RAlLROADING
THE TREATY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S-Th,
Republican Publicity Association
through its President. Hon. Jonathan
Bourne Jr., today gave out the fol
lowing statement from its Washing
ton headquarters
Having exhausted his imagina-
ton in conjuring up defenses for the
league OF nations, Senator Hitchcock
is now busying himself in berating
the foreign relations committee for
what he chooses to term its lack OF
action on the treaty. A new issue
was raised. modestly declares the
Wilson spokesman. When asked
the chairman of the foreign relations
committee and majority members
when they proposed to get action.
That was indeed new issue. for
nobody else has exhibited any i'm
patience over the time consumed by
the committee in studying and gath
ering Information on the treaty for
submission to the senate.
For five weeks continues the
indignant Mr.. Hitchcock, the treaty
has been in cold storage without
vote or any other action Evident
ly he would have the country believe
that the impressive document was
tucked away in pigeon hole while
committee members disported them
selves at golf or at the seashore. But
the opposite is the truth. Almost
daily meetings OF the committee have
been held, at which have appeared
Secretary Lansing, Mr.. Baruch. Mr..
Norman Davis. Mr. Gradley Palmer.
and other gentlemen intimately con-
nected with the framing of the tech
nical provisions of the treaty. They
have explained the reasons for the |
language used and further expert
testimony is expected on other phas-
y OF the document. This Is the oniy
method at the comand OF the commit
zee for extracting it's information.
Soon after the treaty was given to
he Senate a resolution was adopted
'equesting the President to submit
he famous Bliss letter on the Shan
ung settlement. the discarded Amer.
can draft OF the league covenant, all
he proceedings. debates. etc., of the
pecial commission that framed the

This would mean that the state prison

thought that the legislature would place
in the hands of the governor an emer-

with which to meet all deficiencies. But
the legislature did not give him that
amount. and thereby hangs the tale.
