oateu-unleSS Germany can show ac-
tual fraud. Is anyone insane enough
to suppose that Germany will volun-
tarily make that concessio nto MS if
we lose the hold upon her which this
treaty gives? Suppose Germany
points to the treaties of 1899 and 1928
under which we agree to respect the
private property of German nationals
in The United States.
This treaty creates commission
called the reparations commission.
unquostionably it will be the most
powerful international body ever Gre
atcd. 1t receives from Germany all
reparations paid and distributes them
to the various nations. Does anyone
thlnk under the circumstances the
United States can afford not to have
a representative on the reparations
commission?
"To ny mind it would be suicidal
to throw away tch advantages and
benefits provided in this treaty. II

and financially.
Defeat of tho treaty by means Of
proposed amendments to it is the real
PROGRAM and hope of the majority of
the committee on foreign relations. It
is for this urpOse that the treaty has
been locked up in cold storage for so
many weeks. They have felt justified
in retaining the treaty in committee,
holding useless hearings and making
killing amendments with the full
knowledge that amendments would
beat the treaty just as effectively as
"a refusal to ratify.
"a few, very few, have declared
they would vote against the treaty be-
cause Of the league Of nations, but it
has rmained for Senator Knox to de-
clare boldly against our participation

it mildly. He has shocked the coun-
