COMMITTEE VOTES
TO AMEND TREATY
Senators Are 9 to 8 in Favor Of
Returning Shantung
to China

Washington. Aug. 4.-The Senate for
3 to s, yesterday adopted an amendment
to the treaty with Germany under which,
the former German rights in the
Peninsula of Shantung would revert to
China instead of 10 Japan, thus bring
ng TO focus the fight that has ragged
IN the Senate for over three months
over the treaty award to the Mikado's
government.
This drastic action of the committee.
constituting n direct amendment to the
treaty, was denounced later by admins
tration senators as "A deliberate effort
on the part Of the republican majority
of the committee, who put it through
to defeat the treaty. If the amendment
should be adopted by the Senate, they
declared, the treaty would have to go
back to the four allied and associated
powers-Great Britain France, Italy,
Japan-if not to the entire peace con-
ference, and this would reopen the treaty
negotiations.
The administration democrats foresaw
the United States being left out of
participation in the treaty with the for
eign signatories declining to upset the
Shantung award, and America being
forced to make an independent peace with
Germany. Not alone this, they said, but
an awkward international situation was
likely to develop If the United States
insisted on affrontng Japan by taking
an insistent attitude on Shantung In
| that event, they said, Japan might ally
herself with other powers in a way that
might threaten a crisis.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, who
voted with the other democratic mem
bers Of the committee. against the
Shantung amendment, insisted that the
move appeared TO contemplate drive
or the senate majority to reject the
| treaty. Mr. Swanton, however, expressed
he belief that the majority of the Senate
would not support the amendment lie
was confident, he said. that enough re-
publicans could be found to vote with
the democrats in the Senate to defeat
any such attempt
Republican leaders, while scrupulously
careful not to admit that they regarded
the committees action as part of a pre-
| conceived plot to defeat the treaty.
agreed. for the most part that the
adoption OF the amendment by the Sem
ate would undoubtedly have the effect
of throwing the treaty back to the Paris
conference. Senator Moses of New Hamp-
shire, member of the committee, sug-
gested that the matter could be taken
up through diplomatic exchanges between
the United States and the other four
signatories. thus obvating the necessity
of recommittns the entire treaty.

Will Exact Reparation.

I'm consequence the allied and as
socia ted powers declare that they tax e
note of these signal acts of bad faith
and that when the Investigations have
been completed into all the circum-
stances they will exact the necessary
reparation. 1t Is evident that any
repetition of acts like those must have
a very unfortunate effect upon the
future operation Of the treaty which
the Germans are about to sign.
They have made complai int of the
fifteen years period of occupation
which the treaty contemplates. They
have made complaint that admission
to the league of nations may be too
long deferred. How can Germany put
forward such claims If she encourages
or permits deliberate violations of
her written engagements? She can
not complain should the allies use
the full powers conferred on them by
the treaty, particularly article 429,
if she on her side deliberately vio-
lates its provisions.
