had published in the Congressional
Record 100000 words on the treaty

The sudden breaking up of the bi-
partisan conference on the peace trea-
ty without accomplishing results has
prompted democratic leaders to seek a
new advance for reaching comprom-
ise on reservations.
Arrangements are being made for a
conference between the democratic
and republicans of the mild reserva-
tion group to draw up plans of pro-
cedure.
Nothing definite is expected to be
done, however. until Senator Hitch
cock, who left last night for his home
in Omaha, returns to Washington in
about a week.
The first formal step of democratic
leaders to revive senate discussion of
the peace treaty was taken when Sena-
tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, gave
notice that on February 10 a motion
would be made to proceed to the
treaty's consideration.

BANKERS ARE CONCERNED
Gravity of Situation Is Com

bankers of the south are deeply con-
cerned about the extravaganza and
idleness which are sapping the foun-
dations of prosperity, and in their re-
plies to the letter recently sent out
by Governor NJ B. .Wellborn. of the
federal reserve bank, they make it.
clear that serious consequences may
follow this condition unless it is soon
changed by an early return to in
dustry and economy
In word, they diagnose the condi-
ton as Premier Lloyd George did in a
recent speech to the British parlia.
ment:
I'VE have under-production and
over consumption; it cannot last
They say it is a fatal mistake to re-
duce the output of labor when tile
world needs production worse than
ever before, and when extravaganza is
added to this evil, disaster will GER
tainly follow a continuance of this
folly
The initiation of currency and credit
Is recognized as a dangerous condi-
tion and there is a general demand for
deflation. In this connection many in
sist that bankers should refuse loans
for speculative purposes and lend
freely to productive enterprises.
Some say we are passing through a
period of extravaganza, speculation
and decentralization that follows all
great wars, and as this is the greatest
and most destructive war that the
world ever saw, this period will be
more pronounced than ever before
Those who take this view suggest thai
time is the only solvent and a period
of four years is suggested as about
the time it will take to bring condi-
tions back to normal.
Several bankers hold that high prices
and wages will increase production
but more insist that these factors
do not operate under present condi-
tions because labor is not putting in
full time.
