London, April 1.-THE allied repre-
ssntat1vss in Paris have arrived at
eompiete understanding on the great
fundamental questions that would ef-
sset peace with Germany. Premier
Beorge declared in addressing the
House of Commons. The allies had
formulated their demands and he
aoped that they would be presented
shortly. The premier declared, how
ever. that the situation WAS still full
IF perls for all countries He plead
ed that those who were trying to do
their best be let alone
No conference in history, said the
premier, had been faced with prob
lens of such variety. compiexity,
magnitude and gravity. The congress
Of Vienna. which was the nearest ap-
proach to 1t, took eleven months for
its work. but that congress. Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out, sank into insig-
uifIcance as compared with what had
been settled by this conference.
The time spent by the peace con-
ference In framing the League Of Ma
tions plan saved time instead Of vast
ing 1t, Mr. Lloyd George declared, as
adjustment of possible errors.
Il would rather leave Russia Boil
shevist until they see their way out
Of 1t rather than see Great Britain
landed in bankruptcy" was one Of the
premier's declarations.
''It is not true that the United
States and Europe have been at vari-
ance," the premier declared He depre-
Gated attempts to sow dissensiOn
among the delegates.
After referring to the worldwide
extent of the war, the premier said
that new states had sprung into ex-
istence, some Of them independent,
some semi-independent and some that
might be protectorates, and although
their boundaries might not be defined.
some indication of them must be
given.
The premier made a vigorous at
tack upon those who had attempted
to SOW dissension, distrust and sus-
picion" between the nations whose
"cordiality and good will toward each
other was essential" He could not
conceive Of a worse crime, he de-
clared., at a time when nothing could
save the world but keeping the ma
tions together.
The delegates, said Mr. Lloyd
George, had never forgotten what
France had gone through, and they
had not forgotten to what she was
entitled, not merely security against a
repetition OF German attack, but to
feel sense of security against 1t.
The conference had come to a
unanimous conclusion on all the ques-
tons before it, including decision
that to publish the peace terms before
they were discussed with the enemy
would be fIrst-class blunder Their
premature publication, he contended,
could only serve to encourage the re-
sistance of the enemy.
Mr.. Lloyd George denied that he
was trying to escape the declarations
he made during the general election
campaign. The declaration regarding
making Germany pay, he declared,
had been concurred In by all the party
leaders.

COLOMBIAN TREATY
FINALLY REPORTED
Senate to Break Custom and
Debate 1t Publicly
Monday.
PROBABLY WILL RATIFY
Carries $25, 900, 900, but Omits
Expression Of Regret by
United States.

WASHINGTON, July 2e.-The long pend
ing treaty between the United States
and Colombia, settling differences aris-
ing from the creation Of the Republic
Of Panama and the construction OF the
Panama Canal. was reported to the Sem
ate for ratification to-day by the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The treaty will be discussed next Mon-
day in open session OF the Senate, break
ing the century old custom of holding
hearings on treaties in executive session.
The treaty will not be ratified without
opposition. There are some vigorous op-
ponents despite the fact that the COM
mittee cut out the opening article, in
which the United States expressed "in
It's own name and In the name OF the
people of the United Statese sincere re-
gret that anything should have occurred
to interrupt or mar the relations" but
that It will be ratified is not questioned
seriously.
The right to transport troops, ma
terials and ships Of war through the
canal without charge Is given TO Colon
bia. but the qualifying phrase "even In
case of war between Colombia and an
other country" is cut out.
Colombian products and mails shall
be transported without any charges or
duties other than imposed on products
and mails Of the United States and Co
lombian products shall be admitted &c
the Canal Zone without paying otheI
| duties or charges than those paid by
| similar products of the United States

Zone exempt from every toll duty or ia,

consumption. IN case canal trafic Is In
terrupted shall be moved by the Panama
railway at actual cost of transportation
which shall not exceed half the regular
rate on such products of the United
States.
The United States is to pay Colombia
s25,000.000. the first s5,000,000 within
six months OF ratification Of the treaty,
the rest in four equal payments. This
provision was opposed by two of the
committee, Senator Harding (ohio). who
moved to reduce the amount to SIS. .000.-
900, and was supported by Mr.. McCum-
Der IN. d.. The vote was IL to
against the amendment A committee
member explained later that II seemed to
be the purpose 80 long as we we're
salving em to salve 'em good"
The treaty emphasizes tho substantial
protectorate of the United States over
Panama in various provisions. II states
that Colombia recognizes the indepen-
dence of Panama and states the bounda =
ries that are to be fixed. These are
based chiefly on an old Colombia law of
1855. In consideration of this recog-
milton the United States undertakes to
have Panama send an agent to nego-
tiste a treaty of peace and friendship
with Colombia, adjusting all questions
between them and establishing regular
diplomatic relations.
Originally the treaty was submitted to
the Senate June 16, 1914. by President
Wilson, and was before the Foreign Re-
lations Committee a long time. Ulti-
mately II became apparent that 1t could
not be ratified in the form 1t then pre-
sented, there being objection especially ia
the $25, ,000, 900 and still more to the
apology for the events which led to the
establishment of the Republic of Pan
ANA, so II was withdrawn by the state
Department and recently resubmitted
with some changes.
In its present form It does not con-
tain any provision to insure against the
possibility that the Atrato Canal route
from Atlantic to Pacific shall be the
subject Of a primary interest vested In
the United States, The Atrato. route
was at one time regarded as possible
alternative to the present canal route
1t would require the canalization OF the
Atrato River, which empties into thu
Pacific, and the construction Of an arti'
hcial waterway connecting It's upper wa
ters with the Caribbean Sea-

night were organizing a citizens traffic
squad and said the traffic situation
would be in hand tomorrow.
