BANKERS GENERALLY GIVE
APPROVAL TO TREATY ACTION

Dictation-Some Regret Non-Approval

From the Wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Views regarding the defeat Of the
peace treaty are rather mixed in
banking circles. Those bankers who
have been in close touch with the adj
ministration and also closely inter.
ested in our foreign commerce ex.
press regret over the event, as it is
calculated to seriously curtail our
foreign commerce and push into the
background the comprehensive plans
proposed for facilitating shipments
and establishing foreign credits in
this market. These bankers are for
that reason rather despondent over
the outlook for American commerce
In the near future. They see evidences
already of Europe taking our foreign
trade from us.
On the other hand, there are q num-
Der of bankers. perhaps mot SO par
ticularly Identified with foreign com.
merce, who think that the action OF
the Senate is a good thing for Amer
lea. This opinion is based largely
upon the general idea Of maintaining
our sovereignty and independence in
the worlds affairs. These bankers
view the defeat Of the peace treaty
with complete eQuanimity, not to say
satisfaction.

The head Of prominent bank in the
financial district who, under the cir
cumstances does not wish his name

ing the President for the way he han.
died the peace negotiations and con-
siders that he is entirely TO blame for
the result. He gays this is not the
only time in the history OF the United
states that it had been strikingly

to hold the destiny of tho country In
the palm Of his hand.
"Mr. wilson," said this banker,
went to Europe, In the FIRST place, in
the face of all precedent and against
the expressed wishes of the country:
He ignored the Senate of the United
States and conducted negotiations in
Paris entirely on his own RESPONSE
bility. Even his chief adviser. the
Secretary Of State. admitted that he
was not consulted on occasions. Since
his return Mr.. Wilson has endeavored
to force through a treaty which pur-
ported to be Of his own making and
would listen to no suggestions from
the legislative branch OF the govern
ment.
II do not consider that the defeat
Of the peace treaty has changed the
situation ct all or will make any
difference in our international rela.
tions. We are going to lose q large
part of our foreign commerce, but
