THT3 SUNDAY OREGONIAN; PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 14. 1920 LSOil MAY THROW E O NTO WORKS Resubmission of Treaty Is Considered Likely. FILIBUSTER WOULD ENSUE UlocUins of Pressing Reconstruc tion Legislation Would Bo In. evltablc, Say leaders. THE OREGOXIAX NEWS BTTHEATT, VTashington. Nov. 13. Intimations that President Wilson intends resub mitting the peace treaty to the senate when congress reconvenes three weeks from next Monday causes some misgiving among- political leaders. The friends of the treaty are Just as anxious as its enemies that the league covenant shall not be 'made an issue 'in the short session which adjourns by statute on March 4. The reason is that the precipita tion of the treaty controversy would most surely block all other legisla tion, including' the passage of the supply bills. Leaders in congress say that the reappearance of the treaty would mean such a filibuster in the senate as has never been witnessed to this time. Senators Borah and Keed and one or two other irrecon cllables are determined that there shall be no chance to ratify the Versailles treaty, carrying- the league covenant, and by reason of the briefness of the coming- session should accomplish their purpose with but little diffi culty. Democrats are hinting that the president Is so eager to see the treaty and league ratified in some form be fore the close of his administration that he Is willing to set democratic senators who have stood by him in the past free to vote for almost any kind of reservations. This is what the irreconcilable fear and they are understood to have agreed that their weapon on another occasion, if the fight has to be made again, will be the old-time filibuster. Such a filibuster would place 'be fore the new. republican congress, to be called into session early next spring by President Harding, an im pdssible task. It is the hope of repub lican leaders to get all routine legis lation out of the way at the' short session, including the appropriation bills and possibly a measure for fur ther restriction of immigration. In order to clear the track at the extra session for exclusive reconstruction measures and a peace resolution. Hi Programme Outlined. All of the reconstruction legislation blocked by President Wilson, either Dy tnreat or veto. Is on the pro gramme for early passage In the ex tra session. The budget bill is one of the first measures planned for consideration. Mr. Wilson vetoed this bill after it was passed. A re-, vision of the tariff is regarded as necessary and that action must be prompt. Free tolls for American coastwise shipping through the Pan ama canal is another measure to be taken up. and western senators and representatives are getting ready to press a comprehensive scheme for reclamation of arid lands. Five different reclamation plane now are under consideration by Sen ator McNary of Oregon, chairman of tire senate committee on Irrigation, and representative Sinnott, chairman of the house committee on public lands, has some proposals to make for. putting water on the dry lands of the west. Tot Problems Related. -'It is more than likely that irriga tion legislation will be coupled strongly with measures for aiding the veterans of the late war. Senator Borah has a bill already reported out of. the senate committee on public lands which would appropriate $300, 000.000 for soldier settlements on re claimed lands, f50.000.000 to become available each year. This bill is sure to become a part of one great general scheme for development of the ex pansive deserts of the west. A series of conferences will be held Monday by' Chairman McNary of the senate Irrigation committee wtth irri gation experts and engineers to get their views on the best plans for reclamation. He will confer also with financial experts on methods of fi nancing the proposed new irrigation projects. As to ratification of the treaty at the short session, should President Wilson yield to' the Lodge reserva tions, some express doubt that favor able action could now be" had even should no filibuster materialize. The election results are said to have con verted many of the so-called mild rcservatlonists into strong reserva tionists. and public statements made by several senators since the election Indicate a shifting of position. For example. Senator McC umber of North Dakota, the stalwart repub lican friend of the Wilson league says that the treaty as written is dead and that a new deal is neces sary. Senator Denroot had such a difficult time In his campaign for re election in behalf of ratification with saving reservations that he is ex pected to come back demanding an association of nations after the ideas of Senator Harding rather than the adoption of any large part of the Wil son document. Administration Near End. The Wilson administration for the rest of Its brief existence will with draw from participation in interna tional politics. This decision has been reached following the over whelming repudiation of the adminis tration by the voters of the country in the election, and it was exempli fied in the ueclsion reached by the United States government relative to tbe agreement made by Italy and Jugo-Slavla at the conference at Ka pallo, Italy. This arrangement, which disposes of tbe Question of Flume, is regarded as one of the latest overthrows of the international programme insisted upon by President Wilson at Ver sailles. In spite of this fact, the administration in Washington will regard the incident as closed, stand lng upon the president's note In which he said h would accept any programme urged by the two parties interested which did not infringe upon the rights of a third party, presumably Albania. The agreement Itself Is believed to have been reached as a result of the elections in the United States, which demonstrated that the Incoming ad ministration would not support the position of President Wilson In re gard to Fiume and other questions at issue. palgn four years ago with a deficit of over twice the present sum. But they were successful then, and a suc cessful party need have no trouble about meeting a deficit. By that same token the republicans might now have a deficit over five times the democrats a deficit of tl. 600,000. But the republicans are the successful party. It Is the democrats who should worry. I don't doubt that If the, democrats had the necessary machinery they could make up their deficit of $300,000 through small contributions .from a large number of individuals. There arelenty of loyal democrats, but the trouble Is the democratic national committee Is not in a good state of organization and has not got the rather elaborate mechanism which alone can collect large sums in small contributions. Under these circum stances, and being pressed for the money, as they undoubtedly are. the democratic organization will prob ably turn to those of their friends who are rich and generous. And when you seek out democrats who are rich and generous, you are apt to find them among the friends of Mr. McAdoo. McAdoo Is Nearest Gness. It would be a reasonable guess that whatever changes take place In the democratic organization will be in the direction of placing Mr. McAdoo's friends in the saddle and of giving to Mr. McAdoo as much dominating leadership as any one person is likely to hold In the near future. Mr. McAdoo is the nearest guess that can be made at this moment as to a presidential possibility in 1924. Undoubtedly Mr. McAdoo's friends entertain this ambition for party leadership; undoubtedly also Mr. Bryan's friends and Mr. Bryan him self entertain tbe same ambition for Mr. Bryan, with due respect and af fection for Mr. Bryan and with due care to avoid seeming to Issue Invi tations to what must be no less than the sixth political funeral at which Mr. Bryan has been - the subject of the obsequies, I feel sure that there are no probable circumstances ahead under which Mr. Bryan is likely to resume the leadership of the demo cratic party. Cox Is of the Past. As to Cox continuing in leadership, that is hard to see. Cox is intelligent enough to know that as a leader of the democratic party he is completely of the past, as Alton B. Parker became when he suffered an even less conspicuous de feat IS years ago. Not only Is Cox impossible as a leader by the crush ing quality of-nis defeat; in addition to this, those elements within the democratic party who got the nom ination for Cox are in the deepest sort of disfavor. One of those who brought about Cox's nomination is Murphy of New Tork, and Murphy is charged with having laid down on the party in the election. What is true of Murphy Is in a de gree also true of Nugent of New Jer sey and Brennan of Chicago. This particular group of leaders won't be permitted to have a hand in naming the next democratic candidate for the presidency, if it can be prevented by other elements. "Wtd" Were Disappointed. It is probably true that Cox per sonally was not always tied up to those leaders as close as he at first seemed. Undoubtedly these men. when they nominated Cox. did so with the thought that they could rely on him not to veto any modification of the prohibition law in the ' direction of greater "wetness." It is apparent, however, that when the campaign got under way Cox declined to take a po sition as "wet" as they hoped he would. Nevertheless, Cox, of all the possibilities for democratic leadership now in sight, is the least likely. In connection with Cox and prohi bition, one of the most Interesting episodes of the recent campaign is still a little obscure. If Cox, together with those others who know the facts and have the documents, should see fit to let them become public, this episode would probably turn out to have a good deal of bearing on the question of future leadership of the party. . Story' Is Good One. The story Is this: "The democrats in the early stages of tbe campaign were desperately hard pressed for money. When the train was hired to tak Cox on his long trip from New York to the Pa cific coast and back the democratic organization was unable to pay the bill In advance. The railroad com pany accommodatingly agreed to take the money in installments, but said the train could not leave New Tork until an advance of $7500 was paid. That sum was not in the democratic treasury, and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, who was in temporary charge of headquarters at the time, had to do some energetic hustling to get the sum together in time to let the train start on schedule. "Under these conditions, an offer was received to. raise a campaign fund of $1,600,000. provided a certa'n condition -was compliedwith. I have never known accurately the names of all who united in this offer, but I understood that the group included Allan Ryan of New Tork, Thomas L. Chadbourne of New York and - ex Senator Clarence Watson of West Virginia. These three, and the others associated with them, were fully able to make good on the offer. . I under stood that Mr. Ryan alone was will ing to be responsible for $500,000." - President Advises Candidate. The condition named was that Cox in one of bis speeches in "the far west should announce himself "bone dry" and should pledge himself to veto any act of congress tending to make the present prohibition law less dractic - A telegram to this effect was sent to Cox. At the same time, I understand. President Wilson was told of the incident. Mr. Wilson, it la said, wired Governor Cox In strong language urging him to turn the offer down.

It might be Inferred that Governor Cox's reason for turning down this offer lay In his being opposed to prohibition on principle, or being opposed to it on grounds of political expediency, or in feeling that by em bracing these new friends he might be offending older friends whose interests were "wet, but a' much more creditable inference is actually believable.
