a*? Company
written in the bipartisan meetings
last week so that it provided in sub?
stance that the United Slates might use
moral force without the direct sanc?
tion of Congress to protect the terri?
torial integrity of other members of
the league, but not the army or navy
or a trade boycott without such sanc?
tion. Republicans suddenly discovered
they had omitted the question of finan?
cial assistance and retired to a caucus
of their own and when they returned
the Democrats adjourned the meeting.
The bipartisan conference to-day
lasted only a few minutes. When it
ended Senator Lodge made this state?
ment:
"1 have only this to say about the
committee meeting this morning: That
I said to the committee that there is
a very strong feeling among many
Senators against any change in the
Lodge reservations, either in words
or in substance, and that I thought it
only fair to say now what I already
have said m public, that there can be
no compromise of principle, and that
it would he impossible ?0 secure, in
my judgment, two-thirds of the Senate
if any change was attempted in Ar?
ticles II and Y, those relating to Article
X and the Monroe Doctrino. I said
this was a mere statement of the situa?
tion."
Democrats to Answer To-day
Senator Hitchcock made this state?
ment:
"When the conference assembled
Senator Lodge advised the Senators
present that he had been called into
a meeting by certain Republican Sena?
tors ,and for that reason had not been
able to attend the last conference Fri?
day. He regretted to say that lie
found it impossible to resume the con?
ference for a compromise except upon
the understanding that no change shall
be made in the reservation on Article
\ or on the Monroe Doctrine. The
Democratic members retired for a pri?
vate conference and will make their
reply to Senator Lodge to-morrow
morning at a meeting at 10:110.
"The conference, up to the time it-a
meetings were interrupted, had tenta?
tively agreed upon the preamble and
all sections of the reservations except
that relating to Article X, the Monroe
Doctrine and one or two minor mat?
ters, and an agreement apparently
was almost consummated on Article X
when adjournment suddenly came, fol?
lowed by the intervention of the Irre?
concilable Republicans."
Democrats. Ciajm 58 Vot?*a
There were Democrats who predicted
that at least forty-three of their par'y
and fifteen Republicans would be will?
ing to voto to ratify the treaty if it
should be taken up on the floor, and
who believed tlrmly, they said, that it
would be an eauy matter to get the six
more necessary from the Republican
?anks before a vote on ratitlcation itself
actually is taken.
To bring the treaty up on the floor
will require only a majority vote. In
any event, it it came to a ruling,
??ither favorable or advprse, by the
Vice-President, a majority could sup?
port him if he said it was proper to
take it up or it could overturn his
rule if he declared it could not be
taken up. How many Republicans will
be willing to go the whole distance und
run the chance of siding through a
long fight on the floor with the Demo?
crats is a problem that is worrying
the Republican leaders, but which they
have not ?olved.
"If they keep on and put the treaty
in the campuign they'll elect Herbert
Hoover," said one Republican Senator
to-night.

en route, and the Americans, abs
because of the non-ratification of i

embodied in the pact of Versailles. 1

German representatives.
Places Held for Americans
The absence of American delega
caused much comment and discuss
among the delegates, as well as spe
lution as to the date the United Sta
would be represented. Albert Thon
tonner member of the French V
Council, explaining the situation
The Associated Press, said:
"It is evident that America, beca
of her failure to ratify the treaty, c
not be represented in this organizat
any more than in any other comrt
sion growing out of the Versai
treaty. We feel so certain, howe\
that America eventually will be re ;
sen ted that some of the states actut
have delegates in the council of
ministration only temporarily, pla
being reserved for the American deli
gates when the treaty Is ratified.
"For instance, Dr. Gebel, sitting fo?
Denmark, will retire to make room foi
an American delegate. The ?mme con
dition obtains with respect to the em?
ployers' representation. It Is oui
earnest desire to see American dele?
gates among us at the earliest, possible
moment."
German Delegate? Equal?
I Concerning the standing of the Ger

PARTS. Jan. 20 (By The Associated
j Pre8s).--The text of the Supreme Coun?
cil's note to the representatives of the
' Russian Central Cooperative Union re?
garding the partial lifting of tho block
? ade was made public to-day. It fol?
lows :
"First?The Allied governments no
I tify the Cooperative Union that they
are disposed to authorize an exchange
. of products upon a basis of reciprocity
between the Russian people and tho Al?
lied arid neutral countries, and they in?
vite this union to export from Russia
tTic surplus of its cereals, its foodstuffs
and its raw materials, with a view to
? exchanging them for clothing and other
j merchandise of which Russia is in
\ need.
"It should be well understood that
; the value of the merchandise, the ?m
i portation of which into Russia will be
authorized, will be based on the value
of the merchandise exported from Rus?
sia within a reasonable period.
"Second The. Russian delegation at
Paris will communicate immediately
by wireless with the controlling com?
mittee at Moscow, and will ask it. if
the cooperatives arc ready to assume
responsibility for handling these im?
portations and the exportations, and
:1 exchanges o this sort are practically
po ,'nie. The representatives of the I
cooperatives of Moscow will determine j
immediately these questions.
"Third The t'entra,! Committee at'
Moscow will puarantee that the expor- '
talion of cereals, flax, etc., shall be au
thorized, and that the necessary trans-'
portation facilities shall be furnished, i
"Fourth As soon as certainty is'
reached in this matter the Central
Committee at Moscow will inform ;
Berkenheim (Alexander Berkenheim,
vice-president of the All-Russian Union -
of Consumers' Societies'! at Paris.
"Fifth?The cooperative unions in;
foreign countries will then take meas?
ure to furnish Russian cereals and
flax on condition that the cooperative*, ,
shall he advanced 25 per cent on the ?
value of the exports, either by direct
contact or by British, French or Ital- i
ian financiers.
(Sections missing).
"Eighth- The Central Committee at j
Moscow will endeavor to supply at |
least four complete trains for the i
transportation of goods to and from i
the Black Sea ports. Should Moscow j
not succeed the cooperatives in foreign j
countries will employ part of the cred- j
its for the purchase, of freight cars j
and locomotives in the Allied countries.
In any case they will send motor trucks
in order to help railroad transporta- ;
tion.
"Ninth?As soon as the exportation '
of cereals, flax and other raw materi
als from Russia has begun effectively, i
the contracts referred to above will i
be. considerably increased, in order, for !
instance, to reach 1,000.000 tons of
cereals, which would be the quantity
available for export in a little longer
time."

Turk Leader Warns
Unfair Peace May
Bring Bolshevism
?Mustapha Kemal Pasha Says
Bloodshed Will Follow
Attempt to <?ive Con?
stantinople to the (?reeks
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 26?Bol?
shevism has t?o appeal to the Turks,
being contrary to their religious train?
ing and their patriotic sentiment, Mus?
tapha Koma! Pasha, political and mili?
tary leader of the Turkish Nationalist
movement in Asia Minor, declared re?
cently to The Associated Press. Inter?
est attached to his words because of
rumors that the Boisheviki had made
inroads in Turkish AsTa Minor, and re?
ports that Enver Pasha. Minister of
War here in 1914, had sponsored a Bol?
shevik uprising in Turkestan.
Mustapha Kenia! denied his adher?
ents in the Nationalist cause were
leagued with Enver Pasha or with
Talaat Pasha, former Grand Vizier, who
is reported to have been converted to
Bolshevism. Bolshevism might result,
however, from a peace which makes
the Turks a subject people, lie asserted,
but lie added that such an alliance
with the Soviet power would be only
temporary.
Bloodshed would follow a peace set?
tlement which placed Creeks in control
of this city, he said, and the giving of
Thrace to Greece would have the same
result.
"Bolshevism is against every national
ideal wo cherish, and if a peace is made
for us that will help us to maintain our
ideals we shall ri*c from the ruins
which are the result of too many wars.
Of course, if the Allies force a peace
on us that furthers the destruction of
our land, it is difficult to predict what
will happen. Our people might make
some sort of temporary alliance with
the Boisheviki, but Boisheviki they
never will be at heart. Their religion
and their patriotism will save them
from it."
"It is true that Enver Pasha appears
to be cooperating with the Boisheviki
in order that he may establish an inde?
pendent .Moslem power in Turkestan,
nfuTiat d with the Moslem Tatars of I
the Caspian Sea, in Daghestan and
Azerbaijan, but this is merely to get
support again?' 'he British.
"We Nation.. .. s have been charged
with being in bague with the old
crowd, such as Enver, Talaat Pasha,
?: ' n r ? ? ei nmi ' clerk at Sal?nica,
und others. This is not true. It might
be said that we wish to begin again
where the Young Turks did in 1908.
"'Turkey to the Turks,' is our rally
cry, and it seems to us we have a right.
to it. So far as possible we wish to
prevent political dissension and stick
to measures that will help rebuild our
.and and people.
"Surely this great war will have been
fought in vain if we, and such as we,
are made subject peoples. Any attempt
to put the Greeks in Constantinople
will start bloodshed, and blood will con?
tinue to be spilled if, aiso, the Greeks
aro riven Thrace.
"What we want above all else is to
keep our armistice boundaries intact
:ind then a chance to develop commer?
cially, The problem of Turkey will
ise forever if we are started right
economically. That is why we haw
hoped so intensely that America would
help us. There is not a peasant among
us but would welcome Americans here."

ers; national power has passed to dif?
ferent, hands. Nations are resorting to
artificial stimulation through inge?
nious devices in which the old idea <>r
stability has largely disappeared. In
; many nations all pivotal economic in?
terests are being artificially diverted in
? th? direction of general expediency. We
?are in the midst of an era of transition
and transformation. The machinery of
government for dealing with our for?
eign relation.-, is in need of complete
j repair and reorganization.
"The European war came as a sur?
prise in 1914, chiefly because the State
Department through inadequate equip?
ment hail been unable to gather in
; formation and interpret it in a manner
which would reveal the hidden pur
poses of the government by which
hostilities were precipitated. No
reasonable effort must be spared to
make a similar surprise impossible in
the future. Necessity is forcing new
notions and oven the older ones to in?
cur obligations and form political nf
I filiations having a decisive if not. a su?
preme bearing on tho course of future
events. International movements of]
iuch import can only be correctly
judged through an accurate knowledge
and complete understanding o?
methods and motives' involved.
''The Department of State must be
reorganized so as to provide an in?
strumentality capable of performing I
this delicate task. At present several
departments an* collecting material re?
lating to foreign trade. ? hope it may
; be possible to treat, these subjects con
currently, bringing them to a correct
focus in the State Department, and
charging it with their appropriate util?
ization. The situation demands a sub-'
stantial broadening and intensification
oi work and coordination of activities
; The State Department desires to utilize
j to the fullest extent the agencies of
all other departments.
"One of the greatest obstacles to for?
eign trad" arises through artil il bar?
riers and obstructions. Tho State De?
partment hopes to evolve policies
through which American enterprise
may be enabled to expand its efforts
..- ? ncumbered by prejudice or by po
?itical opportunism."
The letter says the present system
is defective; salaries of Ambassadors
and ministers are too small, they are1
not provided with proper residences
abroad and the diplomatic career is
closed thereby to many men of talent.
! These defects, he said, must be cor
, rccted by combining a new and much
, greater scale of salaries with purchase
? of embassies and legations in foreign
! capitals.
