Chamber Of Commerce
Urges Compromise
Demands a Speedy Peace to
End World Unrest, but Not
One of International Isolation

The Chamber of Commerce yester-
day adopted a resolution calling upon
the President and the Senate to COM
pose their differences regarding the
peace treaty without delay by conces
sions regarding reservations which may
be necessary to obtain ratification, and
declaring that some form of interna-
tioNal covenant to prevent war is a
moral necessity.
Darwin P. Kingsley read the report
and the resolution prepared by the ex
ecutive committee and the committee
on finance and currency, some of the
members of which are Alfred C. Bed
ford, Welding Ring, Irving T. Bush,
Alfred E. Marling, f. H. Outerbridge,
Thomas W. Lamont, Otto T. Barnard
and Paul NJ. Warburg.
The Senate of the United States"
the report reads in part, faced with
the specific provisions of a compact
which demanded some departure from
the well-settled practices of the gov
ernment, hesitated, debated and de-
la. ed.
"Pending the ratification of the treaty
no adequate credit plans can be estab-
ished. The alarm of the whole world
of business over this protracted delay
is evidenced by the continued and
VIII oily unprecedented fall in the rates
of exchange-a fall almost as detri-
mental for US as exporters as it is for
the unfortunate peoples of Europe, who
are unable to buy from US the food and
materials which they so sorely need.
We want peace. We want it speed
lily; but we want an honorable peace
Many parts of Europe are in desperate

selves in the robes Of isolation. and self
interest would be as dishonorable as
further delay would have been in our
decision to enter the war on April 6,
1917"
Ole Hanson, formerly Mayor of Seat
tle,. who addressed the chamber, de-
scribed the coal strike as "premedi-
tated and concerted plan to freeze the
people of the United States to death
unless they surrender to a band of two
or three hundred thousand men,"
"lf it is necessary to close every uni
versity in the land, to close every non-
essential enterprise in the land, be-
lieve that the essential thing to do is

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Dcmocrats

prefer. For the first time since 1912
the Democratic leaders will hold n

No plans have been perfected to

President Wilson undoubtedly will

ROME, Dec. a. - The Chamber Of
Deputies opened yesterday amid great
excitement. Socialist Deputies were
present in larger numbers than on
Tuesday. All the Catholic party mem
bers occupied their seats.
Socialist Deputy Treves resumed his
protests against what he termed the
indignities suffered by his companions

of all parties who understood the grave

passing.
Premier Nitti, in a short statement,
agreed with Socialist Deputy Treves
that the hour was grave for Italy, and
declared it was for that reason he
sought the union of all Italian forces,
promising on his part to protect both
the majority and minority Deputies and
the lives of private citizens, and ask
ing the Socialists to judge him by his
work and not from preconceived and
erroneous ideas. The speech of the
Premier brought loud applause from
the non-Socialists.
Catho olic Deputy Mauri, who also re-
piled to Deputy Treves, admitted the
situation was serious and deplored re-

of all parties was necessary to bring

Resolution to End
War With Germany
Offered i'm House
Tinkham Proposal Lacks
Sanction of Republican
Leaders and Is Unlikely
to Get Out of Committee
Ne.o York Tribune
Wdshiu0ton Rursnu


WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.-Without the
approval OF Republican leaders. Repre-
sentative Tinkham, of Massachusetts,.
to-day introduced in the House a reso-
luton declaring the war between the
Onlted States and Germany "to be at
an end." 1t was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, of which
Mr.. Ilnkham is not a member, and it
was the opinion of leaders tonight that
1t Will not be passed by the House if
IL gets out OF committee, which also is
regarded as improbable.
The Tinkham resolution differs from
that of Senator Lodge, introduced in
the last session, in that it is joint
and not concurrent resolution, must
be approved by the President and then
thor declined to say whether he had
discussed it with Senator Lodge, but
SAID he had talked about it with men,
bers of the Senate, but not with House
leaders.
The attitude of the Republicans guild
ing the House on this resolution or
on that of Mr.. Lodge is that action of
this sort should not be initiated in
the House at least until it becomes
clear beyond question that the peace
treaty with Germany will not be re-

VIII be forced to take up that of Mr..
Tinkham in the near future. Chairman
Porter is out of town and not expected
to return until next week, so that any
action before that time is probably out
of the question. The Tinkham resolu-
tion reads as follows:
"Whereas, BY resolution of Congress
adopted April 6, 1917, by reason of acts
committed by the then German govern
ment, state Of war was declared to
exist between that government and the
United States; and
"Wnereas, The said acts of war of

ended by declaring: "The country
needs peace and work"
All the Catholics applauded, but the
Socialists denounced Signor Mauri,
crying. "Long live the Pope King" al
luding ironically to the loyalty Of the
Catholics to the Pope up to a few
years ago in what the anti-Clericals
charge were his aspirations to restore
the temporal power Of the Church, max
ing himself at the same time Pope and
King.
The Catholics at this redoubled their
applause, which took the form Of
counter demonstration against Social
lst attacks and in support of Signor
Mauri's speech, while the Socialists
shouted: "Jesuits! Jesuits!" For ten
minutes the confusion was so great
that the session virtually was sus-

ice, the volunteer guard and tn. citi-

Germany Likely To Be
Warned of Consequences
of Further Resistance

PARIS, Dec. 4.-1he supreme COun-
Gil spent the greater part of to-day's
session discussing the attitude of Ger
many toward the signing of the proto-
col putting the peace treaty into effect,
Germany's Representatives having de-
clared they could not sign it in its
present form, including its provision
for reparation for the German war
Ships sunk at Scapa Flow. and with
other features Objectionable to them.
The form of note to Germany on this
question was considered by the coun-
Gil, but no final decision was taken.
1t is anticipated in this connection
that the reply to the German note re-
garding the Scapa Flow question will
contain very strong presentations as
to the consequences of further resist
ance by Germany.
The council of five met to-day.
Marshal Foch was present. The sub
iects discussed were not made public
The Supreme Council decided to give
the small powers which possess sea-
coasts few of the smaller German
torpedo boats.
A report generally current in Paris
that Henry White. of the American
peace delegation, would remaia here
after the departure of the other mem
bers of the delegation to represent the
United States in the Supreme Council
finds no confirmation in authoritative
quarters. All the information obtain
able indicates the contrary, the most
probable arrangement being the ap
pointment OF Ambassador Wallace as
the American representative.

message received at the War Depart

delegation had postponed its departure
