WASHINGTON. T. C, March 28. -Five hours of debate on the naval "limitation treaty today revealed a vir tually unanimous senate sentiment In -ittt favor and resulted in an agree- ,:,mtnt to vote finally upon its ratmca Jtion at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. '-. Throughout the day's discussion not fa. single voice was raised in opposi tion, although from the. -democratic eide there were numerous expressions ... . of disappointment that the. treaty did "J;not go further in the direction, of both " land and eea disarmament. Claiming- a ehare of credit for the reduction actually accomplished, the .democrats at the same time sought to f show that the whole idea, of an arma 7 ment conference originated with the "'democratic congress of 1916 and final- iy was forced upon a reluctant re publican administration. Inanimona Approval Predicted. Tonight the administration leaders r -vcera predicting that the ratification f .would be unanimous and that the sub '"marine and poison-gas treaty would ". lie approved by a like vote before ad- journraent tomorrow night.

' Debate on the naval treaty, which v began with today's session, was de ! void of the colorful toucheB which - iiad characterized the fight over the ' four-power pact. Senator Lodge of 'Massachusetts, the republican lead ' er, explained the treaty's provisions in " a detailed statement of more than two hours, and later Senator Under i. wood of Alabama, floor leader for ' the democrats and like Senator Lodge, - a member of the American arms dele- 4 cation, added his approval in a short speech declaring the treaty would be , accepted as an epochal achievement ; by the American people regardless of - party. Hitchpoclc Takes Load. senator Hitchcock or Nebraska, se- '- Jilor democrat on the foreign rela -.. tions committee, took the lead in ' claiming for his party the credit to e derived from the accomplishment of the conference. He pointed out that ' the naval appropriation bill of 1916 contained a. suggestion for such a J conference and declared that the 2 resolution for a conference introduced . a year- ago by Senator Borah, repub- , iican. Idaho, was heartily supported by the democrats of the senate and was opposed actively by President ; Harding. The assertions of Senator Hitch cock regarding the president's attl ; tude were denied by Senator Kellogg, lepublicah, Minnesota, who said Mr. -Harding has been anxious for an in ternational meeting of minds, al though he might have withheld ap proiiu irora some or the specific pro- iuais in mat airection considered in congress.

Senator Borah, author of .the conference resolution, asked how it could remain a political issue, "with "one partv groins- in the fmnt dui. h J the other going in the back door." In the course of his address Sena tor Lodge replied in detail to charges 5 recently made by Senator Reed, dem ocrat, Missouri, that the treaty would fnot in fact establish a five-five-three naval ratio between the United T States, Great Britain and Japan. Such ; a conclusion, Mr. Lodge declared, was .based entirely on - misinformation. ".Senator Reed, the only senator who -has made a general attack on th j naval treaty, is absent from Wash 't ington and is not expected to return in time for tomorrow's ratification said, "who will you have for presi dent?"

Colonel Hofer as the guiding genius of the organization, placed him in nomina tion. Instantly there was applause lasting for some time. Quiet being restored, the nomination was seconded and there was more cheering. Motion Is Withdrawn. Then someone arose and moved that nominations be closed and Colonel Hofer be. declared unanimously elected. There seemed no leadership on the anti-Hofer side and nothing was said until the colonel gestured to Mr. Raker to put the motion. "Were I the chairman, I would not put that motion," said Mr. Raker.

Omdel of the Norwegian naval air force, who arrived' today with the explorer, took up the question of testing the monoplane at Central park. Omdel, who will pilot the ship, is an expert mechanic and as he will have to look after the plane himself, he plans immediately familiarizing himself with it Conferences Are Planned. Amundsen has not decided tonight whether he would carry out his plan of flying from New York to Seattle the plane. Aeronautical experts have tried to convince him that such trip would put an unnecessary strain on a ship that has so much flying before her in the next few years. . The explorer plans to leave for Washington in about a week for conferences there with government officials and scientific authorities and then will proceed to Seattle, where the Maude is to be drydocked. One of the objects of Captain Amundsen s visit to Washington is to complete arrangements for wire less relays. His radio plan at present consists of flashing reports from airplane to motorships. The plane is equipped with transmitting apparatus of 2000 miles radius. The ship then will communicate with Alaska and Nome will relay to the powerful station St, Paul on the Bering sea. St. Paul will send the messages directly to Wash ington. Ten Men to Be Taken Along. . Amundsen said he would take ten men with him when he sets out for Nome to drift to Spitzbergen, .with food sufficient for seven years. Be cause of ice and dangerous currents in the north pole regions the explorer believes the only investigation possi ble there will be from the air. Besides Omdel, Amundsen will take with him another pilot. Odd Dahl, also a Norwegian, who will have charge of the Avro, and who is proceeding to Seattle by way of the Panama canal. Captain Oscar Whisting will com mand the Maude, and G. Olonkin will be chief engineer. Dr. H. U. Sverdrup will be the scientist attached to the expedition. The others of the person nel will be seamen. Hard Work Is Kxpeeted. 'It is all a great adventure to me," said Captain Amundsen, "and I look forward to my venture with much genuine pleasure. Of course, I real ize that there is hard work to be done and that there are hardships to be undergone, but the glamor of the whole thing minimizes all of that As you may know, I purpose doing that which no polar explorer has ever yet tried, and that is to float over the north pole on an ice field.

August Probst, ex-butler at the Rolling Rock club, near Pittsburg, who charged he was being "railroaded" out of the country because of a love affair with Miss Virginia Craigie McKay, prom,i nent society girl, was illegally or dered deported. Federal Judge Knox ruled today, in a decision on Probst's habeas corpus action. Probst was held, however, for further de portation proceedings. Judge Knox considered only the question of whether Probst, a Swiss national, and . admittedly an alien seaman illegally in the country through desertion of his ship, had had a fair hearing. Allegations of insanity made in the complaint on which he was ordered deported pre viously had been disposed of by Judge Knox. Unless a board of special Inquiry of immigration quickly gives Probst a new hearing, supplementing the ex amination by a single immigration in spector. Judge Knox said he would consider another application for Probst's release. Judge Knox, while pointing out that he had not gone into the merits of Probst's allegations that he was be ing "railroaded" out of the country because of the alleged " love affair, commented that there appeared to bo little to support them. Probst's claim was that" ha was escorted from the Rolling Rock club by two armed men and brought to New Tork and imprisoned by two de tectives, ' after he admitted he and Miss McKay had "exchanged vows." Mr.: and Mrs. H. A.

FARM BLOC VICTOBJOUS SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE ADOPTS TARIFF RATES. Schedule Covering Agricultural Products Accepted and Whole Programme Is Successful. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, March 28. Com plete victory for the western farm bloc appeared to have been accepted today when the finance committee agreed to adopt the last of the rates on agricultural products presented by Senator Gooding of Idaho, chair man of the bloc. The rate of 1 cents a pound on dried beans, carried in -the Fordney bill, passed by the house, was in creased to 3 cents a pound. The rates on clover, alfalfa and all grass seeds were raised from the sliding scale of 1 to 3 cents, carried In the Fordney bill, to a flat rate of 4 cents a pound. The farm bloc rates on wool already have been adopted. 'Every rate asked by the farm bloc will be in the bill when re ported out of the senate finance com mittee," Senator Gooding said. "For the first time the producers of farm products have received everything they asked, and what they are en titled to receive, because their sena tors effected an organization which was able to go out and demand what was right. The woolen schedule, which supplants schedule K in this bill, is the first absolutely honest wool schedule ever presented to any congress." The finance committee decided to day on a rate of $6.25 a ton on magne- site ore, and a rate of ?8 a ton on magnesite dead-burned, which is much lower than the rates carried in the house bill. Senator Polndexter said that he would make an effort to Increase the rate by an amend ment on the floor of the senate. The rate of 1 cents a pound on zinc, in the house bill, has been reduced by the senate committee to 1 cents pound, but Senator Gooding was confident this afternoon that the committee would restore the house rate before reporting the measure. AUTO CAMP DISCUSSED Committee of Canby Business Men Appointed to Investigate. CANBY, Or., March 28. (Special.)

The Genoa conference will either be a shining star or a will o' the wisp, Chancellor Wlrth told the reichstag today at the conclusion of an hour's discussion of the de cisions of- the reparations commis sion. If the Genoa conference proves a will o' the wisp instead of a ehinlng star that will brighten tjie' path of reconstruction," he added, "then the problem of rehabilitating Europe In general, and Germany in particular, will continue to be treated in a spirit of arbitrary dictation." Throughout his speech the chancel lor was unusually frank in his criti cism of the allies' treatment of the reparations problem, charging that the commission either was unamen able to everyday logic or had per sistently neglected to. acquaint itself with the actual status of Germany's economic situation. The reparations decision, accompanied by a note which the chancellor said was couched in a needlessly severe tone, had not only aroused national indignation, but incidentally had added 28,000, 000,000 marks to the German budget in consequence of the unprecedented slump of the mark, which set in auto matically with the note's arrival. He reminded the allies of their pre vious assurances that the reparations commission was not entitled to such prerogatives. , Wastefulness Is Denied. Denying that the German govern ment was wasteful in the conduct of its administrative -organism, the speaker pointed out that two entente generals are receiving more pay than President Ebert and the entire cabi net. He estimated that two-thirds of the budget, as now computed, was reserved for the entente's demands, leaving one-third for the nation's needs. With regard to the question of an international loan, Dr. Wirth hoped the government soon would be able to start active negotiations, but he feared the barriers reared by "world capital" in the Versailles treaty would effectively militate against Germany s ability to obtain financial relief abroad under tolerable conditions. A moratorium, he said, would have definitely stabilized German exchange. In the course of his analysis of the various points in the reparations de cisions, Dr. Wirth rejected the de mand that the German government levy an additional tax of 60,000,000,000 marks on the ground It was both a financial and technical impossibility. Hearers Applaud Chancellor. Liberal applause greeted the decla ration that the German government must politely decline, the suggestion of financial and economic guardian ship. "This," declared the chancellor," "is Incompatible with the dignity of the nation and is opposed to the spirit of democracy which we founded at the entente's behest. Such an invasion of a sovereign state is also in violation of the principle of self-determination. we already have had our fill of un satisfactory experience with control commissions of all sorts, and must summarily reject the proposal that the reparations commission be given a still wider latitude than already has Deen concedes it in connection with its supervisory functions." "We are badly in need of a breath ing spell," he continued, "in order to co-ordinate our affairs a.id put the financial and economic measures adopted into active practice." Keonomy Is PromiHed. The only comfort afforded the rep arations commission by the govern ment'a statement was conveyed in the promise that Germany would proceed to inaugurate the most stringent econ omy in all governmental departments She would endeavor- to extract the maximum revenue from the various tax sources to be opened through the laws about to be put into execution. The government would also subject the commission's recommendations to a further scrutiny in an endeavor to arsive at a mutual working basis. Alluding early in his speech to the taxation compromise, which had been reached by the good will of the oppos ing parties In the reichstag. Dr. Wirth said it would form an integral part of (.iermany s foreign policy which, how ever, would become involved and dis turbed by the reparations commis sion's demands. Germany's direct taxation, he declared, was developing on a scale unparalleled in the world The chancellor then emphasized the exhaustion following the war, to which must be added the unseen bur dens falling on the nation through the exchange conditions. Proof Is Offered. As striking proof that a "policy of violence cannot further reparations, he pointed out that the effect of the reparations commission's demands had been "to upset the whole plan of the budget and through depreciation of the mark to augment the budget deficit." The reichstag was crowded and the chancellor Irequently was applauded his speech apparently winning favor with all except the communist party PAPER " MONEY IS TARGET British Delegation Wants Cessation of New Currency Issuance.
