 DEFENDS SELF FROM
 CHARGE OF TREASON
IRepubIican A. p. Leased WireI

PARIS. Feb. 20-That he had never championed a policy of closer rela- tions with Germany. but one of Flu ropean conciliation,' and might have been guilty of imprudence and impul- siveness, but never of intelligence with the enemy, proved to be the opening defense of Joseph CaillauN. former premier, charged with reasonable dealings with the enemy, on the re- sumption of his trial today before the senate, sitting as high court.
 The examination of NJ. CaillauX GOV cred his trip to South America late in 1914 and early in 1915. The name of James Minotto. son-in-law of Louis F. Swift of Chicago who was interned in the United States as an alien enemy in 1918, was frequently mentioned throughout the interroga- - tions by Leon Bourgeois, president of the senate. NJ. Caillaux, in reply, claimed to have been fooled by Minot to, as numerous others had been fooled, he said. He had every reason to believe Minotto was respectable, he said, as be had been youched for by many prominent Frenchmen. He de- clared he was introduced to Minotto by Edwin V. Morgan, the American am- bassador at Rio Janeiro.
 M. Caillaux disposed of Minotto by saying that he was one of the numer ous spies who infested his trail while in South America, the German minis ter at Rio Janeiro. after the result of M. Caillaux's efforts. having request ed Berlin to place 100000 marks at his disposal to have NJ. Caillaux shad- owed continually.
 Experts will tell you I have not profited by this war; l am a poorer man now than I was in 1914,' declared M. Caillaux after reading letter from Edmundo de Olivera. who was delegated by the Brazilian ministry of foreign affairs to accompany M Caillaux throughout his visit to Brazil In the letter De Olivera stated that NJ. Caillaux had always been a great patriot and hoped for the final victory of France.

Johnson Disagrees
 With Root s Opinion
 On League Reforms

WASHINGTON, Feb- 20-Direct dis agreement with Elihu Roots opinion of the peace treaty as political issue was expressed yesterday in a speech to xhss unofficial state convention of New York republicans. was voiced tonight by senator Hiram Johnson of California a candidate for the republican presi- slential nomination.
 In a formal statement, Senator John son declared 1t would be neither fair to the other members of the league nor to the people of the United States, to enter the league. as MT. Root suggested and then have the president inaugur- 4red next March take steps to reform she league covenant
 --I can not subscribe to any such Scetrine's the statement continued.
 If the league establishes a rule of sxpediency rather than d rule of pub lie right. as Mir. Root says 1t does then 1t is neither wise nor statesmanlike for the United States to become q party TO the present covenant for the brief space Of a few months.
 If the league is all that MT. Root says it is, then the time to reform it is not on the fifth of March, 1921, but now. If it presents all the dangers to the United States which MT. Root ascribes, then the time to avoid it's dangers is now, and not after we have srrevocably become a party to it.

REDRAF TED MEASURE WOULD TIGHTEN THE CONTROL ON PACKERS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O-Increased government supervision over the pack ing industry was recommended 10 the senate today by Sena tor GrOnna, re- publican, Of North Dakota, by report ing favorably the Kenyon -Kindrick bill as redrafted by the agriculture committee.
 Under it's provisions a federal live stock commission would be created to supervise the packers, livestock mar kets and market agencies, and the packers would be prohibited from deal inS in foodstuffs other than livestock products where competition would be 1eSsened; from apportioning territory or purchases or arranging or agreeing to control prices, nd from driving competitors out of business. It would also require them within two years after final passage of the bill to re- linquish ownership of interests in stccl(yards.
 ''The measure seeks to establish for this industry" the TeI-ort said; "a de- gree of public supervision comparable to that which has long been exercised over the railroads by the interstate commerce commission.
 'The enactment of this bill is recom- mended upon the ground that the great public markets, in which is handled the livestock that supplies the demand for the American consumption of nineteen billion pounds of meat and meat products annually, are public utilities and that as such, they should be subject to supervision by an of ficial agency which will reveal all the facts having to do with their operation and which will be enabled to proclaim these facts with the voice of authority to all interested parties.'
 Disclosures by the department of justice, the report said, have revealed the existence of what is an unhealthy condition in this industry" while courst can not provide an adequate remedy to meet the situation.
 ''The only alternative', the report added, ''is to establish an executive agency which shall be definitely clothed with sufficient power to prevent the again in this industry of those conditions which have hereto fore been the subject to so many in- vestigations and which have given rise to so much suspicion and distrust.
 Ut is believed that this measure will meet the demands of all the great farm organizations and that it will prove to consumers, from both of which classes have come the inn perative call for legislation

 The close committee vote of II to 9, coming as a climax of three hour debate in executive session. was re- gar4ieG Is indicative of the bitter fight to be made iii the house when the reorganization measure comes up.

TRepubIican A. D. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb 20. = Both sides lined up in the house today for a big fight tomorrow on the railroad reorganization bill.
 As forerunner, debate was opened informally today by both supporters and opponents of the compromise measure, but the main efforts of both were centered in rallying strength. Supporters of the bill were confident that the compromise would win house indorsement by a substantial margin. Opponents maintain d that the vote would be close
 The redrafted bill is opposed by a majority of the democrats and also by members. regardless of political affilia- tion, friendly toward labor. There also are some republicans opposed to the general principles of the bill, but the majority of them favored the measure as it stands and expect with the aid of at least a score of democrats to bring about final passage before adjournment
 Democrats Only Speakers
 Three democratic members were the only ones to bring the subject of railroad legislation before the house to- day. their discussion serving to indi- cate the final line up. Representatives Blanton, Texas, denounced labor for it's attitude toward the bill; Representa- tive Huddleston, Alabama, condemned the bill as assuring the political de- feat of any member voting for .>1 passage. and Representative Rayburn of Texas, member of the interstate commerce commission that framed the bill. brought forth continued applause from both sides of the chamber by making a strong appeal for adoption of the conference report
 Answering Representative HuddIes- tons attack. MT. Rayburn declared that it was not the labor section to which Samuel Gompers and labor leaders objected.
 There is not man in this country who could write a bill for the return of the roads that could satisfy Com pers and his assistants" Mir. Rayburn declared. Tt is hard enough for the committee to unscramble the situation and it is well for us to remember as the labor leaders know, that if the roads are held for two years it means what labor leaders want-government ownership and government ownership only
