LONDON PRESS COMMENT ON
 TREATY FAILURE IN SENATE

London, March 22-The London Times, in a long editorial on the re- jection of the peace treaty by the United States senate, says that the 'rout of President Wilson is for the time being complete" and expresses fear that the prospect of the treaty and league of nations being the lead ing issue in the coming campaign must be accepted.
 Tt is a regrettable prospect for all the world. and particularly for our selves" says the Times. "Nonetheless, we adhere to the belief which we share with Lord Grey, that the Ameri- can people are unlikely in the long run to withdraw their influence in world affairs or to be satisfied with playing only a small part in the league of ma tinns.''
 Referring to the warning of it's Washington correspondent that Eng land in the campaign will be de- nounced as the oppressor of Ireland Persia, India and Egypt, and the SUD- porter, together with France, of the new imperialism" the Times says: we l > e gone through the same sort of storms before, though this one promises to be exceptionally violent, and they have not hurt us very much, ,
 The Herald 0aborl in an editorial extremely regrets that the United States senate in it's refusal to ratifv the treaty missed another great on- portunity "because the treaty sadly needs mending, and the United States could, until this f-excommunicat ton, have demanded and compelled the ere. atior of real league of peoples based on disarmament and self -determina- tiOn"

Washington. March 21.-Although active steps to declare a state of peace by congressional resolution are not expected until late this week, re- publican leaders of tho aenate and house are to begin conferences to- morrow on the exact form such dec laration should take.
 Some senators and representatives want to phrase the peace measure in the simplest affirmative terms. other prefer to repeal the declaration of war and go on record as demanding certain concessions from Germany, while still others are for inclusion of some sort of a declaration of interna- tional policy.
 The principal opposition to a policy declaration is expected to come from the treaty irreconcilables in the sen ate. some of whom have told the ma jority leaders they consider the time inopportune for congress to take any binding stand on the subject. These senators do not like even the pending peace resolution by Senator Knox, republican. Pennsylvania, which re- affirms the belief of congress in an in- ternational tribunal and disarma. ment.

 DRY GOODS FROM NORWAY

Christiania, Norway, March 20.- American representatives are trying to repul chase dry goods and wearing ap p5 re bought from the United States iron, 1918 to 1920 for re-export to the Unit>d States, as the prices of these commodities are 50 per cent. lower than those now prevailing in the American markets. Immediately after the war Norway was flooded with American dry goods and wearing ap- parel and Norwegian firms placed large orders in America for further delivery.
 The Norwcr'an embargo now in force prohT / such export as de- manded by t4Ie American represe1 ta- tives. Much of the American goods bought by Norwegian firms but not vet shipped from the United States has been resold to Americans there, as the high dollar rate prevents It's ma srketing here. The American ex- port market for Norway Is practically closed. as the Norwegians are now unable to buy American goods because of the unfavorable rate of exchange.

Surprise is evidenced by most of the Turks, who refused to believe that the spells be- long to the victor.
 The sultan issued an exhortation to his subjects yesterday to pursue their usual vacations III peace, re- gardless of foreign occupation. Mean time a British warship was steaming towards Malta carrying Reouf Bey and many others of the nationalist leaders who were supporting Musta- pha KemaPs opposition to the dis menberment of Turkey and were rounded up in a raid on Constantino- pie preceding it's occupation.
 The nationalists charge the sultan with treachery, and say he lacks courage and patriotism. The sultan $ cabinet threatened to resign, but af- ter several meetings decided to retain office. Although it is reported the chamber is prepared to give the new cabinet a vote of confidence, no meet i ing of the body was held today, mos of it's members being in hiding.

NEW YORK LANDLORDS TO
 FIGHT FIXING OF RENTALS

New York. March 21.-Further in- creases in apartment house rents in this city within the next two or three years were predicted today by Stew art Browne, president of the United Real Estate Owners Assoc1ation.
 He spoke at a mass meeting of land- lords, at which vehement protest was voiced agNlst proposed legislation to fix rentals. The 400 property owners present authorized him to appoint a committee of landlords to go to Albany next Tuesday to start an active cam paign against enactment of such measures.
 Remedial legislation to protect the landlords was urged by MT. Browne. Rent increases are bound to come he asserted, and there is no stopping them.
 However he said, there is no use of landlords killing the goose that lays the golden egg. These increases must not come ar once. They must be arrived at slowfJ and they must not be jabbed in too soon." q cannot shut my eyes to the fact that rent proffteering is in existence It first started with the small owner and then spread, and there is no deny i ing that it has spread from the shyster to millionaire. You must ac- 1 cept that as tact.
 | Present conditions are due to tho i war and the governments require i ments during the war. There are nov 1 1,25O,0O0 tenants. many of them wht ! can't stand further raises, but I hay' it on good authority that there arr only about 50000 tenants who canno find accommodations. l urge the nee' for constructive legislation"
 MT. Browne was interrupted whel he said landlords ought to be satis fled with a net pro sA of 20 per cent. O their realty investments. Cries c "No, no, that isn't enough" came fror different parts of the room.
 John Becker, property owner jumped up and said:
 we want all the income We ca possibly get; the same as labor"
 Great Scott! If you get 20 per cen you ought to be happy forever" re
 torted Browne.
 Mir. Browne said there was littl
 possibility of new building to any ex
 tent within the next ten years, add
 ing:
 Rents will never get back to th
 pre-war basis"
 Mrs. Rachel Ellison, another proper
 ty owner tried unsuccessfully to hay a resolution passed taxing every lanG lord $10 toward a fund to fight ter , ants who may take action under u | new laws. When her motion was ts
 bled she remarked the matter lis a . ready being cared for"

For the present. however. the Knox resolution has the right of way so far as the senate programme is concern ed. It was reported by the foreign relations committee in December and unless present plans are changed will form the basis of opening discussion of the subject late this week on the senate floor.
 In the house the situation Is less definite. the republican leaders there having formulated no policy. In De- cember they declined to let the ques- tion of a peace declaration come up at all, but many house members be- lieve the case may be different now that the senate again has refused to ratify the treaty. The house foreign affairs committee already has several peace measures before it and Repre- sentative Britten. republican. Illinois. announced tonight that he would in- troduce another tomorrow
 With the treaty back at the White House and plans for a peace decla- ration still in their formative stage, a respite of several days generally Is expected in congressional debate on | the issues raised in connection with l the establishment of peace.
