RESERVATIONS HAVE ALL
VICES OF AMENDMENTS
American Trade Suffering
From Delayed Ratification,
Senators Say.
By ti. C. Martin
(United Press Stuff Correspondent.)
Washington, Sept. 11. Six donioera-
tic members , of the- f oroign relations
committoo today presented to the scnato
a minority report on the peace treaty,
urging unqualified adoption of the pact
The report replies to statements nia-de
in the majority report filed by Senator
Lodge yesterday and charges that sena
tors opposing the league of nations,
knowing it is. invincible in fair fign,
are trying to defeat it " by indirec
tion,'' through reservations.
The proposed. roservatio is, the report
said, have all tho vices of amendments
"and the additional vice of protending
to be what they are not"r-interpretations
of tho covenant language.
The document, which was signod by
Senators Hitchcock, Williams, tSwaiison,
Poincreneef Smith of Arizona nnd Titt
man, stated;
That delay in reporting the peace
treaty has resulted in "government by
obstruction."'
That American trado already shows
effects of this delay.
That adoption of the" majority's
amendments or reservations means tho
United States will lose all concessions
secured from Germany by a dictated
peace. V
That tho reservations are the work of
senators determined to destroy the
league and, if possible, defeat the trea
ty. That the league of nations is tho
world 's ouly hope of preventing interna
tional chaos.
Tliut those opposing have nothing to
offer to do this.
"Wo deplore," said the report, "the
long and unnecessary delay to which
the treaty has been subjected while
locked up in the committee whose ma
jority decisions and recommendations

. i4i.:.i ,.i,i in
merco halts while this groat delay in the
peace settlement has been caused by the
majority of a committee known to be
oat of harmony with the majority of the
senate and the majority of the people.
This is government by obstruction as
welt as by a minority.
"For the first seven months following
the armistice, our exports averaged al
most seven hundred millions per mouth,
but -in July they fell to 570,000,000.
hurope undoubtedly wants our exports
but can only take them' in full quantity
if our financial institutions provide the
credit to bridge over the period neces
sary to restore European industry to pro
ductivencss. This private credit cun;
not and will not be furnished as long a
the ppace settlement is in doubt. Since
the armistice was signed, our govern
ment has advanced to European govern
ments nearly two and one-half billion
dollars, which was almost enough to
cover the balance of trade during the
eight months period. Our government,
however, has about reached the end of
its authority given by congress and will
advance but little more.
The minority ridiculed the claim Of
the majority that trading with Germany
has been resumed and while admitting
over $11,000,000 worth of good had
been exported to Germany since the
armistice, pointed out that this is about
two cents per month for each person in
Germany.

Optional Proposal; Holding

Here is the champion hop story 'for
1919. . ' '. ' i .. " . ' '
, Bobert E. 'Downing and A. I. Eoff,
doing busines 'stmdcr the firm name of
Downing 4 Eoff, own a 37 acre tract
of Iiops in the American bottom south
of Independence. They estimate the
crop at about an average, and. figure
they will harvest at least 1000 pounds.
Thev have refused a cash offer of 65
cents a pound and Monday refused tort
consider a 24-hour option at u cents a
pound. .
Mr. Downing says there is no special
use in being in a hurry about selling as
ho is curious to know just how high the
market will go this year. About Vi per
cont of the crop is contracted for, and
there is a possibility that a number of
operators might Jhave over sold. , The
greatest flurry in the hop market Mr.
Downing could remember was in 1882
when short buying and speculation
forced the price up to $1.20 a pound.

THRUSTS AT PRESIDENT
GREETED WITH APPLAUSE
Crowd Answers Charges Of
i Speakers With Cries lo
Impeach Wilson.
By Fred S. Forguson
(United Press Staff Correspondent.) i
Chicago, Sept. 11. Chicago is inter
ested in the scnato opposition to tho
peaco treaty howling interested.
fl.ot since the day of 1013 wnen tne
big auditorium hero saw the birth of tho
Bull Moose party has such a vabt, ex
cited, widely cheering throng jammed
that place and shouted encouragement
to speakers as It worked itself into drip
ping perspiration last night in greeting
the specehea-o! senator Johnson, ttoran
and McCormrek.
It was sweltering hot. But men took
thoir coats off, women wielded fans
and they jumped to their feet demand-
nig the impeachment of President Wil
sou and shook the whole house as they
tagged him a " quitter. "
I have heard of men placing them
selves in the hands of their creditors,
but never tmve I heard of a man placing
himself in the hands of his debtors,"
Senator Johnson told the vast throng as
he explained what he believed the rela
tion of the United States and other pow
ers to be under the league of nations.
"The United States is the greatest sol
vent power on earth, and they ask us
to enter into partnership with four
bankrupts."
Such thrusts as this brought deafen
ing cheers lasting minutes. And as John
son progressed cheers swept in from
the street. -
Johnson recited each of the principles
enunciated by Wilson, and which ho de
clares were beaten and abandoned in
Paris. He said they were American
principles. As ho went on and shouted
"but as Clemenccau grimaced," orJa
pan shook her head, who quit ? The
crowd jumped to its feet and yelled
back:
"Wilson."
Johnson declared the country had
been flooded with government uiopa
ganda for the last two years, propa
ganda for which the people paid, laud
ing those in power.
"We have been picking our pockets
to poison our minds," ho declared, and
again the big audience let loose a thou
sand-lunged power yell.
Describing tho pence conference,
Johnson said the "president sih with
his mind full of beautiful phrases, while
tho European and Asiatic diplomats sat
with their pockets bulging with signed,
scaled contracts carving up the woild. "
"Why talk of altruism tho president
says is in the document he orought
backt" Johnson asked. "He brought
back just what was handed lilm."
Cries of "impeach him," "don't give
him any more power' 'arose as Borah
told of the seven thousand Americans in
Siberia, without authority of congress
or the people. Responding to this lat
ter cry, Borah shouted:
"Let ' say this: before we try to take
Lany power out of his hands, lot's refus
to put any more power in his hau ls. "
Borah declared that the amendments
and reservation that have been report
el by the foreign relations committee
arc designed "for just one' thing to
safeguard American interests." He
asked what objection there eould 'be
to a principle and again had the big
crowd with him when he declared::
"If there is any power that doesn't
want tn see these interests safeguard
ed; if tTrere is any power that does not
want to recognize our right to decide
when the Monroe doctrine shall be op
erative; or does not want to permit
America to be able to say when she
