FEARS GERMANS
WILL TRY AGAIN
FOR DOMINATION
Senate Committee Holds Pro
posed Pact With French
Is Constitutional
IN INTEREST OF THE L. S.
Should Allow France to Re-
cover Old-Time Strength
to Act as World Shield

Washington, Aug. 25. - While
Germany has been vanquished for
the present, nothing but force is
likely to restrain her from seeking
world domination at the earliest op-
portunity" in the opinion of the Sem
ate Judiciary Subcommittee ap-
pointed to report on the validity of
the proposed Treaty by which the
United States would go to the aid of
France in the event of an unpro-
Voked attack by Germany.
In holding that ratification of the
special defensive Treaty is within the
constitutional powers or the Treaty
making bodies of the American
Government, the subcommittee, in
it's report submitted to-day to the
full committee said it was for the
interest of the United States that
France SHOULD be allowed to recup-
crate and recruit her old-time vigor.
"She will then" said the report,
"be a great shield and protection
to us against the German menace in
the future
The report was written by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, in
collaboration with Senators Nelson
and Kellogg, both of Minnesota, and
Fall, of New Mexico, Republicans,
and Senator Overman, of North
Carolina, Democrat, constituting the
subcommittee.
1T will be seen," the report said,
that the covenant only aims at pro-
lection against Germany and that it
is of a temporary character to be
merged in and substituted by the
authority of the League of Nations
when that is established and put
into operation.
LAS the armistice covers the
ground between the end of the war
and the ratification of the Treaty of
Peace, so the Treaty in question aims
to cover the ground from the time
of the adoption of the Treaty until
the League of Nations, provided for
in the Treaty, can take its place. In
other words the Treaty in question
is of a temporary character to be
merged in the final Treaty of Peace.
such a Treaty is clearly war
ranted by international law and
usage and is therefore within the
scope of the Treaty making power
of the United States.

The War Expend-

Ths House Of Representatives
Tuesdsy, by unanimous vote, passed
the resolution recently introduced by
Representative Graham. Republican,
for Illinois, for the appointment of a
special committee of fifteen to in
quire into the conduct of te war.
Thus is inaugurated what will prob
ably be the greatest Congressional
investigation in history. Since the
committee is empowered by the res
olution to meet at such places as it
may deem advisable" it will have au-
thority to go abroad. and it is there
fore probably that foreign as well
as domestic operations and expendi-
lures will be covered. Unfortunately
a partisan coloring has been given to
the matter by the limitation OF the
membership of the committee to but
five Democrats as against ten Repub-
iicans. 1t is to be regretted that
congressman SO often forget. in their
zeal for victory for their own par
ticular party at the polls, that their
chief duty is not to play politics but
to look after the interests of the peo-
pie at large Of course what the
congressman Of each political faith
want is to win at the next presiden-
tial election, and it is legitimate
enough that they should have this in
mind, but the fact should not be
overlooked that what the people at
large want is to know the exact facts
in the matter which is about to be
nvestigated-wheth or not the war
expenditures have been wisely and
honestly made-to the end that the
guilty parties. if any, may be punish
ed, and action taken which will in

tion of the affairs of the government

tunate that, at he very outset, action
has been aiken in connection with the

public feel somewhat skeptical as to
the fairness of the investigation and
the value of the committees wrok.

Their mental process. to the very

In the business Of wage-earning the

these gross receipts whatever 1t costs
to keep the wage-earner going.
In business it Is well understood that
there are just two ways to increase
profits: either more money must come
