PEACE TREATY AND

Even After President Had Agreed

EXACT FACTS GIVEN BY
SENATOR WOLCOTT

SO much confusion having been aroused
IN the public mind regarding the action
OF United States Senate in the matter of
the Peace Treaty and the League of
Nations Covenant, Caleb +. Burchenal ,
wcll-known Wilmington Democrat, has
recently written Senator Wolcott, 10
know the exact facts. The Senators letter
received by MIR. Burnhenal today, clarifies
the atmosphere. Senator Wolcott's letter
follows:
''The statement that the United States
Senate ratified the Peace Treaty, together
with the League of Nations Covenant, and
that the President rejected this action,
Is so dlametrically opposed to the facts
that | am surprised to learn from you
that this. statement is being rather in
dustriously circulated in parts of VIII
mington.
The fact is that on March 10. this
year, the Senate wound up its work on
this treaty, with the following resolution
offered by Senator Lodge and adopted
by vote Of AZ TO ~:
Resolved. That the Secretary Of
the Senate he instructed to return
70 the President the treaty of peace
with Germany signed at Versailles
on the 2sth day Of June. 1910. and
respectfully inform the President
that the Senate has failed to advise
and consent 20 the ratification of the
said treaty, being unable 10 obtain
the constitutional majority there

so that il is apparent that tho Treaty,
with its League of Nations Covenant.
never got through the Senate to the
President
THE controversy, AZ everybody knows !,
hinged mainly upon the question Of re-
servstions. The enemies Of the treaty
claim that the President would not toll

on his Is and the CROSSES on his IT'S
too scared To be disturbed wherever they

MAKE FINAL APPEAL
FOR DEBS AND STEDMAN
Socialis, Committee Declares All
Signs Indicate Tremendous.
Vote for Socialist Ticket.
By Associated Press TO Every ssenins


Chicago, Oct 26.--The national exec,i-
tive committee OF the Socialist party
issued final appeal here today, urging
Socialist supporters and sympathisers 70
vote for Eugene v Debs and Seymour
Stedman. nominees for President and
Nice-president respectively.
THE drift from the parties of capi-
talism has been conceded even by our
opponents II is admitted that ell signs
indicate tremendous vote for the Social
ist party candidates.
''The old twp-party balance Of power
is crImblIng. The dissolution Of these
two-party organizations Of the ruling
classes is almost as marked as the dis
solution Of the Whig and Democratic
parties In the North during the eight
years before the ascension Of Lincoln TO
the Presidency.
"The servility Of the Republican and
Democratic parties 10 the financial and
capitalistic oligarchy is as notorious as the
servility Of the Whig and Democratic
parties TO q handful Of slave owners and
stave traders in the declining DAYS Of
slavery. Their record Of domestic reaction
at home equals their record Of brutal
conquest overseas. II Democratic rule
of the mailed fist in Haiti and San Domin-
60 is q shocking record Of Brutal over
throw Of sister republics and military rule
in the interests Of American bankers.
it should not be forgotten that all this
has occurred without any protest from
Republican members Of Congress
at should not be forgotten that the
military heels that crush the aspirations
of the peoples of these two republics mere
ly follow the example set by the Repub-
licane In the conquest Of Hawaii and the
Philippines. American imperialism now
has half dozen little Belgiums TO the
one possessed by the former German rul-
ing class
While French imperialism seeks the
perpetual enslayement OF the masses of
central Europe, whether Cox's league or
Harding's association is realized, il means
an alliance OF the imperalistic powers 30
protect their booty taken In war, and to
keep their peoples overseas under the
military boots of imperiallstic administra-
tors. II means on this side of the world
the crushing of Mexican independence
and annemng Mexico to the United States
for intense exploitation by handful of
American oil and mining investors.
1t means monstrous policy of reaction
at home with its espionage, crushing of free
discussion and an independent press, and
general usurpation of power In behalf
of a militant Imperialism. Ii means the
wastage of our youth as conscripts abroad
In protecting the dollars of investors over
seas.
Against this dark future there shines
one beacon of hope, tremendous Socialist
vote. 1t remains for the awakened masses
to cast this vote for their own welfare"

RENEW EFFORT TO
END COAL STRIKE
British Government and Miners
Representatives Again in Con
ference Today.
By Associatedpress to Every Evening


London, Oct. 26.-Fornlal negotiations
between the government and the execu-
tive officers of the miners federation In
an effort TO settle the coal strike were re-
opened this morning, indicating that the
informal discussions which had been In
progress SINCE Sunday had proved salts
factory IN some measure at least.
The miners executive body had pre-
viously been In conference over the gov-
ernrnent's s new proposals and as a result of
Its deliberations 1t decided to begin formal
negotiations.
Il was reported from South Wales to-
day that the miners officials there had
before them yesterday the governments S
new formula on the wage question which
Is said to be based upon coal values. The
miners are TO get two shillings a day in
crease, but the future selling price of coal
will depend on production; that is, If pro-
duction falls below a certain level the
pr1ce of coal Will be increased to the house
holder; otherwise present prices will be
maintained.
Under this plan the miners, while re-
celvhg more wages, would cooperate with
the owners in preventing increased prices.
Both sides are silent regarding the
governments proposal, which, however
is believed to be framed along the lines
suggested by William Brace in the House
of Commons last week, that the shillings
increase be granted temporarily, pending
the creation OF a permanent wage board,
and the whole matter reviewed by the
end Of the year.
Before yesterdays conference Lloyd
George conferred with government experts
concerning a new set of figures for wages
Of the coal miners and production.
In the House Of Commons YESTERDAY
afternoon the premier said he was hopeful
the present negotiations would obviate
the necessity of setting up tribunal to
inquire into the best means of increasing
production
Contrary TO expectations, it was an
nounced by Bonar Law that the gov
ernment intended to proceed with the bill
introduced last week granting the govern
ment unusual powers for dealing with any
emergency growing out of the strike situa-
ton. He moved the second reading Of the
measure. He said the strike negotiations
had reached point when it was impossible
TO say anything whatever about them, but
that it was conceivable that a deadlock
might arise.
Newspapers continue hopeful, for the
most part, and express relief that the Ma
tional Union of RaiIwaymen decided to
defer calling strike. Such action, it is
will not be taken before
whatever happens.
