State Of War Terminates.

Senator Brandegee: I went into that
question rather thoroughly-"from the
coming into force of the present
treaty the state of war will terminate"

subject to the provisions Of this treaty,
official relations with Germany and
with any Of the German states will

The President: Because senator, in
case of the worst coming to the worst,
and war ensuing, we would be at war
with all Of them.
q blunder has been made In creating
such a situation. 1t would not. be de-
terminative. in my opinion.

this statement: From the coming
into forcaAef the present treaty the
state of war will terminate. From
that moment and subject to the pro-
visions of this treaty, official relations
with Germany, and with any of the
German states, will be resumed by the

treaty itself provides that when Ger

sociated powers have ratified the
treaty it has come into force.
The President: As between those

Senator Brandegee: Here 1t is, Mr..
President (handing pamphlet to the
President). have read it, and there
is no such language in it that I can
discover.
The President: No; not the part
that you read. I did not mean that,
but in the part where the provision is
referred to about ratification by Ger
many and three of the principal allied
and associated powers.
Senator Brandegee: I have read
that with some care, and 1 have not
seen it.

Asks of American Draft.

Senator Brandegee: I want to ask
you a word or two about this so-called
American draft. The American draft of
the league which was sent to us In re-
Spouse to Senate resolution was the
draft which was submitted by the
american commission to the conference
abroad?
The President: No.
Senator Brandegee: 1t was the draft
which was submitted !y you as the
head Of the American commission to the
American commission. Is that correct
The President: Why. senator. it was
done as all other things of this sort
were done over there. We circulated
the draft among the representatives OF
the fourteen states who were repre-
scented in the general league Of nations
and they had ten days or more to exam

general powers of the assembly it,

The Chairman: They have votes in
the assembly?
The President: They have votes
but in a matter involving the British
empire. they would have but one vote
among them
The Chairman: But on all other
matters they would each have one
vote?
The President: Yes.
Senator Brandegee: I want to call
the Presidents attention to the first
page of the treaty with Germany.
which says. after the preamble set
ting forth the desirability of the con-
dition existing being replaced by a
just and durable peace. For this pur-
pose. the high contracting parties
represented as follows" and then it
names them. and in the list is his
majesty. the King of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ire
yond the seas. Emperor of India, by
his duly accredited officials. and the
Dominion of Canada. the Common
wealth of Australia. the Dominion of
South Africa. the Dominion OF New
Zealand" and so forth. Now. they are
thigh contracting parties?
The President: Yes.
Senator Brandegee- And il one of
those high contracting parties has a
dispute with another of the high con-
tracing parties. by what inference
are other high contracting parties
made parties to the dispute?
The President: 1 think by the in
ference that I thought 1 established.

Senator Brandegee Gnterposing):
But, if you will allow me to say so. 1t
does not say that those parties. the
SELF O0VerninV PriffSh colnniaS shall
be excluded from participating in the
deliberations because they may have
some interest in the controversy.
The President: No.
Senator Brand sgee: They must be
parties to the dispute. Now, if we
have a dispute with England about
the right of an American ship to en-
ter an English port, how can it be
said that New Zealand or Australia is
q party to that dispute?

Mr.. Miller testified. The fact Is that
while 1t Is technically true. as the
President says, that the British self
governing colonies deal automatically
through the British foreign office. 1t
IS only true In a most technical sense.
They are absolutely autonomous,
even In their diplomatic dealings. as
to matters that affect them. For in
stance. remember. when the Cana
dian reciprocity agreement was ne
gotiated in 1911. the delegates sent
to negotiate the agreement were from
Canada. Great Britain did not appear
at the hearings or conferences at all.
and in every sense Canada was just
as autonomous in conducting her in
ternational negotiations as she would
have been IL she had been an abso-
1utely independent government.
The President: Yes; but this, you
see. senator. is a combination of def
nite governments that Rave definite in
ternatioral relations with each other.
Senator Knox: But the fact that
you give representation to Canada
and Australia and New Zealand and
other autonomous self-governing
the idea, does it not, that they are
one government?
The President: I think not. sir, be-
cause in making UP the constitution
OF the council. 1t was provided. to
speak with technical accuracy. that
the five principal allied or associated
governments should each have one
representative in the league; and In
the opening paragraph of the treaty
itself those powers are enumerated,
and among others is the British en-
pire. THE Empire of Great Britain"

Senator Knox Explains.

Senator Knox: The language to
which the President refers is the con-
GLIDING paragraph of the treaty. and
1T provides that when the process of
ratification shall have been completed
by Germany and any three powers the
treaty shall come into force.
The President: AS between them.
Senator Knox: No; 1 beg your par
don. Mr.. President. In a subsequent
clause dealing with what I think is
an entirely different matter-that is
the adjustments as between the ma
tions-not adjustments as between
the allied and associated powers and
Germagy-it comes into force when
ever the Publications are made: but
II you will take the body Of the treaty
you will find that everything that
Germany Is to do is to be done within
q certain number of days after the
ratification has been made; and a Ger
tain number Of months afterward she
is to demobilize. give up her ships.
and do all things that will make her
practically a non-combatant within a
number of days after ratification by
three Of the powers: So she is either
at peace with the world. or she is only
partially at peace with the world; and
as the requirements of the treaty are
specific that she is to go out Of the
war business altogether. there is a
conclusive inference in my mind that
she Is at peace with the world when
those three Publications have been
made.
The President: I cannot agree with
you there. You see. the theory is this:
That when three of the principal
allied and associated powers ratify
this treaty. Germany having ratified
1t. then the treaty Is in force; that is
to say. She has then engaged to do
the things provided In the treaty and
her engagement Is with those three
powers. among the rest. and she must
then proceed to do what she has prom

Relies on Diplomats.


The President: No, senator, but the
diplomatic relations Of the different
countries in that council will be such, IL
1 may Judge. that those things may be
accomplished.
Senator Brandegee: That is an opti-
mistic view to take, II you will pardon
my opinion about it.
The President: Perhaps it is.
Senator Brandegee: l want to call
your attention to this era Of good feel
ing which exists between the allied and
associated powers after their common
experience and suffering in this great
war may not always exist, in view of
future commercial contests and separate
intere SITS Of different nationalities which
may occur in the future, and what some
of US feel is that we ought to be careful
in making these definite international
engagements, which we are wisely de-
termined to carry out in good faith IL
we should make them, and we feel that
now Is the time to understand exactly
the authority we are to be held to be-
fore we affix our signature. and 1 have
no doubt that you agree to that.

The Irish Resolution.

Senator John Sharp " illiams was
the only senator to vote againii
sticking the American nose into
British and Irish affairs. 1t is emf.
nently proper for the American peo-
pie to give all their sympathy to the
Irish, and to endorse the demand for
an Irish government, but when the
Unived States senate, acting for the
the government, passes resolution
like the Borah resolution, it simply
invites retaliation in kind from
Great Britain, and any other for
egin country that may have views
upon American problems which are
dissimilar to ours.

How Our Navy Has Grown.

Henry C. Wiltbank, in The Rud

attention to the remarkable rise OF
the United States in tonnage hold

war, this country has jumped into
second position, our tonnage inereas
ling from l,O76,Ooo to 4,476,OoO
tons. Of the worlds trade fleet we
hold eleven per cent.
According to the same authority,
Germany fell back only one position
in her standing in world trade AT
the time of the armistice she was in
position to become menace to all
other commercial nations, as she
held third position until the armis-
tice stripped her of her maratime

The Trouble in Winnipeg.

Little news of the great Canadian
labor crisis has permeated this far
south. That serious troubel was
narrowly missed is evident The
strengthening Of the police force by
the swearing in of 1000 returned
war veterans as special constables
is a sign of the gravity of the
situation.
1t is pleasing to note the attitude
of the soldiers ofthe Dominion,now
returning after four years of victor
.ious and really famous fighting.
The veterans are strongly and en-
phatically against the movement.
They Loyalty uphold constituted
authority, even when the constitu1
ted authorities themselves failed to
act. Threats at a soldiers meeting
were open; if the government did
not intend to take action against
the strike leaders the soldiers did.
Brig. Gen. Ketchen assured three
thousand soldiers that action was
pending to deal with revolution and
Bolshevism.
Its plain that the big strike as
it enters it's fourth week, is yet a
thing of peril. That it was intend
ed as a move against the govern
ment is plain, but its failure is Ger.
tain.
