SENATE PASSES SECOND TREATY ON JAP ISLANDS Unanimous Vote Registered on Exemption From Main Pact. MEETS WESTERN CLAMOR Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, March 2S —By a unanimous vote of 73 to 0, the Senate last night ratified the second conference treaty—the supplementary four-power pact etempting the home Islands of Japan from the main treaty on Pacific insular possessions and dominions. Unopposed ratification ensued upon the submission of a reservation by Senator Lodge, whereby the declaration exempt'ng domestic questions from Article II of the quadruple treaty Is made part and parcel of the resolution of ratification. Tho declaration, officially described as ‘‘accompenying the four-power treaty,’' was signed at Washington Pec. 13, 1021. Senate Democrats and Republican "irreconci'.ilables" clamored that unless the United States specifically made the declaration sn integral portion of its ratification action, there was danger that other powers would not regard the exclusion of “domestic questions” as binding, Japan was the power at which Senators like Johnson, Republican, of California and Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada, delivered fulminating campaign speeches, which will be impressive extracts from the Congressional Record when circulated for re-election purposes next summer and autumn. JOHNSON AND PITTMAN BOTH FOR RESERVATION. Senators Johnson and Pittman labored long and vociferously the point that the Senate must utilise the present opportunity to show Japan she cannot invoke the four-power treaty for the purpose

HELPING 19,000,000 PEOPLE About 19,000,000 people are insured in the Metropolitan—over 16,000,000 under weekly premium policies. The weekly calls of Agents at the policyholders’ homes provide a wonderful opportunity for health and welfare work. The Company has accepted the (opportunity and to-day is at the forefront of public health work in America. 14,000,000 VISITS BY TRAINED NURSES. Free nursing service is given to Industrial policy-holders in 2,800 cities and towns. Trained nurses not only heal the sick but teach right living. About 14.000,000 viaits have been made—2,116,875 in 1921 alone. Numerous letters tell of lives saved. DISCOVERING DISEASE IN TIME Free medical examinations often disclosing incipient disease in time to h, are granted to Ordinary (annual premium) pclicy-holders, subject to reasonable conditions. HELPING THE EMPLOYER TO HELP Employers insuring their employees under Group policies are advised regarding health conditions and accident prevention, while the employees receive the benefit* of nursing service and welfare literature. 238,000,000 PIECES OF LITERATURE Attractive booklets and pamphlets in great variety, dealing with the important phases of health and disease, and prepared by leading experts, are distributed broadcast. So far, 238,000,000 copies have been distributed — 25,000,000 in 1921. In addition, 18,000,000 copies of The Metropolitan, a health magazine, are issued annually. | A CITY THAT IS WATCHED , In Framingham, Mass., the Metropolitan is leading the way in a great experiment, watched by health authorities throughout the country, to demonstrate what proper municipal health regulation can do. Deaths from tuberculosis have dropped from 121 per 100,000 to 40 per annum.

of “conferring with the United States on the California land law and immigration questions.” Senator Johnson, at the end of an afternoon of snarling und pettifogging opposition, announced he would support the Lodge reservation because it “minimises and modifies” the quadruple treaty. Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Arizona, proclaimed his approval of the reservation becau/e it “sterilizes” the pact. Senator Lodge's reservation provides lor the addition, at the end of the resolution of ratification, of the following; "Subject to the following reservation and understanding which is hereby made a part of and condition of this resolution of ratification, and which repeats the declaration of intent and understanding made by the representatives of the powers signatories of the four-power treaty relating to their insular possessions and insular dominions in the Pa cifle Ocean. “1. That the four-power treaty relating to Pacific possessions shall apply to the mandated islands in the Pacific Ocean; provided, however, hhat the making of this treaty shall not be deemed to be an assent on the part of the United States of America to the mandates and shall not preclude agreements between the United States of America and the mandatory powets respectively in relation to the mandated islands. “2. That the controversies to which the second paragraph of Article I of the fourpower treaty relating to Pacific possessions refers shall not be taken to embrace questions, which according to principles of international law, lie exclusively within the domestic Jurisdiction of the respective powers.” OPPOSITION AGAIN SMARTS IN DEFEAT. Once again the treaty opposition, manifestly smarting under defeat and craving for revenge, however petty and whatever the cost, devoted Itself to tactics of obstruction and irritation. Senator Hitchcock. Democrat of Nebraska, thirsting for personal revenge against Senator Lodge for the defeat the Democratic leader suffered in the Versailles fight, was in the forefront of the pin-prlcklng brigade.

HOW WAS IT DONE? Records kept by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company show an extraordinary decrease in the death rate among its Industrial, or weekly premium, policy-holders. Comparing 1921 with 1911, for example, there were 55,000 less deaths in 1921 than there would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed. What brought about the great saving of life? The general public health movement —progress in medical science and sanitation — other causes, perhaps. But a very great factor has been the tremendous health campaign carried on by the Metropolitan itself. This page tells a part of the story.

week’s ratification of the four-power pact, talked about Senator Lodge's 'nervous baste” and ranted that something must be done to “uproot the seeds of future controversy with Japan.” Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas, field marshal of the opposition forces, submitted bis amendment to take tbe southern half of Sagbalin Island out of the four-power treaty. He argued that “Karafuto,” the Japanese name for southern Saghalln, would be certain to be the object of attack when “the great Russian Bear once again stretched out his paw to strike the ancient yellow foe.” In that event. Senator Robinson claimed, the United States, under the treaty, , would be forced into the position of defending Japan and fighting Russia. Senator Underwood, Democrat, of Alabama, warmly defended the Inclusion of southern Saghalin into the treaty as negotiated and signed. He said; “It was Japan's part of the bargain in exchange for our inclusion of the Philippines.” If the United States, Senator Underwood declared, had not been willing to covenant that “hey would respect Japanese posiessler. of southern Saghalin, Japan would have refused to agree to respect American posssession of the Philippines. Mi. Underwood asked the Senate to bear that phase—the outstanding feature of the four-power pact—primarily in mind. REASON WHY RUSSIA WOULD KEEP PEACE. It was while scouting Senator Robinson’s theory that Russia would attack Japan through Saghalin that the Democratic leader contrived to embroil himself in a squabble with Senator Johnson. ‘‘One reason why Russia will not attack any of Japau's insular possessions," Senator Underwood said, “is that Russia would forthwith find herself Involved with the United States, Great Britain and Japan." “Ah, there we have it,” exelalmed Senator Johnson, hopping onto Senator Underwood's observation like a police court lawyer who has discovered a sudden flaw In the prosecuting attorney’s case. “That's what I thought,” said Mr. Johnson. "The United States Is going to be ‘lnvolved’ if Russia attacks Japan. Tho Senator from Alabama says that does not necessarily mean we would be Involved In war, but it might mean that.” Senator Underwood denied vigorously that his remark was open to any such construction. He explained that the mere certainty Russia would find the world’s four leading powers conferring

in a given emergency would act as a preventative of war, because Russia’s possibilities of obtaining supplies and financial credit, for war purposes, would be seriously restricted. The Robinson amendment, to exempt Saghalin from the quadruple agreement, was defeated by a vote of 53 to 20. PITTMAN DELIVERS ATTACK ON JAPAN. The next opposition attempt to “devitalize” the four-power pact emanated from Senator Pittman, Democrat, of Nevada. He introduced an amendment to tbe Lodge reservation which was described as the same reservation Mr. Lodge had himself Introduced during the Versailles Treaty fight, for the purpose of ‘’devitalizing” the famed Article X. The Pittman amendment asked for Itemized characterization of the “domestic questions” which could not be brought up (under Article II of the pending pact. They included land-laws and immigration, on both of which subjects Senator Pittman delivered typical anti-Japanese outbuVsts. He painted the “yellow peril” in lurid colors, declaring it was no longer confined to tbe Pacific Coast, but was spreading to the Middle West and was even manifest in Washington. The Pittman amendment was overthrown by a vote of 49 to 21. Typical of the tone to which opposition oratory in the treaty fight has sunk was an outburst today by Senator Stanley, Democrat, of Kentucky.. He wag berating Senator Lodge and the American delegation for not making part of a "sealed treaty" tbe declaration exempting domestic questions from Article II of tho four-power pact. "This borders upon (Jupllcity,” the Kentuckian fumed. “It looks as if the conference had tried to sell the United States a gold brick. It is an appalling situation. Somebody has tried to put up a Job on ns.” Senator Stanley tried to make the Senate believe that the Innocent American delegation had been hood-winkd “by professionals skilled in the devious ways of diplomacy. ’ —Copyright, 1022, by Public Ledger Co*- 'ny.

CHRISTIANITY TO AVERT WARS, DR. WADE SAYS Safeguard for World Peace Told About at M. E. District Session. “Only the establishment of the true Christian principals in the heart and life of every man in America and in the most distant mission land can safeguard the world against war,” declared Dr. R. J. Wade of Chicaf last night at the final service of a . nference for ministers and church officers of tho Methodist Episcopal Churches of the Indianapolis district at the Roberts Park Methodist Church. The subject of Dr. Wade’s lecture was “World’s Need and Methodism’s Reply.” In this new advance Methodism expects to attack the situation of stress and strain In the United States and around the world, he said. The lecture was illustrated with actual photographs taken by expert photographers in the States and in foreign lands, showing the conditions of the church, the community and social work of the Methodist Episcopal Church before and after the Methodist Church program had been put into operation. HUMAN PROGRESS LIKE PENDULUM SWING. "Human progress moves as with the swing of some vast pendulum, each forward step reversing Itself In some sharp reaction,” said Dr. Wade. “Men who have studied history have learned to watch the backward swing without despair for they know that the forward step of the human race constantly grow s longer and stronger. The Methodist Centenary program marked one of these mighty advance movements among the Christian Churches. “During the period of industrial depression there lirs been some slight reaction, but all the church denominations are now girding themselves for another advance which will mark larger results

FOR THE NATION’S HEALTH 144 health exhibits and emergency hospitals at county fairs last year; 295 "Clean-up” campaigns; agitation by Agents for health legislation; nationwide campaigns against special diseases; sickness and sanitary surveys; a study of municipal health departments; leadership of practically all American research work relating to influenza —these are some instances of the Metropolitan’s activity in the interest of public health. HOMES FOR 17,744 FAMILIES In the investment of its funds, the Metropolitan is now giving preference to loans which will aid housing. During 1920 and 1921, the Company made and pledged loans of $63,080,017, on new dwellings and new apartment houses, providing homes for 17,744 families. GREAT DECLINE IN DEATH RATES The death rate among Industrial policy-holders reached its lowest point in 1921 —31.9% lower than in 1911. The rate from typhoid decreased 71%; tuberculous, 49%; Bright’s disease, nearly 30%; infectious diseases of children nearly 37%. The "Expectation of Life” of white males (reckoned from age 10) increased 4 years. PUBLIC APPRECIATION The American people have made the Metropolitan the greatest life insurance company in the world, with $7,003,_ 707,839 insurance in force. It leads not only in Industrial but in Ordinary. More than half of its business in force is 0rdinary—53,892,267,274 which is more than that of any Company in the world. 1 THE FUTURE The Metropolitan will continue its endeavor to offer the best there is in life, health and accident insurance, and to save human life. Continued growth will give the Company still greater opportunities to serve the American people in insurance protection and in the conservation of life and health.

financially and' spiritually- than those obtained in any previous campaign. "The spread of Christian principles is the sole remedy for the tragic present situation that is more than an economic or political emergency. The Christian churches of America are already committee to this principles. The Methodist Episcopal Church alone spent $14,200,000 in 1921 for the promotion of world concord and peace through Its mission agencies at home and abroad,” he said. OUTLINES PROBLEMS AT END OF WORLD WAR. Dr. Wade outlined the problems that faced nations of the world at the conclusion of the World War and called attention to the various proposals to secure the safety of civilization and stated that, “only the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the hearts of men can safeguard the world against war.” Dr. Wade is speaking of the home missionary work in the United States called attention to the tremendous need in the rural communities, the great dangers which have developed In connection with the rapidly growing industrial and city life and states that there were 3'10,000 more illiterate in the United States above nine years of age then the com lined population of the Pacific States of Y/ashlngton, Oregon and California. The speaker called attention to the manner in which the church was adopting its program to meeting this problem through schools , community houses, printing press and churches. A larger social service program is being developed for rural and city life centering in the churches and its community activities. LIGHT MATURES BEANS.
