NEW LINEUP-"INDICATED
Senator .Walsh to Move Resump
tion of Consideration, on Floor.

. 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. GOLD FROM LEAD, DREAM

" LONDON, Jan: 3V. (Special Cable.)
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.

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."
