ACCEPTS bRyAN'S PEACE PLAN,
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
NETHERLANDS SIGNS TREATY.
Calls for Investigation OF All Dis
putes Between the Two COun-
tries When Matter Cannot Be Set.
tied by Diplomacy.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Secretary
Bryan and Chevalier van Rappard,
the Netherlands minister, today sign
ed treaty providing that any ques-
ton between the two nations which
can not be settled by diplomacy shall
be submitted for investigation to an
international commission Of five mem
Ders. The period Of invetigation is
fixed at one year, although it may be
shortened.
This is the first treaty between the
United States and European nation
Eased upon Secretary Bryan's peace
plan. Similar treaties have been ne
sotiated with five Central American
nations and it is planned to sign one
with the Dominican Republic tomor-
row.
The MISUNDERSTANDING conven-
ton generally embodies the principles
Of Secretary Bryan's plan to bring
tions Of the world, but it differs in
some details from similar pacts al
ready signed. There is no provision
in it for the maintenance Of the
status quo as to military and naval
preparations during the period Of in
vestigation. Mr.. Bryan today point
ed out that he considered this feature
nonessential, acceptance Of the prin-
ciple OF investigation being the key
note Of the plan.
In negotiating the treaty, Mr.. Bryan
made slight concession to the Meth
erlands in the matter of the appoint
ment o. the fifth member Of the per-
raanent international commission to
be chosen by common agreement be-
tween the two governments, it being
understood that this member shall not
BE a citizen Of either country. The
previous treaties do not make this
limitation.
The treaty, like the others, Is to run
fer five years and remain in force
until one of the signing parties has
.iyen notice to terminate it. The in
lernational commission must be ap-
pointed within six months after the
exchange Of the ratification.
While none of the peace treaties
has been ratified by the senate as yet,
Secretary Bryan said this was due to
the press of business and that he ex-
pected to encounter no difficulty when
the pacts are reached by the upper
house.

MACKAY OPPOSES TT.
Objects to Government Telephone and
Telegraph Proposal.

New York, Dec. 18.-Clarence H.
Mackay. president of the Mackay COM
pany, today said Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Burleson's Endorsement Of the
principle Of government ownership of
telephone and telegraph lines:
'The postmaster general is mis-
taken in his idea that phone COM
panies are subject to the post road
act Of congress Of 1866. The supreme
court of the United States in the Rich
nond case (174 U. S., 761) held that
they are not. In denominating the tel
graph business as being monopolistic
in it's nature, he is also mistaken. If
here ever has been more continuous,
keen and even bitter competition than
that between the Postal and the West
-rn Union / would be pleased to know
when and where.
THE money question, however, is
the main question. Nine hundred mil
lion dollars would not be q look In.
The Bell Telephone companies alone
would demand more than that. Then
there are the thousands of independ-
ent telephone companies and farm
ers' lines scattered all over the coun-
try. The entire bill, including tele-
graph lines, would be about $1,000
100000, which is about two-thirds Of
the national debt at the close OF the
despaired Of the solvenoy Of the re.
public. Nor is this the worst Judging
from English experience. that vast
sum would be entirely lost, because
under government management the
operating expenes year by year would
exceed the income"
