f tho "mild reservationists," said. in

Of tho "mild reservationists," said, in
part:
"The President Of the United States,
unable to secure ratification of the
treaty presented by him, as formulated
by the Versailles conference. has SO far
thrown the weight Of his great Office in
opposition to the ratification of the
instrument as modified by Senate reser-
vations, with the hope of compelling
unreserved ratification.
while he is thus watchfully waiting,
divers candidates for Presidential
nomination are touring the country
with the hope of engendering such q
as shall prevent the adoption Of any
league of nations provision in any
treaty that may be presented
If the President would tomorrow
say, i have exercised my constitu-
tional prerogative and power in pre-
senting to the Senate this treaty for
its advice and consent, and it is now
up to the Senate to perform it's pre-
rogative and power and to each Senator
to exercise his own Judgment the
treaty would be ratified before another
sundown.
$50, too, if those opponents who are
would consent to eliminate some of the
provisions Of their reservations, which
are admittedly unnecessary, which are
discourteous, to say the least, in their
wording, dictatorial in their style and
embarrassing to friendly powers. this
country and waiting world would be
relieved Immediately Of further sus-
pense.
"The contest in this country has
spent most of it's force on reservations
concerning Article X. 1t is claimed by
the President that the reservation
adopted to this article takes the heart
out of it. While I should prefer the
article as written. l cannot agree with
the contention Of the President"
"A New Sim Feinism"
Senator McCumber declared that the
"heart" of the article was in the agree
ment Of the contracting nations to IRE
spect the territorial integrity and
political independence" Of one another,
and that the reserva ton, disclaiming
on the part of the United States any
obligation to defend that integrity and
independence did not weaken that un-
dcrtaking.
"If each nation,' he said, "maintains
its faith with the others there will
never arise the necessity to send

CHRISTMAS IN THE
HOME STORES

If the people of St. Johnsbury
and Newport are wise, they will
not send out of town single
dollar of their Christmas money.
The home stores can afford TO
sell cheaper than the big city es-
tabIshmentS, because their over
head and operating costs are less.
And their close touch with the
great wholesale markets enables
them TO offer everything that an
up TO date community can desire
for the holiday and winter sup
lies.
1t takes great deal of enter
Prise for business men to invest
the big sums of money that are
tied up in these stocks. If YOU
want your home town to reach
still greater pro, perity, it j., a
mighty good idea to back up
your home merchants when they
branch GU: in such a courageous
way, and lay in 2saortments that
IN some previous years would
have been considered imposs. bic
except in much larger cite.
1t IS pleasure to walk through
these bright store. 50 taeming
with the products Of American
energy and 20 responsive to all
the needs Of highly developed
community. 1t Gives one q thrill
l1g sense OF achievement to see
what the producer is doing to
minister to r'oIeln needs. and
how the retail distributor hos
combed the world to provide the
things the neoplc want. The mer-
chantt of these tradino centers
are anxious for their towns
people, and visitors from far and
ncar. to come in and get the
whole story Of their Christmas
preparation. and see what
splendid developing of modern
merchandising spirit they have to
di,nlav.
If oil the Christmas money
tta+ this community snends can
be kept at home it will bring 4
wave Of prosperity that will be
felt the year around in ali local
activities.
