SENATORS ARQ|E
OVER SHAIlU UNG
Vote Expected Owe Amend
ment to Treaty O sace,
by Both -
Sides.
WOULD ALTER TREATY
Administration Leaders Think no
Amendment Can be Passed,
But Opponents Dis
agree.

United Press Leased Wire Service
WAS SHlNGTON, Oct. 16.-Leaders OF
both parties in the senate expected q
vote today on the Shantung amend
ment to the treaty OF peace.
This amendment would alter the
treaty. 1t would change the clause re-
lating to Shantung SO as to restore
that province to China in its entirety
instead Of giving Japan the German
mining and railroad concessions in IT.
While there appeared to be NO
chance for the Shantung amendment
republican leaders believe that reser'
.vation expressing dissent from the
transfer of Shantung to Japan and re,
serving complete freedom Of action on
the part of the United States in any
controversy that may arise between
China and Japan will pass by ma
jority vote.
Following the Shantung. vote, an
hours reading of the treaty Will bring
the johnson amendment before the
senate. This proposal which would
give the United States six votes In the
league assembly will be rejected, ad
ministration leaders believe, although
possibility of adopting a reservation
is admitted Such reservation would
declare that in any controversy IN
yolving the United States only one
vote could be cast by the British EN-
pire.
Administration leaders believe that
no amendments to the treaty can De
passed. Announcement in Paris that
IN indefinite delay will result before
the treaty is put into effect was not
held to change the situation in the
senate.
In order to protect America from
Japanese aggression, Senator Pheian'
California, will vote against the Shan
tung amendment, he declared In a
brief speech today.
Il would by any legitimate means
check her advance OF turn her
armies Phelan declared. If she
must expand, then her expansion IN
Shantung, by agreement with emma
is more acceptable to us than her ex.
pansion in America, both north ana
south. If we exclude Japan from
America, as a wise national policy,
then we should not de unduly alarmed
abouf Shantung. But we need go no
further than Shantung in the accept
ance of this idea. What she holds in
Asia is an ample field. The league
of nations will prevent her forcible
expansion in the future, and Japan Is
a member of the league of nations
For this purpose we must keep her
there.
'.If an uncompromising attitude on
our part should ALLEVIATE Great Britain
and France and force them to stand
for Japan pursuant to their treaty OBJ
LEGATIONS, it might jeoDardize the sue
cess of the league Of nations itself
and the treaty of peace with Ger
many"
Phelan warned of the danger OF
Japanese penetration in America and
declared that by "surrepitious entry
and a phenomenal birth rate" the
best lands of California are falling In
the hands of japanese subjects. Al
though not accompanied yet by the
tramp of marching troops and the
salvos Of naval guns, it is none the
less real conquest Phelan declared.
This expansion is the movement that
should be diverted into Asia, he ex-
plained.

Both Houses Of Congress Have Passed
Industry Bill for Disabled Per-
sons Which viii Assist
Them In Working.
PERTAINING
REQUIRE
At Least Ten Per Cent Of Persons In
iured in Pursuits of Industry
Need Complete Instructions
In Some New Work.

In the interests of the common good
no congress ever assembled has
framed and passed law so worthy
as the cripples of industry bill which
has passed both houses of the present
congress.
1t is estimated that fully 100000
persons in the United States are In
jured in the pursuits of industry each
year. More than 10 per cent of that
number require complete retaining
because Of the nature Of their dis
ability, which does not permit of their
return to their old positions. More
than 30 per cent of these unfortunate
have dependents. In numerous cases
these dependents have become a
charge upon the community
The law provides that half a mill
lion dollars will be available the first
year. The second year $750,000 will
be available, and the third year the
government will allow 100000 for
the rehabilitation of the handicapped
men, women and children.
OF the money so appropriated the
government will give dollar every
time the state gives one to re-educate
the disabled man. The state, how.
ever, must eIldCI ldWo OuoOo aRSAA LIZ
federal act if they desire to receive
the benefits Of this money. The states
are to have their own examining
boards to determine who is eligible to
re-education and training, the kind OF
training necessary, and the institution
to which the handicapped person will
be sent. The federal bill expressly
provides that the state treasurer must
be designated as the custodian OF all
state funds. Each state will proceed
independently under a plan agreed
upon by the state and the federal gov
eminent.
1t has been the experience Of the
federal board for vocational educa-
ton that the legislative bodies of the
various states have been quick to
meet the government in all acts which
have provided for the good of the peo-
pIe of their communities in the past.
There is every reason to believe that
every state will hasten to enact legis-
lation which will permit it to secure
benefits under the federal bill The
desire to reclaim the disabled man
has always received attention at the
hands of Legislative bodies. A num-
Der of states have already enacted
laws modelled on that of the federal
act, some giving three or four dollars
for every dollar offered by the govern
ment to carry on this great work.
Just as soon as this bill comes out
of conference it will be presented to
the president for his signature. There
is little doubt as to the attitude of the
president when the bill reaches him.
Further action is squafely up to the
various states.
