TREATY CHANGES
NEED TW0-TH|RD
Vote, IS CLAIM
Wilson's Address Lacks
Americanism, Declares
Harding.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-President
Wilson's conference with newspaper
correspondents before going to the
capitol Thursday disclosed the presi-
dents conviction that all amendments
or reservations to the treaty must
have a two-thirds vote of the senate
to make them binding.
1t was indicated that II the senators
who are opposing the treaty hold to
the view that only a majority vote is
necessary for reservations that Is their
misfortune.
Use Parliamentary Detail
The presidents expressed convic.
ton is that since the constitution spe-
CITES that two-thirds vote is neces-
sary to ratify, no part Of treaty can
be made valid by a mere majority
vote.
When the Republican leaders heard
of the declaration Of the president
they were not disturbed. They I'M
hesitatingly asserted that the presi-
dent was mistaken II he thought he
could win ratification without reser-
vations and ascribed his mistake to
his lack of knowledge OF parliament
tary detail.
"Hdt Woulu Hdppcu, IL was Sdlo ~
the Republican leaders, would be this:
Reservations would be offered and
would be adopted by a majority vote.
Democrats could not protest that vote
until an effort was made to have the
senate vote on the treaty with the
reservations, Their protest would be
voted down.
Vote To Be Forced
Then the situation would be that the
Democrats either would have to vote
for the ratification Of the treaty with
reservations or would have to let 1t
go unratifled.
Faced with that contingency, it was
thought, they would vote to ratify
The reservations thus would obtain
the two-thirds vote necessary and
would become an integral part Of the
treaty.
1t was inferred by correspondents
from what was stated at the White
House that the president would not
feel called to send to the allied powers
any senate additions to the treaty
which had not received the sanction
of two-thirds vote of the senate.

Mrs. John McRaven Of Alexander,
Ark, went back to the simple life
when the war started and now she
claims that it is the only thing and
she does not care to return to the
lecture platform, where she had been
very successful until the war created
a greater demand for food than for
Lyceum members. She cultivated the
land herself with the help of her
two young sons and her daughter.
~ found that despite the long hours
and hard work we all felt better and
we had more time for study and
reading together than we had in the
city," is Mrs. McRaven's claim.

Mexican Money Shows
Big Decrease In Value
(By Associated PressI

MEXICO CITY, July 11.-Newspa.
pers Of this city printed this morning
on their financial pages records of
foreign exchange transa ctions show
ing that drafts on New York were
bought at fifty or par at two to one,
for American dollars and sold at
495s, which is less than two to one
This, it was pointed out, is significant,
since during the last six months of
1918 the exchange rate lowered around
sixty, which meant that the Mexican
peso was worth 60 cents in United
States money. instead of about SO
cents, its present value.

FOOD CONTROL

meat distributing companies have
been organized by the packers to sell
the meats from their plants in the
United States, Argentina, Uruguay,
Paraguay, Brazil and Australia"
The big five. the report said, have
control of or interest in public utility
corporations in Sioux City, Kansas
City, St. Paul Portland, Ore. San
Francisco, ST Joseph, Mo, Hill City,
Mimi, Fort Worth, Texas, and Chi
cago.
AS to financial power the report
said in part:
The packer has drawn to a marked
degree upon the banks Of the country
for liquid funds. To assure himself
loans ample to his purpose, the big
packer has secured utilization through
stock ownership, representation on
directorates, and in other ways, with
numerous banks and trust companies.
Mr. Armour. MI Swift, Mr.. Morris
and Mr.. Wilson are directors in banks
affiliated closely with those who are
strong at the sources OF credit IN the
United States. Being thus allied with
powerful interests at the sources Of
credit, the packers power is great,
not only for financing their own nat
ional and international operations, but
for affecting for good or for i'll, the
credit of cattle producers and OF COM
petitors or customers in any line.
After reviewing the interest of the
packers in the leather, fertilizer, cot
tonseed oil, grain and breakfast food
industries. the report said: The rea'
son why the packers are seeking con
troll of the substitutes for meat-the
xryyf1 ARC
obvious. If the prices of substitutes
for meats are once brought under the
packer control. the consumer will have
little to gain in turning to them for
relief from excessive meat prices.
