eTnmenta to the International dairy
congress in the United Stales In 1923.
Mr Reed was on his feet in an in

"Can the senator guarantee that
there will be'no treaties evolved, by
that meeting? I am getting so I am
afraid of ail of them."

alliance, he said: N
"I don't know where such an im
pression could have" been obtained,
for it is obvious that if any Japanese
diplomatist should make a statement
bf that character, the texts of the
two documents, which are very un
like each other, would be sufficient
to display the absurdity of bis con
tention." In a more Jocular view Mr. Hani
hara continued:
"As a matter of fact, we have been
affected in more ways than one, by
American prohibition, In accepting
the four-poweY treaty we have ac
cepted water for whisky. But we did '

claring the four-power Pacific treaty
to be "the death warrant of China."
Senator Reed, democrat, Missouri,
fieak!ng in the senate today, x
I.ressed the belief that "it was
brought here by Japan and England
and practically agreed to in advance."
i Adherence to the treaty, he said, made
the United States, "a party to the rape
of Shantunir." r
Senator Heed declared the United
States had "yielded to Japan tre
. mendously important vantage points
from which to strike at America."
He added that by the agreement the
United States had consented to re
tention by Japan, "of any almost im
pregnable cordon of potential naval
bases for her defense which virtually
would render her immune from at
- tack." 1
Mr. Reed also seized on the an
nouncement of the naval reduction
agreement, saying that "it appears
that the United States truckles to
Japan." He asserted that while the
American government's navy was
being cut, Japanese would be per
mitted to retain the great Mutsu, "a
irreat floating arsenal, excelling in
peed and potentiality anything we
have or ever can have for the period
of the treaty's life."
The treaty, Mr. Reed continued, as
sures England and Japan of suprem
acy in the Pacific and that Japan's
rontrol of the Marshall and Caroline
islands brought her base of opera
tions 200 0 miles toward the United
States and erected what amounted to
fortifications between the United
States and Japan and the Philippines.
so because our primary object was
accord.
When "the vice-minister was asked
exactly what he meant he replied
with the question, "Well, isn t whisky
(meaning the Anglo-Japanese alli
ance) stronger than water?"

Japan Rales China's Const.
"It would compel us to run the
gauntlet of Japanese guns in case of
controVersy," said Mr. Reed, "and

of China's coast."
While the assault on the four
power Pacific treaty was in progress
In the senate, administration spokes
men took their first notice of the sen
ate discussions and let it be known
that they did not regard. the treaty
as imposing an obligation to take up
arms.
No provision of the new agreement,
it was declared in highest I adminis
tration circles. 'obligates any one of
the four powers to take military
measures in pursuance of decision
reached by consultations among
them. It was added that any such
guarantee did not. In any sense, rep
resent the spirit of the treaty.
1nderMnmUng Is Reiterated.
The officials were not willing to go
further, in Interpreting the pact, but
In response to questions they reiter
ated their understanding, that "the
region of the Pacific ocean." as the
term Is used in the treaty text, in
cludes the principal islands of the
Japanese empire and Australia and
New Zealand, as well. British spokes,
men have Indorsed that application
of the term and have declared it to
be the unanimous understanding on
which the treaty was signed.
The attack on the treaty in the
senate during the day was made by
Senator Reed democrat Missouri, who
referred to V" question of including
Japan proper "P -hin tne scope of the
pact and dcfh.l an obligation was
ii.cluded for protection of Japanese
territorial integrity. He again char
acterized the arrangen-er.t as an al
liance by which the United States
would have little to gain and much to
liise.
I.nnKimge Not Kxplnlnrd.
Senator Reed also declared the four-
power plan might compel the United
States to go to war against China or
Russia. On this point efficial admin
istration spokesmen have insisted re-
featedly that the treaty In no way
effects the mainland of Asia and
could not be invoked in relation to
questions arising within the Chinese
tr Russian territory.
Further than this there has been
no attempt by the administration to
Jrterpret or explain the language of
the treaty, repeated queries meeting
with the response that the text of the
agreement speaks for itself
The same attitude of Silence has
been adopted by administration sen
ators and after the three-hour attack
on the four-power Pacific treaty
today by Senator Reed. Senator Cur
tis of Kansas, their party whip, an
nounced there would be no discussion
of the subject until it is formally sub
mitted by President Harding.
People's Drcifilon Proponed.
Mr. Curtis' statement was made, it
Is understood as an explanation for
the fact that.no speeches had been
made in favor of the treaty and in
reply to the attacks of Senators Reed
and Borah, republican, Idaho.
Senator Reed, however, alxsounced
that he proposed to send "the treaty
to the American people just as was
done with the treaty of Versailles"
and he predicted that by the time the
voters have an opportunity to act on
the question, "they will know that
this treaty has all of the vices
charged to the treaty of Versailles
with none of its virtues."
Mr. Reed declared he could see
nothing but troubles in the new
agreement and attacked the adminis
tration for what he described as
"changing face," saying there was
no difference, except grammatical
changes between the four-power iact
and the Versailles covenant. His
speech throughout was Interspersed
with attacks on Great Britain and
Japan, each of whom he declared had
come to the armament conference
with the avowed purpose of getting
themselves "out of a hole."
Pacific Const Considered.
"This treaty ties us up with the
only nation that has shown us an
ugly pair of teeth in years," he con
tinued. "I wonder what the people of
the Pacific coast think of their new
protector. I wonder if they feel that
they can go to bed at night and say
"Oh well, J,apan will watch over us.'
Ah, senators, we refuse to make a,
treaty protect France from Germany,
but we make an alliance with Japan
to protect her loot."
The Missouri senator said that al
though some of the supporters were
talking privately of the good fellow
ship to be brought in the nations by
the treaty, he could not arrive at any
such conclusion.
"This longing for good-fellowship
Is very geod ab oratorical extrava
ganza," he added, -but this silly long
ing for a foreign stepmother makes
me sick."

PARIS, Dec. 16. (By th Associated
VPress. The reply of the allied
reparations commission to the note of
the German government announcing
its Inability to pay the next two
reparations Installments will be for
warded to Berlin tonight by special
courier.
The reply was a simple acknowl
edgment of Germany's notification of
her inability to meet the payments,
the commission reserving final de
cision on Germany's request for an ex
tension of the time limit.
Meanwhile the allied governments
will consult with one another on the
question, presumably at a meeting of
the supreme council, which, it was
learned today on good authority, prob
ably would be held soon after Preraiei
Briand returned from London.
Three Finns Suggested.
The allied experts Indicated there
were three methods through which
Germany nrlght possibly meet the
reparations payments. One would be
to use the money held by German na
tionals abroad, who probably would
refuse to give it up: another, to use
the billion gold marks reserve of the
German Reichsbank, which might
produce financial chaos, and the third
to have Germany use her paper
money to buy foreign exchange,
which wild be disastrous.
These methods,' they said, probably
would lead to a more serious situa
tion than default in the payment..,

A man's own ideas regarding the selection of gifts for men
It is a man who writes this, a man capable of dis
cerning the peculiarities of themasculine mind and able
to draw himself away from business sufficiently to con
sider a man's viewpoint even to the exclusion of this
store's interest in the matter.
' It is part of the real man's mission to work for the
happiness of others, and his first thought at Christmas
is of the joy he can give to someone appreciative of the
love a well chosen gift expresses.
For rnmself the real man asks nothing in the way of
presents, he doesn't permit himself to expect any, per
haps and yet the larger his heart the more it is touched
by any present that is for him.
In view of this, think how important it is that your
gifts to a man be selected with care indicative of your
respect for the preferences that would guide him were
he to do the choosing himself.
Our Men's Shops have built their success by means
of their complete recognition of men's tastes and wishes,
and now in the gift buying season here is a place to pur
chase men's gifts with entire assurance of their accept
ability this especially of importance to women who are
more or less unfamiliar with the merchandise for men.
