NUMBER 4
WAY IS CLEARED FOR
TREATY DISCUSSIONS
Pacific Treaty Is Favorably
Reported By Foreign Re-
lations Commiitee.
Washington, D. C Finally accept
ing a compromise reservation pro
gramme, the foreign relations com
mittee cleared the way for transfer
of the arms conference treaty debate
to the open senate.
The four-power Pacific treaty, which
has proved the most troublesome of
the arms conference agreements In
committee discussions, was ordered
favoralily reported with a blanket res
ervation drawn by committee mem
bers after consultation with President
Harding.
At the same time, the committee
acted favorably on the naval limita
tion and submarine treaties, voting
virtually without debate and with the
understanding that members could
further present their views on the
senate floor.
In reporting favorably the four
power Pacific treaty the foreign rela
tions committee divided, 10 to 3, with
Senators Borah, republican, Idaho;
Johnson, republican, California, and
Shields, democrat, Tennessee, voting
in the negative. All the other eight
republican member supported the
motion and were joined by two demo
crats, Williams, Mississippi, and Pom
erene, Ohio.
By the same vote, 10 to 3, but with
Senators Williams, Pomerene and
Kellogg, republican, Minnesota, cast
ing the negative votes, the committee
previously had accepted the comprom
ise reservation said to have been ac
cepted by President Harding and pro
viding that the treaty contemplates
"no commitment to armed force, no
alliance, no obligation to join in any
defense." Several proposed substi
tutes and amendments were voted
down.
In the senate the four-power treaty
alone apparently faces a prolonged
debate. Several proposed reservations
not considered by the committee are
to be offered and Senators Borah and
Johnson, among others, are attempt
ing to organize an "irreconcilable" bloc
against ratification. Whether this ele
ment becomes numerically strong is
conceded to rest principally with the
democrats, who are followers of form
er President Wilson.
CENSORSHIP IS PROPOSED
Bill Provides For U. S. Supervision of
Film Industry.
Washington, D. C. A bill providing
for establishment of a federal motion
picture commission with censorship
powers over all films entered in inter
state commerce was introduced in the
house by Representative Appleby, re
publican, New York.
Strict censorship of all films pro
duced in the country is placed in the
hands of the commission of three to
be appointed by the president.
While the measure was designed
primarily for censorship of pictures,
the commission will have authority,
Appleby said, to look into the condi
tions existing in the moving picture
colonies of the country. Thj uld
be one of the functions who. M!
naturally assume, he said.
SUFFRAGE IS UPHELD
6Y SUPREME COURT
Washington, D. C. The woman's
suffrage, or nineteenth amendment,
was declared constitutional by the su
preme court Monday.
The supreme court dismissed for
want of jurisdiction the suit brought
by Charles 3. Fairchild of New York,
who sought to challenge the constitu
tionality of the amendment.
The opinion of the court was deliv
ered by Justice Brandeis.
The woman suffrage or nineteenth
amendment to the constitution was
challenged in the supreme court in
proceedings inst tuted by Charles S.
Fairchild of New York, for himself
and in behalf of the American Con
stitutional league, to enjoin the s:cre- j
tary of state from issuing and the
attorney general from enforcing a i
proclamation declaring the ratification
of the amendment, and by Oscar Les or
and other citizens of Maryland, con
stituting an organization known as '
the "Maryland League for State De-
fense." The former proceedings were .
based on the ground that the amend
ment had not been validly adopted,
and the latter that the amendment
was unconstitutional.
