NUMBER 6
CHANGES IN TREATY.
REJECTED IN SENATE
Opposition Lacks Enough Votes
to Secure Adoption of Two
Amendments.
Washington, D. C. After a stormy
debate, the senate rejected by a di
vision almost on party lines the first
two of the proposed amendments to
the four-power Pacific pact.
At the peak of their strength, with
11 short of the full membership pres
ent and voting, the opposition to the
treaty marshaled 26 democratic and
four republican yotes, within two of a
third of the full senate membership,
but three less than enough to upset
the two-thirds needed for final ratifi
cation when all senators participate
In this vote.
The first of the two amendments
acted upon was offered by Senato
Robinson, democrat, Arkansas, and
provided that the four powers should
refrain from aggression against non
signatory as well as signatory nations,
and that all interested nations, wheth
er signatories to the treaty or not,
should be invited to any conference
over a Pacific controversy. The pro
posal was lost, 30 to 56. Later a
similar amendment in different form
was presented by Senator Walsh, dem
ocrat, Montana, and was voted down,
27 to 50.
On both rollcalls four republicans,
Borah of Idaho, Johnson of California,
France of Maryland and La Follette of
Wisconsin, voted in the affirmative,
while an equal number of democrats,
Pomerene of Ohio, Ransdell of Louis
iana, Underwood of Alabama and
Williams of Mississippi, joined the
opposition.

AMERICAN CLAIM IS
IGNORED BY ALLIES
Paris. The allied finance ministers
signed an agreement here for the dis
tribution of the first billion gold marks
Of German reparations. The agree
ment disregards the American claim
of priority for its expenses in connec
tion with occupation of the Rhineland,
so far as the actual sharing of this
money is concerned. It recognises the
claim, however, by a special clause
which states that all the agreement?
on this question are subject to Amer
lean rights as the various governments
may establish them, the finance minis
ters contending that they do not have
the power to decide this question.
The memorandum handed to the
reparations commission by Roland W.
Boyden, representative of the United
States with the' commission, states
that the cost of the American army of
occupation up to May 1, 1921, was
about $241,000,000.

HUGHES DEFENDS TREATY
Failure to Ratify It Would be National
Calamity.
Washington, D. C. Secretary of
State Hughs! iiij'-eted himself Into
the treaty fight In the senate by writ
ing a lengthy letter to Senator Under
wood, one of the American delegates
at the conference, in which he scored
the thinly veiled intimations made In
the senate that the American dele
gates wire "Imposed on" In the mak
ing of the lourpower pact.
The secretary's letter hinged about
Questions that have been ralsod in the
senate as to the authorship of the
treaty and the open charges made b;
some senators that it "was conceived'
by Balfour and written by Knto.
While not answnriiig the question of
"who wrote the treaty" directly, Sec
retary of State Hughes Indicated in
his letter that hi; himself was the
author of the pact.
'I In- failure of the senate to ratify
the treaty, Hughes declared, would be
nothing short of a national calamity.
Washington, D. C. The new sol
diers' bonus bill, as drawn by house
republicans, was attacked by Secre
tary Mellon as involving a "dangeroue
abuse of government credit."
Replying to a request for the seo
retary'e comment on the new bonus
bill, Mr. Mellon, in a letter to Chair
man Fordaey of the house ways sad
means committee, made public by the
treasury, sharply criticised the feat
ures of the proposed measure provid
ing for loans by banks upon adjusted
service certificates as indirect and
"forced" borrowing by the govern
ment. He suggested that the "direct
and regular way" to provide tor a
paid-up endowment insurance feature
would be to authorlie Insurance cer
tificates with provision for direct pol
ioy loans to be financed by the govern
ment. A favorable report on the long con
troverted soldiers' bonus bill was or
dered by the house ways aud means
committee by a vote of 19 to S.
The vote on the measure was taken
ten minutes after Secretary Mellon,
Controller of the Currency Crlssinger
and Governor Harding of the federal
reserve board had been questioned for
two hours In open session as to their
ideas of the bank loan adjusted cer
tificate plan. The five members vot
ing against a favorable report were
Garner of Texas, Kltchln of North
Carolina and Collier, Mississippi, dem
ocrats, and Treadway of Massuchua
etts and Tllson of Connecticut, republicans.
MANY KILLED IN

tlon against the government.
Heavy casualties were reported oa
both sldeB as fierce fighting la te
Fordsburg and Joppe district coa
tlnued. The Union of South Africa
government tskes a most serines view
of the situation. General Smuts hae
characterized It as "one of the gravest
crises that ever has arisen la South
Africa "
The government feara the nttae war,
which is the climax of a three mouths'
strike at the gold mlnee, may grow
Into rebellion Worse than this, it
was said here it would be a raoe war
between-whites and blacks.
The tact that Boere have sided with
the strikers and taken part in the
fighting, Including the capture of
towns, lends weight to suggestiaas
that the trouble may be more serious
than a battle between strikers and
police.
