MINORITY REPORT
STRONG FOR LEAGUE
Clears the Way for Long Fight
in the Senate
BATTLE OF WEEKS EXPECTED
Declares Majority Has Misinterpreted
Covenant And Is Trying To
Kin It BY lndlree-
ton,


Washington.-Six Democratic mem
bers Of the Foreign Relations Com
nittee presented to the Senate d
minority report on the peace treaty
urging unqualified adoption of the
pact.
The report replies to statements
made in the majority report fled by
Senator Lodge and charges that Sen
ators opposing the league of nations,
knowing it is invincible in a fair fight,
are trying to defeat it "by indirection''
through reservations.
The proposed reservations, the re.
port said, have all the vices of amend
ments and the additional vice of pre-
tending to be what they are not
interpretations of the covenant Ian.
guage.,
The document, which was signed by
Senators Hitchcock, Williams, Swan
son, Pomerene, Smith. of Arizona, and
Pittman, stated:
That delay in reporting the
peace treaty has resulted in gov
eminent by obstruction"
That American trade already
shows effects of this delay
That adoption of the majority's
amendments or reservations
means the United States will lose
all concessions secured from Ger
many by dictated peace.
That the reservations are the
work of Senators determined to
destroy the league and, if pos
sible, defeat the treaty.
That the league of nations is
the worlds only hope of preevnt- =
ing international chaos.
That those opposing it have
nothing to. offer to do this.
we deplore," said the report, "the
long and unnecessary delay to which
the treaty has been subjected while
locked up in the committee, whose ma
jority decisions and recommendations
were from the start foregone con.
clusion.
"The industrial world is in ferment
the financial world in doubt, and com
merce halts while this great delay in
the peace settlement has been caused
by the majority Of committee known
to be out of harmony with the ma
jority of the Senate and the majority
Of the people. This is government by
obstruction as well as by minority.
Taking up the majority amendments,
the report continued:
"As far as the proposed textual
amendments are concerned, -. they
have no merit, y. None of them could
by any possibility be accepted even by
the great nations associated with the
United States in war and none of them
would by any possibility be dictated
to Germany To adopt any one OF
them, therefore, is equivalent to re-
jecting the treaty"

MUSIC NOTES.
by PaM E. Joseph, US N. Band.)

Those who listened to the special con
cert given by the u. S.. Naval Band Of
Christiansted on the 31st January have
certainly heard the grand selection that
was played in the first part of the pro-
gram. Romeo and Juliet is a drama com
posed by Shakespeare. 1t was set in
opera form by Charles Gounoud, and it
is from this opera that Tobanni has made
his grand selection for band. 1t is sim
ply fair, that in consequence of the per-
Torrance of a representation oil, the great
work, a few words be said in it's honor.
TIL following is taken from the Victrola
Book of the Opera, which can be relied
upon as being authentic. The book says:
"Gounoud's sweetly sentimental set
ting of this great tragedy of love and
death has received a popularity second
only to his Faust. Some critics have
called the music too insipid, but very
few who have heard the splendid arias
for Juliet will agree with this opinion"

the characters Of the play the story con-
tinues.
The Action Takes Place In Verona.
Romeo and Juliet overfoWs with
charming music. Gounoud having writ
ten for the lovers some of the most
emotional passages ever composed, and

Boston, Feby. 7th-Pierce Williams,
Commercial Attache Of the United
States at Paris, urged members of the
New England Shoe and Leather Asso-
citation to be considerate of Great Bri-
tain and other countries which might
declare embargo on certain goods manu-
featured IN the United States. He
declared that Great Britain, France and
some other countries after four years
OF war could not afford to buy from the
United States to any extent and that
IN Great Britain it was necessary that
industries be kept in operation in order
to offset the threatened lab0ur tr0u-

Professor Delbrueck, historian and pub

today during a discussion of the Paris

said: The question of what constitutes
a peace of justice can best be answered
by investigating the last separate de-
mand made to see whether it is c~aIcula-

some future day or whether it serves the
idea of an enduring peace. 1t is pro-
posed to impose upon Germany a bur
den which it cannot throw off in a
short time, but which would make the
country the wage slave of its enemies
for decades. This could be carried out
only if Germany were to be kept subdued
by armed force all this time. But there

 CTed Robinson in Cleveland Plain
 Dealer) There's too much grass grows in the
 country,
 There are too many flowers and
 bees; There are too many birds in the
 orchards,
 And too many blooms on the trees. There are too many magical meadows Where fairies are hiding, and elves There are too many times when you
 cannot make rhymes, For the rhymes manufacture them
 selvesl There are too many great silent
 spaces,
 The sky is too deep and too blue: Too much time in which dreaming and
 thinking.
 And praying, is all you can do. Too far to the hazy horizon, Too near to the eaf-matted sod Too far from the blind, nervous rush
 of mankind Too near to the calmness of God! It's too hard for us from the city To fit with the bigness of things We're plunged in the space of creation, And then not provided with wings. It's 100 hard to grow, as we have to. To be one with the spirit that scars: Too hard to expand to the size of the
 land,
 And the Soul of the Great Out-of-
