alleging them to be agricultural. The
lands are valued at s421 900, 600.

Merely Truce Of Versailles Which

rs HARSH AND CRUEL

United Press Leased wire SefVlCe.J
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The
treaty now before the senate is
merely "the truce Of Versailles" not
a treaty of lasting peace; 1t does not
spell peace, but war-war more Woe
full and devastating than the one just
closed; 1t lays the foundation for
centuries of blood-letting.
This characterization of the pend
ing treaty was presented TO the senate
today by Senator Knox, Pennsylvania,
in speech in which he stated that
1.-The more 1 consider this treaty, the
more / am convinced that the only
safe way for us to deal with it is to
decline to be a party to it at all"
AS the facts concerning the treaty
became apparent to the American
people, Knox said, they may now
hope to see the whole of the great
gaunt tragedy into which those whom
they had charged with protecting
them were about to betray them"
Analyzing the treaty provisions,
Knox declared it is so harsh on Ger
many that it will kill the golden
egg" of reparations, upon which the
allied nations have counted SO much.
at is hard and cruel peace that
this treaty stipulates," said Knox. II
have no objections to it's being so,
but see no reason why we, who do
not partake in It's spons, should be-
come parties to its harshness and
cruelty. l see no reason why we
should be parties to imposing upon
Germany a treaty whose terms, our
negotiators say, she will not be able
to meet; that robs our ancient friend
China; that lays the foundation for
centuries of blood-lettirg INTO which
we should not be drawn; that with
ominous words presages our involve
ment in the eruptions Of suppressed
volcanic world conditions"
Commenting on the final section of
the treaty, dealing with labor, Knox
declared that "either it will never be
enforced as drawn, and perhaps was
never intended to be enforced as
drawn but merely to be sop, thrown
to labor, or if enforced as written anu
in the spirit its provisions seem to
carry, it will wreck the world.
ut compels the class antagonism
between capital and labor which wis
dom requires that we lessen, not IN
crease, If we are not to remain a free
people, anu ludheS pOSoiple Gil uiIi
mate interference Of foreign nations
in our labor disputes at the instance
of residents of our own country"
Instead of ratifying the treaty, Knox
said, the United States should re
nounce in favor of Germany all claims
for indemnity, renounce all participa-
tion in commissions, committees,
boards OF other means provided by the
treaty in aid Of it's execution; we
ought not to accept cessions of Ger
man territory; we should declare a
general policy and regard with con-
Germ any threat Of disturbance Of
general world peace, but at the same
time we should reserve complete liD-
erty of action in taking such steps as
we determine wise for preserving
peace.
This would be a fitting, generous
and dignifid exit from situation in
which primarily we had no direct con.

CHICAGO. Aug. 29-chicagoans
today saw their efforts against the
high cost Of living rewarded by a
steadily declining price list.
With hogs selling at the stock
yards here SO lower than they were
three days ago, and SIS less than tho
record price reached July 81, practc-
ally all other food commodities In
local markets showed lower figures.
Reason for the slump In living
costs was given as desire by pack
ers to quit killing livestock while
housewives continue to use sparingly
Of fresh meats. Meantime, farmers
continued to ship stock to tho Chi
cago markets, fearing further lower
ed prices. Consequently, pens were
crowded beyond .capaeity. the effect
Of the abundance being felt in other
lines.
