Text of Proceedings OF
Treaty Conference BetWeen
President and Senators
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press
washington, August 19.-The following
is summary of the conference on the
peace treaty held today between the
President and members of the Senate for
ign relations committee. The President
opened the conference with the following
statement:
Mr. Chairman; l am sincerely glad
that the committee should have re-
sponded in this way to my intfmation
that would like to be of service to it.
l welcome the opportunity for frank
and full exchange of views. I1hope, too,
that this conference will sec fit to expe-
dite your consideration of the treaty OF
peace.
Il beg that you will pardon and in
dulge me if | again urge that practically
the whole task of bringing the country
back to normal conditions OF life and in
dustry awaits upon the decisions of the
Senate with regard to the terms of the
peace itself.
Il venture thus again to urge my advice
that the action of the Senate, with regard
to the treaty, be taken at the earliest
practicable moment, because the prob
lens with which we are face to face in
the readjustment of our national life,
are OF the most pressing and critical
character which will require for their
proper solution the most intimate and
Sisinterested cooperation of all parties
and all interests, and cannot be post
| poned without manifest peril to our peo-
Pile, and to all the national advantages
we hold most dear. May | mention

The close proximity of the bandit
rendezvous to the border led to the
hope that the American troops might
oyertake them, before they would have
time to scatter.
Reports to the state departing to-
day from the American consul at Ell
Paso said that late last week General
Diguez Mexican colnmandant at Chi
huahua City, had ordered Mexican cav
ally patrols out through the country
where the American officers were held,
but there was no indication whether
these patrols were still operating.
The department also was advised by the
American embassy at Mexico City that
when it made representations regarding
the capture of the aviators. the Mexican
foreign office promised to see that every
possible step was taken to assist in the
rescue of the men.

failed TO fulfill them and never will.

of the league can only advise upon the

great article are to be gwen affect too,
unless the United States is a party to
the policy, or action in question, her
own affirmative vote in the council is
necessary before any advice can be

trouble is hers anyhow. And the unan-

could have been made more clear to
the conference than the right of con-

was made to question or limit that
right. The United States will in deed
undertake under Article 10 to respect
and preserve as against external Ng-
