Palmer Renews Fight
for His Confirmation

and answered by Mr.. Palmer, who
presented an affidavit from Mr.
Kennard repudiating his previous
statement
Mr.. Palmer also stated that Mr.
Kennard, after making his repudiat-
ing affidavit before officers of the
property custodian, had promised
to appear before the committee but
could not be located.
Answering Mr.. Remington's state
ment that the attorney general must
pass on claims of owners and cred
itors of enemy property seized by
the alien property custodian, Mr..
Palmer argued that justice of the
claims could not be decided by the
attorney general, but must be deter
mined by the federal courts in regu-
larly instituted legal proceedings.
In reply to Mr.. Remingtons asser-
ton that Mr.. Palmer's construction
of the custodian's powers were err
roneous, the attorney general re-
piled that these powers had been up
held in every federal court in which
they had been tested.
Mr.. Palmer declared there was
nothing inconsistent in his jurisdic-
ton of claims for property made
against the alien property custodian:
Declaring that he never had passed
personally on single claim, as such
matters were handled by subordi-
mates.

the final ratification of the peace
treaty but for three months there
after.
Parliamentary approval is not re-
quired in the case of this treaty in
Japan but it is said, nevertheless,
there are mechanical and routine
differences to be surmounted that
will necessarily consume much time
probably several weeks-before
the document can be ratified.

dent had opened correspondence on
the subject with the democratic side
of the senate. 1t remained conjectural
how far these negotiations might go
toward bringing some democrats
and some republicans together on
the middle gfound on interpretative
reservations, but the republicans
who favor the league idea seemed
more confident than ever that in the
end Mr.. Wilson himself would be
found committed to such course.
Hays and Lodge Talk.
Publication of Mr.. Taft's letters
to Will H. Hays, the republican
national chairman, was followed by
telephone conversation between Mr..
Hays, who is in Indiana, and Sena-
tor Lodge. Mr.. Lodge declined to
discuss his talk with the chairman,
but it is understood the latter called
up in regard to the letters which he
said had not reached him.
While Senator Lodge declined to
60 into his views on the Taft pro-
posal, other senator's who have stood
close to him in the treaty fight in
dicated they considered the develop
ment as a break in the ranks of
league supporters which eventually
would widen to permit radical
amendment of the covenant or even
rejection of the entire treaty. They
pointed out that the former presi
dent heretofore had stood consist
entity for unreserved ratification, and
declared that his letters to Mr. Hays
and to senators showed that the
president had lost one of the most
valuable exponents of his cause.
In administration circles, however,
it was pointed out Mr.. Taft had
written that he still believed the
treaty should be ratified without
reservation.
Discuss Shantung Phase.
Katsuji Debuchi, Japanese charg,
d'affaires, visited the state depart
ment Thursday and discussed with
various officials the Shantung set
tlement provision of the peace
treaty. In this connection it was
learned the Japanese government
had been advised fully of the
strength of sentiment developed in
the senate favoring the restoration
of Shantung to China and also that
the government was aware OF the
standing conveyed in Wednes-
days White House statement that
it speedily would clarity the situa-
ton by some declaration of its pur-
pose regarding Shantung.
While so far as known the Japa-
nese government has not authorized
any statement on the Shantung
question, it is suggested by officials
the reason might be found in Arti-
Gle 15S, Section VIII, of the peace
treaty.
Must Hand Over Documents.
This article requires Germany to
hand over to Japan within three
months of the coming into force OF
the treaty the archives, registers,
plans, title deeds and documents of
every kind relating to the territory
of Kiaochow, including all of the
treaties bearing on the subject. 1t
is said that until these are had the
Japanese government itself is not
able to make any pledges of re-
linquislments because it does not
exactly know the extent Of its own
holdings in Kiaochow and Shan
tung, nor, unless Germany should
anticipate the treaty provisions on
this point will Japan be in position
to transfer title not only before

OF the assembly, the spectators and

and then Numbered out the word
which announced the German govern
ment's rejection of the Versailles o IN

Leaders Of the various groups, with
the exception Of the Hugo Haase
group, made speeches backing the gov
eminent.
The chancellor described the peace
treaty as a dreadful and murderous"
document. He said II would make an
enormous jail Of Germany. In which
6O,OOO.OOO persons would have to labor
for the victors In the war. The chan
cellOr said German trade would be
strangled should the peace terms be
accepted.
THAT Is the jail picture In Its ex'
ternal aspects" he continued, without
ships because the mercantile fleet
passes into entente hands, without ca
bles, without colonies. without foreign
settlements, without reciprocity and
legal protectiOn-yes, and even with.
out the right to cooperate in fixing the
prices for the goods and articles which
we have to deliver as tribute.
II ask va what honest man will say
that Germany a accept such condi'
tiOns? AT the same time. as we shall
have to bestir ourselves to perform
forced labor for the benefit of the
entire world. our foreign trade, the
sole source of our welfare, Is destroyed
and our home trade Is rendered impOs,
sible."
He criticized President Wilson and
said that the president by his attitude
had deceived the hopes of the German
people.
The imperial ministry met to dis.

Gated to the entente. Practical ques-
tons and considerations relating to
