Premier Lloyd George's revelation of
a hitherto unheard of pact between
himself. President Wilson and Premier

process has caused astonished interest
unions the members of the American
peace mi.ion. Secretary Lansing let
it be known that he is entirely unin
formed as to the existence of such an
understanding; and as far as could be
learned today nobody ele is any wiser
than the American secretary of state.
American opinion generally tends to
approve such an arrangement, which
implies the reduction of allied armed
forces on German soil at the earliest
possible moment, thereby affording
Germany a surer opportunity to re-
habilitate herself.

By consent of the council of five
the German delegates at Versailles
will have a chance to air their views
on the system the allies have planned
for the administration of the Khlne

commitment. '
1 dered terminrjted and restrictions upon
trade have practically been all removed.
As to all other subjects of legislation
congress is proceeding upon the theory
that the war is over.
Congress, the president said: The de
mobilization of the military forces has
progressed to such a point that it seems
to me entirely safe now to remove the
ban upon the manufacture and sale of
wines and beer.
"instead of extending the act to in
clude beverages not now Included in
the prohibition, congress should at least
lift the ban to the extent suggested by
the president.
"If, however, the act is valid and is
not to be repealed, other provisions will
materially aid in its enforcement and
should be adopted."
The minority contended that prohi
bition enforcement, under the consti
tutional amendment, could only be
legally brought about by joint state
and federal action. A lengthy .discus
sion of the phrase, "concurrent power,"
as used in the amendment, witn the
presentation of supreme court opinions
on analogous constitutional points, was
presented to develop the conclusion.
"To which government does the citi
xen owe his dty to observe the 18th
amendment?" the report said in pre
senting conclusions of its signers on
the point.
"The answer is simple. The state
surrendered to the federal government
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating1 liquors for bev
erage purposes, and simply reserved
the power that in the enforcement of
the amendment the legislation should
be concurrent.

"We cannot eliminate from the con
stitution that concurrent power to en
force its provisions which was given
to both congress and the several states.
Joint or concurrent action is necessary
for the enactment of proper enforce
ment legislation.
"The reason for this reservation of
state power is plainly apparent from
the drastic legislation now attempted
to be imposed upon the people, and
plainly offensive to probably a ma
jority of them. The widest possible
iattitude Is given to the prohibitory
section, while in the enforcement-sec
tions are reduced to subject people."

Press Censorship S apses ted.
Chairman Graham frequently was in

The minutes showed that Philip
Patch in, chief of the state department's
division of foreign intelligence, first
suggested a press censorship. He was
described by Chairman Graham as "a
"free lance news correspondent.
Details of the plan for military ex
emption on industrial grounds, out
lined by Mr. Coffin and Mr. Gompers,
were not disclosed by the minutes, Mr.
Graham said.
After Chairman Graham had told the
committee that the minutes he had read

that Major-General Goethals, former
chief of the purchase, storage and traf

defied it; cabinet members protested
agains tits activities and Judge Gary,
chairman of the board of the United
States Steel corporation, accused it of
operating in "flagrant violation of

Mr. Graham declared the president
created the "secret government" by ig
noring and reversing the intent of con
gress in authorizing the establishment
of a council of national defense in Au
gust, 1116. As authorized by congress,
he said, the council was to be composed
of Mx members of the cabinet, w ho
were to be the real executives, and
seven civilians to be selected by the
president, who were to act in a purely
advisory capacity. Instead of doing

LONDON". July 7. (Special cable.)
'Hearing that the prince consort of
Holland was in Switzerland, I succeeded
in tracing him to Berne and he ac
corded me an interview this evening," a
special correspondent of the Daily
News at Berne telegraphed. "I laid
before him a report of Premier Lloyd
George's announcement, concerning the
trial of the former Kaiser in London.
The prince consort, naturally, was re
luctant to discuss the question. Shrug
ging his shoulders and pursing his lips,
he shook his head in the negative and
said :
I cannot talk of these things. We
are in the same position as Switzerland.
We have given hospitality and we can
not meddle.
"But," I suggested, "supposing 23 or
24 powers sign a note demanding the
extradition of the former kaiser, what
will Holland do?'
"Looking again at the reporter, the
prince of Holland said:
" I do not know what Is in Premier
Lloyd George's mind- Germany has
signed an undertaking to deliver the
former emperor for judgment and if
Germany demands him we shall be
obliged to yield to her demands.
"1 asked the prince if he had seen the
ex-kaiser or crown prince in Holland."
" -o. he replied.
"I asked finally if the prince's pres- .
ence in Berne had anv nolitical sienifi- !
cance, for instance, any reference to i
the league of nations."
" '.Not at all, he replied."
FOCH ASKED TO INTERVENE
Ilindcnburs Makes Appeal to Save
ex-Kaiser From Trial.
COPENHAGEN. July 7. Field Mar
tial von Hindenburg, former chief of
the German staff, has written Marshal
Foch appealing for his support in ef
forts to prevent the extradition of the
former German emperor. Von Hinden-
denburg offered also to place his own
person "fully and absolutely at the dis
posal of the allied powers."
Field Marshal von Hindenburg sent a
.elegram to President Ebert of the
German government on Friday, in which
the former German commander as
sumed full responsibility for the war
orders and proclamations issued in the
name of the former German emperor.
according to a Copenhagen dispatch re
ceived in London Saturday.
LONDON, July 7. The allies have not
yet made any official representations
to the Dutch government regarding tho
extradition of the former German em
peror, but necessary steps are being
taken in the matter, Andrew Bonar
Law, government spokesman, declared
in the house of commons today.
Mr. Bonar Law's statement was made
in reply to a question of a member.
Answering a further question as to
whether any unofficial communication
has been sent to the Dutch govern
ment, Mr. Bonar Law said:
"I would rather not say."
Another member then asked:
"Is the spokesman for the govern
ment aware that nobody particularly
wants the ex-kaiser brought here?"
This question was received with
cheers.
