.. S. Printing Plant
Breaks Record in
Setting Treaty Text

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Establish-
ing a new speed record, the govern
ment printing Office within two hours
tonight set up in type the German
peace treaty consisting of nearly 1O0,-
900 words.
AS the treaty will appear tomorrow,
it will cover 81 pages Of the Con-
grcssional record and will have cost
the government $4,000 to print, of
which $1,000 represents the cost of
placing it in type. Thirty-five thou
sand copies Of the record were printed
tonight.
Decision of the Senate to insert the
treaty in the Record" was not reached
until nearly S p. m. Twenty minutes
later it was being cut up into "takes"
by William J. McEvoy, assistant super
intendent of printing, and distributed
to forty-eight Lintoype operators.
Though the copy Of the document,
which was printed in Paris, contained
a number Of maps, under the Senate
rules these could not be reproduced in
the Record" Nine thousand six hun
dred pounds of print paper were used
in the printing of the treaty. The type
used weighed about 1900 pounds.

Wilson'S Cablegram Resented
1t was the Presidents cablegram to
Senator Hitchcock, through Tumulty,
which spurred on the Administration
Senators to make such vigorous fight
against the printing of the treaty in
"The Record"
The fact that the cable was sent
through Tumulty, and not to Senator
Hitchcock direct, was regarded by
many Senators as just another Presi-
Dental slap at the Senate, and did not
help to smooth over the situation. Mr..
Brandegee mentioned sarcasticallv
that Mr.. Tumulty was the conduit"
through which the President communi-
Gated with the Senate. There were
many Democratic Senators also who
privately expressed anger at this,

caught the Administration Senator's
mapping. Nine of them voted with the
Republicans, while Mr.. McCumber
voted with the Democrats, saying he
was merely following the practice Of
twenty years in voting to hold all
treaties confidential.
After the vote the debate began. dur
ing which there was a vigorous drive
by the Administration forces to whin
their stragglers into line. Senator
Ashurst, of Arizona, na7vely explained
that the vote was taken without de-
bate, and that when unadvised it was

vides for a recession of "the whole or
part" of the district to Germany or a
cession of "the whole or a part" to
France. Much embarrassment would
naturally arise if the districts divided

French territory or a French enclave

In the summary Section w dealt with
German Rights Outside Europe" In
the text, as published, the matter COW
cred by that section appears as Sec
tion XIV (probably msnumbering for
IV), Section II (probably misnumber-
ing for W, and Section vi and Sec
tion VIII (probably misnumberng for
VID. On the other hand, Sections V.
VI and VII of the summary, dealing
with military, Naval and Air Forces"
Repatriation of Prisoners" and "Re-
sponsibility for Starting the War" are
omitted in the published text.
The reparation and financial terms
seem to have been fully outlined in
the summary Under the section re-
quiring Germany to make a ton-for-
ton replacement of Allied shipping de-
stroyed, these additional penalties were
overlooked:
"7. Germany agrees to take any
measures that may be indicated to
her by the Reparation Commission
for obtaining the full title of the
property in ships which have during
the war been transferred, or are in
process of transfer, to neutral flags

! and their accessories and subsidiar-
les, which become the property of the
French state, will continue, subject
to the provisions Of Paragraph % be-
low, to be subject to the regime es
tabished by the German laws and
regulations in force on the 11th of
November, 1918, excepting provisions
adopted exclusively in view of the
state of war. The rights of the work
men shall similarly be maintained
subject to the provisions of the said
Paragraph 23, as established on the
18th of November, 1918, by the Ger
man laws and regulations above re-
ferred to. No impediment shall be
placed in the way of the introduction
or employment in the mines and their
accessories and subsidiaries of work
men from without the Basin. The
employees and workmen of French
nationality shall have the right to be-
long to French labor unions.
"14. The French staff shall always
have the right of establishing and
taintaining, as incidental to the
mines, primary or technical schools

in accordance with such curriculum
and by such teachers as it may select.
1t shall also have the right to estab
llsh and maintain hospitals, dispen-
sarles, workmen's houses and gar
dens and other charitable and social
institutions"
The summary failed to note that if
Germany buys back the mines from
France in the event of vote for re-
patriation in 1884 she abligates herself
to pay in gold. Objection to this pro-
vision was made by Count Brockdorff-
Rantzau on the score that Germany's
ability to accumulate gold would be
dependent entirely on the policy of the
Allied Reparation Commission,
Regarding the plebiscite, the sum-
mary said: taking into account the
opinions thus expressed (by the vot
under which the territory is to be
placed, taking into account the wishes
of the inhabitants as expressed by the
voters"
The transposition Of the two clauses
may be held to alter the sense to some
extent, since in the latter phrasing
the decision does not have to accord
with the vote, If the league wills
otherwise.

1S d Hdtter CT 1aCt, we know that
1t is not the treaty. We know that it
was the copy originally agreed upon
by the nations as a demand and pre-
sented to Germany. We know that for
several weeks the German representa-
tives have been resisting that demand,
and that already they have secured
notifications of that demand-modif1-
cations which have been agreed to-.
And yet the Senate of the United States
proposes by an official publication to
give out to the world what Germany has
given out and what Germany wants to
give out.
THE reason for keeping the tenta-
tive treaty secret at the time Ger
many had acted was for the purpose
o. promoting the signing Of the treaty
The reason that Germany sought to
give publicity to it was for the pur-
pose of making trouble in France and
trouble in Great Britain and trouble
IN the nearby countries when the
rcgotiators made concessions to the
German demands. Now the Senator
OF the United States can go on record
III conflict with the President. but
VIXEN it goes on record in conflict with
the President it goes on record in con-
hlct with other nations associated
with the United States"
Senator Hitchcock declared that Sem
ator johnson has asserted that the sy-
nopsls was given out "for the purpose
Of deceiving the American public"
NO such statement was ever made
by the Senator from California" said
senator Johnson, "and I trust that tho
senator from Nebraska, with that Pc
culiar acumen and mental ANALYSIS
winch ne possesses, will refrain from
making misstatement of that sort"
Senator Chamberlain added that he
believed it yer unfortunate that dis
cusslon Of the treaty had fallen into
political lines. He said that the Re-
pubiicans as rule are opposing the
treaty while Democrats, without
knowing what is in it, are supporting
i probably as an Administration meas
ure" He declared he was sorry he
could not accept everything that comes
as an Administration measure.
The people of America, he> said,
should not have the treaty presented
to them as political proposition.

Transport Safeguarded

I. Ihe equipment and personnel
necessary to insure the dispatch and
transport of the products of the
mines and their accessories and their
subsidiaries, as we'll as the carriage
OF "orkmen and employees, will be
provided by the local administration
of the basin.
.. No obstacle shall be placed in
the way of such improvement of rail
ways or waterways as the French
State may judge necessary to assure
the dispatch and the transport of the
products of the mines and their
accessories and subsidiaries, such as
double trackage, enlargements of sta
uons and construction of yards and
appurtenances. The distribution of
expenses will, in the event Of dis
agreement, be submitted to arbi-
tration.
"The French State may also estab-
llsh any new means of communica-
ton, such as roads, electric lines and
telephone connection, which it NAV
consider necessary for the exploita-
tion Of the mines.
1T may exploit freely and with
out any restrictions the means of
communication of which it NAV be-
come the owner, particularly those
connecting the mines and their access
sorles and subsidiaries with the
means of communication situated in
French territory"
These last paragraphs will p;ve
france practical control of the trans
portatlon lines in the Saar district and
enable her to link them up with the
French railroad system for strategical
as we'll as industrial purposes.
Assimilation Possible
The following provisions NAV be
held to give France an opportunity
to pursue policy of assimilation
during the ffteen-year interregnum.
with view to influencing the result
of the plebiscite:
10. Every person whom the French
state. may substitute for itself as re-
CARDS the whole or part of its rights
to the exploitation of the mines and
their accessories and subsidiaries
shall enjoy the benefit of the nrivi-
leges provided in this annex.
