' ' .." r- i : . . on February. 10. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. A possible foundation "for another season of sen ate debate on the- peace treaty was lid today by democratic leaders as a 1 seqiiel to the collapse yesterday of bi; t partisan informal negotiations for a compromise .'on reservations.'. - . Notiqe was .served' by . Senator Walsh, Montana, : one. of 'the demo cratic members of the disbanded bi partisan committee, , tha.t on February 10, a motion would be "made "to re sume consideration of the treaty iii open senate. He spoke for the demo cratic senate leader, Senator Hitch cock, who was absent. The announcement developed no de bate. A little later; however, the sen ate was given a cvbncrete reminder of the amount of oratory it already had expended on the treaty. Senator Smoot. republican, Utah, exhibiting a 3000 pagre volume , containing 7.3OO.000 words spoken in the senate last sum mer and fall. Although a vote is-10 .days away, there were indications that the divi sion in the senate might- not be along the same lines-' of demarkation that have obtained generally during the treaty fight. - The first impulse of some of the treaty's irreconcilable foes .was to vote for the democratic motion on the theory that more discussion would arouse further .public opposition' to ratification, while others of the ir reconcilables held to the position that the treaty was dead and should be left dead. Some of the mild reservation re publicans were' inclined to favor fur ther debate as the only possible waj to ratification, but others Relieved it only would consume time that should be devoted to legislation. There have been intimations, too, that a number of democrats would prefer to try some other method of private negotiation before reopening debate. It was generally predicted that it the democratic move proved success ful as the party leaders said it would, the lineup behind it would be a com bination of democrats, mild reserva- tionists and irreconcilables. It was indicated that the republican leaders would make an effort to re quire a two-thirds majority for bringing the treaty before the senate. Under the rules, they said, two-thirds would be necessary, but it was pointed out that Vice-President Mar shall bad held-throughout the treat) controversy that a majority could proceed as it pleased with treaty con sideration.

Some remarkable predictions are contained in Frederick Soddy's book "Science and Life," which is published today. Soddy is professor of physical chemistry at Oxford and is famous for his researches into the nature of elements and particularly into radium and its cognates. He writes: "Discoveries in radioactivity have shown that in the smallest atoms of matter all around us there exist stores of energy a million times greater than any so far harnessed. Limitless physi cal power awaits humanity as soon as knowledge that shall lead to It control and application has been ob tained. There was nothing extrava gant in the alchemists' dreams ot . turning base metal - into gold. -Elements could be transmuted into one another if we could slightly vary the ' atoms in them. ' "To get gold from mercury," he , says, "expel from an atom of mercury ",ae beta-particle, which will make ' thallium, then one alpha-particle !. which wil ltur"n the thallium into ) gold. Or to get gold from lead ex . pel from an atom one alpha-particle y which will turn it into mercury and proceed as before." -. The alpha-particles in a natom are positively charged, the beta particles re negatively are negatively charged. Professor Rutherford of Montreal- and Profes sor iiuddy have found that the atoms of the radio-elements are in process of " spontaneous disintegration, in which small parts of the original atoms are expelled with enormous velocity as alpha-rays or alpha particles. The residue of the atom forms an entirely new element which usually Is itself unstable and proceeds to un dergo a definite sequence of similar successive disintegrations sometimes alnha.narticlPR. sometimes T),' f M -1151 T- ticles being expelled at each change. The alpha-particles have been proved to be atoms of the element helium expelled from the parent element with a velocity varying from 9000 to 13,000 miles per second. . Minor Question Involving Distribu tion or Royalties Are Still '" - to Be Settled. ' ' WASHINGTON', Jan. 31. The dead lock on the-oil. land, leasing bill, whtch has been in conference for three months, was broken today when a compromise agreement on the socalled remedial provisions of the oil section was reached by the conference. While this virtually amounts to a final agreement on the bill, minor ques tions involving the distribution of royalties derived from producing .oil wells remain to be setled next week. Under the compromise transfer of surplus oil lands after October 31 last by persons holding more than 3200 acres,, the. maximum allowed under the bill, would be declared void. . . Senator Smoot, Utah, said tonight that the conference left to himself and Representative Sinnott of Oregon, chairman of the house managers, de termination of the -royalty distribu tion provision. They hope to reach a final agreement on Monday. and the Pacific-coast.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. There is various ports of Europe. I nothing fundamentally wrong with jthe government -of. the United States and there is no need of change in existing social standards and ecoreom f ic laws, representatives of seven na tional farm organizations declared in a memorial adopted at a conference here yesterday and presented Friday to congress. The organizations subscribing to the memorial are the International Farm congress. National Farmers' congress. National Grange, American Farm Bureau Federation, National Farmers' union, American Cotton Growers' Association and National Federation of Milk Producers In a discussion of national issues, the. memorial declares that the farm ers are emphatically opposed to gov ernment ownership and operation of railroads on the ground that it "against good policy and the prin ciple of soundi Americanism. Congress is called upon to expedite the enactment of legislation provid ing for the return of the railroads to private ownership with as few re strictions as are necessary to protect the public interest. The memorial denounced govern ment price fixing as interference with the law of supply and demand and declares it is a dangerous combina tion to permit any group of citizens to sell their products in a regulated market and to buy their supplies in an unregulated market. Profiteering is condemned by the farmers, who declare that those who continued to exact excessive profits in dealing in the necessities of life are unmindful of the "danger signals that are only too apparent." .. The practice of indiscriminate striking for trivial causes and re gardless of distress or damage is in defensible, the memorial states, but the right to cease work, individually or collectivoly, is unassailable. Opposition to compulsory military training is voiced by the farmers. Recognition of the rights of farm ers in collective bargaining as em bodied in the Capper-Hersman bill, how pending in congress, is .advo cated, and strict economy in govern ment expenditures urged. "This is the best country the sun shines on," the memorial concludes. "Its opportunities are boundless and are open to every citizen who cares to avail himself of them. Its govern ment is the best in the world. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with it and a man who would injure or destroy it is unfit to live under the protection of its flag." 225 POEMS SUBMITTED State Song ' Contest Closes and Judging Will Begin.
