GIVE TREATY TRIAL
BECKMAN URGES IN
SPEECH To SENATE
If Suggested by Governments
Will Score Big Advantage
He Says.

Washington, July 22.-Speaking in
support of the peace treaty in the SEN
ate today Senator Beckman, democrat,
Of Kentucky, urged early ratification
without reservations, declaring a ma
jority of the American people favor a
trail in the hope that the league of ma
tions will promote international concord.
mo advocate Of this document" Sen
ator Beckman said, "can proclaim it
perfect. No idealist can safely promise
that it. beyond all doubt, removes the
possibility of war in the future. But
it at least comes to us with a promise
that if given d fair trial, if improved
where improvements may be found neces-
sary later on, and if supported by the
civilized governments of the earth, it will
certainly be a tremendous advance over
all previous plans, and one that may
in reality fulfill the dreams of its most
enthusiastic advocates a world wide and
enduring peace.
Keep Out Politics.
Senator Beckman warned republican
leaders against making the league of ma
tions partisan question, declaring it is
one which "transcends all partisan or
personal issues
THE great common people of this
country" said the Kentucky senator.
have seen with remarkable quickness and
precision that flaw in the argument Of
the opposition which suggested no sub
stitute, which proposes no plan. which
offers no remedy to protect US in any
way whatever from the hideous monster
of war They realize no instrument OF
this kind can be at once framed and
promulgated without imperfections or
defects; but they are willing to try 1t.
Opposition TO the treaty because Of
the Shantung provision, Senator Beck
ham characterized as 'tone of the shall
lowest arguments yet advanced.
Give Japan Chance.
1T is one however" he added, that
appeals to sentiment and the lmaglna-
tion and opponents of the league have
not failed to play upon that feature OF 1t
and to exaggerate its Importance IN re-
lation to the multitude of far more vital
problems which this treaty undertakes
to settle.
Il think that under all Of the circum-
stances the peace conference did the
best it could in regard to the Shantung
issue. Let Japan be given the opportunl-
ty to make good her promise to right
the wrong originally committed by Ger
man before we undertake this severe
and improper criticism of her
Senator Reckham said it was surpris-
ing that men Of distinguished ability
should base their arguments on isoia-

delnsion that we can maintain isolation

however odous and ahominable they
may seem to us.

Washington. July 22.-By vote OF
nearly three to one, the house, weary Of
talk on prohibition, today passed a blll
for its enforcement, with provisions ana
penalties so drastic as to bring from tne
men who framed it the prediction 1t
would forever suppress the liquor traf-

Dry Leaders Smile.
A broad smile spread over the faces
Of the prohibition leaders, for their work
was ended and the measure was ready
for the senate. where many Of its re-
strictions may be modified, or stricken
out. The cloakroom rumor persisted
that all Of this legislative effort might
end on the shoal of presidential veto.
altho the general view was that 1t would
be signed as passed.
Before the house put the bill on its
passage one final but feeble hand was
reached forth to put in its place brief
er and more liberal measure.
This took the form Of a three para
graph bill by Representative Igoe. dem
ocrat, Missouri, introduced some days
ago and offered today in the form of a
motion to recommit which meant its
substitution for the general enforce
ment measure if the house saw fit. But
the house did not.
Igos Motion Lost.
Mr.. Igoes motion was defeated 30 to
1876 and this vote anayzed meant that
ut least 36 members who favored a more
liberal bill took the more drastic one
when there was no other choice.

ed, Henry p. Fletcher, United States
Ambassador to Mexico today told the
house rules committee in a hearing on
the Gould resolution proposing appoint
ment of congressional committee to in
vestigate relations between the two
countries.
The ambassador also laid before the
committee a report compiled by the state
department in response to senate res
olution showing that since the close OF

American citizens in Mexico.
Relations between the two countries,
however, Mr.. Fletcher said, have i'm

added that there was wonderful sub
mission to the carranza rule in all
the sections which the government con-
trolls.
Replying to questions by Chairman
Campbell. Ambassador Fletcher said
withdrawal of recognition Of the Car
\ rama government by the United States
would only increase the turmoil in the
southern republic. He added that he did
not know of any revolutionary leader
capable Of establishing permanent
government.
Ambassador Fletcher said Mexican
newspapers were very hostile to the
United States. but he had not noticed
any special anti ti-American feeling in Mex
leo and explained that the presence of
more American citizen ns there than other
foreigners probably accounted for the
greater number Of outrages affecting
Americans.
When Chairman Campbell called at
tention to the recent murder Of an
American citizen and the maltreatment
of his wife in Mexico, the ambassador
said this did not involve relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
Pressed further al to Improvement IN
conditions in Mexico, the ambassador
said that among other things agencies by
which the United States was better able
to transact business with Mexico have
been established during the past three
years.
"Are the murders Of American citizens

man Campbell. The ambassador replied
that he would refer the committee to the
