GERMAN DELEGATIONS
LEAGUE PLAN REJECTED
BY ALLIED COMMITTEE
Reply 10 Ratzau Says One Adopted
Is More Practicable Than Pro-
posed Substitute.

PARIS. May q, Omitted Press).-The
committee appointed to consider the
German proposals regarding the League
Of Nations has replied that 1t considers
the present covenant more practicable
than the German plan. although adding
that some OF the Germans suggestions
can be considered when the league Is
fnally organized.
Regarding the proposed international
mediation office. the committee said that
no such body would have the authority
necessary toI settle disputes. The Allied
reply expressed sympathy with the idea
OF a system OF impartial Cancellation
commissions, but pointed out that the
covenant does not prevent this. Pro-
posals regarding composition and pro-
cedure OF the permanent international
court will be submitted to the league
council.
The committee said, in regard to
obligatory arbitration. that its universal
applicability was impracticable.
I'VE are glad to note the German
government favors disarmament" the
reply concluded.
A decision was reached yesterday to
withhold action In the armed disputes
between the Poles and Ukrainians over
territorial matters until Premier Pade-
rewskrs arrival. expected tomorrow
or Sunday.
Charles r. Crane. after a consulta-
tion with the American commission
yesterday was ordered to the Near
East to investigate the entire manda-
tory problem in Constantinope, Syria
and other territories.

soreat stress is laid on the proposal
that on the eastern side Germany
shan be deprived OF the regions spe-
ciniiy devoted TO the production OF
whset and potatoes. This Is true- But
the German note fails altogether to
ohnsrve tat there IL nothing In the
paaos treaty TO prevent either the
continued production OF those COM
modities In the areas in question, or
their Importation into Germany. On
the contrary, the free admission OF
these products Of the eastern districts
is provided for during a period OF
three years. Moreover. II h fortunate
for Germany that those regions have
losa none Of their productivity owing
to the ravages OF war. They have
escaped the shocking fate which was
dealt out by the German armies to
the corresponding territories in Bel
Rium and France on the west, and
Poland, Russia, Roumania and Ser

no reason why their produce should

ABOUT COAL SITUATION.
The German note makes special
complaint Of the deprivation OF coal,
and asserts that nearly one-third OF
the production OF the existing coal
mines will be lost. But II omits to

consumption Of German coal was In

JOHNSON OPENS
FIGHT IN SENATE
FOR FULL TREATY
Says Reason for Holding II
Back Is There Is Some
thing to Conceal.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
johnson. Republican, Of California,
called up for consideration in the
Senate to-day. his resolution asking
the State Department 10 furnish the
Senate the complete text OF the
Peace Treaty.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, OF Mon
tana, interjected that publication OF
the Treaty might be deferred by an
agreement made at Paris.
"I do not know. do not care
Senator Johnson replied. IF there
was an agreement It was violated
when a synopsis was given out. The
only reason on earth for not giving
out the text is that you've something
to conceal"
Speaking IN support Of his resolu-
don, Senator johnson declared It
should be "obvious and axiomato'
that tho American Senate and people
were entitled to full Information
about so important matter He
pointed out that portions Of tho treaty
had been published IN Germany and
that newspapers in some instances
had published portions of the text.
Senator Hitchcock replied to SEN
ator johnson, urging that tho resolu-
ton be referred TO the committee. Mr..
Hitchcock also argued that the reso-
lution violated procedure BY calling
upon the State Department instead Of
the President for the text.
Discussing the Presidents consti-
tutional power to negotiate treaties
Senator Hitchcock said the Senate
never in one hundred years had asked
for a treaty before II was completed.
The President has the power to
tear It TO pieces said Mr.. Hitch
cock, referring to the present treaty
''and never send It to tho Senate.
Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, replying TO
Senator Hitchcock, declared there
could be no improperly in asking for
the text OF the Treaty, which he sald
was now being read by every Ger
man storekeeper"
Senator Sherman of Illinois intro
duced a resolution providing for the
separation OF a covenant for the
League OF Nations from the Peace
Treaty and made an argument II
favor OF its adoption.
National sovereignty would disap-
near under the league, the Illinois
Senator declared, and liberties won In
centuries Of struggle would be los'
forever. Doomed with 'the curse oil
broken faith and shameless perfidS
from its inception and birth" tho
league, he predicted would become
"a gigantic firebrand for a world con-
hagration."
He charged President Wilson hat
broken faith with China, Poland anc
Italy; had yielded 10 Great
Britain" had endeavored TO subver'
the fundamental laws OF the repub'
llc," and had promised to embark the
United States on policies that woulC
require her to send a million soldieri
abroad.
Notice was given to-day that Sena
tors Reed, Missouri; and Robinson
Arkansas. both Democrats, woul'
speak on the subject next Monday
senator Reed is expected to oppos'
the League plan and Senator Robin
son to support II.

WALLS ABOUT THE LOSS OF
COAL MINES

THE treaty provides for the loss OF
almost a third Of the production OF
our coal mines, Apart from this de-
crease we are forced for ten years to
deliver enormous consignments Of coal
10 various allied countries.
After this diminution OF her prod
ucts, after the economic depression
caused by the loss OF her colonies, OF
her merchant fleet, and of her pos
sessions abroad, Germany would not
be in a state to import from abroad
a SuAicient quantity OF raw material.

CLAIMS WHICH RANTZAU MADE
FOR MODERATION OF TERMS

Tho text OF the note from Count
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, to which
tho above was a reply, was made
public to-day. Rantzau forwarded
the report OF the economic commits
sion charged with the study of the
effect OF the conditions of peace on
the situation OF the German popula-
tion. It contains the argument al
ready made public that Germany has
been transformed into an Industrial
state and could not feed Its $1,000, ,ooO
inhabitants.
According TO the conditions Of the
Treaty OF Peace" the German report
says, Germany will surrender her
merchant tonnage and ships in
course OF construction suitable for
overseas trade. German shipbuilding
yards will build for Ave years In the
first instance tonnage destined for
tho Allied and associated Govern
ments. Germany will. moreover, re-
nounce her colonies. all her overseas
possessions, all her interests and Sc
curities in the Allied and associated
countries and in their colonies, domi-
Mons and protectorates, WIN. as an
instaiment OF the payment for part OF
the reparation, be subject to liquida-
tion, and may be exposed 20 any
other economic war measure which
tho Allied and Associated Powers
think fit - maintain or to take dur
ing the years Of peace.
by the putting into force OF the
territorial clauses OF the Treaty OF
Peace Germany would lose. to the
East, the most important regions for
the production OF corn and potatoes
which would be equivalent to the
loss OF 2l per cent. OF the total croT
OF those articles OF food.

their lives in consequence OF the
blockade.
Against the war losses Of Ger
many might very fairly be placed
the far greater losses which her
initiative and conduct Of the war
have inflicted upon the allied
countries and which have left an
ineHseeabls mark upon the man
hood Of Europe.
"on the other hand. the figures and
the losses alleged 70 have been caused
by the blockade are purely hypotheti-
cal The German estimate Of future
losses could be accepted only II the
premises upon which II is presumed
to rest are accepted also.
But they are entirely fallacious.
There Is not the slightest reason to
believe that a population is destined
to be permanently disabled because II
win bo called upon in future TO
trade across it's frontiers instead OF
producing what II requires from
within. A country can both become
and continue to be a great manufac-
turing country without producing the
raw materials Of its main industries.
Such is tho case. for instance. with
Great Britain. which imports at least
one-half OF her food supplies and the
great preponderance OF her raw ma
terials from abroad.
There is no reason whatever why
Germany. under the now conditions,
should not build up for herself a posi-
tion both OF stability and prosperity
In the European world. Her terri
tories have suffered loss than those OF
any other continental bellIgerent
state during the war. Indeed. 30 far
as pillage or devastation Is concerned
they have not suffered at all
Tho German reply also ignores
the immense relief that win be
caused 10 her people in the struggle
for recovery by the enforced reduc-
ton OF her military armaments in
future. Hundreds OF thousands OF
her Inhabitants. who have hitherto
been engaged either in training for
armies or In producing instruments
OF destruction. will henceforward he
available for peaceful avocauons and
for increasing the industrial pro-
ducuveness OF tho nation. No result
should be more satisfactory to the
German people.
"but the first condition Of any
such reeupsration would appear
TO be that Germany should ree-
osnixs the faots Of the present
state Of the world which shs has
been mainly instrumental in
creating, and realize that she
cannot escape unsoathed. The
share which she 10 being called
upon to bear Of the enormous
calamity that has befaiIen the
world has been apportioned by
tho victorious powers, not to her
desserts, but solely TO her ability
20 bear il.
"Au the nations OF Europe are suf-
fering from losses and are bearing
and will continue TO bear burdens
which are almost more than they can
carry. These burdens and losses have
been forced upon them by the ag-
erosion OF Germany. II Ia right that
Germany. which is responsible for the
origin OF these calamities, should
make them good TO the utmost OF her
capacity. Her hardship will arise not
from the conditions OF peace. but from
the acts OF those who provoked and
prolonged the war. Those who were
responsible for the war cannot escape
Its Just consequences"
