Canadian, Commons
accepts Peace Treaty
Without Amendment

OTTAWA, Sept. 12-The House Of
Commons assented without reservation
to-day to the treaty of peace with Ger
many. Both houses Of Parliament now
have ratified the treaty and notification
to this effect was forwarded immedi-
ately to the British government.
When approval of all the overseas
parliaments has been received Great
Britain will deposit formal ratification
at Paris.
The Canadian House adopted the
government motion to approve the
treaty after a four days debate. There
was only one amendment. 1t came
from W. S. Fielding, former Minister
of Finance in the Laurier government,
who sought to modify the government
motion by adding that, in giving ap-
proval the House "in no way assents
to any impairment of the existing
autonomous authority Of the Dominion
but declares that the question of what
part, if any, the forces of Canada shall
take in any war, actual or threatened,
is one to be determined at all times as
occasion may require by the people of
Canada through their representatives
in Parliament"
The amendment was defeated by lO2
votes to 70 and there was no further
division

Vast Throng Cheers John
son l8 Minutes When
He Appears to Answer
Arguments of Wilson

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 12.-When Senator
Hiram w. Johnson, of California,
stepped on the stage of the Coliseum
tonight TO plead for the defeat of the
league Of nations covenant in its pres
ent form he was given an ovation that
lasted eighteen minutes. The Coliseum
is the largest hall in the city and il
was packed to the doors. Hundreds
were turned away unable to find stand
ing room.
AS soon as Senator Johnson made his
appearance the crowd rose to it's feet
waved flags and cheered Finally the
band ended the unusual demonstration
by playing "The Star-Spangled Ban
ner,' the large audience joining in
singing the song.
Senator Johnson brought the crowd
to its feet cheering when he declared:
The real question in this controversy =
is whether we are to do our duty as we
sec it in the future or whether we are
to be subject TO the will ofsGreat Brit
ain and Japan"
The crowd hissed several times when
Great Britain was mentioned by the
speaker. and there we're Kisses when
