STAGED IN HOUSE TREATY DEBATE IS }
By WILLIAM GoRMLF

Montgomery, July 0.-(Speciai. .)-The peace treaty and the league of nations was discussed in the house of represen- tatives of Alabama on Thursday when an interesting debate was precipitated by opposition from Representative Faulk of Geneva county, who did not approve a resolution endorsing the document be- cause China was not given a fair deal' and because the conference in Paris did not set Ireland free" The debate, with only the Geneva representative on the opposition, started when the rules committee made a favorable report of the league of nation resolution of Brind- ley of Morgan county.
 The house had just completed the re- arrangement of committees for the pur- pose of providing places for Representa- tives Harris, Calvert and Jordan when the joint resolution indorsng the treaty came up. MT. Brindley, the author, asking for immediate passage and MT, Faulk with permission of the speaker, began his argument in opposition. MT. Speaker and gentlemen, oppose this resolution because it is premature, said the Geneva representative. This legislature does not understand the league of nations, I doubt if the members have read the document and the treaty of peace It is well for us to wait before voting for this measure"
 'I do not approve the peace treaty be- cause I do not like the treatment ac- corded China, and I believe that the treaty should contain a clause for the freedom of Ireland from the power of Great Britain
 He did not like the idea of giving the land of other countries away, and the whole treaty he did not approve.
 The argument of MT. Faulk was the signal for other discussions MT. Tomp- kins of Houston, one of the youngest rep resentatives in the legislature, said the league of nations was proposed to end wars and rumors of wars. We have tried wars for 2000 years,' he said, "ano have made little progress" He believed the league would cause the nations tc cease fighting.
 Representative Arnold of Jefferson county, speaking for the adoption of the league resolution, asked whether the Ala bama legislature should follow Faulk or President Wilson. There was laughter MT. Brindley, the author, was discuss ing the merits of his resolution when MT. Faulk asked permission to interrupt The permission was granted.
 Does the gentleman mean to say that this legislature should adopt the resolu- tion and support the treaty and league and President support it?" asked MT Faulk of MT. Brindley. MT. Brindley answered in the affirmative, giving other
 reasons also. MT. Faulk in the past has been found fighting against the mos important measures. At the beginning of the session in January he sought to abolish several state offices. farm work in his county, etc. He met with disaster on every hand.

he believed a two-third majority would be necessary to write any reservations Into the ratification resolution, but it was said afterward that he probably meant that the reservations, once a part of the resolution, would have the support or two-thirds of the senators to secure &C., ton when the ratification vote was taken STATEMENT MEETS DENIAL
 Among senate leaders the impression has been that only simple majority would be required to amend the ratifica- ton resolution. and the Presidents re- ported statement met sharp denial from opposition senators who cited a sen- ate rule providing that in considering treaties two-thirds majority shall be required for ratification, but only ma jority on all other motions and ques- tions involved.
 Regarding the proposed reservation under which the Senate would declare the nation could not enter war, under ar tIcle 10, without a war declaration by Congress, Mir. Wilson was reported to have declared such a stipulation unneces- sary. He was quoted as saying that the constitutional inability of the United States to make war without a congress sional declaration was one of the req sons why the league council was au- thorized only to advise" as to the steps to be taken.
 In all the Presidents visit to the capi- tol occupied less than two hours Arriv- ing shortly after noon, he went to his office adjoining the Senate chamber and at 1915 was escorted to the vice presi- dents desk by the five senior members of the foreign relations committee. The applause following his appearance had continued for two minutes, when Vice President Marshall rapped for order and the President began speaking.
 The address required 39 minutes and at its conclusion, while the Senate and gal leries stood and applauded, he was es- corted from the chamber by the specially designated foreign relations members. He left for the White House again at 45 ?. m.
 Mrs. Wilson and the Presidents daugh- ter, Miss Margaret Wilson, were in the gallery during the address. The French ambassador, Jules M. Jusserand, dean of the diplomatic corps, had the unusual privilege of a seat in the Presidents re- served section, and many other foreign diplomats were in the diplomatic gallery
 After the President finished speaking the Senate adjourned until Monday when the ratification debate will begin The foreign relations committee also wil meet Monday to begin consideration of the treaty.

 Speaking from the same platform where, IS months ago, he astounded< the world With his first declaration for league O. nations, the President read his address slowly and in clear, quiet voice. His manuscript, typewriter on small pages, he held in his left hand and with his right he punctuated his utterances with an occasional gesture. Before him one the vice presidents desk lay the treaty. brought by him in person from Yer sailes
 There was no attempt at oratory and no applause interrupted the address Nearly every senator was in his seat, and all listened attentivcly. Afterward his supporters were unstinted h their praise for the Presidents words, while those opposed either declined to comment or declared he had dealt only in unsatis- factory generalities.
 DISCUSSES IRISH QUESTION
 In his talks afterward with lei@,ue sup porters the President was said to nave discussed at length the Shantung a~a Irish questions. He was quoted as say ing he was not satisfied with the treaty provision giving Shantung to Japan. but as declaring there was an informal un- derstanding among the peace delegates that eventually Japan must make an ac- ceptable agreement with China in the matter. He was represented as expressing confidence that Japan would deal rightly in the final settlement.
 Discussing the failure of the peace con- ference to receive the representatives Of Irish-Amrican organizations on behalf Of Irish freedom, Mir. Wilson was said to have told senators that the representa- tives had so identified themselves with the revolutionary element in Ireland that it became impossible to receive them He was quoted as saying that both he and David Lloyd George, the British premier, had been anxious to arrange for a hear ing.
 The decision not to bind Germany to a definite indemnity, the President was re- ported to have said, was reached over his protest, He 4Swas quoted as saying he consented to the indeterminate plan to help Premier Lloyd George over domes- tic obstacles. It was said the question or Plume was not mentioned.
 In talking to the senators, the President was said to have. taken firm stand against any reservations in the Senate ratification of the treaty. It was asserted he would not be disposed kindly even to- ward interpretive reservations to make the Senate's position clear. pointing out that there always might be doubt as to whether any particular reservation really were innocuous or would vltlate some league principle.
 The President was also quoted as saying

 series of bills dealing with this subject have been prepared The sub ject Is dealt with to some extent in the revenue bill now pending in the house and others may be drawn up later. In all this mass of proposed leg islation the members of the legislature may be able to work out some system that will be fair and just both to the state and the men who are so unfor tunate as to be denounced as felons and sent to work in the mines for term of years.
 Whatever legislation Is enacted, if any is, 1t will not get on the statute books without hard fight The fi- nancial conditions of the state is such that the depletion of it's revenues by three quarters of million dollars will not be undertaken by the legislature without it at the same time sees some way of making this up in some other way.
