BRYAN MAKES PUBLIC
 VERSAILLES TREATY PLANK

San Francisco. June 2s.-Ratifcation of the treaty of Versailles with such res ervations as a senate majority approves is proposed in the plank of William J. Bryan deal A with the treaty and league of na,.ons.
 The Nebraskan tonight made public his plank which is to go before the resolu- tions committee. It follows:
 The democratic party demands an amendment to the federal constitution providing for ratification of treaties by a majority vote so that it will be as easy to end awar as it is to declare war Planting ourselves upon the most funda- mental principles of popular government, namely, the right of the people to rule a doctrine in support of which we have recently spent over twenty-five billions of dollars and for which we have sacrificed 10O.000 precious lives-we favor an inn mediate reconvening of the senate that i this principle may be applied to treaty | controversy and ratification secured with l such reservations as a majority of the | senators may agree upon, reserving for | the future the making of such changes as we may deem necessary
 1 We favor appointment by the presi- dent, with consent of the senate, of dele l gates to represent this nation in the league until regularly chosen delegates | are elected and qualiedf.
 We favor the selection of the nations delegates in the league of nations by popular vote in districts, in order that the people may speak through representatives of their own choice in the august tribunal which will consider the welfare of the | world.
 These delegates should be instructed
 not to vote for war without specific in structions from congress or from tn,
 people. given by referendum vote.
 Our nations delegates should also b,
 instructed to insist upon the disarmament
 of the world in order that the burden O
 militarism may be lifted from thu
 shoulders of those who toll and tn foundation of an enduring peace laid il friendship and cooperation"
 The plank follows Mir Brysus demand
 for majority rule and was regarded a fundamentally opposed to the admnistra ! tion's desire for declaration for ratifica tion without destructive reservations.
