SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS
ON THE GOLD SITUATION

The Associated Press carried a dis
tion Of the excess profits tax on gold
mining and the privilege of free ex-
ports and of sale to manufacturers as
means of stimulating gold production
were recommended in report Sunday
Of the special committee appointed by
Secretary Lane to investigate the
causes Of the decline in the output.
"Gold mining has been seriously in
jured by the war;" said the report. land
has been Disseminated against for the
protection and benefit of the treasury
in that the export Of gold and even in
ternal free trade in the metal was in
terrupted."
The chief cause given by the COM
mittee for the falling off in output was
the increase in operating costs from 81
cents for a dollars worth OF gold in
1917 to 20 cents in 1913
1.-THE present decrease in gold pro-
duction Is serious" said the report. "as
serve is essential to our national finan-
ces and Credit"
Possible methods of maintaining the
visible gold reserve. the committee said.
would be in the curtailing OF the use of
gold for manufacturers and In call on
the public to turn in boarded gold. Fur
ther relief might be obtained, 1t was
said. by amending the war minerals bill
% include gold and the voting OF an ap-
preparation to be used in directing the
search for new deposits.
In this connection the committee de-
olared that the future OF gold mining in
the world was problematical; that the
gold output of the world seemed to have
passed It's zenith.

the fact that the Denver Bond Dealers

to regulate the other fellow and elmin-
ate bonds and other classes OF securi-

appointment of commission by the
secretary OF state to pass upon new
stock or bond issues would mean more
political graft and further burden up

No statement was made today with
regard to the charges in the Senate
yesterday that the President had vio-
lated the section of the treaty by not
presenting it simultaneously with the
treaty at Versailles.
Republican leaders accused the
president Of having withheld from
the Senate the treaty entered into
between Great Britain, the United
States and France in June, by which
the two former nations agreed to
aid France in the event of attack by
Germany. In doing this, they de-
clared, the President had violated
Article Of the agreement, which
proc ided that it be submitted to the
United States along with the treaty
of peace with the German republic.
Senator Brandegee Of Connecticut
who projected the Anglo-American
French treaty into the debate, declar-
ed that, although the President had
promised in his address before the
Senate on July 10 to submit the
treaty soon, he had not done so up
to this time. In having failed to sub
NIT it along with the treaty with
Germany, the Connecticut senator
charged, the President "for some un~
explained reason" had violated "thc
explicit agreement contained in a.
ticle A of the agreement"
Mr. Brandegee read to the Senate
what purported to be the text of the
Anglo-American French agreement,
published in Harvey's Weekly, the
magazine of Col. George Harvey.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
foreign relations committee, inter
rupted to say that although the treaty
had been withheld from the Senate, it
had also been published in the Lon
don Times of July 4, and also in the
Figaro of Paris of July 3. He real
to the Senate article 4, first in French
and then in English, as it is said TO
appear in the Anglo-American-
fenCn treaty. MS aFllcle, as
quoted by Senator Lodge, reads as
follows:
"The present treaty will be sub
mittcd to the Senate of the United
States at the same time as the treaty
of Versailles is submitted to the SEN
ate for its advice and consent to raft
fication."
Mr.. Lodge could not understand, he
said, why the treaty had not been
submitted along with the treaty with
Germany. SO as to get the treaty
before the Senate, Mr.. Lodge offered
resolution calling on the President
to submit it "if not incompatible with
the public interest" The resolution
went over for consideration.
The debate turned to the Presi-
dents White House conferences with
Republican senators, Mr.. Brandegee
comparing them, in relation to the
treaty with a jury trial in which evil
