WASHINGTON, Jan. 30EDiplo-

the the United States threatened to
withdraw it's support from the Rus
sian Republican or Constitutionalist
faction if the factions leaders refuse
to meet the Bolsheviki representa-
tives in the Princes Island Confer
ence.
If withdrawal of American support
would mean recall of Aenrican
troops from Archangel and Vladi-
vostok, and withdrawal of the recog-
milton the United States has grant
ed the Russian Coflstitutionalist
representatives at Washington, it is
reported that England, France, ia
pan and Italy would take similar
action, leaving Russia to flight it

The LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
lMPERILLED
BY SECRECY
IN TREATIES
: By AMOS PINCHOT
written for the United Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The
United States apparently entered
the war in ignorance of the secret
treaties arranged by the Allies,
which now constitute an obstacle to
a permanent, democratic peace.
There is every reason to believe
that neither President Wilson not
the state department learned Of the
secrettreaties until months after war
was declared, in April, 1917. 1t is
also practically. certain that when
Foreign Secretary Balfour and for
mer Premier Viviani came here early
in the summer of 1917, as heads of
the British and French missions,
they failed to apprise this govern
ment of the existence of the treaties
for the reason there was an under
standing between the British! French
Italian and Russian governm ents
that they should be kept under cover.
The text of the secret treaties was
smuggled into the United States by
a Russian sailor in January, 1918.
Russian residents of New York plac-
ed them in the hands of the writer.
Every effort was made to give the
treaties publicity. They were, in
fact, published in one newspaper of
limited circulation, but beyond that
a general press taboo seemed to
have been placed on them. Many
attempts were made to convince SEN
ators and congressman that it was
their duty to, put the secret treaties
into the Congressional Record. but
they contended either that it was
impossible" or "unpatriotic." 1t is
not believed that even today a score
of senators and congressman have
read the secret treaties in their en-
tirety.
Representatives of Allied countries
have been quoted as saying there are
no binding secret treaties, but only
informal memoranda. The British
French-ltalian-Russian treaty,
however, is by no means an 'infor-
NAL memoranda" On the contrary.
it is binding contract sealed and de-
livered in London, April 26, 1915, and
generally referred to as the "London
Pact" 1t was signed by Grey for
Great Britain, Cambon for France,
Imperial for Italy and Benckendorf
for Russia. 1t is the contract set
ting forth the price to be paid for
Italy entering the war with all the
forces at her command" The trea-

THE PROBLEM
OF WORK FOR
UNEMPLOYED
is PRESSING:
SAYS WILSON
Omitted Press Service.)


WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson told the Labor
Committee of both House and Sen
ate today that Congress must provide
work for unemployed if the spread
Of Bolshevikism is to be stopped
from reaching the United States.
He declared that abnormal profits
must be eliminated before the coun-
try can be got back to a normal con-
dition. But those making them are
afraid to reduce prices. Individually
they are afraid reduction of prices
will cause the bottom to drop out
from business. Collectively they
are afraid to reduce for fear of run
ming foul of the antitrust laws.
Mr.. Wilson declared that the unem-
ployment problem will be settled
when business men stop holding off
projects pending a return of wages
and the prices of materials to a nor
NAL basis. He declared that the
problem of unemployment is not Sc
rious so far as the number of men
engaged is concerned; but It shows
the need of "some buffer employ
ment" to tide over a temporary situ-
alton.

MAYER RETURNS
FROM CALIFORNIA

Mr.. Otto Mayer, the well known
plumber, has returned from Los
Angeles. where he went a couple of
weeks ago to purchase supplies to
fill several contracts he has in hand.
Right here it is admissible to
state that the OTTO MEYER, who
was convicted in the federal court in
Tucson last week of having violated
the law with regard TO passports, is
not our Mr.. Otto Mayer Of Nogales.
Observe the distinction in the spell
ing of the names. Theindividual be-

The United Drive for Relief in the
Near East will begin on February

18th and the righteousness of the
measure appeals ITO all. A large
Christian population in the Asiatic
provinces Of Turkey, Syria, Armenia,
Palestine and Meesopotamia), are in
dire want and suffering from the
ravages of war. Added to that has
been the dread horror perpetrated
upon these peoples by their Turkish
rulers and masters. Millions of them
have perished already, and other
millions will perish unless relief is
given, and speedily. Once again
America is called to respond to cry
for help, and the response will not
pass unheeded. In no part of the
country will the response be more
spontaneous and unselfish than in
Arizona and in Santa Cruz county.
