Request of Committee for
Drafts Refused.
EXECUTIVE INSISTS ON POWER
Encroachment on Function of
. Treaty-Making Feared.
P0INT CONCEDED BY LODGE
lext of Treaties With Allies of Ger
man;, However, Held to Be
. .Needed by Upper House.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. The request
of the foreign relations committee for
latest drafts of the proposed treaties
with Germany's allies has boen refused
by President Wilson on the ground
that the compliance would set a prece
dent encouraging senatorial encroach
ment on th presidential power of
treaty negotiation.
In an exchange of letters made
..wt . v- xt. -Unn wrote that it
waa "out of the question" to accede
tn ttit committee's suggestion, and
Senator Lodge replied that although
the treaties were closely corvnected
with the treaty with Germany, the
president undoubtedly had authority to
keep Information about them from the
annate if he chose.
The correspondence apparently
brought another Impasse between the
president and the committee on the
much-debated subject of what Informa
tion the senators should have In their
consideration of the treaty with Ger
many. Kenr Treaties Meld Needed.
Mr. Lodge and others have declared
the committee could not act intelli
gently until all of the Versailles
treaties wene before it, but at the
White House conference Mr. 'Wilson
told the committee that the form to
be taken by the four treaties tinder
negotiation depended largely on the
senate's action regarding the Instru
ment now befor-4 it.
A copy of the agreement of June H
relative to the Rhine district, also
was denied the committee, the presi
dent writing that it would only be
come pertinent after the treaty was
ratified and that its publication now
might be embarrassing to other gov
ernments. To this Senator Lodge re
plied that it already had been published
In a British white book and from that
source had been circulated in this coun
try through the congressional record.
Committee to Drop Attempt.
The correspondence was made public
by Mr. Lodge, who indicated that no
further effort would be made by the
committee in the matter. The com
mittee did not meet today, but to
morrow It will resume Its hearings
and probably will have another ex
ecutive session to work on proposed
amendments and reservations to the
treaty.
The only amendment pending before
the committee now is a proposal by
Senator Fall to strike out the provision
for an international labor organiza
tion. When the question of amend
ments has been disposed of. drafting
ef the ratification resolution will be
taken up. It Is expected that the com
mittee draft will Include several res
ervations to the league of nations cove
cant.
At its opening bearing tomorrow, the
committee will question Eugene Pivany
of the Hungarian-American federation,
who asked to be heard regarding the
Claims of Hungary at the Versatile:
conference.
Senator Hitchcock had given notice
of his Intention to speak on the treaty
at tomorrow's session of the senate
but it was said at his office tonight
that be might postpone his address
until Wednesday.
Text ef President's Letter.
. The president wrote to Senator
Lodge:
"Allow me to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your letter of August 23 and
to say that I shall take pleasure in
laying before the senate the treaty
with Poland, signed at Versailles on
the 18th of June, and the agreement
between the United States. Belgium,
the British Empire and France of the
one part and Germany of the other
part, with regard to the military oc
cupation of the territories of the
Rhine, also signed at Versailles on the
28th of June..
"The declaration of the 16th of June
to which you refer was a mere declara
tion of policy and does not become in
any way pertinent until the treaty Is
ratified. My Impression is that a cer
tain degree of embarrassment would
be caused, not to the United States,
but to the countries with which ve
must necessarily co-operate in many
particulars In the execution of the
treaty, if it were communicated now.
Tt will, of course, be made public in
due time.
"With regard to the treaties with
Austvia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Tur
key, It would, be out of the question
for me to submit them In their present
form, even to the committee on foreign
relations. They are in process of ne
gotiation, are subject to change and
reconsideration until completed and
signed. I am sure that the committee
on foreign relations will appreciate
the undesirability of creating the pre
tedent which would be created by sub
mitting treatiea In their draft form.
Mexico 'ot to Recognize Monroe
Doctrine; Sovereignty to
Be Defended.
MEXICO CITT. Sept. 1. Defense of
Mexico against -foreign representations,
particularly from the United States, re
garding the lives of foreigners and
their property was continued in a mes
sage of President Carranza, read a
the opening session of congress tonlgh
Particular reference was made in th
message to alleged injustices practiced
against Mexicans In the United States.
A long list of alleged offenses was
given under the section of the address
devoted to foreign relations.
The message also defended Mexico'
neutrality during the war and protest
ed against charges that the Mexican
government was unable and unwilling
to protect foreign Uvea and property.
In the message President Carranza
asserted that Mexico did not ask ad
mission to the league of nations be
cause, he said, the league did not es
tablish equality for all nations and
races. He reiterated that Mexico had
not recognized and would not recognize
the Monroe doctrine.
Regarding oil legislation, the mes
sage said the government was willing
to conciliate, but would not sacrifice its
national sovereignty.

BRITISH TRADE HESITANT
Merchants Slow to Resume Buying
From Central Powers. "
LONDON, Sept. 1. A great deal of
curiosity la being evinced by the Brit
ish public regarding the effect of
today's reopening of trade with the
central European powers. Although it
has been known for some time that
German firms have been sending cir
culars to British business houses offer
ing articles for sale, it was generally
believed some hesitancy still existed
among commercial houses with regard
to the resumption of business regula
tions with the central powers.
Owing to the lack of shipping fa
cilities, it will be virtually impossible
for any considerable consignment of
imports to reach Great Britain for
some time to come.

the Golden Gate at the head of 42
fighting ships of various types, it
found a bay dotted with small craft.

the sky blurred with airplanes.
Oregon Has Place of Honor.
The old battleship Oregon, small in
comparison to Admiral Rodman's
dreadnoughts, but once probably the
most famous battleship in the world,
had the place of honor in the naval
pageant. From the Oregon, Secretary
Daniels reviewed the fleet as it passed
on the port beam of the old battle
ship.
As each of the 42 ships reviewed
passed the "bull dog" Oregon and
saluted the secretary with 19 guns.

Portland's tollers, 10,000 strong, rep

the Portland Central Labor Council,
marched proudly In review of thou

yesterday morning, marking the prin

With virtually every unit in the long
line were men who had but recently
returned from overseas, where they
had fought for the freedom and de
mocracy of the world, as their brothers
at home had toiled to turn out ships
and supplies to aid them in the sue
cessiui conclusion or the great war.
Many of the men in khaki acted as
lieutenants in command of the indi
vldual units, giving the parade a de
cidedly militaristic air.
March Has Military Air.
Perhaps it was the crisp air of the
first morn of September, or it might
have been the enthusiasm of these rep
resentatives of organized labor as
they saw the tremendous strength of
union forces when brought into a body
that sent them through the downtown
thoroughfares with a light step and
in well-organized lines the majority
retained, as straight as arrows.
Members of the Musicians' union, di
vided into groups, furnished the mar
tial airs to which the working men
paraded. ,
; The display of war activity which
was remembered " as the outstanding
feature of the Labor day parade one
year ago was lacking in yesterday's
showing, but the continuation of in
austry at iuu pace in Portland was
indicated by the large number of
craftsmen in line. The expansion also
of labor organizations was shown by
the number of new banners of recently
chartered unions. . , .

Leader to Transport.
U. S. WAR RECORD PRAISED
Marshal Says. Friendship of
France Will Never Fade.
ARRIVAL EXPECTED SEPT. 8
General to Review First Division
Men, Visit Missouri, Then
Report to Capital.
BREST, Sept. 1. General John J.
Pershing, commander of the American
expeditionary forces, sailed from here
today on the transport Leviathan for
the United States. The steamer left
port at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
Marshal Foch came aboard the trans
port shortly before she sailed and made
a feeling address to the departing
American commander.
"l leaving France," said the mar
shal, "you leave your dead in our
hands. On our soil we will care for
them religiously and zealously, as
bearing witness of the powerful aid
you brought us. These dead will bring
from America many thoughts of re
membrance and pious visits and will
bind still more strongly our already
close union. " ,
American Achievement Reviewed.
"Recalling with emotion the hours
we have lived together some of .them
full of anguish, some glorious I am
struck hard in the heart in passing
with you the last moments of your stay
among us. On your arrival, you said,
'Lafayette, we are here!" Allow a
French soldier of today to return
thanks to you and in a few words recall
the work you have done for 'the rights
and liberty of the world."
Marshal Foch thert reviewed the
American effort and continued:
"This army, raised In all haste, with
still only elementary instruction, re- .
cently organized and commanded by '
young officers, without military tradi- 1
tlon, passed raprdly into your hands.
You have shown yourself to be in the
largest sense an organizer, soldier.
chief and great servant of your coun
try, your crowning the generous ef
forts and noble spirit of American with
victory by your armies.".
Voices of Dead to Be Heard.
If the clouds of war should gather
again In the future," concluded the
marshal, "would not these dead rise
from their tombs and make their voices
heard once more by a world which al
ready knows that the same cause, the
cause of liberty, has united us since
the time of Washington and Lafayette V
General Pershing replied by bidding
farewell to France In the person of
the marshal, "to her gallant pollus, to
her patriotic men and to her noble
women.
"You have done me the signal honor,'- .
he said, "of paying me a final visit. It
is fitting that you should be the last to
whom 1 say farewell, because of our
Intimate service together In the days ot
anxiety and victory.
"The American army, in fulfillment
of the will of the people, came to France
because we stood for the same princi
ples of right and because the common
Ideals of the two countries called for
mutual action upon this foundation.
Close comradeship and co-operation
rapidly moulded our fresh and aggres
sive young manhood Into an army
which, under you as the allied leader, .
was to turn the tide of war.
Constant Friendship Assured.
"To have fought beside the glorious
army of France and been of your peo
ple during more than two years has
given our relations an affectionate
touch and makes our parting one of
sadness. But In these deep sentiments
there is an abiding confidence between
ur peoples which Insures to the world
ur constant friendship and our com
mon purpose in behalf of humanity.
In leaving with France our dead, we
are consoled to feel that their graves
will be tenderly cared for and become
sacred shrine that will still more
firmly bind us together."
Then the general and Marshal Foch
walked arm-in-arm to the gang-plank, .
exchanging final salutes as the mar
tial stepped ashore.
