SAYS RESERVATIONS
CHANGE CONTRACT

II the peace treaty is ratified with the
Lodge reservations included the whole
treaty would have 10 be acted upon a
second time by the allied Powers and
Germany, according to George w. Wick
ersham, formerly United States Attorney
General Mr. Wickersham takes this
ground in a letter sent in response to a
request from the New York State branch
of the League TO Enforce Peace that he
express his opinion of the so-called Lodge
reservations. ~.
Mr. Wickersham takes his ground on
the point that the Lodge reservations
essentially change the contract entered
into by the Powers engaged in the world
war.
"It is familiar elementary law he de-
clares, chat If one party to written
contract makes his concurrence in 1t sub
ject to conditions which materially vary
the terms of the agreement the minds OF
the parties do not meet and there is no
contract. In my opinion, some OF these
reservations do impose conditions to the
proposed assent OF the United states which
are so Materially at variance with the
terms of the peace treaty that ratification
by the United States made expressly con-
ditioned upon tho acceptance of such mod
ificatons would require tho assent and
agreement of all the other parties to the
treaty in order to make it valid and
binding instrument"
Mr. Wckersham cites the fourth reser-
vation as demonstration of his claim.
Article XIV. of the League provides that
the Council of the League shall determine
whether or not any particular dispute
submitted for its consideration is domestic
in its character.
The fourth reservation declares that
ali domestic and political questions relat-
ing wholly or In part TO its internal affairs.
including immigration, labor. coastwise
traffic, the tariff. commerce. the sup
preston Of traffic in women and children
and in opium and other dangerous drugs
and other domestic questions are solely
within the Jurisdiction of tho United
States, and are not under this treaty 10
be submitted in any way either to arbitra-
tion or TO the consideration of the Council
or of the Assembly of the League OF
Nations, or any agency thereof or to the
decision or recommendation OF any other
power.
This, Mr. Wickersham thinks, constitutes
u material modification of the provisions
Of the covenant lie cites othor rescrya-
tons a IS being essentially al variance WITH
the spirit of the peace treaty contract,
notably the one in which the United States
reserves tho right TO increase. her anna
ment. in contrast with the article Of the
loasue which declares for decreased arina-
ments.
Il might hazard a prediction" says Mr..
WicSersham at the close of his lcttes.
that before much time shall have elapsed
the good sense and the practical Judgment
of the American people and the American
government will prompt an effort tore
move many. II not all, OF these restrictions
to the complete eftectuation OF the pur-
poses of the league-purposes which can
only be achieved by the existence of mu-
teal confidence among it's members and a
comman cesire 20 carry out the aims an
object OF its establishment"

MINERS IMPERIL
/. GERMAN INDUSTRY
Determined Stand for Six Hour Day
Endangers Manufacturing
Programme.
(specia, Gable to the Hero1d.) }

BERLIN, Sunday-Insistenc of the
coal miners that a six hour day be pro
vided is endangering anew Germany s
manufacturing programme. The miners
have indicated they will stand out for
these terms in the negotiations to be held
aeXt month
The government intends, however, TO
take the stand that while the demand for
the six hour day intrinscally is just yet
it's introduction in Germany would be a
severe blow to German industry untisthe
same working day is adopted by other
countries and IN particular. England. The
government will supervise the negotia-
tions.
Vorwaerts, the. organ of the moderate
Socialists, In an article yesterday pub
lished a comparison of English and Ger
man labor conditions, in which it pointed
out that the seven hour day in England,
being a full working period. is three
fourths of an hour longer than the Ger
man sevel hour day, which includes time
for reaching the work. Even with six
hour day in England the day would be
only fifteen minutes shorter than the pres
ent German shift.
German industry in November received
2,9O0, 900 tons of coal and peat out of a
total production of 10,5O0,0C0 tons. If the
six hour day were introduced 1t would
reduce the production 1,450,0oo tons month
ly, which must be at the expense of in
dustry. In other words, manufacture
would be deprived of fifty per cent of its
fuel.
Then there is another possibility, that
the Allies may require the delivery of the
full quota of coal under the terms of the
peace treaty. In November the Allies re-
ceved $4,000 tons of fuel out of $4,000
tons Should the entire amount be in
sisted upon and the six hour day be intro
duced, German industry would be reduced
to ten per cent of the present supply.
The coal situation gives an accurate
picture of industrial conditions today.
Befo~e the war the total coal and fuel out
put was 170000.O00 tons, of which industry
received 100000. The plan of the Minis
try Of Economics was 10 furnish industry
this year with 45.0O0,0o0 tons, which took
into account the factories lost in The terri
tories taken by the peace treaty and rep
resented an additional curtailment be-
cause of hard times, OF thirty per cent
But the calculation could not be carried
ont and tha year will see hardly more than
100000 tons delivered to the German
factories.
Next year. unless a six hour day should
be granted, the amount can be raised
considerably by an extension of the coal
industry, but there is no plan by which.
even in years. the German industry can
receive the. full seryice of peace times.
Thcspresent tepSpestuouss atmosphere of
Gcruany Is hardly fitted for holding nego-
tations with unions so radical as those of
the miners, which, for the present good
OF German industry, must end by the re-
fusal to grant their principal demand
