in time of danger he takes to the

that matter. he goes swimming for
pleasure. The water down there is

Senate Committee
Favors Embargo on
Exporting of Sugar

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-By a
vote of to 8, the senate agriculture
committee today ordered a favorable
report on the McNary bill providing
for an export embargo on sugar.
Those supporting the bill were
Senators McNary, of Oregon; Cap
per, of Kansas; Kenyon, of Iowa,
and Norris, of Nebraska, Republi-
cans; Harrison, of Mississippi, and
Kendrick, of Wyoming, Democrats.
Senator Smith, Of Georgia; Smith,
of South Carolina, and Ransdell, of
Louisiana, Democrats opposed it.
Before taking final action on the
measure the committee amended it
so as not to interfere with sugar
sent to the United States by foreign
countries or their nationals to be
refined. Early consideration of the
bill is planned by Senator McNary.
Final action was taken on the bill
after a series of heated sessions
which extended practically through
out the day yesterday.

WILSON HAS BOTH
SIDES GUESSING ON
NEXT TREATY MOVE
Lawrence Believes Present
\Idea of President Is to
Keep Pact at White House
Until Conventions Act
BY DAVID LAWRENCE

Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, May 28.-Presi-
dent Wilson not merely has his po-
lltical opponents. but his friends
guessing as to his next move in the
treaty situation, but unless the
president changes his mind abrupt
ly his present maneuver is to keep
the treaty Of Versailles in the White
House either until the two political
conventions have met and declared
themselves and a new disposition is
manifested toward the document or
until the American people have
shown by their votes that they sus-
tain or repudiate the present men,
bership of the senate.
The Republicans were eager for
the president to act on the Knox
peace resolution. The Democrats
didn't filibuster or engage in pro
longed debate but fastened the reso-
luton to the White House. The Re-
publicans expected the veto, but also
expected the treaty to come, back to
the senate with a statement of the
reservations he would accept. Then,
having selected Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge to make the keynote speech at
the Republican national convention,
the expectation was that the Massa-
chusetts senator would discuss the
phraseology of reservations and
that the issue again would ap-
pear to be only one of language. At
any rate it was believed the people
at the polls wouldn't be able to
distinguish between the Demo-
cratic or Republican kind of reserva-
tions and that the treaty question
would be lost in a maze of contro-
versies over domestic policies.
But the president is unwilling to
play into Republican hands. He
plans to make it as uncomfortable
as possible for his opponents. He
is waiting to see what the Republic
can national convention. with a tenn
porary chairman advocating ratifi-
cation of the treaty with reserva-
lions will do about nominating a
man who denounces the whole treaty,
reservations and all, namely Senators
Hiram Johnson or Philander C. Knox,
Playing Bold Hand
Mr., Wilson has consulted nobody
in the senate and has worked out
his own strategy. His tactics are
not altogether pleasing to his Dem
ocratic colleagues but they admit he
is playing bold hand and may sue
coed eventually in keeping the
treaty issue clear cut by retaining
the Versailles pact at the White
House.
Several senators on the Demo-
cratic side who are not particularly
in favor of the presidents supposed
plan, do nevertheless see various
grounds upon which Mr.. Wilson
could justify his action. The presi-
dent, as disclosed by his veto of
the Knox resolution, accepts the ac
ton of the senate in failing to pass
the peace treaty itself as final. He
argues that there is no need for
him to send the treaty back, as the
senate has notified him that it can
not pass. He appeals from the sem
ate to the American people. He

Less Than the Required
TWo-Thirds Majority to

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The
Knox peace resolution was killed to-
day by the action of the house in
refusing to override President Will
sons veto of the measure.
The vote was 219 for overriding
and 152 against, or 29 less than the

Two Republicans, Representatives

presidents veto, while seventeen
Democrats Joined the Republican ma
1ority in an effort to override it.
This was two less than the num-

resolution when it was passed by

to override the veto were:
