Falls Amendments
icentinusd from Page ons)

Of North Dakota, . Republican mem
Der of the committee. who pleaded
against amendment of the treaty and
concluded by declaring that no harm
could come Of Americas doing ito
full duty to the very end" The
demonstration was quickly hushed by
vigorous use Of the tavel.
There were only four roll calls. all
the other amendments being voted down
by reclamation. The FIRST record vote
stood 50 to a. against an amendment to
eliminate the United States from rep
rAssntAtion on the commission to adj
Just the German Belgian boundary. The
Senate went on record 81 to IS against
withdrawing from the Saar basin COM
mission, % to So against refusing to be
q party to the agreements Affecting
Cxecho.solvakia, and 81 to 4s against
precluding this country from the upper
siles,a settlement.
On the saar basin amendment Sena>
tors Jones. Republican. Washington.

changed to the negative column. There
were no other changes except as re-
suit Of absence of some senator's Sem
ator Thomas Again voted in the nesa-
tive on tn, Czecho-Elovak amendment,
and on the Upper Siiesian amendment
Senator's Cummins. iowa. Jones. WASH
ington, Kenyon, Iowa. Sterling. South
Dakota, and Townsend, Michigan,
swung to the negative side.
The debate developed considerable
bitterness; Chairman Lodge of the for~
eien relations commission drawing fire
from the treaty advocates with a speech
supporting the general, purpose OF the
Fall amendments. While the world
touIl not doubt Americas willingness
to come to the aid of civilization when
ever it was threatened. he said. 1t was
not necessary to take part in every
boundary dispute" Of Europe.
The Monroe Doctrine, declared the
committee chairman. would be enforced
to prevent the European nations from
interfering with boundaries in this hem
ispf,ere, and it was because the United
States had not followed that same rule
iii Europe that the nation now was
"distincted and distrusted.'
To this Senators McCumber. Pomer-
enc, Ohio, williams. Mississippi. and
Fletcher, Florida. replied, all OF tnem
quoting previous declarations OF Sena-
tor Lodge and declaring that he faced
about after the peace treaty was ne
sotiated. In his speech in the senate
last December. they asserted, he spe-
cinca'ly argued for protection for Po-
land and other small nations which he
now wanted to desert"
Referring to Senator Lodges state
ment that the United States could be
depended on as the friend Of civiliza-
ticn, Senator Williams said the foreign
relations chairman had an opportunity
in the present situation to make gooi
his words, but that instead he was try
ing "to stand from Under"
Senator Fletcher quoted declaration
made by Mr.. lodge last December that
the United States was 'bourd by honor
and self respect to see that the terms
of peace are carried out"
