I'm July of last year the president
submitted to the senate for it's advice
and consent, in accordance with the
constitution, the treaty with Germany.
Through his insistence there had
been made part of the treaty cove
nant for a league of nations, the alleged
purpose of which was to secure perma-
nent peace throughout the world.
'The president knew long before the
treaty was signed in Paris that it could
not be ratified if 1t contained this cove
nant in the form in which it was pro-
posed, and he, and he alone, is respon-
sible for the failure to consummate

many.
There may be some republicans who
believe that the league of nations should
| have been approved just as it came
from Paris, but their number is so small
that they become negligible when com
pared with the overwhelming majority
who insist either upon substantial res
ervations or upon entire protection.
There has not been and is not now
a single republican member OF the SEN
ate of the United States in favor of rati.
fication in the form in which the presi
dent demands. All the republican sen
ators have consistently voted for sub
stantial, material reservations. NJ About
threefOurths of them are in favor Of
ratification with these reservations, and
about one-fourth of them are opposed
to it even with the reservations"
According to Senator Cummins the
reservations adopted by the senate are
intended to: 3b4R "a

speaker maintained.
This situation presents one of the

Talks Of Railroads &
The enactment of the law for the re-
turn of the railroads to private opera
ton and the enlargement of the powers
of the interstate commerce commission
respecting their future regulation and
control the senator reclared "one OF
the notable achievements or the repuD.
lican congress now in session."
while some of the democrats in
both senate and house loyalty and
periodically assisted in this long and
laboriOus task, it is, nevertheless,
measure for which the republican party
is responsible, and we must stand or
fall upon the judgment which the peo-
pie shall render with respect to it,. the
speaker said.
1.-THE position of the administration
upon this subject was that the govern.
ment should remain in possession and
operation of the railroads for at least
two years more and preferably five
years more and that view was urged
strongly upon the committees of con.
gress by the director general of his as
sociates. in SUPPORT of this position
there came before us several organtza-
tons which it niay be3well to remember
as the subject is4developeds B u 4

posite body made, up Of some of the. rail.
way bi'otherhoods andf5S labor unIons
whose ultimate plan was the purchase
of, the railroads by the governmentsand
their operation by board of two-thiras
Off which was to be composed of rail
ROAD employees. The position was also
maintatled by an alleged farmers or.
ganization whose activities are largely
confined to Washington and which is
engaged in propagating the most ad.
Yanced theories Of socialism. In this
situation, the first question which CON
gress had to decide was whether the
government should continue in posses
sion and operation of the railroads un.

The senator briefly reviewed thecon-
sequences of government operation 70

that is, until March /, 1920. When "

81 600, 900 900. The government admits
a loss OF more than $850,000,0OO, and
when the disputed claims are given fair
consideration a loss Of $1,0O, 1000 is an
underestimate rather than an oVerestl-
mate of the final outcome. This vast
deficit must be paid from the treasury
of the United States, and the taxpayers
of the country must, of course, furnish
the money The loss is somewhat more
than $1,OOO,O0O per day and this not.
withstanding the fact that toward the
middle of the year 1918 the director gen
eral increased the rates of transporta-
ton so that the aggregate annual in
crease approximated $3.50. 900 900.
The speaker acknowledged the part
he had taken in the preparation and
passage of the law providing for the re.
turn and operation of the roads. and
hailed the law as "a great forward step
in progressive and constructive legisla-
ton covering in a comprehensive way
the most important subject which has
ever been presented to the congress Of
the United States"
II accept my full share of the respon-
sibility which attaches to the enact.
ment of the law and l am ready here,
now and everywhere to defend it," he
said. 4.

Edward A. Filene, of Boston. that
