WILL NOT HASTEN
TREATY APPROVAL
INDICATIONS ARE REPUBLICAN
SENATE WILL TAKE ITS OWN
TIME TO CONSIDER THINGS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Although
all indications point to ratification of
the peace treaty coupled with the
league of nations covenant, once that
long delayed document reaches the
United States senate, it is not to be
understood that this ratification is to
come without much debate and num-
erous attempts to secure material
amendments to the document. There
are presidents in plenty for this
course on the part of the senate and
the signing of the pact by practically
all of the nations of Europe will not
mean that within a short time this
country is to hear the last of the
league of nations save as that inter
national body may issue its DEGREES
from time to time.
Much speculation is being indulg-
ed in regarding the length of time
the United States senate may take
for consideration of the peace treaty.
An indication that the staid senators
do not intend to be hurried is the re-
port that the republican congress
may pass a resolution directing the
return of all troops from Europe in
advance of final ratification of the
peace pact. How long will the senate
delay final proclamation of peace be-
tween this country and Germany and
Austria? No man in Washington will
hazard a guess at this time.
Cannot Hasten Changes.
A search of the precedents indi-
eating the time taken by the senate
to approve a treaty brings up i'm
mediately the question of the class
of treaty into which the peace pact
and league of nations will fall. Rati-
fcation of treaties of peace has been
performed speedily by the senate in
the past, but international agree
ments involving the relations of
more than two nations have some
times taken up considerable time in
the senate's deliberations.
Not only does the senate take it's
tine in considering treaties, but in
late years it has been scrutinizing
them with care and has not hesitated
to change them where they do not
meet the views of a majority. This
happened with a peace treaty once,
in the case of the war with Mexico,
but where international agreements
are involved the custom is quite com
mon. To use a metaphor from a high
source, the senate has dissected
threads tied to treaties and some
times has cut treaty tendons with its
surgical instruments so that parts of
the vital structure were detached.
May Make Sweeping Changes.
In passing upon the second of the
Hague conventions the senate made
numerous changes so as to leave no
doubt of the senate's version of the
questionable provisions. So far as
the precedents show the senate jeal-
ously protects its right to dissect
treaties before giving them its sane
ton and has repeatedly changed the /
text sent to it when it's members be- /.
lieve there is good reason for doing
so. Under these circumstances it |
need occasion little surprise if many
determined efforts are made by the |
senate during its consideration of /
the peace treaty with Germany and
Austria and of the league of nations
covenant TO write into them some
sweeping changes in phraseology.

.SAVIN UPUN ROADS
ISSUE IN ONTARIO.
Question Agitates Taxpayers
of Canada Under Drury
Administration
LARGE SUMS SPENT
ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS

TORONTO, Canada. Dec. 5.-Shall on.
tario under the Drury Administration
cut down It's expenses through elimi-
Mating good roads construction This
IS the question which is agitatng on
tario. which has heretofore been spend
ing approximately S5O00OOQ annually on
good roads throughout the province.
The general plan Of the province has
been TO improve the 20 per cent Of
roads which bear so per cent. Of the
traffic through the making Of grants
for what are called provincial High
ways" and for the provincial highway
proper. For the provincial highway
proper, the province provides 20 per
cent. Of the money, with the munici-
palities giving the remaining 30 per
cent and for the county provincial
highways the province supplies 60 per
cent of the funds and the counties 40
per cent
Most Farmers Motorists.
In Ontario the province has been
spending AN fees collected from motor
isis, approximately 81 100000, with
ibOut 100000 additional from other
provincial funds on its roads system.
Now that the great majority OF farm
ers Of Ontario are motorists, there Is
an insistend demand that economies in
governmental expenditures be made
elsewhere than In road building.
In addition to the protest from the
farmers and motorists generally, the
Dominion Government Is opposed 10
road building economies, and threatens
10 cut off an appropriation to the
Province Of Ontario of Si,500O00 al
nually for the next five years. unless
tile money is used to keep on with the
good road scheme instead Of merely re-
ducine the assessments to be made
against municipalities and county au-
tlOrit.es. ..,.t.
According TO figures prepared for the
entire province IL Is shown that town
shipsihaNe been spending S2000O00 per
wear on Co0d roads, counties have ap-
propriated 100000. while the PrOvin-
cal Government has spent S20OO,0O0 In

appropriation Of si20O.0OO a year. On
tariO viii be required TO increase its
appropriations by sis00,00O, making the
total annual budget for good roads In

lB case The Dominion appropriation
Is obtained, a large proportion Of IL

;.on OF the main provincial highway
