THE SUNDAY OBEGOMAX, I'OHTLAXD, MARCH 21, 1920 3 3 COURSES OH PACT 10 OPEN TO PES EMT Wilson Has Power to Nego tiate Separate Peace. OTHER STEPS POSSIBLE Cliior Can Keturn Treaty to Senate or Trout It hs Dead letter Un til I'coplc (Jive VcrUict. TTASHINGTON. March 20. After a troulled eicht months' sojourn in the Semite, the treaty with Germany was back in the keening of President Wilson tonisht with a note appended .'tying that ratification had been re fused. What the president's next move would be remained conjectural. The general fcelinff of officials about the capitol was that Mr. Wilson probably would let the treaty lie on his desk whiie the "bitter controversy it has raised is fought out in the political Campaign. The treaty was taken back to the the. day by a from - ..' White Hnusc early in . : hew of official and messengers - ,. tiie senate, in pursuance of an order ' adopted last ni'lit after a fourth vote ..' -. on ratification had failed to muster the necessary two-thirds. It was de- liverrd to Secretary TumiTUy. who re- '. , ceipted for it in the name of the ... president. It eon II Movement In Started. Scarcely had the bulky document ' passed physically out of the capitol ".

" ' '; the prediction of leaders on both '. sides was that no proposal for an- ..- .' other reconsideration would take so rinnq form. ' The unsettled state of senate rtheless had the effect ' . 'of slowing up the, plans of the repub- '". ' lican lea'lers for passage of a decla ' ration of nraie. and it was dccnled 9rmr m m v conferences that the reso lution for that purpose probably " ". would not be urged before late next ;.'

"..'. ; Intil some affirmative action is ;i . taken by congress-or the president to '. f end the war status legally, the technl '. '-' cal position of the country remains, ;Vi; officials say. just what it was the '' .. ciay the armistice was signed. Srvernl I'ounni Open to W Hmoii. i Three courses are open to Mr. Wil- son. He can return the treaty to the " : senate, in which case the republican leaders declare it will be pigeonholed indefinitely; he can do nothing, while --,.! he waits for the verdict of the people . '' in the political campaign, or he can i , . treat tne t.-eatv as a dead letter, so . . far as international diplomacy is con- . cerned, and proceed to negotiate ' separate peare with Germany, a. step which he alone under the constitu- - . , tion could Initiate. ' . War legislation continues in force '., ". and under the war department in- '. . terpretation of the .situation the pres- , -. ' ident retains his war power as com- 'if mander-inr hief to keep American t,'-."J troops at whatever ports in Germany "y - he thinks necessary to enforce the ' '. armistice terms. -. The president has expressed em- "- ' .' phatic disapproval of securing a tcch- , ' nical peace status by any method ex- L: .' . . cept ratification of the treaty. Sen- - ators generally do not believe he has .'... altered that position, and republican !'' senate leaders confidently expect that . ' if they pass a peace resolution he will " veto it. "f I'aet Returned o IVIIfton. ".'. ' Senate officials who have had .-' ' physical custody of the treaty since V. July 10. when I'resident Wilson him self carried it into the senate chambr'rs. lost no time in obeying o return it to the Whito mpanied by several mes sengers. Goorge A. Sanderson, secre tary of the senate, took it to the ex- ecutive office early this morning and , had to wait nearly an hour before Mr. Tumulty appeared to receipt for it. The big volume, wrapped in brown .'' japer and bound up with red tape, at .! first was taken into the office of '.J Kudolph Forester, executive clerk of .', the White House, but Mr. Sanderson ; , declined to leave It until he had a r receipt signed by the secretary to the president. When Mr. Tumulty arrived - he went for a talk with the president. Almost an hour elHpsed before he re r ., turned to find the treaty on his desk and Mr. Sanderson and his assistants V waiting. -l.rt It Lit." Says Tumult. v. After the receipt had been signed, r- one of the messengers took up the . treaty to band it to Secretary Tu 'i multy. but the latter demurred. . "Let it lie there." said Mr. Tumulty, and the delegation from the senate departed. "Whichever of the three courses Mr. Wilson chooses, a long dt:lay seems inevitahle before he can bring the rautitry to a full peace status, and the state department holds that wtil such a status is attained the present diplomatic and trade relations with Germany might be continued. There is an American commissioner In Berlin- representing the United Plates unofficially, but he is not re garded as having diplomatic status. All negotiations of a diplomatic char acter are .conducted through the Spanish ambassador there. In the Consular field, too. the United States Btill is represented in Germany by Suaiiisb agents. Revival Hxpeeted to Collapse. The move of some senators to re call the treaty and try auain for ratification was in a nebulous stage tonight and the general prediction was that It would collapse before the senate meets Monday. ome of the mild reservation repub licans are understood to have with-"held- their decision regarding a peare declaration until there was no possi bility of a reconsideration of the rat ification vote. There also was some j y uncertainty- among the republican ir ' if reconcilables. some of whom do not " r BnnmvA nf that Kprtinn of thm Vnn the principle of an international court and disarmament. ! The republican leaders, however, hoped in the end to agree on some form of peace which will command solid republican support. Pence Declaration la Anted. The text of Mr. Tinkham'a resolu tion follows: "Resolved, By the senate and house t representatives of the United States of America in congress assem bled, that the joint resolution of con-a-ress, passed April C, 1917. declaring 'a slate of war exists between the imperial German government and the government and people of the United States, and making provisions to presecute same,' be and the same is hereby repealed, provided, however. that until the German government notifies the government of the United States that it acquiesces and confirms irrevocably to the United States all undertakings and covenants con tained in the treaty of Versailles, conferring upon or assuring to the United States or its nationals any rights, powers, or benefits whatso ever, and concedes to the United States all rights, privileges, indem nities, reparations and advantages to which the United States would have been entitled were it a ratify mg party to the said treaty, th president of the United States shall have power by proclamation, to pro hibit commercial intercourse betwee the United States and Germany an the making of loans or credits, an the furnishing of financial assistanc or supplies to the German govern ment or the inhabitants of Germany directly or indirectly, by the gov ernment of the United States or the inhabitants of the United States, romrnon Sfnw,"1 SayM Tinkham. "Any violations of the prohibition contained in such proclamation by th president shall be punishable as pro' vided in section 16 of the trading with the enemy act, approved Octobe 6, 1317. "It is further resolved that it shal be the declared policy of the United States that the freedom and peace Europe being again threatened by any power or combination of powers, the United States will regard such situation with grave concern and will consider what, if any, action it will take in the premises." In a statement explaining his reso lution, Mr. Tinkham. said: "Common sense and the logic of events dictated this course much more powerfully now than when the treaty failed last November." Failure of the senate to ratify the treaty, it was learned today, will net halt the .negotiations between the United States and the allies on the Turkish settlement. SENATE ACTION CRIMINAL BR VAX CALLS TREATY DEFEAT DISGRACE TO XATfbX. - ?. v rhambe'rs. losl "f j the mandate to House. ccom Constitutional Amendment Sug gottul to IVrnit Ratification by Majority of Both Houses. NEW HAVEN, Conn., March 20 W. J. Bryan, in an interview on the rejection of the treaty, today said: "Defeat of the treaty is a colossal crime against our country and the world. If we allow a minority of the senate to dictate the policy of the senate on this momentous question. we betray democracy and turn our faces backward toward arbitrary power, and arbitrary power as exer cised by a few is scarcely less hateful than arbitrary power as exercised by one. "The action of the senate is the more disgraceful because the rejec tion was brought about by a union between a group of democrats and the irreconcilable foes of the treaty, whom the democrats have been de nouncing for eight months. If the action of the senate is permitted to stand we invite confusion at home and chaos abroad. "But the action of the senate should not be allowed to stand as the verdict of the nation. The majority in coni gress should assert itself at once, first, by declaring the war at an end: second, by declaring in favor of the nation's participation in the league of nations on such terms as the majority shall agree upon; third, by proposing an amendment to the constitution, permitting a majority of the senate and house to ratify a treaty by joint resolution and in the same way define the nation's foreign policy, thus mak ing it as easy to end a war as to begin it. "In the meantime, the people should wire and write to senators and the president urging ratification. A change of four votes will be sufficient." Phegley & Cavender COR. FOURTH AND ALDER STS.

RAIDS HELD BENEFICIAL Revolution in United States Avert ed by Arrests, Says Johnson. NEW YORK, March 20. Only the recent "red" raids and deportations of alien radicals saved the United States from an 'organized attempt at revolution," Representative Albert Johnson of Washington, chairman of the house committee on immigration declared in an address today. He de clared a law to "provide punishment for wilful incitement to sedition would do more than anything else o make conservatives feel safe as to the future and let the radical ele ment know just where it can go without getting beyond bounds. 'The greatest misfortune the Upited States has," he continued, "is that aliens here from all the countries participate in our ' political affairs." 'Such participation, . he added, is a right which should belong only to itizens." SEATTLE SLATER MISSING WARXIXG SEXT TO WATCH FOB, MAX IX 'BLUE BUG." Autoist Thought to Possess Re volver Similar to That Used in Killing Is Traced South. SEATTLE, Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) The slayer of Walter Bagnell, clerk in the Aero Alarm company here and former navy man, who was shot and killed in the woods near Des Moines February 29, headed for the south in an automobile, depu ties learned today, and the police of southern Washington and Oregon have been asked to look for him.

He wore a sot dier's overcoat and on the seat be side him was a 32-caliber revolver. The station-tender noticed the gun. The shot that killed Bagnell was from a ..12 revolver. The next trace of the man and the blue bug was picked up in Yelm, lust across the Thurston county line. He was seen there the night of March 8. oner week after the murder and his visit to Tacoma.
