Borah Against Delay.

"Delay is one of the methods pecu-

in his statement. "In the preamble Of
the military clauses of the Versailles
treaty is what amounts to pledge for
disarmament upon the part of the Allies
and associated Powers. Two years have

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Jan. 2g.
Elihu Root, in a letter to the House
Naval Affairs Committee to-day, recon-
mended that Congress take no steps
toward disarmament until the Admin
istration Of President-elect Harding
comes into power. Premature action
by Congress, he said,s ''might be just
the wrong thing" and the whole prob
lem should be left to President Harding
and his Secretary Of State to determine
the wisest course of procedure.
The, letter was addressed to Repre-
sentative Butler (Pa.), chairman of
the House Naval Affairs Committee,
who expressed the opinion to-day that
q disarmament conference would be
called by Mr.. Harding soon after his
Inauguration.
Mr.. Roots letter caused an i'm
mediate and sharp attack from Sem
ator Borah Gdaho), author of dis
armament resolution recently reported
by the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. The Senator asserted that
every days delay meant additional
burdens to the taxpayers and that the
question should not be postponed be-
cause of partisan pride.

Text of Roots Letter.

Here is Mr. Roots letter:
Ny Dear Mr.. Butler:
I have received your letter of Jan
uary IA asking an opinion to aid
your committee in considering an es-
innate for additional ships of war.
requiring for their completion the
sum Of $107, ,177,000.
do not feel like hazarding an
opinion as to what reply other Gov
ernments might make to n sugges-
ton from our Government for the
appointment of representatives to
meet for the purpose of. discussing
the question of total or partial dis
armament.
! feel strongly that steps should
be taken promptly after the new Ad-
ministration is established to bring
about a general agreement on that
question. 1t Is plainly impracticable
to accomplish this before the change
of administration.
The precise method of procedure
through which the attempt should be
made. + think, ought to be deter
mined aftern, and not before Mr..
Harding and his Secretary of State
have had an opportunity to inform
themselves and to reach conclusions
as to the way which affords the best
prospect of success. Action on your
part. based upon any opinion which
you can form now as to the best
method of procedure. might prove
to be just the wrong thing and might
create obstacles to success, instead
of helping it along.
The subject is especially difficult
because of the disturbed condition of
eastern Europe. and 1t is difficult be-
cause too many nations have special
apprehensions OF danger against
which they wish to guard. The new
Administration will soon learn what
is the best way TO deal with these
difficulties. 1t may be that they can
not all be dealt with in the same
way OF by the same process.
] think this expresses my view as
fully as / could do IL l were to go
TO washington and appear before
your committee.
Very Sincerely Yours.

Paris, July 23.--Bolshevik SOL
diers who invaded the country of
Georgia behaved admirably in
their attitude toward the civilian
population, reports odette Keun,
correspondent OF the Matin, a
newspaper which cannot be sus-
pected of Bolshevik sympathies.
"The supplies of the American
Near East Relief organization,
seized at first by the new Bolshe-
vik authorities at Batoum, were
returned intact to the Americans
committee when It was seen that
their claims were well founded, ="
writes Mile, Keun, from Batoum.
"The shops were not touched.
Public schools, closed for several
weeks, were reopened by the Boil
sheviki. Refugees were transport
ed to their homes. The sale of wine
and hard liquors was vigorously
prohibited. Strict penalties were
imposed against profiteers and in
five days the price of all foodstuffs
tumbled from so to rs per cent.
Naturally, in all the unoccu-
pied rooms were lodged Bolsheviki
soldiers. Six Bolsheviki sleep In
the room next to mine. Though
they are replaced from time to
time by six others. no one can find
any complaint against them. Moth
ing has been stolen; they do not
get drunk; they prepare their
meals in the same kitchen with
the rest OF us and even give us
part of their flour and their soup.
and when they want tea they
bring their own sugar. In all the
occupied villages OF Georgia the
Bolsheviki have behaved like inno-
cent children"

Dallas. Or. July 22.-The con.

In Dallas are having trouble in
getting cement with which to do
the work.
The main trouble is that the
men are finding II hard to get
the money with which to pay for
the cement. For a couple Of car
loads Of the material have been
shipped TO Dallas within the last
week. But II came with bill OF
lading attached and the eontrac-
tors could not get Il without max
Ing payment. As the money was
not forthcoming the material was
shipped back.
Il is stated the contractors that
they are now negotiating with a
concern that promises 10 furnish
the cement and give time for pay
ment. But the result is that for
the tims being the street improve
mcnt work is practically at
standstiiI. Early this week half OF
the crew was laid off. Some OF
these men had been brought here
but a few days ago from Portland.
One man registered a complaint
that he had been sent here from
Portland and given but two days
work. This man held that this
was not treating a laboring man
fairly as be would lose money on

Itreets to- be paved has been done.
