Cup to this point, I have discussed
the possible defeat of the treaty by

That is the real program and hope of

that the treaty has been locked up in
cold storage for so many weeks. The
enemies of the league of nations in
the senate are not many compared to
its friends, but they control the com
mittee. They have felt justified in re-
tanning the treaty in the committee,
holding useless hearings and making
killing amendments with the full
knowledge that amendments would
beat the treaty Just as effectually as
refusal TO ratly.
"a few, a very few, senators have
declared that they would vote against
the treaty because of the league of
nations, but it has remained for the
senator from Pennsylvania (Mr |
Knox to declare boldly against our
participation in the treaty settlement.
"To say that he has amazed the

there are few men who favor desert
ing the cause of civilization. The vie
tory in the field has been rendered
permanent by peace settlement with
ample guarantees. In the senate arc
few senators who favor releasing Ger
many from all responsibility for the
war, few senators willing to sacrifice
the material interests OF the United
States which this treaty alone can pro-
tect."
In conclusion, what was without
doubt one Of the ablest speeches that
has been made in the senate for tAau
ratification of the treaty without
amendment, Senator Hitchcock said
Il cannot close without few words
on the league of nations feature of the
treaty, which has been so persistently
and unreasonably attacked in this
chamber. To most Of these attacks
have listened. They have varied
somewhat, but they all have one char
acteristic in common-a tremendous
exaggeration of possible disadvant-
ages to this country.
Those who conjure up these possi-
bic disadvantages seem to ignore alto
gether the enormous advantage of or
eanizing the world for peace. They
appear to have lost sight of the evils,
horrors, and danger of war while in
the contemplation of possible disad-
yantages under the league Of nations.
They make mountains out of mcfehills

clan. They are suspicious that while

A SHOCK TO

CHARACTERlZES SENATOR
KMOX'S ATTACK ON THE
PEACE TREATY
Amendment or Defeat Of the Treaty

citl Disaster for America" Says
Nebraska Senator

Washington, d. c., Sept 3.-(spe-
cial) )-Declaring that any amendment
to the treaty Of peace, good or bad,
reasonable or unreasonable, means
the defeat of the treaty with all its
disaftrous consequences, Senator
hitchcock of Nebraska made a powers
ful speech in the senate today urging
thst the treaty be ratified without de-
~ ana without amendment.
! Referring to the recent speech of
Senator McCumber, republican, of
North Dakota, who voted against the
! Shantung Amendment in the foreign
relations committee, Senator Hitch
cock said: "lIe has shown that the
proposed amendment instead OF help.
ing China deprives her of her benefit
OF tho promises and concessions the
United States has expected from IL
pan. He has shown that Japan is al.
ready in possession OF the German
tights, privileges, and lease holds. He
has also Hhown that Great Britain and
Franco are under pledge to Japan to
stand by her in her claim, and he
mas challenged the supporters Of the
proposed amendment to show how
China can possibly be benefited unless
when we reject Japan's promises We
propose to 80 to war with her to drive
Der out of Shantung for the benefit OF
China
Il think the senator from North Da-
kota conclusiyely demonstrated the
folly Of the proposed amendment as
far as it concerns China and the dan.
ger that it involves to the United
States"
Senator Hitchcock then explained
the inevitable results if the senate
should vote in favor Of the Shantung
amendment or any other. He said
that one Of two things would happen
either the president would refuse 10
go further with The treaty, or he
would have to submit the amendment
10 the nations associated with the
United States in the war
Does anyone believe" asked the
senator that the other nations would
accept the Shantung amendment?" He
pointed out that GrSt Britain has al
'ea@ly ratified the treaty and is under
'ledgo to Japan with reference to
that France is soon to rat
fly the treaty and is under the same
hedge to Japan.
Does anyone suppose that Japan !
erself would submit to such a humil-
alton before the eyes of the world?"

Albuquerque, N. M. Jan. 20.- The apportionment of the Nation al Forest share of federal aid road finds for the fiscal year 1920 has been made, according to informa- tiOn received by the District For ester here. The apportionment amounts to S54, 41O.OO for Arizo- na and S37, ,75O.OO for New Mex ico, for constructing roads within or partly within the National Forests of these tive states, un- der Section eight of the Bank head bill.
 District Forester Redington states that as all restrictions on the use of labor, material and government funds have been re- moved by the national highways council, road building will be pushed during this spring and summer.
 Several projects were approved for construction last year; but in view of the urgent need of labor and material for war purposes, the work was postponed until a later date. Among the projects that are of particular interest are the Tijeras Canyon road, the Pecos River road, which extends from Valley Ranch to Cowles, the Cimarron-Taos road, the Hondo- Mescalero road.

 extended an invitation to Presi-

The resolution was introduced by Mrs. Westover of Yuma, and was passed in the house without a dissenting voice after Representative Galbraith, republican of Glendale. had made an effort to amend the reference to the president as "the worlds greatest leader" to "our great leader" Galbraith stated that his purpose in offering the amend ment, was because the reference might be offensive to our allies. AS the resolution was on it's third the amendment was ruled out of order and the resolu- tion was unanimously passed.
