their conduct if they shall now vote

and China shall each cast vote equal

81 present third questions
"ln any contest which may herea fter
arise involving the equality of races is
it not perfectly plain that the dark
races will not all unite and declare for
race equality in every part of the
world? 1t must be remembered that
this is living and burning question;
that Japan has expressly reserved it
for future considerations and that if it
comes before the league of peace as
now organized the dark races will have
a majority. | call attention to the fact
that Japan has expressly reserved this
question:
calls Arrangement Unfair
by what kind Of logic is it pro-
posed to bind the United States to
abide by the decisions of the repre-
sentatives of nations where the dis
parity in numbers alone makes the ar
rangement SO unfair as to be out
rageous.
"Who can justify the doctrine that
the 1l0,oo0,000 intelligent free people
OF the United States shall be rep
resented by one man and that the rep
resentative of Hediaz, with popula-
tlon of 100000, shall cast a vote equal
to the United States?
Who can Justify giving to the 45o.-
600 ignorant half castles of Panama
a vote equal to the United States?
"Who can defend the justice of
granting to the 562, 900 Indians and
half-breeds of Honduras a vote equal
to that of the United States?
who will attempt to claim that the
100000 halfcastes of Nicaragua are
entitled to vote equal to 10000 900
American citizens?
What sort of insolence is it that
proposes that 10000 civilized or semi
civilized negroes of Liberia shall. in
the council of the world, have vote
equal to the 100000 people Of the
United States?
Case of South Africa
How can it be claimed that the
south African colonies which ENGLAND
conquered upon a pretext that thew
we're unfit for government should
now, with population of only million
white people, be allowed to cast a vote
equal to that Of the United States?
How can Great Britain ask us TO
permit the ignorant and superstitious
hordes of India, incapable of self-gov-
ernmcnt or sef-defence, cast vote
equal to that of the United States?
Going from these black races to
the white. What logic will justify Civ
ing to the British Empire six votes as
against the single vote Of the United
States. for the league as now writer
gives to the British Empire one vote:
to her dependencies, ndia, South Africa,
New South Wales, Canada and Aus
tralia, each of which is given vote :?

Before the People.

Senate Committee Votes to Report
Pact With Reservations-Supr
Council Sends UItimatum to
Roumania and Warning

trial Conference
Planned.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

President Wilson Is on his way, tell
ing the people of the United States
face to face how excellent a document
Is the peace treaty with the incorpor-
ated League Of Nations covenant, and
how necessary to the welfare, of the
world it is that IL should be ratified by
the senate speedily, Bka1ing his ad-
dresses at Columbus, ape continued
them at Indianapolis, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Des Moines, and he is
now proceeding on westward by the
northern route. Before leaving Wash
ington Mr.. Wilson had final confer
ence with Senator Hitchcock and is
sued instructions to his supporters to
make fight to finish for ratification
of the treaty just as it stands.
Senator Hitchcock on the same day
addressed the senate on the question,
hotly denouncing the opponents Of the
treaty, even those who favor only mild
reservations. He declared the real
purpose Of the majority on the foreign
relations committee was to kill the
pact entirely, and indeed there seems
to be justification for that assertion.
Senator Knox's proposal that the trea-
ty be rejected and a separate peace
made with Germany, he said was an in
sane mixture Of poltroonery and folly.
Mr.. Hitchcock took direct issue with
those who complain that the United
States will derive no advantages and
benefits from the treaty as it is. They
evidently have no conception, he said,
Of the enormous benefits America will
get from it, and intimated these would
come through the operations of the
separations commission, though how
and what they would be, he neglected
to explain.

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations voted to recommend the ratifi-
cation OF the treaty by the senate with
four important notifications These
reservations provide for unconditional
right to withdraw from the League of
Nations; assumption of no obligation
to guarantee territorial integrity of
nations or to employ troops for CO.
ercive purposes or to accept mandates
except under the direction of congress ;
full freedom to determine what ques-
tions are domestic and therefore not
subject to consideration by the league ;
exemption of the Monroe doctrine from
consideration by the league and dec
laration that the United States is sole
interpreter of that doctrine.

ocrat, Joined the ma ority In voting for
all the reservations except that re-
lating to article x Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota voted against the
first two reservations. On the last two
the vote was II to 9.
The committee resolution stIpulates
that the treaty ratification by the Unit
ed States shall not take effect until
the American reservations have been
accepted by three of the four other
great powers: Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan.

Just before starting out on his speak
ing tour President Wilson announced
that general conference on indus
trfafyead economic questions would be
held in Washington early in October.
Already a number Of leaders Of finance,
manufacturing, labor and agriculture
have been invited and the LIST will be
enlarged from time to time. The pres
ident and members Of his cabinet will
take part in the discussions, and 1t is
the hope and belief of Mr.. Wilson and
indeed of everyone that the sessions Of
this round table will have decisive BEN
eficial results in the way of stabilizing
industrial conditions. Certainly much
good should come of the frank inter-
change Of opinions and suggestions
that is, planned.
In general the labor situation is I'M
changed, pending the presidents tour,
the war on high prices and the above
mentioned conference. At the same
time the radical elements are keeping
busy, and it may be the threatened
strike of steel workers will come any
day.

Quick to resent attacks on the pack

sociations Of Chicago have gone on rec
ord against the proposed restrictive
legislation by congress. The secretary
of the Chicago board of trade said it's
members were united in opposition to
the licensing features Of the pending
bills, believing the whole licensing sys-
tenn was wrong, or, If right, should be
applied to all business. All of these
organizations seem to assume that the
reports of the federal trade commits

action against the packers is based
are full of falsehood.
