It was no less a person than Shake
speare's Hamlet who asserted that
there was something rotten in Den
mark. But whatever truth there may
have been in that assertion. American
butter interests today readily acknowl-
edge that there is nothing impure in
Denmark's butter
Danish butter usually is Of very
good quality. That, in fact. is the
reason that dairy and butter interests
in the United States have been look
ing with a suggestion of concern
more than is deserved, perhaps-on
the importation of Danish butter which
has been taking place at New York
recently at the rate of several hun
dred casks weekly, each cask weigh
ing 112 pounds. Experts use this
incident to emphasize the lesson which
Denmark's success in the butter bust
ness teaches with respect to stand
ardization. While perhaps the great
est value resulting from the applica-
ton of standards in Denmark lies in
its benefit to that cOuntry's export but
Ter ITduS, III America corresponding
benefit could be enjoyed in domestic
trade, since our home butter con-
sumption normally far exceeds our ex-
ports.
A Recognized Brand.
The Danish government has brand
which the law provides can be placed
on all butter meeting certain rather
exacting requirements. This is the
brand to be found on the casks which
have been arriving at New York and
which is recognized the world over as
a guaranty of good quality. Experts
in American dairy marketing problems
point to the value of the Danish Of
fetal mark not with the idea of adj
vocating that this government adopt
a similar plan of officially branding
butter, but to emphasize the value
which results from adopting recog-
nized standards. They call attention
to the fact that America is producing
much butter which scores as high
or higher than the Danish impOrta-
lions.
In some cases private brands are
well enough known to profit fully by

lhe subject technically under con-
slderation, a motion by Senator
Lodge to modify the republican res
ervatlon on withdrawal, was not
mentioned until late in the day when
Mr.: Lodge took the floor to ex-
plain briefly his reasons for mov-
ing for the change.
When the debate was reopened
the private negotiations for a COM
promise apparently passed the dol
drums and some of the treaty's
most active friends on both sides
of the chamber predicted there
probably would be no settlement un-
til discussion on the floor had spent
itself.
Present Resolutions.
Acting under an agreement with
democratic leaders, Senator Lodge
asked unanimous consent that the
treaty be taken up and then pre-
sented the first of the proposed res
ervation changes he made public last
week. His amendment would make
the withdrawal reservations stipu-
late that notice of withdrawal from
membership in the league of nations
could be given "by the president or
by congress acting alone whenever
the majority of both houses may
deem it necessary" In the original
draft, the notice might be given "by
a concurrent resolution of the con-
gress of the United States"
The modification was proposed,
said the majority leader. because the
reservations as previously worded
would be wholly ineffective" in per-
mitting majority OF congress to
take the nation out of the league.
Although considered by the BIZ
partisan conference, the modifica-
tion was not agreed on there and
Senator Hitchcock indicated that he
and many other democrats expected
to vote against it.
Most senator's were inclined to
believe that It might be several days
before action was reached on any
proposals to modify the "A repub-
lican reservations adopted at the
