PARIS, July 26.-There is much
speculation in conference circles as
to what the exact status of the Ger
man treaty would be were the Unit
ed states senate 10 ratify it with
reservations or amendments. This
discussion has been intensified by the
publication in Paris Of Mr.. Taft's
statement indicating THAT he regards
a modification of the treaty as likely
and suggesting changes advisable.
Many OF the delegates take the po-
sition that It would be possible for
the supreme council TO approve the
notifications made By the senate.
Others believe that approval Of the
changes would be necessary OH the
part of all the signatory powers.
May Renew Negotiations.
Pres't Wilson, before leaving Paris
IS known TO have believed that any
change by the senate would make
imperative a renewal OF the nesotia =
tions with all the signatory powers

America could be admitted 10 the
League Of Nations Pres't Wilson's
views that changes must be passed
upon by individual countries is ap-
parently not shared - many Of the
delegates who are Of the opinion that
If the senate changes be agreed upon
while The conference is in session
they could be acted upon speedily by

REDOUBLE EFFORT
TO PREVENT ARMS
CROSSING BORDER
LOOK TO WILSON
FOR NEXT MOVE
Senators Expect President to
Issue Statement on Certain
Treaty Reservations.
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press:
WASHINGTON. July PC. - The
next important move in the senate
disagreement over reservations 10
the peace treaty is expected TO come
from Prest Wilson.
Having canvassed the senate stu
alton in his conference with Is SEN
ators. all of whom are said 10 have
told him they would support certain
reservations. it is expected the pres
ident soon will make known definite
" his attitude toward such a course.
It was indicated at the white house
today that expression of his views
on the subject might not await his
speaking tour TO begin two weeks
hence, but might be embodied in a
public statement within the next few
days.
Arouses Great Interest.
This aroused great interest among
republican senators though they
said it was not wholly unexpected.
Several republicans have told Mr..
Wilson the treaty never could be
ratified without interpretative quail
fcations, and yesterday at the sug-
gestion, it is understood, OF Repub-
lican Leader Lodge. a tentative draft
of reservations indicating in n gem
eral way the trend Of opinion
among many republican senators,
was laid before the president by
Sen. Spencer, republican, Missouri
The leaders for reservations say it
is now the presidents move.
The group of republicans who,
under the lead Of Sens. McCumber,
North Dakota, McNary. Oregon, are
working on a reservation program
designed to clarity the League of
Nations covenant without vitality
weakening it, believe the president
will announce his acceptance OF
such a course and that quick ratin-
cation of the treaty VIII ensue. IN
their talk with Mr.. Wilson, they say
he has indicated no radical antag-
Onism 10 senate qualifications, his
only fear being that the whole sub
ject might be thrown back into re-
negotiation.
Democrats Think Otherwise.
The presidents democratic sup
porters in the senate, however, are
not in accord with this view and
predict that he will assert himself
for unreserved ratification and then
90 to the country in an effort 10 for
tify public sentiment behind that
stand The president saw no repub-
lican senators today. but in a letter
TO Mr.. Lodge replied 10 inquiries
about the treaty sent TO the white
house by the foreign relations com
mittee lie wrote that so far as
he knew. no decision had beer
reached for division of Germany

treaty's provision that it shall be al
lotted among her enemies lin the

mined by them in advance The

with the Versailles negotiations

INSURANCE FOR
STUDEBAKER MEN
Increase in Wages, Shorter
Hours, Begin Friday,
August |.

Shorter hours, increased wages,
cooperative ownership and an elab-
crate system of social insurance are
all provided for Studebaker cor
pora ton employees in one of the
most radical industrial programs
ever outlined by big business in the
United States. The changes will be-
come effective Aug. 1.
Approximately 5000 employees
will be affected by the proposed
changes. They Will be given the
opportunity of purchasing stock in
the corporation and will be provided

provide
The program as announced by the
StuGebaker corporation Saturday is
in keeping with reconstruction pro-
grams urged by industrial leaders
the country over. The Studebaker
concern is, however, perhaps the
first big plant In the country to put
the plan in operation. Similar pro-
grams have been strongly advocated
by John u. Rock efeIler, jr., and by
Roger w. BabsOn, the noted New
York industrial adviser, but have
been tried out only in the smaller
industries.

Students of economies, while not
considering the program as an alb

antidote for bolshevist tendencies

from day to day. The merchant is op-
Grating with skeleton stock upon his
shelves. The public is refraining from
purchasing except for its immediate
necessities. Everyone is waiting for
everyone else.
How can business be energizeA?
How can confidence be restored
throughout the country? How can la
Dor be induced to get back its desire to
produce and capital to speed up the
rehabilitation of peace-time activi-
ties?
Mr.. Babson believes that the desired
results can be accomplished by ad-
ministering the following stimulants
to the country.
First, tell all progressive merchants
and manufacturers-tell all who have
anything to tell-to advertise now and
take advantage of the great market
which exists at this time.
Second, tell the public that now is
the time to buy-that they, the people,
in normal peace times, are the control
lers of all production and all distrib-
ution.
If the consumer buys the merchant
sells and-in turn is forced to buy. The
manufacturer and the producer of raw
materials are forced to buy and sell.
Labor is put to work. The brakes put
upon industry are thus removed. The
machinery of production and distribu-
ton is set in motion.
To create the desired stimulus the
public is being urged to buy, to buy
wisely, but to buy now-today-what
it wants.
Now is the time when a few addi-
tional purchases added to the daily ne
cessity purchases will increase the
grand total of sales to such magni-
tude that the merchant will be obliged
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1919-05-20

to replenish his stock on large scale.
The wholesaler, the manufacturer, and
the producer of raw materials will be
obliged to increase their production A
demand will be created for all the
goods which the workingman pro-
duces. There will be job for each
jobless man. General confidence will
be restored. Business will be boom
ing. Reconstruction and remobiliza-
ton of our war activities into peace
industries will go on quietly, energet-
ically, healthy. unconsciously. Pros
perity will come again normal
prosperity of peace with industries
running at full time and the worker
at his bench or his desk,
Now is the psychological time to be-
gin thish drive for prosperity. Let
us do all that we can to allow the per-
iod of reconstruction to pass with the
least possible hardships for labor and
capital.
We, the people, must start the ball
a-rolling-must do what we can, buy
what we can, help all we can. So BUY
NOW, buy wisely, buy intelligently,
buy carefully, buy judiciously, but buy
today.
Now is the psychological time. Let's

BUY RIGHT NOW,
BUT Buy WISELY
Government Slogans to Regain Conf.
dence and Prosperity.

Buy now, but Buy Wisely. This is
the slogan upon which the lnforma-
ton and Education Service Of the De-
partment of Labor, under the guild
ance of Roger W. Babson, is conduct
ing campaign to boost this country
from a period of uncertainty into a
period of prosperity.
Mr.. Babson says that the surest way
to get the desired results Is to tell the
people what the trouble is and then to
tell them how to remedy it.
Briefly, our difficulties are due to the
necessary readiustment of our war
time activities into peace-time indus
tries. During the war the Government
sked the people to refrain from buy
lg anything they did not actually
tneed. Every dollar, every ounce of
strength, was needed for war pur-
poses; there was nothing to spare for
the production of things which could
be done without.
Now the war has ended, and we find
that our stocks of peace-time goods
are depleted. There is lack of al
most everything that was not produced
in quantity for the war. With the de-
pletion of our supplies there has come
since the signing of the armistice ner-
vous relaxation and feeling of un-
certainty and loss of confidence
throughout the country.
Labor and capital are muddled. In
dustry Is marking time. The manu-
facturer has not been purchasing his
raw materials eycept as he needs then

still in the army service and it might
be that urgent appeals like mine would

also, that many have drifted into other
