gram and hope of the majority of the
committee on foreign relations. It Is
! for this purpose that the treaty has
; been locked up in cold storage for so
i many w eek?.
, "A few, a very few, have declared
they would vote acainst the treaty be
cause of the league of nations, but it
has remained for Senator Knox to de
clare boldly against our participation
in the pear.- settlement. To say tnat
(he has amazed the country is to put
it mildly. He has shocked the coun
I try. He formerly favored taking the
league ot nations out of the treaty and
i ratifying the peace treaty with Ger
many. Now he suddenly changes
front.
"It is suggested that we desert our
associates and negotiate a separate
treaty. It is proposed that we adopt
a policv of quit and scuttle. It is pro
posed that we repudiate our bllpations
land like cravens leave them to be per
formed by the nations lately associat
ed with us.
Asinine Policy Proposed.
"Was there ever a more asln!nc in

mivtiirr. rif nrl t rnnn rv -j iwl fnllv It
difficult to see which predominates.
The senator from Pennsylvania goes
the limit. He not only propose-; thct
W desert our friends and abandon our
obligations, but he suggests that we
lelease Germany from all promises of
indemnities and reparations. Why not
go further and propose that we com
pensate Germany? That would be a
still stronger appeal to German senti
ment. "1 have spoken of the treaty as a
whole, but the league of nations f a
ture particularly has been persistent
ly and unreasonably attacked in this
chamber. Thosi who conjure up thel
possible disadvantages seem to ignore
air. oiy the enormous advantages cf
organizing the world for peace.
"They make mountains out of mole
hills In reviewing difficulties of the
league plan. They are suspicious that
while it may benefit every other na
tion on earth, it is so devised as to i
bring disaster to the United States
They crawl on the ground with a
microscope searching for pitfalls, and
are unable to look forward to the prom

MESSAGE TO THE
PRESBYTERIANS
LAKE GENEVA, Wis., Sept. 3.
Greater interest by the church in so
cial and economic questions was sug
gested today b 1 franklin D Lane, -
rotary of the interior, in a message to
the new era conference of the Pres
byterian church of the United States
here today
The questions, the secretary of the.
interior said he hoped would be stud
led "neither from the standpoint of
justifying conditions which exist nor
from the standpoint of creating an
ideal society."
Secretary Lane suggested that the
conference appoint committees to re
port authoritatively on the following
questions:
"How can profit sharing be most
simply and easily effected in indus
try? "How far should workers be en
trusted with control of managerial pol
icies?"
"Cannot a movement be started to
remove large industries and small
cities Into towns and villages where
the workers could have their own
homes?
"How may the social advantages of
the city be provided in the country?"
"How may illiteracy be stamped
out?"
How may our people be given a
sense of identity with the government
and a consciousness of the living value
of its principles?"

TO END

Week.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 3 While Re-'
publican leaders hope to report the,
peace treaty to the senate Friday, tht-y i
said today that discussion of the reso
lution of ratification in which reserva
tions will be incorporated would take'
some time and might delay a report
until early next week. They beliove
o la certain, however, that the treaty
will be brought into the senate not
later than next Wednesday.
The committee plans to close its
hearings Friday and, probably after
;doptlng Senator Fall's amendment o
eliminato the labor section, proceed
ito frame tho resolution of ratification
I and the proposed reservations.
Progress vsas roported today among
Republic an leaders toward a "harmony
program'' on reservations A compro-1
inise between the Republican resen a-1
tionists is being negotiated with much
prospect to success, it was said.
Republican Leader Lodge was re
ported to have accepted three of t'.ie
tour reservations proposed by the
group headed by Senator McNary. Ore
gon, and dealing with the Monroe doc
trine, domestic questions and Amerl
can withdrawal from the league of na-i
lions
The reservation reported still in dir ,
, gr ement, is that dealing with Article
10 of the league covenant. Negotia
tions on this clause were said to be
still in progress.
These four reservations were said
to rnninrisM th nrcQrmt nrn m m fnr
inclusion in the resolution of ratiiu
tion Others may be offered later,
however. No reservation on the Shan
tung provision is planned in the com
mtttee, it was said, in view of its ac
iion in specifically amending this sec
lion of the treaty. If the senate re
jects the Shantung amendment, bow
ever, a declaration or reservation will
be offered in the senate, some senators

ONLY CHANGE
IN AUSTRIAN
PEACETREATY
PARIS, Sept 3 Only one change
from the original territorial terms of
the Austrian peace treaty appears in
the final draft ol that document, sub
mitted to the Austrian plenipotentiar
ies at St Germain yesterday. Tho al
teration Is in the case of the town of
Radkersburg, in the Marburg basin.
Radkershurg remains Austrian al
though the basin attached to Jugo
slavia. One clause of tho Austrian treaty,
as had been reported, has the effect
Of prohibiting the annexation of Aus
tria by Germany.
Independence of Austria Inalienable.
This clause reads:
"The independence of Austria is in
alienable otherwise than with the con
sent of the council of the league of
nations Consequently Austria under
takes, In the absence of the consent of
said council, to abstain from any act
which might directly or indirectly by
any means whatsoever compro
mise her independence particularly
until her admission to the league of
nations, by the participation In the
affairs of another power."
Rumania Falls to Answer.
PARIS, Sept. 3. The supreme coun
cil today again considered the failure
of Rumania to respond In writing to
the notes of the council and discussed
the sending ot a representative of high
standing to Bucharest to insist upon
an immediate reply. No agreement
was repored but it is possible a deci
sion will be arrived at tomorrow.
Apparently the council has no de
sire to select an American for the
mission as the European members
are said to feel that he would be like
ly to Drove too outspoken.
KENYON
ASSAILS
WITNESS
Opens Fire on Fort
Worth Cattlemen's
Testimony.
QUERIES MOTIVES
Men Sent by Packers to
Defend Corporation
Interests.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3. Conflict
over motives of witnesses appearing to
oppose legislation for the regulation of
tho packing industry was renewed LO
uay before the senate agriculture com
mittee. Senator Kenyon, Republic in,
Iowa, author of the principal regula
tive measure, opened fire on W. D.
Reynolds, a Fort Worth, Texas, cattle
man, as soon as tho witness took the
stand.
"You are the same man who cane
down here to testify for the packers
when the Borland resolution, propc s
ing Hn investigation, came up?" Sen
ator Kenyon asked.
I "I am." Reynolds responded
"When you came here before tJ;e
packers paid your expenses, didn't
they?"
'Well, they paid a part of them "
"Will you tell this committee now
that you do not expect to bo piid
again?"
"I do; I expect to pay my own tx
' penses."
Senator Kenyon also introduced a I
(If -ram from Thomas Crelgh, gen
eral attorney for the Cudahy Tacking
company, denying a charge made
terday that that corporation owned
the Coffin Packing company, of Den
ver, the manager of which appeared
recently as an independent packer op
posing the pending legislation.
J H. Nail, another Fort Worth ct
Ueman, attacked the Kenyon and'
Kendrick bills as "impractical and unnecessary'-"
"You came down with Reynolds to
testify against tho Berland resolu
tion?" asked Senator Kenyon.
"Yes sir."
"They paid your expenses as well?"
Senator Kenyon asked
"Yes. they came to me and ask !
'me to come."
I "You expect the same result, how
ever, this time?"
"No, I don't. I've got as much
i money to pay my expenses as Swift
i has."

Whilo no formal announcement was J

a vote of 36 to 6 decided last night to
accord recognition to the Acton'

at issue, and that the Actors' Fidelity .

EDUCATION OF I
FOREIGN BORN I
IS NECCESSARY I
BOSTON, Sept. 3 The need of
Urn ricanlzatlon of the foreign popu
lation of this country, better education
of the native-born residents in the
meaning of government and harmoniz
ing of lhe intehests of capital and labor
was emphasized by George T. Page of
Peoria. HI , preii'-nt of the American
Bar association si 'he opening session
of the association's annual convention
here today.
" e must take up intelligently," he
said, "and with courage and determin
ation the seemingly Impossible tasks
that are all about us, and reconstruct
and re adjust the broken and disturbed
condition of things, produce, on thj
one hand by war and on the other
hand by what seems to be our utter
disregard of some of the fundamen
tals necessary to establish and per
petuate a democratic form of govern
ment "
He characterized as a most danger
oua difficulty the fact that lack of
Americanization work had left most
of the great body of foreigners In thli
country "wholly incapable of even be
coming students of our form of gov
ernment." Mr. Page declared that the immi
grants should be taught that they have
no right "to place America and Ameri
can institutions second to any other
nation or proposed nation on earth,"
and that an immigrant incapable or
refusing to become an American I
should be driven back to the country
from which he came.
"It is the belief of the people of this
country' that neither capital or labr
cares much what happens to anybody
other than themselves," Mr. Page dc
clared j.
In conclusion ho expressed confi
dence that "the American people will
keep their heads cool and their feet on II
the ground and that wise counsels will
prevail not only through present difli
cultles but through every year yet to 1
come" I
