President Refuses TO
DivuLge Big Four Talks

The President-Primari1 the man
datory power.
Senator FaIl-The mandatory power
would have that character of SOW
ereignty over the possession which
would compel il as a duty to defend
the mandate province?
The President-Yes.
Senator FaIl-Then a qualified SOW
ereignty would, in that instance, at
any rate, compel the mandatory OF the
league first to defend the colony?
The President should put it this
way, Senator: We had in mind
throughout the whole discussion OF
the mandate idea the analogy Of trus-
tees. The States taking those under
mandates would be in the nature OF
trustees, and OF course il is part of
the trustees duty to preserve intact
the trust estate.
Senatar FaII-But out Of the funds
OF the trust estate?
The President-Oh. yes.
Senator FalI-Mr. President, 7 will
not pursue that line at this time
will say very frankly that have pre-
pared some questions which I wanted,
for my own purposes, to put down IN
writing. and ] had expected to ask
them in sequences OF you after the
other Senators had concluded. 1t will

while il we pursue the line which we
are now pursuing. and particularly IL
the Senators themselves argue their
own interpretations OF the different
clauses in the treaty
Senator McCumber-Mr. President,
] should like to get as definite an un-
derstanding as can. at least, of how
these promises OF Japan TO return
Shantung are evidenced today. In
what form do they appear?
The President-They are evidenced
in a process verbal Of the so-caIled
council Of four, The name that we
ourselves used was very much more
pretentious. We called ourselves the
council of the principal allied and
associated powers; but the four who
used to confer, or rather the five,
because Japan was there, of course
at that time.

Claims Dandruff Will
Cause Badness

II you have dandruff you must
get rid of it quick-it's positively
dangerous and will surely ruin your
hair il you don't.
DandTuffy heads mean faded, brit

dies and falls out-new hair will

nothing can help you.
The only sure way to abolish
dandruff for good is to destroy the
germ that causes il. To do this
quickly, surely and safely. and at
little expense, there is nothing 50
effective as Partisan sage, which
you can get from Peoples Drug
stores and good druggists every
where. 1t is guaranteed to Danish

falling hair, and promote a new

will be refunded.
Partisan sage is a scientific prep
aration that supplies all hair needs

or greasy. easy to apply, and deli

Comparison With Malta

Senator Pomerene-That is, that
the instructors should be confirmed
by the Chinese government?
The President-No; not exactly
that The language, as 1 remember
it, was that they should be nominated
by the managers of the railways COM
pany, and appointed by the Chinese
government
Senator Borah-Was that under
standing oral?
Senator W1liams-This rather Gu
riOus question presents itself to my
mind. AS I understand, Japan has
retained sovereignty for the ninety
nine years Of the lease only at Kiao-
chau and five kiIometers, or some such
distance, back from the bay.
The President-She has not re-
tanned sovereignty over anything.
Senator Williams-She has not?
The President mean, she has
promised not to.
Senator Williams-During the
period Of the lease?
The President-No, she has prom
ised MOTTO retain sovereignty at all.
Senator Borah asked whether this
understanding was oral or otherwise.
1 do not like to describe the operation
exactly If it is not perfectly discrete,
but as a matter Of fact this was
techniQically oral, but literally writ
ten and formulated, and the formula
tiOn agreed upon.
Senator Johnson-when, Mr.. Presi-
dent, is the return to be made?
The President-That was left unde-
cided, Senator, but we were assured
at that time il would be soon as pos
sikle.
Senator Johnson-Did not the Jap
anese decline to fix any date?
The President-They did at that
time, yes; but 1 think ii is fair to
them to say, not in the spirit Of those
who wish it to be within their choice,
but simply that they could not at
that time say when il would be.

joints were taken down in writing
and read over and compared and pre-
served. were they?
The President-Not read over and
compared, but preserved. The pro-
cess each day was this, Senator: The
matters discussed were summarized,
and the conclusions reached were
recorded in a process verbal, copies
OF which were distributed within
twenty-foUr hours; and. Of course,
il was open to any one of the con
ferees to correct anything they might
contain. Only in that sense were
they corrected.
Senator McCumber - Where are
those records kept now?
The President-They are in Paris,
sir.
Senator McCUmber-Is there any
objection to their being produced for
the committee?
The President think there is a
very serious objection, Senator. The
reason We constituted that very small
conference was that we could speak
with the utmost absence OF restraint,
and ! think il would be a mistake to
make use Of those discussions out
side. / do not remember any blazing
indiscretion Of my own, but there may
be some.
Senator NcCumber-Tn those con-
versations, it was fully understood
that Japan was to return Shantung as
soon as possible?
The President-Yes sir.
Senator McCumber-Was there any
thing stated as to what was meant
by "as soon as possibIe"-that is,
to place it within any definite period
at all?
The President-No. sir; no. We
rely on Japan's good faith in fulflling
that promise.

thing outside? Tf ] go too far in
my questions, you can signify il. Mr..

privileges that they would retain
would give them a fair mastery over
the province, would they not, or at
least the Chinese think so? Let me
rut it in that fashion, please.
The PRESIDENT believe they do,
Senator. / do not feel qualified to
judge. I should say that that was
an exaggerated view.
Senator Johnson-But the Chinese
feel that way about it, and have so
expressed themselves?
The President-They have so ex-
pressed themselves.
Senator Knox-Mr. President, the
economic privileges that they origi-
nally acquired in Korea, and subse-
ouently in Inner and Outer Mon
golia, and in Northern and Southern
Manchuria, have almost developed
into complete sovereignty over
those countries; have they not?
The President-Yes, Senator, in the
absence Of a League Of Nations they
have.
Senator Knox-You think the
League Of Nations would have pre-
vented that, do you?
The President am confident it
would.

answers the question.

required during the period of the war
| The President-Yes.

| The President-Yes.
| Senator Williams-Mr. President.
wish to ask you a question in order
to see if the facts are clear in my
own mind. AS I understand the situa-
tion-and ! should like to have yoL
correct me if I am wrong-Franec
and Great Britain both have stated
that they were bound by certain
treaties with Japan, and they were
perfectly willing, with Japan's con-
sent, to reconsider those treaties; but
that they were themselves bound If
the other party to the treaty did not
consent to reconsider. Is that about
it?
The President-Yes.
Senator Williams-That is what
thought. Bound in honor is the only
way a nation is bound in international
affairs.
Senator Swanson-Can you tell us,
or would il be proper to do so, of your
understanding with Japan as to the
return of Shantung-a question which
has been very much discussed?
The President have published
the wording of the understanding,
Senator. ] cannot be confident that
quote it literally, but 1 know that /
quote it in substance. 1t was that
Japan should return to China, in full
sovereignty, the old province of Shan
tUng, so far as Germany had had any
claims upon it, preserving to herself
the right to establish a residential
district at Tsingtao, which is the
town of KiachOw Bay; that with re-
gard to the railways and mines she
should retain only the rights of an
economic concession there, with the
right, however, to maintain a special
body of police on the railway, the
personnel of which should be Chi
nese under Japanese instructors nomi-
mated by the managers of the COM
pany and appointed by the Chinese
government. I think that is the
whole of ii.

presently did run, with the result
that the President addressed to the
Italian people an appeal over the
heads of the government, with conse-
quences still to be measured.
The European powers might have
accepted the views of the Senate
and championed them against the
President, but the President alone
could negotiate a treaty, in any
event, and he was the master Of the
vast army, the powerful navy, the
incalculable resources which were
so important an element in the sit
uation year ago.
Technically, then, the European
nations might have rejected the
Presidents credentials, resisted his
leadership, recognized the legisla-
tive rather than the executive
branch Of the American government
as dominant. But practically this
was out Of the question. Such hope
as there was Of American assist
ance became a matter Of life and
death, flowed from the friendly re-

Deceiued Himself

He told them also that whatever
opposition there might be in the
Senate an appeal to the American
people would insure the passage of
the resolution Of ratification. He
believed this, his European audience
believed him, and most, if not quite
all, Of the Americans abroad at the
time confirmed his statement.
1t is clear that, technically, the
cry now coming from Europe that
the United States has repudiated an
engagement already entered into is
not accurate. 1t is equally true that
technically the countries with which
the United States negotiated the
peace treaty should have been able
to discover the anomalous situation
which enabled our legislative branch
to reject a treaty negotiated by the
Executive, and further to discover

upon the situation tend to prove
that a customer, no matter how
vital it may be to his system, has a
great disinclination to ask a bar
tender for violet drip. The words
seem to stick in his throat. That's
where psychology comes in.
"Now, since it is mani9estly i'm
probable that the rank and file of
citizenry will be able to tickle their
parching throats in the future with
anything stronger than Parnassus
punch and it's blood relatives, the
Hotel Majestic was confronted with
the proposition of making the act of
ordering violet drip easier for the
consumer. So from now on the
Majestic, which has been famous
for more than it's psychology, will
employ barpaids."

pitality with her. She brings, in
addition, violet drip (ice cream
scented with cologne), Parnassus
punch "a lady finger floating in
a bowl Of orangeade), Bohemian
Delight (malted what-not with
granulated stuf1ing), and a list Of
other hard liquids that will grow
nasturtiums on a bald-headed roof.
but if these drinks are the sign
of the times and a Democratic ad-
ministration they also have their
value as showing how psychology
may be applied to the great prob
lens of life and how two dollars
may be brought to bloom where ten
cents grew before.
Statistics which our Human
Want Bureau have brought to bear
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28
anarchy Is Result

The legislative branch cannot,
however, negotiate a new treaty,
while the President can, if he
chooses, reject any amendments to
the treaty and can refuse to accept
any settlement which departs in any
degree, even the smallest, from his
own views. Now, taking the situa-
tion at its highest possible level,
eliminating partisan and personal
considerations, assuming for the mo-
ment that both the President and
the majority of the Senate are act
ing with equal sincerity, good faith,
patriotism, each believing its own
solution not merely the best but the
single one conforming to the stand
ards OF national honor ana lnJerna-
tlonal peace, the result is anarchy in
the world so far as the United
States is concerned. We lose our
vote, we lose our chance to partici-
pate and, in the present case, we de-
lay the return to peace all over the
world, since all nations desire our
participation.
So far the single logical sugges-
ton of an escape from the deadlock
comes from Senator Lodge, who
proposes to carry the question to
the people in the next national elec-
tion. But this means postporiLg
peace, SO far as we are concerned,
for whole year-possibly more,
for even after the election the Pres
ident cannot be compelled to act,
and he holds office until March 4,
1921. More than this, it means
withdrawing American influence
from the international field all
through what must be the most
critical year of all.
Any other proposal comes to
mere nonsense, since peace. by con-
current or joint resolution leads
back to the President beyond per-
adventure, while it raises whole
multitude of questions and leaves for
adjustment all of our various out
standing litigations with Germany,
which would have to go to the
courts and there be decided against
us, almost inevitably, if the victory
itself were not translated into es-
tablished fact by the treaty itself.
Now so much for the past and
the present, but even they are only
a small part Of the whole. Europe

Rerision Necessary

Yet some revision certainly seems
necessary when one recognizes that
the peace Of the world has been al
most indefinitely postponed owing tc
the absence of any official or body
capable of breaking the deadlock be-
tween the President and the Senate.
Possibly some way might be found,
in case of deadlock, to throw the
whole matter into the House of Rep
resentatives and let it break the tie.
But the discussion of solutions is
rather irrelevant What Is impor-
tant to recognize is the fact that the
