81 900 900 libel suit against the Chlca-

intended to refute that of Professor
Reeves of the University of Michigan
who some time ago testified that many
of Mr. Ford's ideas were anarchists.
He was questioned by Attorney Alfred

Attorney Lucking quoted Mr.. ford
as advocating a world viewpoint rather
than the national viewpoint.

The question brought on arguments
of counsel in which Attorney Alfred

SENATOR WARREN AND
SPENCE 'VV|TED TO
x.,,os ", r."It HOUSE TODAY Y

Washington, July 25.-There seemed
to be some doubt at the White House
today whether all republican senators
would be invited to confer with the
president. II had been understood that
all would be invited. but no further
appointments had been made today
and so far as could be learned Senator
Warren OF Wyoming and one or two
other senators Were all that the presi'
dent planned to see In thelmmediate
future.
The president was in his study early
today. Among the many matters be
fore him was the preparation of infor'
nation and documents relating TO the
peace negotiations requested by the
senate. a vast number OF papers have
TO be separated from the presidents
personal documents, and this work
was expected to consume much time.
Indications today Were thatthe presi'
dent would start on his westward trip
about August 10. although ii was made
clear that this was purely tentative
and that the exact date would depend
upon development in Washington dur
ing the next fortnight.
President Wilson today was consider
ing weekend cruise ON the yacht
Mayflower, the weather being ideal
for a voyage to Hampton Roads.
The invitation to Senator Warren and
also one to Senator Spencer of Mis-
souri, We're dispatched by the President
during the forenoon. The senators
were asked to call ut the White House
later in the day.
The president paid an unexpected
call on Secretary Baker in the state
war and navy building just before
noon. After comforting for half an
hour with Mr.. Baker. the president
called on Secretary Lansing, remain
ing about 10 minutes. He then re-
turned to the White House. There was
no intimation as to what matters he
had discussed with the secretaries.
Before he went to the White House,
Senator Spencer said he had drawn up
five reservations which he expected
TO present to the president. He said he
would tell Mr.. Wilson he was satisfied
that, If the administration would en-
dorse the reservations, the treaty would
DO ratified

P|TTMAN FOR TREATY
AS It STANDS NOW TO
PREVENT D|SSENS|ONS

washington, July 25.-Any fesefNa-
tions in senate ratification of the peace
treaty would reopen the whole field
of negotiation. encourage other nations
to make reservations and renew inter
national discussion, declared Senator
Pittman of Nevada. a democratic mem
Der of the foreign relations commit
tee. in an address today in the senate
The speaker cited the Spanish treaty
Of 1919, to which the senate attached
a reservation as to papal claims in
Florida, and said that although the
Spanish government attached the same
reservation the treaty had to be rati-
fled a second time because the two
stipulations were differently worded
He pointed out that the supreme
court later had held this reservation
to be "a part of the treaty" and that
the same court had held of the treaty
with Spain that lin its essence, it is
a contract"
1T is immaterial," continued Senator
Pittman, whether the senate considers
the reservation as changing the treaty
or not, for that is a question under
the law of contracts that the other
party has an equal right to determ-
inc. 1t is immateria whether the
change be accomplished in the body
of the treaty, or by reservations in the
resolution approving the treaty, or by
interpretative clauses annexed to the
treaty. The words in a contract are
of as much importance to the contract
ing parties as the agreement itself,
and the words once agreed upon can
not be changed without the consent of
each of the parties to be bound by the
contract.
Are we justified in assuming that
other pariaments and governments
will accept without further interpreta-
ton our definitions of the articles of
the covenant as affecting our own OBJ
ligations?"
"Japan's most bitter fight at the
council table was to grant the leag ue
jurisdiction to prevent the United
States, Canada and Australia from eX'
Guiding Japanese from their territories
under the immigration laws. Think
you that the Japanese government will
neglect the opportunity to again insist
on reservations in the treaty covering
this pointY'
Think you that the Italian parlia-
ment, having the opportunity by the
re-opening of negotiations, would hest
tate to place in the treaty reservations
which they believe are necessary TO
protect her interests at Fiume, Dal-
malta and along the Adriatic coast
when we had set the example?
Would there be cause for surprise,
if, in the circumstances, the parliament
of Great Britain should feel justified
in adding "a reservation to the treaty
when it goes back to them to the effect
that the clause providing for limitation
of naval armament shall not by reason
Of Graf Britain's peculiar situation ap'
ply to that government?
Unless we approve this treaty as
it stands, then we open the door to all
of the disastrous possibilities of re
newed international dissensions."
