ILLINOIS MAN
FIRES OPENING
Gun At TREATY
IN THE SENATE
Senator Mccormick Makes
a Speech Bitterly ASSail-
ing Many Provisions Of
Famous Versailles Pact,
TELLS REPUBLICANS
NOT TO COMPROMISE
He Is Followed By Senator
McCumber, Who Flags
Both Parties for Failure
to Reach an Agreement

10y MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wlREl
Washington, Feb. 16.-Laying
aside its legislative business, the
senate by unanimous consent, took
up the treaty of Versailles again to-
day and resumed in all its vigor
the ratification debate interrupted
last November.
The opening gun in the new
phase of the fight was fired by the
Mccormick, of Illinois, re-opening
the discussion with a speech bitter
ly assailing many provisions of the
document and counselling the re-
publican leaders not to consent to
further compromise.
He was followed by Senator Nc
Cumber, republican. North Dakota.
who flayed the heads of both
parties for their failure to COM
promise and declared that "child's
play obstinacy" alone stood in the
way of ratification.
Drawn into the debate by the
charges of the North Dakota sem
ator, Senator Hitchcock, demo-
cratic leader asserted that the
democrats already had abandon
ed their previous stand and had
offered compromise, but that the
republicans were demanding moth
ing short of complete democratic
surrender.
Once it got under way, the de-
bate speedily revived the whole
scale of issues which the senate
had debated from May to November
of last year. -~.le SUBJECT techni-
cally under consideration, a motion
by Senator Lodge to modify the
republican reservation on with
drawal was not mentioned until
late in the day when Mr.. Lodge
took the floor to explain briefly his
reasons for moving for the change.
When the debate was re-opened
the private negotiations for COM
promise apparently passed into the
doldrpms and some Of the treaty's
mose active friends on both sides
of the chamber predicted there
probably would be no settlement
until discussion on the floor had
spent itself.
Acting under an agreement with
democratic leaders, Senator Lodge
asked unanimous consent that the
treaty be taken up and then pre-
sented the first of the proposed
reservation changes he made pub
lie last week. His amendment
would make the withdrawal res
ervation stipulate that notice of
withdrawal from membership in
the league of nations could be
given "by the president or by con-
gress acting alone whenever the
majority of both houses may deem
it necessary" In the original
draft the notice might be given
"by a concurrent resolution of the
congress of the United States"

FOREIGN TRADE
Of FHE PACKERS
ALMOST CEASED
Trade Situation Abroad Is
Such That Exporting OF
Packing House Products
Has Almost Ceased.

tHY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LaASEp wiREl
Chicago, Feb. 16.-The export
trade of the meat packers--the
largest single industry in America
has practically ceased as a result
of the foreign trade situation, the
Institute of American Meat Pack
ers announced IN a bulletin today.
During the last calendar year the
exports of pork products alone ex-
ceeded ,5O0,OOO,OOO pounds.
Beef exports ceased some time
ago, and during the last month
pork exports have practically
stopped, the bulletin says:
In q resume of the meat situa-
ton abroad, it adds that England
has seven months supply on hand.
In Germany agents of American
packers are unable to sell stocks
already in the country because the
German government is unable to
offer acceptable currency in pay
ment Sales in Holland, have prac-
tically ceased, in France they have
stopped entirely, and in Scandina-
via hope of resumption of trade
with Russia as q result of the lift
ing of the allied blockade, has
been abandoned. Italy has pur-
chased no American meat for some
time.
Cutting off of the export trade is
reflected in substantial reductions
in the wholesale price of meat, but
so far the reduction has not been
noticeable in local retail markets.
A year ago steers brought $40
at the Chicago yards, while last
Saturday the same grade sold for
$11.50 to $3.50 per hundred.
Dressed beef prices ranged from 50
to $24 a hundred last week, an av-
erage of $17.S6. A year ago the av-
erage price was $20.91.
Board of Trade quotations on
pork for February 10. 1919, were:
Mess pork, $3S.S5; lard, $3.50 and
short ribs, $21.82.
Quotations for February 8 of
this year, were: Mess pork, $33.75;
lard, $21.O7. and short ribs, $1S.07.
The tendency of prices at the
yards fer the past two weeks has
been downward. and officials of the
five big packers predicted today
that further decreases in the
dressed beef and pork products list
could be expected.
New York, Feb. ia material
slump in exports has resulted from
the foreign exchange situation with
accompanying restrictions as to fl
nancing commercial bills of lading,
according to statements made to-
day by steamship men and marine
insurance brokers. Steamships,
which previously were departing
with full cargoes, have been COM
PEELED to clear with empty space
under their decks and contracts for
cargo for outward bound vessels
have been cancelled in number of
instances, the steamship men ad-
ded.

AUSTRIA REPRESENTATIVE
TAKES LONDON RESIDENCE

LONDON, oct 22.--(U. P.)-Isaron
Frankenstein, formersattache OF tho
Austrian Embassy in London, has ar
rived here as the first representative
of the republican Austrian government
after the war, and has taken. up his
quarters at the beautiful mansion In
Beigravn square where successive Aus
trian ambassadors entertained sump.
tuously before the war.
The requirements Of the Austrian
diplomatic representation are on a
much more modest scale now, and as
The former embassy Is extremely ex-
pansive to maintain, the new minis
ter Is looking for smaller quarters
The German Legation is also anxious
to find less expensive premies than
.the palatial mansion in Carlton House
Terrace which It now occupies.
One Of the things that struck Baron
Frankenstein most on his arrival was,
so he said, that for n penny he could
have quito long bus rid which In
Vienna would cost 30 times as much,
al the normal rate Of exchange.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Press

New York, October 30.-Widely diver gent courses were pursued by the finan- cial market this week. many shares of 1 the speculative variety giving away to further liquidation and professional pres sure, while additional capital issues was confidently absorbed by investors. Latest underwrtings embraced trans- portation, industrial and utility projects and approximated 600. Other loans for fully double that amount, including credits to South America. Cuba and sev- eral European countries, are said to be in prospect.
 Movements of foreign exchange were wholly in favor of this center. Sterling forfeited most of it's recovery on the set
 clement of the British coal strike, French and Italian remittances fell to discounts of s to over 80 per cent, and sharp de- preciation in Dutch. Scandinavian and Spanish exchange were in striking con-
 trast to the war premiums of those coun- tries.
 Pools in certain stocks made tentative efforts at the outset of the week to pro mote prediction advance, but such attempts were nullified by the firmer tone of money and the detached attitude of the public.
 Shorts seized upon these adverse con- ditions as reason for extending their aIreduy laTSe coHiHlllIneHtS, CoHccHtIdl- ing in leading industrial. particularly steelS and equipments. Rails also were sold. probably because of disappointing September earnings, but some of the transcontinentials, notably Southern Pa- cific, were active and strong. There were steady offerings of textile. leather, rubber, chemical and kindred is- sues, the reaction in their groups sym chronizing with additional price conces- sions in raw and manufactured products and concurrent contraction of output Outstanding features of the industrial situation included the favorable quarter ly statements of the United States Steel and Bethlehem Steel companies, sharp decline in pig iron prices and production and the liquidation of labor as indicated by the voluntary acceptance of lower wage scales.

COTTON OPENING WEAK WITH PRICE
 DOWN 55PO|NTS
Continued Unsatisfactory Con- dition In Cotton Goods Cir cIes Responsible for
 Weakness
By Associated Press

New York, October 30.-The continued unsatisfactory situation in cotton goods circles, with the curtaiiment exceeding and prospects for an even greater re- duction next week, wage reductions inn mined in great many mills and an absence of killing frost in the belt, caused a weak opening in the cotton market today, with prices 5 points net lower. Early selling by Wall street. To- cal houses and the south was on a rather large scale, influenced to some extent also by prospects for rising temperatures in the belt and a bearish interpretation was placed on the condition report of a local trade paper indicating a decline oe 4.5 points during October, or only about half that of the corresponding pc riod last year. On the break Decem Der sold as low as 20.65c, January, 2o05c, and March 1960c, or 3S to co points under the previous close, but at these levels a good deal of covering developed which with the relative strength Of the New Orleans market and reports of an in- creased spot demand at some of the southern points, promoted a rally that eventually recovered most of the loss, the market closing firm at 2 points ad- vance to 9 points decline. While senti- ment continued more bearish than other wise the fact that farm organizations throughout the south are being urged to hold their cotton together with an ,in- creased export inquiry and a. consider able demand from New Orleans houses indicating an absence of hedge pressure there, tended to make traders cautious on the short side temporarily, notwith- standing the gloomy reports from the goods market.
