‘STUPID!’SNORTS BRYAN, MEANING TREATY BATTLE Finds Fault With Wilson, Cox and Other Leaders for Pact Stand. CITES OTHER ISSUES P BT ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON, March B.—A frank charge of political stupidity has been laid at the doors of those Democratic leaders who are counselling partisan opposition to ratification of the four-power Pacific pact and other conference treaties. It came from William Jenings Rryan. It was directed at Woodrow Wilson and James M. Cox, who are held responsible for the current effort to keep alive the League of Nations issue for purposes of defeating the Pacific agreement in the Senate. Mr. Bryan gave expression publicly to what many Democrats have been saying privately for several days. He believes the best hope of the Democratic party rests In a campaign based on domestic Issues, the alleged shortcomings and diseppointments of the Republican Congress. He does not accord with the Wil-fron-Cox program of a spite campaign against Senator Henry Cabot Lodge In Massarhnsetts, on the one Issue which, party leaders In the State declare, certainly would re-elect the veteran Republican chieftain. Close on the heels of Mr. Bryan's decision to read the riot act to Democratic Senators opposing ratification of the fourpower pact came rather positive assurances that Democrats in Massachusetts are determined to head off the WilsonCox program of reviving the league issue. It was said to be entirely probable Mr. Cox would receive a courteous request to go elsewhere, and Sherman kL. Whipple. prospective Democratic Pnomlnee, would state his opposition to the league of nations and also the fourpower pact. It was viewed as very possible Mr. Whipple would base his campaign against Mr. Lodge on the ground the latter had ceased to be the Bay State “scholar in politics’’ and “our veteran statesman” and Just "a narrow party leader, dominated always by partisanship and political prejudice.” There was said to be a chance of Mr. Whipple, opposing both league and Pacific “alliance,” would contend Mr. Lodge had fought the one because it was Democratic and sponsored the other because its authorship was Republican. Mr. Bryan's dashing attack on the Wll-son-Cox program and his definite alignment with Senator Oscar Underwood, Democratic floor loader in the Senate, is the principal development in the treaty situation. In the Senate proper, Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, Republican member of the Committee on Foreign Relations, opened the Administration drive for ratification of the conference treaties. He argued the Pacific pact was in no sense an alliance It had been expected his address would stand out as the chief con. tribution to the treaty situation, but scarcely bad he taken his seat when Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, leader 01 the treaty foes, took the edge off the New speech by introducing a demand for a statement by President Harding as to the effect of the four-power treaty on the I.ansing-Istil agreement which recognized Japanese special interests in the Far East. The Borah resolution was adopted without a roll call, after a brief . debate in which Senator Underwood assumed leadership in explaining Administration viewpoint on the issue involved. “The Lansing-Ishil agreement is completely wiped out by this treaty,” Mr. Underwood said. Senator Brandeeee of Connecticut, Republican, and Robinson of Arkansas, Democrat, contended tho four-power pact related solely to the islands In the Pacific whereas the Lansing Ishii agreement dealt with the mainland of Ashia. Mr. Underwood agreed, holding the conference treaties as a whole, “clearly negatived any idea that Japan has any special Influence in the affairs of China and the region of the Pacific by reason of her contiguity of soil." The “special interest” referred to in the Lansing-Ishii agreement had ceased, therefore, to have any status in international law. Mr. Bryan's broadside against the W!I----gon-Cox league program, highly reminiscent of Ms famous Jackson Day break with Mr. Wilson, follows; WOULD LET LEAGUE ISSUE REST. “Because our fight must be made largely ou economic issues. I think it Is unwise for the Democrats to prolong the debate over the peace treaties. Every day's debate will tend to divert attention from the economic issues and the Democrats wi"i not only suffer by this diversion of attention, but they will suffer still more if they allow themselves to be put in the attntude of opposition to any steps toward peace. There Is no reason the Demi>crats should not indorse a very good thing connected with the treaties and then insist, as they rightfully can, such progress as has been made has been along Democratic rather than Republican lines. The Democratic party has been the leader In the peace movement and consistently can surport any steps taken toward peac e by the Republicans. “Take the case of the four-power treaty. It Is based upon the thirty

treaties negotiated by the last Administration. Those who framed the fourpower treaty said it implied a reservation of independence, but the Senate insisted reservation should be made specific. In doing this it has simply added the one provision of the thirty treaties that was left out of .the four-power treaty. "Why should the Democrats object to a treaty that carries out. the Ideas of a Democratic treaty? When the Democrats vote for the four-power treaty they simply are approving their own policy which the Republicans have adopted. Is It possible a Republican Indorsement can destroy the value of Democratic treaties? The sooner these treaties are disposed of the better.” Mr. Bryan said that, as “was to have been expected,” the economic policies of the Harding Administration have been the weakest point In the Republican armor. He held It was impossible for “the reactionary leadership to be satisfactory to the rank and file of the Republican party, which is progressive and which furnishes most of the Republican votes." MR RRYAN CHUCKLES. “No Democrat imagined,” Mr. Bryan added with a chuckle, "the Republican leaders would defy the masses as arrogantly as they have done. The revenue bill was so bad even a Republican caucus refused to accept it. The revenue bill ought to be the leading Issue in the West, because Western Republicans revolted on it against the reactionary leadership of the east.” In the course of his argument the four-power pact did not involve the United States in an alliance, Senator New said: “It is not an alliance In any hereto-fore-accepted meaning of the word. If it were an alliance, In effect or in contemplation, and furthermore if It were not understood clearly by all the powers’ party to it that it was none of these, 1 should not venture to propose to this body it advice and consent to Its ratification. “The inevitable result of our failure to ratify this treaty would be to revive and perpetuate the Anglo-Japanese alliance. There can be nothing more important to this country than the substitution of this engagement for that com-> pact.” Following the Senate discussion of the Lansing-Ishil agreement, the statement was made the Japanese government was informed soon after Secretary Hughes assumed office that In the opinion of this Government the Lansing-Ishil understandings were of no practical value and were regarded in Washington ns nonexistent in fact. Japanese leaders viewed the declaration* In the conference affecting China as • blanketing” the agreement.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

SENATOR OWEN TAKES SCHEME INTO GERMANY Fails to Make Big Hit in Pro* posal to Roumanian Bankers. By S. B. CONGER. BERLIN, March 8. —Senator Owen has arrived In Berlin on a trip he is making to interest European countries in his plan to promote the world’s economic rehabilitation by establishing a system of stable gold credits on the basis of half a billion dollars taken from' America's gold reserve. He will confer with leading German bankers before returning to Faria. The Senator came from Bucharest, where Roumanian bankers manifested small Interest in his credits scheme, frankly expressing their preference for a straight American loan which they would have the privilege of spending. It is doubtful, however, according to Mr. Owen, whether the Roumanian banks have the necessary stability to qualify them to participate In credit operations on the lines he proposes. They have gone In for all sorts of Industrial and speculative dealings and devote only minor attention to the usual discount functions of American banks. His scheme Is not apt to arouse much enthusiasm among German bankers, Germany’s economic problem being less one of credits than of obtaining markets for Its manufacturers. The business and industrial world already has found a solution for the problem of providing a stable base of prices in international trade—the same which Mr. Owen is seeking to attack—by quoting export prices In dollars. They already have tested
