PRESIDENT WOULD
WITHDRAW TREATY
His Recent Note to Allies SAYS
the Move Nay Become
Necessary,
AGAINST FluME SETTLEMENT
Wilson Says Ratification Now Would
Mean Subscribing TO Adriatie
Agreement Opposed by U. S.

Washington.-AlIied supreme coun-
ell has been informed by President
Wilson, it was disclosed recently, that
if the proposed Adriatic settlement to
which the American government is
not a party, is put into force the
United States might have to consider
withdrawing the treaty of Versailles
from senate consideration.
The Presidents communication was
not in the nature of a threat in the
common sense of the term, 1t was
said, but was merely a statement of
4 situation in which the United States
might find herself if asked to sub
scribe to agreements in which it had
was opposed.
Couldn't Enforce Terms.
The explanation was made in Off
ciaI quarters that the League of Ma
tons was to be the instrument for
enforcing various arguments as TO
boundaries and the like, and that if
the United States became a party to
the treaty of Versailles it thus would
be subscribing to the enforcement of
agreements to which it had not given
either its approval or consent
1t was explained further that The
Anglo-F'rench-Americ treaty and the
treaty of Versailles were considered
inseparable insofar as this question
was concerned and that if a situation
arose where the President would have
to consider Withdrawing the latter he
also would have to consider withdraw
ing the former

Wilson's communication contained d
postscript bearing a threat to with

was recognized as erroneous as soon
as it came to the attention of other
officials. Obviously it did not come
from President Wilson himself, and it
was later explained that those who
made the statement had spoken with
out full and complete information.

thousand d-dollar per-mile investment
in the community.
There IS certainly no injustice 10
property owners in applying this
principal and il is no new scheme. II
is iden,ically the same principle that
Is in operation in every town and city
in this country that has hard-surface
streets. and every argument which
Mr. Bivens makes against il can with
equal consistency be made against re-
quiring abutting property holders in
towns and cities TO pay for certain
per cent OF paving the streets with
hard-sulface. Jcst as farm land on a
hard-suriace highway will not pro-
duee boil more cotton or an ear
more corn by reason of the road. "
likewise the town gardens and truck
patches will not produce any more
vegetables by reason of the hard-sur-
face streets. or course the abutting
property is greatly enhanced IN value.
Occasionally an old man sees the
''home of his childhood and herit-
age of his father take on its part
OF this enhancing community value.
as a result of substituting permanent
hard surface for red mud in the
street. but has anybody ever heard
of a man in his right mind weeping
over enhancing values or selling the
old homestead in town because he
was assessed certain per cent of
the cost of putting down the hard
surface. which rarely ever amounts
tc one-tenth the enhanced value that
has come 10 the property as result
of the investment? For instance, in
the town OF Monroe. which in recent
wears has converted many of its
principal streets from filth and mud
into the cleanest streets in the State
was there any injustice in requiring
the abutting land holders in town to
pay port OF the cost? As yet there
are many resident streets in Monroe
that are not hard-surfaced. To re-
quire the property owners on the un-
paved streets to pay as much of the
cost of paving on on streets remote
from them as the resident beneticl-
aries pay. would he gross injustice
the kind that Is not tolerated by
any credilahle town or city govern
