Senators Chamberlain And NeW|
FAVOR Referendum On Treaty

I president probably will get back here
some time late In May with h e
u draft. Suppose some such law
for a referendum as has been suggest
ed were introduced. There would be
the same discussion OF the project and
the same jealousy Of surrendering
prerogatives hat the league debate
will bring put. The bill for the ref
erendum would probably not be pass
ed until some time in July and the ac-
tual referendum would not be had IN
I'll August. This would be very serious
-postponment of action.
Personally I believe a nationwide
referendum would show the people
In favor Of the league. They would
not pause to consider highly technical.
but none the less important, matters
like the future of the Monroe doctrine,
the effect upon immigration regula-
ton. and kindred subjects. They would
simply see in the league a brave at
tempt to make an end to wars.
81 believe I'm the referendum be-
cause I would like TO see the people
take the responsibility for settling this
question. In the long run l think col
lective opinion is more often right
than Individual opinion, and IL the
people go wrong it is their country"
Senator Harry New, Republican
from Indiana, said: IF a referendum
is feasible and can be taken without
undue delay l am for 1t. / have just
returned from speaking in my home
state. I addressed meetings in ten
cities. and found the mass Of the peo-
pie opposed to the league. Based up
on what 1 saw and heard I believe
Indiana would vote against the lea
que
IT vas opposed to the draft origin
ally brought back by the president and
said so. / have not determined my
course with regard to the amended
draft. I am reserving judgement. /
want to hear what the best legal
minds in the country say as to the
meaning of some of the sections.
From my mingling with the peo-
pie 1 am convinced that is not a par
tisan question. 1t is, of course, po-
litical In the higher meaning of that
word, but hat is far different from
partisan. l think we all want to take
counsel together, and for that reason
I believe a referendum would be
helpful to the senate when the time
comes for it to take a decision"

Rates an Obstacle.

Washington.-Many important steps
have been taken to expedite road con-
struction under the enlarged program
recently authorized by congress, and
the indications are that a larger vol.
ume Of highway construction will be
accomplished this season than In any
previous year In the history of the ma
ton, according to a statement issued
by David F. Houston, secretary Of
agriculture.
The requisite official machinery,
says the secretary. for executing this
program-that Is, the department Of
agriculture, Through the bureau Of
public roads on the one hand and the
4S state highway departments on the
other-is already In existence. A con-
ference was he'd by the secretary on
March / with the state highway COM
missioners Of the Eastern and middle
Western states, and all phases of the
problem. and especially the interpre
tation of the liberal amendments OF
the federal aid road act, were consid-
cred.
The appointment Of Thomas H.. Mac
Donald, chief engineer of the Iowa
state highway commission, as engineer
in immediate charge Of the work OF
the bureau Of public roads under the
federal aid road act, has just been an
nounced by the secretary, and 1t Is
planned that, In the near future, Mr..
Macdonald will formally assume the
position of director of the bureau OF
public roads.
Freight Rates an Obstacle.
It developed at the conference that
the present freight rates are one OF
the principal obstacles to the active
resumption and extension of highway
activities. The situation was laid be-
fore the proper officials of the railroad
administration on March 1 by repre-
~sentatlves of the department of agri-
culture and of the state highway OFF,

of the city council in turning down
every attempt to adjust the matter
in a way agreeable to all. He show
ed where the many different factions
and bodies all working In different d.
rections detrimental to the project
would also end in hopeless delay. This
was followed by more suggestions
from state and county officials. Free
holder Haight asserted that the coun-
ty board was striving to please all
concerned, while Mr.. Dewan, OF Me-
Gainesville alleged that the state and
Pennsylvania Railroad engineers were
working together and hat he did not
believe in letting the railroad COM
pany dictate in the matter.
Not TO Delay Progress.
While the meeting was largely at
tended by residents of the Mechanics
vile section, nothing was brought out

ress in getting the Hole-in-the-Wall
closed for all the time. 1t was clear
to see hat all concerned Were willing

~provements started. Another meeting
of the common council will be held
tonight when the project will be taxi
en- up in detail and recommendations
will be sent to the freeholders as to
what South Amboy is willing to do In
the matter.
At the meeting OF the county board
tomorrow ii is expected that these rec
concentrations will be taken up and
it is regarded certain that the board
will back up any logical solution of
the problem that South Amboy may
arrive upon. Due to the fact that
