HOT DEBATE ON TREATY ISSUE Thomas, Democrat, Accuses President of Meddling in Oregon Politics M'GEE LAUDS JOHNSON (Continued from page 1) SAN FRANCISCO, May 12. The world's pecketbook was examined today, by more than 2.000 financial and trade experts in the opening ses sion of the seventh -annual foreign trade convention The first of the four days of discussion revealed that Internationally known leaders of world commerce find many thing? within this pocketbook which may fall to the lot of Americans, but the s pea sens agreed idii two courses are plain, one leading to business re verses," low wages, panic and stagna tion,' and the other to prosperity, progress and security for the busi ness jnan and the worker. As a speaker at today's session ' spoke of placing the American flag in all "the. far flung markets of the world" fce was Interrupted by Mayor George Baker of Portland.. "1 suggest we do a little flag wav ing at hbrne," his honor suggested as his eye roamed over the auditorium where the meeting was in progress. "I don't see a single flag in this building." A storm of applause greeted the ivuiaih and ueiore i;ie meeting pro ceeded further a flag was obtained and placed over the speaker's plat ' form. ; " ' Increased foreign trade, increased imports as -well as exports, form the key to prorperity, said James A. Far rellr president or the United' States 8teel corporation and chairman of the national foreign trade council, In opening the convention. , r A period of depression with low er wages, but not a panic or crisis, was frecast by Fred L.

New York banker and member of the financial committee of the tnter-ai-lied reparations commission, He as serted that no government In the world has since the war returned to orderly operation. These things, with the millions of hours lost through the chaotic labor condition provoked by agitators, he said, were fundamental causes of the high cost son that he is a radical was refuted by the speaker because "no one has ever been able to point out wherein he is radical in his statesmanship. No law that he has ever placed on the statute books has been repealed, re versed or declared unconstitutional. The people of California, he said. have not interpreted the official acts of Johnson as radcal as is evidenced by the fact that he was first elected by a majority vote of26.000 while his next election resulted in a ma jority of 150,000. Whenhe came be fore the people the third time they piled up a majority of 298,000 votes." said the speaker.

May 12 Presi dent Wilson's recent rail to his party to stand ' four square" on the treaty issue in the campaign placed a pro minent part today in the senate bat tle over the Republican peace reso lution. Criticism and defense of the pres'dent was voiced. Senator Thom as. Democrat. Colorado. Ieinj: amoni; those who essailed Mr. Wilson's po sition, declaring it meant "dlohi tion of the Ierooeratie party. The Colorado senator was oppos ing the peace resolution but he took occasion to express resentment ae.-tfnst the imputation whtch he declared the president placed upon senators who had voted for treaty reservations, that their action in volved "dishonor." Defending the president. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the admin istration tpokeman. declared the president in his telegram to Oregon IemoratH had "simply declared h's devotion to the league of nations and denounced the Lodge reserva tions." Senator Hitchcock charged that the Republicans, in their "outrage ous delay" on the treaty, and not the president, had delayed peace. The resolution. .Mr. Hitchcock declared, would not bring peace, but was fu tile in the erta!nty of an executive veto. It is a Republican expedient, he said, adoptf! by "distracted" leaders and an unconstitutional at tempt to jttf-ect peace regardless of the treaty, involving "dishonor" to America. Debate was confined to Senators Hitchcock and Thomas. Tomorrow addresses are planned by Senators Kellogg, Republican, Minnesota, and Pomerene. Democrat. Ohio. Negotiations took place today be tween Republican and Democratic leaders for a final vote tomorrow on the resolution. No agreement could be reached, but with the few speeches in prospect, leaders thought the matter would be disposed of not later than Friday. Senator Hitch cock argued that the president's de lineation of his 14 points entailed a pledge to support the league of nations plan. Senator Thomas denied that any such obligation was binding, and counter charged that "pledges" made in the armistice had been vio lated by the president and the allies. He opposed the peace resolution, he said, because it transgressed execu tive authority. "If the Democratic party hedges itseir at San Francisco to the uncon ditional ratification of the treaty or VeTBa1TTeft,'tr will doso because it docsn t want to live any longer and lakes that means of making its dis solution known,' Senator Thomas said. Referring to the construction he planed on the president's teleuram. he continued: I resent with all the earnestness In mv nflYr IhA Imnnl.lUn mwA I be stopped as a result of .the shortage decline to act in obedience to any ?l JF"olln.?' a ,8h pTl of A'1" Uommand that is not in harmony with my conscience and my concep tion or my duly.
