"A SHOCK TO
THE COUNTRY
Senator Hitchcock So characterizes
Senator knox's Attack on the
Peace Treaty
INSANE FOREIGN POLICY
Amendment or Defeat Of the Treaty
! Would Be Commercial and Financial
Disaster for America, Says
Nebraska Senator

Washington Special-Declaring that
any amendment to the treaty Of peace,
good or bad, reasonable or unreason-
able, means the defeat of the treaty
with all its disastrous consequences,
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska made
Ia powerful speech in the Senate today
urging that the treaty be ratified
without delay and without amendment.
Referring to. the recent speech Of
Senator McCumber, Republican CT
North Dakota, who voted against the
Shantung amendment in the foreign
relations committee, Senator Hitch
cock said: "He has shown that the
proposed amendment instead Of help
ing China deprives her of the bene-
fit of the promises and concession
the United States has expected from
Japan, he has shown that Japan is
already in possession of the German
rights, privileges and lease holds. He
has also shown that Great Britain
and France are under pledge to Japan.
to stand by her in her claim, and he
has challenged the supporters of the
proposed amendment to show how
China can possibly be benefited unless
when we reject Japan's promises we
propose to go to war with her and
drive her out of Shantung for the
benefit Of China.
II think the Senator from North
Dakota conclusively demonstrated
the folly of the proposed amendment
as far as it concerns China and the
danger that it involves to the United
States"
Senator Hitchcock then explained
the inevitable results if the Senate
should vote in favor of the Shantung
amendment or any other. He said
that one of two things would happen
either the president would refuse
to 20 further with the treaty, or he
would have to submit the amendment
to the nations associated with the
United States in the war.

TAKING IN TOO MUCH
TERRITORY-NoT

Lately we have discarded the
statement that Liberal is the best
town of its size in Kansas, for
the reason that it does not include
enough territory, and have used the
expression "the best town in the
world" Now, when you mention
Liberal just say it is the best town
of its size in the world and then
challenge your man to show you a
better. He can't do it and you
can make it stick. And when a
fellow tells you Liberal is going
to make a better town, just call
him with the statement that it
twill become larger but not any
better, because it is already just
as good as a town can get" and
see his eyes stick out.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-09-11

"Does anyone believe" asked tn,
Senator, that the other nations
would accept the Shantung amend
ment ?" He pointed out that Grea
Britain has already ratified the treaty
and is under pledge to Japan with
reference to Shantung; that France
is soon to ratify the treaty and is
under the same pledge to Japan.
"Does anyone suppose that Japan
herself would submit to such humil.
iation before the eyes of the world p
asked Hitchcock. "The answer i!
simple" he asserted. 1--WE would fine
ourselves out in the cold, isolated
from the rest of the world"
"What then, will the United State.
do? What will those American
statesmen propose who stand for this
method of killing the treaty? Some
Of them will say that Congress car
pass a joint resolution declaring {
state Of peace with Germany. Others
say the United States can negotiate

this way evidently have no conception
Of the enormous benefits and advan

Neither have they any conception o

ITO my mind, it would be suicida
for the United States to throw ava,
