THE SUNDAY OREGOX1AN, PORTLAND, MAY 16, 1920 PEACE RESOLUTION ADOPTED IN SENATE Vote to Declare War at End ' Is 43 to 38. Mr. Hearst Now Assumes Menacing Attitude. CONFERENCE ACTS NEXT Veto of Final Iraft of Declaration by President Considered Fore gone Conclusion.. " WASHINGTON. May 15. With few thrills .nd no hitch in the prear ranged programme, the senate today adopted, 43 to 38, the republican reso lution declaring the state of war with Germany and Austria-Hungary at an end. The measure was in the form of a substitute for the peace resolution recently adopted by the house, which dealt .with Germany alone. The two proposals will be adjusted 111 con ference beginning next week, the re sult to be indorsed by both houses and the final resolution to be sent to the president for signature. That the president will veto it is a foregone conclusion, unchallenged by any speaker during1 debate in the house or senate. It is uncertain when the final resolution will reach the White House, but republican leaders anticipate no difficulty in putting through a conference draft with little delay. The senate substitute goes to the house Monday. Three Democrats In Favor. The senate vote today gave a xna- Jonty of five as predicted by demo era tic leaders. Leaders for the Knox substitute and the party alignment were about that anticipated. Three democrats Reed of Missouri. Shields of Tennessee and Walsh of Massachusetts joined the republicans in supporting the resolu tion. Two republicans McCumber of North Dakota. who was paired, and Nelson of Minnesota -lined up with the democratic opposition. Predictions by leaders on both ides that the treaty of Versailles would remain in its present unratified posi tion indefinitely were made. Senator , .Underwood. Alabama, in his first speech as democratic leader, declared the republicans apparently had "fore closed" action on the treaty for the present session of congress. From the republican side, Senator Harding, re publican. Ohio, declared the resolu tion was a demonstration against the "one-man rule" of President Wilson. Action Declared Futile. The resolution was denounced as 1 futile, impotent, useless and done for no other than political purposes, to "deceive the people," by Senator , "Hitchcock of Nebraska, administra- i tion spokesman. He also reiterated, against - republican denials, that President Wilson's pronouncement had "pledged" the nation to the league of nations. Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, in explaining his vote in support of the Anox resolution, said: "In my opinion the treaty of Ver allies is so lull of International in justices that is is a service to out country to do whatever I can to pre vent ratification in its original form.' The Knox resolution, he added "was the pnly constructive measure' suggested tending to remove the chaotic state of the country," and pro tested against his party being com pelled to make any such defense in the next election of "the Internationa injustice and robbery," which he said had been placed in the treaty. Three democrats Heed of Missouri, Shields of Tennessee and Walsh of Massachusetts supported the resolu tion. Two republicans McCumber of North Dakota, who was paired, and Nelson of Minnesota opposed the measure. Korry-three Vote for Peace.

No immediate action by the senate looking to the ratification of th treaty of ersailles now appears probable. Senator Underwood of Ala bama. the democratic leader, declared today in the senate in opposing the republican' peace resolution: "This seems to be the closing scene of the drama." said Mr. Underwood, "as far as this country is concerned in the .attempt to conclude a peace with Germany. "The action of the majority party (the republicans) seems to have fore closed further action on the treaty of Versailles, at least for the present." Senator Meyers, democrat, Mon tana, said he opposed the resolution w ith reluctance and because it im posed no terms of punishment on ij. Germany or the former kaiser. dressing it more especially to those from the Pacific coast states.

DECLINE IN MADOO STOCK IS FORECAST PUBLISHER FOR JOHNSON Nomination, Support Would Go to .CI wimp Clark. BROAD POLICY IS ADVOCATED Return of Merchant Marine to Pri vate Ownership Viged. SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. Imme diate adoption of a peace treaty, safe guarding rights of American citizens and return of control of the American merchant marine to private owner ship and operation were striking: feat ures of a national programme for for eigrn trade adopted today at the clos ing session ot the seventh annual foreign trade council convention here. More than 2500 active leaders In OREGONIAN . NEWS BUREAU, Washington, May 15. Just now Will iam Gibbs McAdoo looms as the most likely 'presidential nominee of the democrats at San Francisco, but the former secretary of the treasury , is due for a setback in the form of sharp competition shortly after the repub lican convention completes its delib erations. . William Randolph Hearst disclosed enough of his plans in an interview recently to make it certain that in the event the republicans do not nom inate Hiram Johnson Mr. Hearet will throw the influence of his powerful string of newspapers, reaching all the way across the country, to the side of Champ Clark. When Mr. Hearst was asked about candidates, mentioned for the demo cratic nomination he could think only of one that appealed to him, and he replied I like Champ Clark. Rough Stuff Expected. At the time he gave the assurance that after the republicans have acted at Chicago he will begin to devote his attention to the business to be consid ered at San Francisco, at which time political observers expect "the party to get rough." Mr. McAdoo, regarded as high man today, may give place to someone else tomorrow, and his candidacy, well as that of other democrats, is wholly dependent upon whether foreign trade unanimously adopted Woodrow WUson can control the dem the broad programme urging changes in governmental policy to enable Americans to compete with other na tionals with equality in all foreign countries. The convention closed after four days of intensive study Of all prob lems and relating to international commerce from the American stand point, and the programme was a di gest of needs to improve trade as sug gested by specialists in these prob lems. Among points urged were the fol lowing: "As collateral influences in the programme of expansion of exports and imports, it is important that all interests of producers generally should be safeguarded and maintained ocratic convention and does not claim the nomination himself. The reassurance of Mr. McAdoo'fl candidacy is the result of a process df elimination. A. Mitchell Palmer, at torney-general, or Mitchell Palmer, as he now calls himself, after a distin guished precedent, having been high man for a few moments, is now re garded is being greatly weakened. if not completely eliminated. Mr. Palmer's decline is due to several things; first, his defeat in Georgia, and, secondly, a popular reaction in the democratic party against his method of dealing with aliens. McAdoo Stock Rlaiing. When Mr. Palmer's stock began to go down Mr. 3TcAdoo's began to rise. on a fair and equitable basis; that I Administration, leaning towards Mr. production should be increased to the maximum in order to restore normal conditions of employment and living. "We should build ships for the world markets, as well as for ou r'own requirements. There is no reason why American ships should not again be among the largest of our -exports. Marine insurance can be bes"t carried on by private enterprise. The appro priations for the maintenance of the United'States tariff commission should be increased and its investigations supported by congress and the busi ness public. "Continued development of inland waterways is necessary to the perfec tion of economic trade routes. "There should be such reorganiza tion of the foreign service of the gov ernment as will eliminate any dupli cation of effort and enable it con tinuously to perform that effective work essential to the fullest develop ment of our foreign trade. Need of adequate cable, mail and wireless service to every section of the globe is a prime essential and should be the base of a systematic policy of the government, the pro gramme declared. by the president as a "repudiation" of American obligations. This is the string- upon which the president has long been harping. It is an assump tion . that the negotiation of the treaty by the president made it a valid document and that failure of the senate to ratify conetitutes a "repudiation." Mr. Colby is credited -with eerta'n "eccentricities." but he is a brilliant speaker, affable and approachable, and has been sufficiently identified with, the "wet" element to make hia nomination acceptable to that group and to make Mr. Bryan gnash his teeth with rage. It would, accord ingly, appear that the administration has two candidates in mind, not three, namely Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Colby, and the third possibility the presi dent himself. WilMa Hardly a Race. Even should Mr. Wilson, be able to control the convention it Is extremely doubtful, in view of his physical con dition, that even a most subservient convention could, be Induced to nomi nate him. It is expected that the president will realize this situation himself, although his present atti tude elves no intimation of it and he consistently refuses to withdraw him self from consideration. However, the nomination of an ad ministration candidate depends entire ly upon the administration's ability I to control the convention, which has been made more doubtful by the president's recent telegram to the Oregon democrats, which has prac tically proscribed 21 democratic sen ators and shows the president in an autocratic attitude toward his own party, which will compel party mem bers to fight him in order to brine about their own salvation. In the event of failure to control the convention by the administration. man who has a strong chance to win the nomination is Thomas Riley Marshall, vice-president of the United States, i Mr. Marshall Is regarded as an old-fashioned democrat, it- has been customary not to regard him seriously, but those who know the vice-president will insist that he Is a much bigger man than is generally supposed, and that in bis hands the country would be perfectly safe. Marshall la Reticent. Mr. Marshall deprecates discussion of himself as a candidate, but in the way the situation is lining up at San Francisco the man who arranges a spontaneous demand for himself is much more likely to secure J.he nomi nation than one who frankly acknowl edges he is a candidate and goes out after the place. Accordingly, should the anti - administration democrats control the convention, with the votes of New York and Indiana pooled as nucleus, Mr. Marshall would be in an excellent position. Mr. Bryan is "regarded as impossible. although he has not acknowledged the impossibility and will vigorously advertise the fact at San Francisco. He has commenced by throwing a bucket of tacks at the head of Gov ernor Cox, of Ohio, and writing "brewery" in large letters on the banner of the Ohioan. Mr. Bryan may be expected to continue these gentle diversions until the nomination is made, and even afterwards.

Endeavor to Involve Aation and United States Made While With Foreign Office. EERUX, May 13. (By the Associ ated Press.) Herr von Kremnitz, who is a candidate of the German people's party for election to the reichstag, admits in the Oder Zettung of Frank fort that he drafted the final dispatch to Mexico in which Germany endea vored to enlist that country's armed aid in the event of war with the United States. At the time he was adviser at tiie foreign office on far eastern and Central American affairs. Herr von Kremnitz declares ttiat he should not be blamed for the United Slates government obtaining posses sion of the documvit, which, if it had been kept secret, he says, could only have done good. "I foresaw two possibilities, ex plains the former adviser, "first, that Mexico would decline because she was afraid of the United States, which would nevertheless have strengthened the Gernianophile sentiment in Alex ico, or, second, that Mexico would accept, in which case considerable American forces would have been tied up on the Mexican border and Ger many would not have incurred any special obligations. We would only have been ready to undertake obit cations if Mexico had been, able to induce Japan to join us. Herr von Kremnitz. who also claims credit for originating tbe idea of en listing Mexico's aid, continues: I did not have much hope of suc cess, as conversations with Japan at Stockholm early in 1916 had been fruitless. But I felt that nothing should be left unattempted to remedy the error then committed, and, as my continued efforts to obtain direct con tact with Japan failed, I suggested the plan to use Mexico as a medium, as the latter for a decade had been friendly with Japan. McAdoo also began to make itself manifest. Mr. McAdoo was the Cham pion of the administration in the Texas fight. Mr. McAdoo secured the appointment of a district attorney in New Yprk over t'.ie protests of Mitchell Palmer and the democrats New York state organization, and at the same time .pleased the socialists. who were the -chief indorsers of the McAdoo appointee. The president has insisted that the league shall be the- main issue, but is not overlook ing by-products which might enable him to win on that issue with the as sistance of other things. During his administration as secre tary of the treasury and as director general of railroads Mr. McAdoo was able to inspire confidence in two dif ferent elements. He won the favor of a few business men in his capacity as secretary of the treasury, and as director-general of railroads com mended himself to the railroad owners by raising rates with one hand, while he commended himself to the railroad workers by raising wag with the other. He is also strong with all the radical elements. Another Contender Xoted. Another strong contender for the nomination who has been hovering in the offing is Governor James M. Cox of Ohio, but administration forces have been veering away from Gov ernor Cox within the last few days. This is '.because the governor is a 'wet," and administration forces are ! afraid of that situation. ' The demo- I cratic machine is perfectly willing to play with the "wet" issue to the ex tent of teeming to stand for it in eastern states for the purpose of win ning a democratic house, but la fear ful of the effect in the west of the nomination of an openly "wet" candi date for president. One serious question that arises relative to Mr. McAdoo's candidacy is whether the lormer secretary of the treasury fits well into the scheme, of "solemn referendum." This raises the question of another possible candidate in the person of Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state. Mr. Colby was a former Roosevelt supporter and then switched to Presi dent Wilson, and in his brief admin istration of the department of state has shown that his mind "goes along" with the president's on the question of the league. Colby Tractable One. The president has also shown a dis position to bring the state depart ment into politics, which it will be necessary to do if the league is to be made the issue. In a recent speech in Chicago Mr. Colby discussed the league in a manner that disclosed he was entirely in sympathy with the president. His speech indicated that he regarded any failure of the United States government to participate in the leaarue of nations as provided for Increase in New England Centers Generally 15 Per Cent.
