The report recommends the creation of

of the report follow:
1T is quite apparent that the laws of
the United States and of Canada are in
adequate foi the effective control of in
tcrnational carriers. respects through
rates and i..e establishment of through
routes and other matters which are
proper subjects of joint regulation. and
that such regulation would be mutually
advanta geous
'It is equally plain that the regulation
to which international carriers should be
subjected Is substantially similar to that
provided for interstate carriers of the
United States under the substantive pro-
visions of t"t amended act to regulate
commerce. as the same are defined and
summarized i'm draft of proposed
treaty between the United States and
Canada which is annexed hereto and

THE intended effect of such a treaty
would be to subject International car
rierS. within tine limits outlined. to otli-
cations and requirements corresponding
to those now imposed upon the interstate

that he was on the ground all the time.
in command of the situation to a marked
degree. and yet did not know all that
was going on. This phase of the case
is to be dwelt upon exhaustively in the
speeches now being prepared.
If there was corruption. as it will be
sought to show. and If Mr.. Lorimer knew
it, which it will be argued. he must then,
according to the opposition now organ
izing. have no moral right to his seat,
whatever the precedents may be. The
anti-Lorimer organization takes the
ground that the honor of the Senate is at
stake and that the Senate. rather than an
individual. must be vindicated, no matter
how disagreeable the work or how great
the stencil raised in the full airing Of
the scandal.

Defense of Subcommittee
by Senator Johnston

MOBILE, Ala. December 31.-Defend-
ing the action of the subcommittee that
investigated the bribery charges against
Senator Lorimer of Illinois. Senator Jo-
seph F. Johnston of Alabama. who is re-
operating from slight illness, today
gave out the following statement:
The subcommittee appointed to hear
the evidence in the case was composed
of republican and democratic senator's
Had any Of the members been inclined
to be Influenced by political bias. the con-
ditions did not warrant any such action
for the legislature. outgoing and incom-
ing. was safely republican, insuring that
party senator, whatever action might
be had.
But two questions were to be inyesti-
gated
First, whether Senator I.orimer had
engaged in bribery or any corrupt prac-
tices TO secure his election. or knew or
sanctioned any such acts. If so, the sub
committee was unanimous in agreeing
that he should be unseated
All the members of the committee
were unanimous In the conclusion that
the testimony faied to show the TACT
that Se.Iator Lorimer was hinlselr guilty
OF bribery o. any corrupt practlces, or
that he sanctioned was cOgnizant OF
the fact tnat bribery or any corrupt
practices we're Icing uSeu by others ~
influence votes for him.
Second Point Considered.
The only other question was whether
the evidence showed that enough votes OF
the members of the legislature voting for
Senator Lorimer were brihed or infiu-
enced by corrupt practices or promises
so that. deducting such votes from the
total cast for him, his vote would fall he
loW that required by the constitution to
elect.
Tine report of the subcommittee WAS
submitted to its full committee. and
every member OF the fun COMMITTEES
agreed to its finding (six republ cans and
four democrats), except Senator's Frazier
and Beveridge. the latter stating thar he
was not prepared to either assent or dis.
sent. not having had time to examine
the evidence.
1.-The report was presented by the chair
man. who asked that 1t be printed and
tabled No attempt was made whas eyer
to press present consideration of the re-
port. and the only suggestion looking TO

Senator Beveridge who urged that !, tn

regard to this matter and as to its he;nr

Judge Mabie Concurs.

In a formal letter to the Secretary
of State, Judge Mabie. as the desig-
mated representative of the Dominion
of Canada. concurred in the report and
its recommended ns.
The draft of the treaty referred to
in the report was not made public.
That. however is not essential to an
understanding of the recommendations
made by the mmiSsiOners. Two fea-
lures of the proposed treaty are nota-
bic. They provide that claims for rep
aration shall not be heard by the inter-
national commission. and that that
body shall not prosecute criminal pro-
ceedings against shippers or carriers.
Secretary Knox will submit the treaty
TO the Senate at an early date. with
a recommendation that ii be ratified
at the present session of Congress.
