TREATY SITUATION VARI-
OUSLY REGARDED.

As a result of the President s
letter to the jackson Day diners
and Bryan's speech on that I'M
portant occasion expressions OF
opinion by public men regarding
the possibility of treaty ratifca-
ton and the treaty situation are
of special interest.
BY many Democratic Senators
the opinion is expressed that
there is still opportunity to ratify
the treaty with compromise res
ervations and it is said that eff
forts to accomplish that end will
be continued Notwithstanding the
President s letter. In this con
nection Senator Hitchcock, the
Acting Democratic leader, said
yesterday; President Wilson s
letter does not shut the door to
compromise. but it marks the
limit of compromise. | consider
it an endorsement of what the
Democrats have done thus far
with respect to reservations. "
"The "Mild" reservationists
of the Republican group are also
insisting that they will continue
their ecorts to reach COM
promise on the treaty. The re
mainder Of the majority party
Senators, however, seem inclined
for the most part to feel that the
Presidents letter makes refer
ence Of the treaty question to the
people at the 1920 elections IL
evitable.
A surprising feature of the sit
uation is the fact that, to many
Senator's. the Presidents letter,
instead of ending talk of com
promise as might well have been
has stimulated the de-
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-01-17

sire to reach a compromise. As
result of this telling a number
of Democratic Senators called on
Senator Lodge, the Republican
leader, yesterday and urged him
to do all that he could to promote
spirit Of compromise.
A dispatch from Mr.. Taft, who
is now at Portland. Oregon, states
that he opposes making the treaty
campaign issue and favors the
earliest possible compromise. He
said that is the treaty became IA
campaign issue it would be four
teen months before anything like
a settlement could be reached,
and he considered it doubtful L
even then it could be accomp-
1ished. He further said that it is
essential that world peace be Sc
cured promptly and on the best
possible terms through COM
promise.
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-01-17

back it is said that Louisiana
would have made its banner rice
crop in the last year.
The cotton crop also was a
short one, estimated at 100000
bales. This was due largely to
the excessive rains during the
growing and picking seasons, re-
sulting in grassy fields and the
abandonment of a large acreage.
The boil weevil and army worm
also did enormous damage to this
crap.
The third largest crop of the
state was corn, estimated at 49,
$4,000 bushels with a value Of
$48, $4,000.
The sugar cane crop Of 1919 in
the state was one of the shortest
since records have been kept. The
trouble began with poor seed and
was further augmented bv unfaN
orable climatic conditions, scare
itv and high prices of labor, etc,
resulting in grassy fields, uneven
stands and low yields.
