'"The Japanese control the miltorist
government In the north OF China, which
is constantly fighting the Republican
government In the south They have
lent money TO the northern government
on the security OF mines, railroads and
all manner Of national resources until
they are fast fixing their hold on all OF
these.
Tho resignation of Ambassador
Reinsch, who was q scholar and an
Oriental expert rather than a politician,
is regarded as a calamity all over the

The committee held only a brief ex-
ecutive session to-day. There was some
talk about the amendment by Senator
johnson (CaL) to give the United States
equal representation in the League OF
Nations with the British Empire. Sen
ator Fall IN. M brought UP his amend
ment to withdraw the United States
from participation in the labor league OF
the world. which the treaty seeks to set
UP. No action was taken on either
pI opositicn.
Fall Amendments Completed.
Mr.. Fall completed the draft of his
amendments to exclude the United States
from participation in the various COM
missions on European matters, which
the treaty establishes. OF these the
most important II that relating to the
part this country will take in the repa-
ration commission. There has been strong
objection to this country Withholding
from participation in that body and Mr.
protecting this country's interests while
at the same time seeking to keep 1t out
| Of purely European entanglements.
So he has drafted his amendment ir
such q manner as to leave the United
| States a delegate on the commission
But this delegate shall have no vote II
the proceedings Of the commission ex
| cept concerning a matter wherein such
delegate is specifically instructed by the
| United States to take part in proceed
ings of the commission and to cast ant
record the vote of the United State,
thereupon: but shall always have suci
right when Annex of the reparatio,
clauses or any section thereof is undel
consideration"
This means that the American dele
gate will have no vote except when di
| rected by his Government to take part
But an exception TO this Is made. HI
shall always participate when matters
regarding shipping are under considera
ton.
A proposal has been discussed to-da,
as to Shantung, which the reservation
lists look upon as a possible compromise
without necessitating an amendment
It Is to write into the ratification resolu
| ton a specific statement that thu
| United States refuses to ratify Articles
| 1856, 1877 and 16S-the articles making
this settlement-and withholds its as
sent from them. Whether this would b.
equivalent to an amendment strikini
item out 10 tho subject of some discus
sion.
Senator Knox (Pa) will speak to
morrow. He has carefully prepared hi
| address, and IL IN known to be one o
the most important delivered at any tim
during the entire discussion. That !
will have a profound effect on the sub
sequent consideration OF the treaty I!
