the yards this week. Thus far
there has been no difficulty in secur-
ing pickers, for most of the growers
are offering $l.20 hundred pounds.

There were mostly all business

1T is prepOsteroUs to think" said
the clergyman. that the boys and
girls of today speak of paying
board 10 their parents. The par
cnts have a right to demand every
cent Of the wages OF tho children

Then ! talked with a housewife.

few cents over.
Whenever this girl OF seventeen
needed clothing. mother decided
upon tho size. style. quality and

Tho boy Of nineteen was treated as
boy or nine. His clothing was
purchased for him. His chewing

And yet his mother was really
proud Of herself.
Between the boss who encouraged
his young helper to sacrifice some
Of her lunch hour for self-betteF-

tho parents have right to all
young workers wages, and the
thrifty" housewife who never even
questioned her own right to collect
her Children's wages. IL seems to the
disintcrcsted outsider that these
young workers have a pretty hard

Long ago people decided that the
primary purpose of the home was
for the care Of the young. And
