Over Prsoaution

The attention of congress was called on Friday to the existence of another versailles treaty. which had been so aunopenIy arrived at" that this country shad not heard of it. though it has been printed and distributed in Great Britain and other countries for which it has been proposed the edification of the people. It is an lair convention perhaps agree sment to which no reasonable objection may be of sfered but stil so far Americans are concerned secret treaty.
 The Saturday Evening Post has been and still is an earnest supporter of the League of Nations. It has urged the ratification of the covenant without amendment because it believes amendment to be unnecessary But in the current number of the Post the belief is stated that either the special treaty be- tween France and the United States and the Angc- French treaty are unnecessary else the League of Nations will not be what it's advocates are claiming For it.
 The fact says the Post that the representatives f the three great powers agreeing this eonven- ion have believed these special treaties to be desir sble must be disturbing to Italy. Belgium and the other countries which been left out of them and t must be interpreted that the United States Great Britain and France dstrus the efficacy of the League 4 Nations. The Post regards the existence of these Special treaties the strongest weapon in the hands f the opponents Of the League of Nations.

Paris-France loses about 40 per cent on every payment it has to make to Britain and America. It has Suffered very materially through America ging dry Its wine exports to that country are prohibited, and this means a loss of something like 30 million pounds (150 million dollars) a year. There is a strong feeling here that America should do something for France, which finds itself in a position of not being able to export, because it cannot manufacture One-third Of it's factories are destroyed, and one third undergoing transformation from war to other work. And even if it could produce it has to meet the further handicap of freights. which
