LINES BEING DRAWN
IN TREATY FIGHT
ADMINISTRATION FORCES WILL
CENTER EFFORTS ON GETTING
TREATY OUT OF COMMITTEE.
Republican Senators Declare Result
Of Negotiations Will Be stiffening
of Resistance to Attempt at
Unreserved Ratification.

Westinghouse sequel TO the
/ White House conference on Saturday
between President Wilson and Sena-
tor Hitchcock. administration leader
in the senate treaty fight, IL has be-
come apparent that the administra-
ton forces will center their present
effort on bringing the treaty out OF
committee and defeating any teXtual
amendments, leaving in the back
ground any negotiations relative to
final ratification with reservations.
Meantime, Republican senator's de-
clared one result Of the negotiations
of the last few days and of Senator
Hitcheock's statements after he had
left the president had been TO stiffen
resistance to any attempt at unre-
served ratification and to increase the
determination of those who want the
treaty amended outright. They as
serted Saturdays poll had shown OPP
position growing stronger in the face
Of the explanatory statements from
Toxic and from the White House.
The reported position of the presi-
dent that any textual amendments
would send the te'afF back for re-
negotiation with Germany without any
military force to compel acceptance
of the American demands was taken
as largely forecasting the trend OF the
amendment fight.
II is known that Mr.. Lodge has been
studying a number Of drafts, including
those drawn by the McNary group and
those suggested by Elihu Root. VII
liam II. Taft and Charles +. Hughes.
He is understood not to have stood

to have merely submitted il for CON

FAR EASTERN EXPERTS SEE A
MENACE IN SHANTuNG PRO-
VISION OF TREATY.
Asserted That Fight May Start Be
tween China and Japan, But That
sooner or Later We Will be
Swept Into Controversy.

Washin gton.-It was the unanimous
opinion of American experts on far
eastern affairs at Versailles that war
must result from the peace treaty pro-
visions giving Japan control in the
Chinese province of Shantung. the SEN
ate foreign relations committee was
told on Monday by Thomas f. Willard.
an American writer, who was attached
TO the Chinese peace delegation.
Mr.. Willard declared the original ac-
QUESTION of German rights in Shantung
was largely responsible for the Hay
open door policy and was one OF the
indirect causes of the Russo-Japanese
war. The German rights were ac-
Quired. he said. with the secret assent
of the former Russian ear.
Asked how the Shantung agreement
might lead to war between Japan and
the United States. the witness said
there were many dangerous elements
involved. As an example, he said, the
cumulative effect of Japan's successes
in China might easily encourage her
to assume commercial rights which
would trespass on the Hay open-door
policy or on the special commercial
treaties the United States has with
China.
This japanese stuatiOn.' he said,
has been creeping up on us just as the
German situation crept up on Europe.

Japan and China. But American mis-
sionaries will be killed and American
rights violated, and sooner or later we

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1919-10-24

There is being so much sent the newspapers of Mississippi
today from sundry benevolent organizations, from sundry war
organizations which are hanging on by their toe nails and
which refuse to see that their energies and activities, hOwsO-
ever well intentioncd, can be better exercised in other lines
by sundry bureaus and indeed by some business concerns,
that we feel'sure that many of the editors feel like cfte1times
saying what we Often feel like saying and that is, to b with
it.
Almost every mail brings us something from the Red tross,
then comes the Y. NJ. c. a., then the Civil Service commission,
with the notation that the Government provides no funds to
pay for the requested ad then the railroads. then the Agri-
cultural department and numerous others. Only recently we
received a request to use some matter from a Memphis bank
which was preparing ito celebrate its 50th anniversary" We
promptly wrote the bank to know what in the devil the matter
was worth to us. If we were to apply for a loan at this
bank we would be treated just as any other individual. We
have not heard since from the aforesaid bank.
1t is not an unusual thing for a few dozen men to get to-
appoint committees and have their stationery and literature
printed without ever giving a newspaper a chance to even bid
on the work, and thereafter flood the newspapers offices with
requests to help put the "drive" or proposition, over. Ger
tainly if the newspapers are to be expected to do that which
does not pay them a single dollar, they ought to be given the
preference in that part of the work which does pay something
the newspapers came up nobly during the war. They help
ed pat over every drive, that is 90 per cent of them did-there
were a few that bucked the Government just as far as they
dared to do on. every proposhion-and now that the boys have
laid down their arms a lot of people seem to want to continue
drives" For our part we are done with them, at least for
a while. The Grenada Sentinel gets behind no more drives
for the present. There is no business or calling that has been
so heavily hit by the war and it's after effects as the country
newspaper.

A great many benevolent minded, we'll intentioned people
are devoting themselves now to postwar Red Cross work and
to enlarging the activities Of the Y. M. C. A. 1t is our judg-
ment that these people could render a far greater service
lust now by attempting to increase production and by going
to work towards minimizing the shortage of labor. 1t does
not 90 far towards appeasing hunger to rub ones stomach
with a pone of bread when his yitals demand inward sus-
tenance. We have had enough of outward application.
The State Council of Defense called upon the press OF
Mississippi to do quite a deal during the war, yet not a news

Tn railroads will send out matter and ask free publication
under the ostensible direction Of National Director, Hines,
yet when a newspaper man boards a train, or ships freight
or receives any article by freight he must pay bills the same
as anybody else. And occasionally the charhably organized
Express Companies will ask for publication of matters of
interest to the public"
The people are almost as tired of drives as the news
papers are of publishing free stuff. Let's have a rest.
