Hogs continue out of line with provisions. Inglis guess of reduction of three million acres In final corn estimate will cut corn total one hundred million. Kansas afraid of a big cut. In wheat acreage, has needed good rain since August 15. Wichita says if no rain inside of few weeks acreage will be cut 50 per cent; ground too, hard for seeding.

SENATE BODY (Continued from Page One) President Wilson and Secretary Lan sing, the report remarks: The people themselves know bow much information in regard to the treaty was received by the committee upon those two occasions." While criticism for d-jlay has been aimed at the foreign relations com mittee, the report points out no action has been taken by France, Japan or Italy. The arguments that the treaty speedily should be ratified" that trad ing with Germany might begin, thf report dismisses as rather faded, and declares the United States has been trading with Germany since the signing of the armistice in increasing vol ume. The statement that trade can not be resumed until the treaty is ratified is characterized as a "mere delusion." "Before leaving this subject," says the report, "it mayinot be amiss to remark that Mr. Lloyd George has recently made two important speeches expressing grave apprehensions as to the social and political unrest and the economic troubles now prevalent in England. He seems to have failed to point out, however, that the ratification of the covenant of league of nations by Great Britain had relieved the situation which he had described. He was apparently equally remiss in omitting to suggest that prompt action bt the senate of the United States in adopting the covenant of the league of rations would immediately lower the price of beef. Would Equalize Votes. "The first amendment offered by the committee relates to the league. It is proposed so to amend the text as to secure for the United States a vote in the assembly of the league equal to that of any other power. "Great Britain has under the name of the British empire one vote in the council of the league. She has four additional votes in the assembly of the league for her self-governing dominions and colonies, which are most properly members of the league and signatories to the treaty. She also has the vote of India, which is neither a self-governing dominion nor a colony, but merely a part of the empire and which apparently was simply put in as a signatory and member of the league by the peace conference because Great Britain desired it. Great Britain also will control the vqes of the Kingdom of Hejaz and of Persia. With these last two of course we have nothing to do. But if Great Britain haa six votes in the league, no reason has occurred to the committee end no argument, had been made to show why the United States should not have an equal number. If other countries like the- present arrangement that is not our affair; but the com - mittee failed to see why the United States should have but one vote in the assembly of the league when the British empire has six. "Amendments 39 to 44, inclusive, transfer to China the German lease and rights if they exist, in the Chines province of Shantung, which are given by the treaty to Japan. Shantung Term Condemned. "The majority of the committee were not willing to have their votes recorded at any stage in the proceedhngs in favor of the consummation of I what they consider a great wrong. They cannot assent to taking the property of a faithful ally and handing

WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 10, 1919.

It over to another ally in fulfillment of a bargain made by other powers in a secret treaty. It is a record which they are not willing to present to their fellow citizens or leave behind them for the contemplation of their children. "Amendment No. 2 Is simply to provide that where a member of the league has self-governing dominions and colonies which are also members of the league, the exclusion of the disputants under the league rules shall cover the aggregate vote of the member of the league and its self governing dominions and parts of empire combined it any one of them is involved in the controversy. "The remaining amendments with a single exception, may be treated as one, for the purpose of all alike is to relieve the United States from having representatives on the commissions established by the league which deal with questions in which the United States has and can have no interest and in which the United States has evidently been inserted by design. The exception is amendment No. 45. which provides that the United States shall have a member of the reparation commission, but that such commissioner of the United States can not, exception in the case of shipping where the interests of the United States are directly involved, deal with or vote upon any other questions before that commission except under instructions from the government of the United States. Right to Withdraw. "The committee proposes reservations to be made a part of the resolu tion of ratification when it is offered. The committee reserves, of course, the right to offer- other reservations If they shall so determine. The four reservations now presented are as follows: "1 The United States reserves to itself the unconditional right to withdraw from the league of nations upon the notice provided in Article 1, of said treaty of peace with Germany. "The provision in the league covenant for withdrawal declares that any member may withdraw provided it has fulfilled all its international obligations under the covenant. There has been much dispute as to who would decide if the question of the fulfillment of obligations was raised, and it is very generally thought that this question would be settled by the council of the league of nations. The best that can be said about it is that the question of declination is clouded with doubt. On such a point as this, there must be no doubt. The United States, which has never broken an international obligation, cannot permit all its exciting treaties to be reviewed, and its conduct and honor questioned by other nations. The same may be said in regard to the fulfillment of the obligations to the league. It must be made perfectly clear that the United States alone is to determine as to the fulfillment of its obligations, and its right of withdrawal must therefore, be unconditional as provided in this reservation. Mandate Is Opposed. "2 The United States declines to assume, under the provisions of Article X or any other article, any obligations to preserve the territorial integrity or political independence of any other country or to interfere in controversies between nations, members of the league or not. or to employ the military or naval forces of the United States in such controver sies, or to adopt economic measures, for the protection of any other country, whether a member of the league of nations or not, against external aggression or purpose of coercing any ether country, or for the purpose of intervention in the internal conflicts or other controversies wnicn may arise in any other country, and no mandate shall be accepted by the United States under Article 22, part 1 of the treaty of peace with Germany, except by action of the congress of the United States. This reservation is intended to meet the most vital objection to the league covenant as it stands. Under no circumstances must there be arty legal or moral obligation upon the United States to enter into war or to send its army and navy abroad or without the unfettered action of congress to impose economic boycotts on other countries. Under the constitution of the United States the congress alone has the power to declare war, and all bill3 to raise revenue or affecting the revenue in any way must originate in the house of representatives, be passed by the senate and receive the signature of the president. The constitutional rights of congress must not be impair ed by any agreements such as are presented in this treaty, nor can any opportunity of charging the United States with bad faith be permitted. No American soldiers or sailors must be sent to fight in other lands at the bidding of a league of nations. American lives must not be sacrificed ex cept by the will and command of the American people acting through their constitutional representative in congress. "This reservation also covers the subject of mandates. According to the provisions of the covenant of the league the acceptance ef a mandate by any member is voluntary, but as to who shall have authority to refuse to accept a mandate for any country the covenant of the league is silent. The decision as to accepting a mandate must rest exclusively within the control of the congress of the United States as the reservation provides and must not be delegated, even by inference, to any personal agent or to any delegate or commissioner. To Decide Domestic Questions. " '3 The United States reserves to itself exclusively the right to decide what questions are within its domestic jurisdiction and declares that all domestic and political questions relating to its affairs, including immigration, coastwise traffic, the tariff, commerce, and all other domestic questions, are soley within the jurisdiction of the United States and are not under this treaty submitted In any way either to arbitration or to the consideration of the council or of the assembly of the t league of nations, or to the decision or recommendation of any other power. 1 "This reservation speaks for itself, j It is not necessary to follow out here , all tortuous windings, which to those who have followed them through the labyrint. disclose the fact that the league under certain conditions will have power to pass upon and decide questions of immigration and tariff, as well as the others mentioned in" the reservation. It is believed by the committee that this reservation relieves the United States from any dangers or any obligations in this direction. "The fourth and last reservation is as follows: " "4 The United States declines to submit for arbitration or inquiry by

Girls were stationed here to shower flowers on the divisional wounded as they passed the church, where Archbishop Hayes and his guest Cardinal Mercier, who arrived in New York yesterday as well

as many other high Catholic dignitaries assembled to review the parade. The casualties of the First division far exceeded its total personnel and there are many wounded of the command still in hospitals in and around New York. A large number of these were escorted to park benches placed along the Fifth Avenue curb. Others accepted seats in windows offered by patriotic citizens at the request of th3 war camp community service. Still others were assigned to automobiles in the line of the parade. the assembly or the council of the league of nations provided for in said treaty of peace any questions which in the judgment of the United States depend upon or relate to its long-es tablished policy, commonly known as the Monroe Doctrine; said doctrine is to be interpreted by the United States alone, and is hereby declared to be wholly outside the jurisdiction of said league of nations and entirely unaffected by any provision contained in the said treaty of peace with Ger many. Alliance l Charged "The purpose of this reservation' is clear. It is intended to preserve the Monroe Doctrine from any interference or interpretation by foreign powers. As the Monroe Doctrine has protected the United States, so. it is believed by the committee, will this reservation protect the Monroe Doctrine from the destruction with which it is threatened by Article 21 of the covenant of the league and leave it where it has always been, within the sole and complete control of the United States. "This covenant of the league of nations is an alliance and not a league. Las is amply shown by the provisions of the treaty with Germany which vests all essential power in 5 great nations. Those same nations, the principal allied and associated powers, also dominate the league through the council. 2ND AD SENATE "The committee believe that the league as it stands will breed wars instead of securing peace. They also believe that the covenant of the league demands sacrifices of American independence and soverignty which would in no way promote the world's peace, but which are fraught with the gravest dangers to the future safety and well being of the United States. The amendments and reservations alike are governed by a single purpose and that is to guard American rights and American sovereignty, the invasion of which would stimulate breaches of faith, encournge conflicts, and generate wars. The United States can serve the cause of peace best, as she has served it in the past and so more to secure liberty and civilization throughout the world by proceeding along the paths she has always follow, ed and by not permitting herself to be fettered by the dictates of other nations or immersed and entangled in the broils and conflicts of Europe. Preserve Natioal Freedom. "We have heard it frequently said that the United States must do this and do that in regard to this league of nations and the terms of the German peace. There Is no 'must' about it. 'Must' is not a word to be used by foreign nations or dometsic officiials to the American people or their representatives. Equally unfitting is the attempt to frighten the unthinking by suggesting that of the senate adopts amendments or reservations the United States may be excluded from the league. That is the one thing that certainly will not happen. The other nations well know that there 'is no threat of retaliation pos sible with the United States because we have asked nothing for ourselves and have received nothing. We seek no guarantees, no territory, no commercial benefits or advantages. The other nations will take-us on our own atrms for without us their league is a wrecK ana ail tneir gains trom a victorious peace are imperiled. We exact nothing selfish for ourselves, but we insist that we shall be the judges, and the only judges, as to the preservation of our rights, our sover eignty, our safety, and our independ ence. "At this moment the United States is free from any entanglements or obligations which legally or in the name of honor would compel her to do anything contrary to the dictates or conscience or to the freedom and the Interests of the American people. This is the hour when we can say precisely what we will do and exactly what we will not do, and no man can ever question our good faith if we speak now. When we are once caught in the meshes of a treaty of alliance or a league of nations composed of 26 ether powers our freedom of action is gone. To preserve American Independence and American sovereignty and thereby best serve the welfare of manKind, the committee propose these r.mendments and reservations." ,
