Mayor Discusses Fare Issue
THE Citizens Union makes it busi-
ness to crticise officials in public Of
flee, particularly Democrats. Youker.
one of their members, former Assem-
blyman from Brooklyn, voted last year
for bill which had for its purpose an
increase in fare. This same Citizens
Union Is in favor of an increased fare
for the traction interests of the city,
and is criticising my administration
because am opposed to the traction in
terests taking millions OF dollars out
of the pockets Of the people"
Leonard NJ. Wallstein, counsel to the
city government committee of the
Citizens Union, said that the Police
Commissioners statement sustantiated
the charge that the reins+atements
we're illegal, as the applications were
shown to have been made during the
present administration and in eigh-
teen cases we're outlawed He said
that the appointment of an "exeuctive
board to pass upon the application
was a simple method Of evading re-
sponslbility on the part of the Police
Department head and that the board"
had no standing in law.
IN replying to Commissioner En-
llght's statement that these men had
be Ell dismissed through an "arbitrarv
misuse of power" he said that of the
eighteen illegal reinstatements cited
by the Citizens Union, eleven had been
passed upon by the Appellate Division
OF the Supreme Court, which held. in
all but one case, that the dis
missals had been legal and justified by
the evidence

able records made under cover of a
policy which suppresses 50 far as pos

Points to Fact Japan En-

NeW York Tribune

NeW York Tribune
Washington Bureau
George w. Norris, of Nebraska, in the
course Of a speech which he delivered
to-day in the Senate in support of the
Shantung amendment to the peace
treaty, read the text Of telegram
which President Wilson sent to him
on September IL, admitting that the
President had committed All "uninten-
tional inaccuracy" while discussing the
Shantung provision Of the treaty. The
Presidents telegram to Senator Norris
follows:
Garrison, Mont, Sept. 12
Il thank you for correcting an un-
intentional inaccuracy in one Of my
recent speeches..
"W0oDROW WILSON,"
That President Wilson had admitted
his error thus to Senator Norris but
had made no public statement of it, as
demanded by Mr.. Norris, was printed
exclusively in The Tribune on Septem-
Der 21, but to-day was the first time
the text of the Presidents telegram
was disclosed.
Norris Points Out Error
In his speech to-day on the Shantung
amendment Mr.. Norris said it's adop-
tion would give to China what belongs
to China and would relieve the treaty
of one of its most Objectionable feat
ures." He devoted much attention to
the statement made by President Will
son, in his st. Louis speech, to the ef-
feet that the secret treaties made with
Japan by Great Britain, France, Italy
and Russia were necessary to induce
Japan to enter the war on the side Of
the Allies.
The Senator declared that this state
ment by the President was untrue, for
the reason that Japan declared war
against Germany on August 23, 1914,
very short time after the war began,
and at that time no agreements of any
kind had been made by Japan with any
of the other governments.
Senator Norris called attention to
the fact that after this statement was
made by the President he sent a tele-
gram to the President, relating the
facts and uggesting that the Presi-
dent make a public correction.
"The Presidon. up to the present
time" he said, "hns made no public
statement. although he did send me
the telegram.
Questions Wilson'S Fairness
l waited until the Presidents trip
was completed before | made public
his telegram, IN which he admitted
that his statement was what he calls
an 'unintentional inaccuracy,' said
Mr.. Norris. "The President has never
publicly admitted that his statement
was untrue. 1t seems to me if the
President wanted to be fair with the
American people, with the Senate and
with the world he would at least have
been careful to give as great publicity
20 the correction as he did to the origi-
nal rnlsStatcment.
'The secret agreement with Japan
was made September II, 1917. There
never was any negotiation on the part
of Japan and the other parties to the
secret agreement until February, 1917.
The war had been going on since Au-
gust, 1914, and Japan had been in it
practically all that time. The Presi-
dent said the secret agreement was for
the purpose of getting Japan to clear
New-York tribune., 1919-10-11
.Johnson's Amendment to
> Treaty Has 2 Majority

Mr.. Taft's reservation on this point
is a double -barreled affair. aiming to
prevent inequality of voting both in
the council and in the assembly. 1t
provides that the United States would
not be bound by any vote of the council
IN which any nation or empire cast
more than one vote.
Regarded as Reputation
This is regarded as direct repu-
diation of the spirit of the letter signed
by President Wilson, Lloyd George and
Clemenceau to the Canadian peace
mission. giving assurance that there
was no reason why Canada or any other
British dominion might not be selected
at any time as one of the four membe RS
of the council in addition to the five
permanent members.
The second part of the Taft reser-
vation is in line with the Lenroot
amendment, providing that the United
States shall not be bound by any de-
cision of the league assembly in which
any nation or empire casts more than
one vote.
For some time it has been thought
that the Johnson amendment depended
on TWO Senators. Shields, OF Tennessee.
Democrat. and Kellogg. of Minnesota,
Republican. Both are now counted con-
fdently for the amendment. Mr..
Shields, it was declared. having told
colleague to-day that he would vote
for it. Senator Shields declines to be
quoted.
Senator Spencer Pleased
Senator Spencer. of Missouri. who
has been classed as a mild reserva-
ZIONIST" expressed pleasure to-day at
the resolutions adopted by the Missouri
Republican State Committee, which
asked him to support the entire pro-
gramme of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. including reservations and
amendments.
Renewing their request for an agree
mcnr to take up the Shantung amend
ment Wednes day, and meantime to
pass it over and proceed with the
reading of the treaty whenever no
one is ready to speak, Senators Lodgs
and Hitchcock, leaders of the two
sides, were successful to- day, no OBJ
lection being made. The effect of this
is to remove any incentive for fill
clustering to prevent a vote until Sena-
tor Hiram Johnson gets back, and also
to insure that there will be no vote
until the committee investigating the
steel strike returns from the Pitts
burgh district.
With a view to fastening considera-
tion of the treaty, it was decided to
meet at II o'clock each morning in
stead of at noon.

the Pacific of the German fleet. Yet
at the time that agreement was made
there were 10 German ships Of any
kind in the Pacific except those in
termed. That ocean was as. free of
German ships of all kinds at the time
that agreement was made as the po-
tomac River at the foot of Seventh
Street is"
An Anglo-Japanese Bargain
Senator Norris reviewed the history
of the negotiations with Japan for the
delivery of Shantung He read the
note sent by the British Ambassador
at Toxic on February 26, 1917, to Wis
count Ishii, Japan's Minister for For
eign Affairs, transmitting a message
from the British government. In this
it was stated that Britain "accedes
with pleasure to Japans request that
they will support Japan's claim for the
German possessions in Shantunc and
Of the German islands north Of the
equator it being understood that in re-
turn the Japanese government will
support with the same spirit the Brit
ish governments claim to the German
islands south of the equator"
Senator Norris continued:
"Now, remember, this was just be-
fore we went into the war Following
the agreement with Great Britain, the
same kind of agreement was made with
France, italy and Russia Russia being
still in the war on the side of the AL
lies. The President says he knew moth
ing about the secret treaties until they
gathered around the peace table. I
am assuming, for the purpose of the
argument, that that is the truth.
"Thesc agreements were made at a
time when it was known that the
United States was going to enter the
war, and it was also pretty generally
known that after we entered the war
China would follow us in. 1t was also
known that China had desired for a
long time to enter the war, but had
been prevented from doing so by Japan.
SO Japan made these agreements to
seal China's fate before she entered
the war.
at is said in eXtenuaton of this pro-
vision in the treaty that Japan will
will do no good for China by refusing
TO sign. Suppose that were true. what
does it amount to? Regardless of
what may happen, let Us keep our
hands free from being stained with
the innocent blood of one of our allies.
If Japan will rob China, anyway, We
can at least say we don't approve it.
"The President has said this amend
ment would make it necessary for us
to 60 to war to help China get Shan
tunr. Nothing could be further from
the truth than that statement. SO far
as know, nobody has suggested such
q thing nor advocated it. But even if
we don't go to war, there is no reason
why we should give our consent 10
such a robbery.
Better No Treaty at All
"Then it IS SAID, if We don't agree
to it, we viii have no treaty. If that
be true, it would be better to have no
treaty at all than for tho United States
to be a party to such a crime against
friendly people"
Senator Norris said peace built on
such foundation could not be per
mancnt, and that league obtained on
the basis Of dishonest agreements could
not last

Accuses Newspapers, Too

"In the face of these facts, the Citi-
papers in this city have for some time
been carrying on a propaganda in dcs-
perate effort to destroy confidence in
this department and break down the

much depleted force, the department is
