tions for the custom service. On No

revised estimates. I ask this as a
measure of common Justice to that

custom service who are at the present
time receiving a compensation made
quate to support themselves and
their families. and who in many in
stances are compelled to seek outside
employment during the evening hours

aspect Of the question is that the
government IL constantly losing the
services of tho younger and more pro-
gressive men by reason Of the made
Quacy OF their compensation. If the
government IL to retain the most eff

bring their salaries to closer rela-

SURE SENATE WILL
RAT|FY Covenant
Mr.. Hitchcock Also Confident
League Will Remain Part
of Treaty.

Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska,
ranking democrat Of the Senate for
| eign relations committee, predicted
in q statement today that the Senate
would ratify the covenant Of the
| league Of nations and that the neces-
sary majority vote to amend 1t or
| separate 1t from the peace treaty
would not be obtained.
Senator. Hitchcock has been! the
ton Throughout the long Senate con-
troversy over the league OF nations
and his statement generally was re.
garded as Q reply to that issued last
onh Leaders az Mho said ne league as
nant was not acceptable to majority
Of the Senate.
Sees Divided Forces
'The supporters Of the peacs treaty
in the Senate are confronted by d.
| vided forces" said Senator Hitch
| cock. First. there are those who
would like to eliminate that article Of
the treaty which establishes the
league Of nations because they. are
| lions under any circumstance. Sec
ond, there are those who profess to
support the league of nations. but In
sist on amending some Of the provi-
sions to meet their own particular
views.
"Either Of these plans to succeed
| must receive tho support OF major
| ity Of the Senate. In other words.
the opponents Of ratification can beat
the treaty by securing one-third Of
tho votes of the Senate to reject the
treaty, but in order to amend it they
must secure a majority Of the votes
Of the Senate.
Need Majority for Change.
TT would require a majority Of
league Of nations article Just as 1t
would require a majority to change
any part Of the league of nations. I
do not believe a majority can be mus
| tered for that purpose. It must be
evident to everybody that while the
amended treaty is a new treaty
| whether It strikes out the league of
nations provision or whether it
amends the league of nations pro-
vision. It could not possibly go into
effect until all Of the nations party
to the treaty accepted the amend
ment.
III one refused to accept it that

peace Impossible. For all to accept
any Senate amendments. even II It
were possible, would require q long
" delay the advent Of peace. I can
not conceive it possible that g. major
| ity of senators will be able to unite

keepers and hotel men still turn their
faces toward Washington in the hope
that some 11th-hour action may halt
the wartime prohibition law.
Meantime, preparations are going
forward for a celebration Monday 10
mark the closing of licensed drinking
places.
The supply in Wisconsin is dwin-
ding through boarding by consum-
ers. dealers say. This combined with
lack of importation, has kept prices
up and no bargain sales on the last
day are anticipated here.
No extensive changes are planned
by hotel owners, pending possible
action on the wartime prohibition
law. Many of the hotel bars will
open up as usual Tuesday morning,
but will sell soft drinks only.
Soda fountains are being placed
in candy stores. cigar stores, florist
shops and Office buildings so rapidly
supply houses can't meet demands.
W. II. Austin, counsel for the Wis
consin Brewers association. said no
beer had been brewed by Milwaukee
breweries since December, and that
there would be no violation OF the
law.
When the president declares de-
mobilization complete, the breweries
may return TO business, as the July
1 law then will be ineffective" he
said. He added, however, that this
would only be until January when
the constitutional amendment be-
comes effective
