ASKS PRESIDENT
FOR INFORMATION
Senate Adopts Resolution Seek
ing Light on Alleged lap
German Treaty.
Japan BRlBED, SAYS LODGE
China Robbed to Satisfy Tokyo, sand
All the World Knows IT," Declares
the Republican Leader--tIiteh-
cock Defends League.

Washington, July IT.--Without q
record vote, the senate adopted Sena-
tor Lodges resolution asking the pres
ident for information as TO an alleged
treaty negotiated between Japan and
Germany in 1918. The senate then I'D
journed until Thursday.
Senator Lodge charged In the senate
during debate on the peace treaty,
that the Shantung settlement was "a
price paid for Japan's signature to
the League of Nations, with the rob-
bing of China as the consideration.
"Shantung was the price paid. aud
all the world knows it," Mr. Lodge
said There is no statute of limit
tions that runs against a wrong like
that"
keciting how Germany secured the
Shantung concessions and how japan
succeeded Germany by virtue of war,
Senator Lodge continued:
England and France took Belgium
away from Germany during the war
Does that give them a claim to Bel
GUM? Shantung was not enemy coun-
try like Fiume 1t was handed over
to Japan against the protests of some
of our delegates and the experts
charged with this question.
"It was handee over because Ja-
pans signature was needed to the
league. 1t was done as a necessity.
II takes the territory of friend, an
ally who had been loyal. and hands It
over TO great military power In the
East.
Japan is building up great pow
er in China, and we in this treaty
are helping her do It,"
The debate on Shantung was pre-
cipitated by Senator Lodge calling up
his resolution asking the president for
information as to an alleged treaty Sc
cretly negotiated between Japan aud
Germany In 1918.
Senator Hitchcock (Neb), senior
Democrat Of tie committee, said he
desired to protest against resolutions
Of this class, based upon such slender
information ana having the effect of
indicating to a friendly country that
the United States senate gives Gre
dence to newspaper reports of this
character.
1T is unworthy of the senate" he
declared
Senator Lodge replied that IT seemed
70 him that when we are making a
treaty that includes the gift to Japan
Of 36.000,000 Of Chinese we ought to
know whether there is any truth In
the assertions.
1T has been stated that a copy of
the treaty is in the hands Of the state
department and has been for some
time. | think 1t perfectly reasonable
that we inquire about it," he declared.

WILSON SAVES
DAYLIGHT ACT
Vetoes Agricultural Bill Because
of Amendment Turning
Clock Back.
WOULD CAUSE HEAVY LOSS
Executive Also Refuses to Approve
sundry Civil 6ilI-lssues Two
Statements Explaining
His Action.

Washington. July Is. - President
Wilson vetoed the agricultural bin be-
cause of its provision repeating the
daylight saving law.
In regard to the agricultural bill
the president sent the following com
munication to the house of representa-
tives:
81 take the liberty of returning II.
R. 1857, An act making appropria-
tions for the department of agricu-
ture for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1920 without my signature
Il realize, of course, the grave in
convenience which may arise from
the postpOnement of the legislation
at this time, but feel obliged to With
hold my signature because of the
clause which provided that at and
after o'clock a. m. on Sunday, Octo-
Der 26. 1919. next the act entitled "An
act to save daylight and to provide
standard time for the United States"
approved March 80, 1913, be and the
same hereby is repealed
UGlltNG litdl lI1t Itlltui VI AiC AAN1
referred to would be of very great
inconvenience to the country, and !
think that l am justified in saying
that it would constitute something
more than ain Inconvenience. 1t
would involve a serious economic loss.
The act was intended to place the
chief business activities of the coun-
try as nearly as might be within the
limits of daylight throughout he
year"
In regard to the sundry civil bill
the president in another communica-
tion to the house said
"Under the vocational rehabilitation
bill. which became law June 81 1918,
the congress has sought to fulfill the
expectations of the country that their
soldi x, sailor and marine disabled
i'm the recent war should be given an
opportunity TO secure at the expense
and under the fostering care of the
federal government such training as he
needs TO overcome the handicap of his
disability and to resume his place as
a civilian able to earn living upon
something like equal footing with
those with whom he was associated be
fore he made his great sacrifice for the
honor and defense of the country.
"The section of the bill which l now
return, which governs the appropria-
alton for this work, provides the sum
of $6,000,000 for all expenses of reha-
bilitation. including the support Of the
disabled men in training and this sum
is stated to be in lieu of the appropria-
tion contained in the act approved
July Cd 1919, amending section 2
of the act approved June 27, 1918. In
asmuch as there are already over 1900
disabled soldiers. sailors and marines
In training and inasmuch as another
1000 will be put moo training now
that the amendment to section has
become law, 1t is clear that even at
the rate of only $50 month, sum
approximating SS,OO0.000 will be re-
quired for the mere support of these
men. and that under the present ap-
preparation nothing will be available
for their tuition and travel or for plac-
ing them where they can earn living
and it will be impossible to meet the
needs of the new thousands who are
every week seeking the benefits of the
rehabilitation act"
