SENATE NOT A
UNIT QUESTION
COLOMBIA PACT
Harding Plea of Early
Ratification Meets
Opposition
President Believes Favorable
Action Would Restore Good
Feeling Between U. S. and
Latin America - May Go
Over to April Session

Washington, Mar. "a special
message sent by Pres. Harding to the
Senatetoday asking early ratification
of the $25.Oo0,000 treaty with Colon
bia Immediately started a vigorous
controversy, with a considerable
group of Republicans aligned in op-
position.
It was the xecutive's first congress
sional message and, as anticipated,
developed the first open differences
between Senate Republicans. The
communication was brief and was
understood to have recommended rat
ification of the long delayed treaty
principally on the ground that such
action would improve relations be-
tween the United States and Colona-
bia, and have beneficial effect on
relations between the United States
and all of Latin America. Publica-
ton of the message, read in an ex-
ecutiye session Of the Senate, was de-
ferred.
Immediate action on the treaty at
the present extra session of the Sen
ate was urged by Senator Lodge. but
objections came from both Republic
ans and Democrats and the matter
went over until tomorrow, together
with a proposal to discuss the treaty
in open session.
Postponement Of the treaty's con-
sideration until the April session of
Congress appeared probable. Leaders
among advocates and opponents of
the treaty started negotiations and
tomorrow it was hoped that an
agreement might Der cached which
would defer consideration until next
month, limit debate after the Senate
reassembles in April and fix a definite
date for a final vote. If the treaty is
set aside until the April session, lead
ers tonight said that the extra Senate
session might terminate next Satur-
day. Should the Senate proceed at
once with the treaty it was predicted
generally that the extra session
would continue right into the April
session.
Differences over the treaty appear
ed principally among Republicans.
Most of the Democratic senators were
reported TO favor ratification, of the
treaty which the Wilson administra-
ton had negotiated in 1914. Prom
inent among reputed opponents in
the Republican ranks were Senators
Borah, Kenyon, Kellogg, Lenroot,
Johnson and Nelson. Most of the
newly elected Republican senators
were counted as supporters of the
treaty.

HARDING REPLIES TO
GOOD WILL NOTES
OF FOREIGN RULERS

Washington, Mar 9-Messages of
felicitation exchanged by President
Harding and number of foreign
rulers, expressing hopes for peace
and friendship throughout the
world, were made public today at
the White House. A note of eco
nomic as well as political co-opera-
ton was sounded in the exchange
between Mr.. Harding and President
Millerand Of France, while most of
the messages that passed with South
and Central America were voiced a
renewed pledge of Pan-American
solidarity. The message reported in
press dispatches as having been sent
by King George of England and the
reply of the President to it, were
ommitted from the list given to the
public.
In addition to President Millerand
those whose congratulatory express
sions were included in the White
House announcement were King AL
bert of Belgium; King Victor EN-
manuel of Italy; King Gustav Of
Sweden; King Boris of Bulgaria: Sui
tan Ahmed Ghadjar of Persia;
President Pessoa of Brazil; President
Melendez of Salvador; President
Gordra of Paraguay; President
Acosta of Costa Rica; President
Bustillos of Venezuela; President
Swarez of Colombia; President Por-
ras of Panama; President Brum of
Uruguay; President Menocal of Cuba
and President Saavedra Of Bolivia,
also were included.
After recalling the common trials
through which France and the Uni
ted States had passed, President
Millerand's message said:
1.-THE solidarity of France and the
United States. which so powerfully
contributed. to their common victory
will also prove their safeguard dur
ing>peace. The political or economic
weakening of either republic would
mean impairment of the other.
Their interest as we'll as their SEN
timent bids them to stand by each
other and this we are sure will be
perpetuated with the noble tradi-
tons which for nearly a century and
a half have associated our two great
democracies for the common good
of mankind"
To the French, President Harding
replied:
IT thank you sincerely for the
cordially of your appreciated tele-
gram of congratulations and good
wishes and assure you of my abiding
friendship for the French republic
and of my very genuine wish for the
continued promotion of it's welfare
and the further strengthening If
possible Of the ties by which the two
countries are bound in history and in
fraternal friendship"

TO PROPOSED UNIFORM TAX ON
PERSONAL PROPERTY IN Maine

The biennial hearing on the act to
establish a uniform tax on intangible
personal property was held before the
committee on taxation in the hall of
the House of Representatives. on
Wednesday afternoon.
Rep. Winter of Auburn, who in
troduced the bill, opened the hear
ing for the proponents. He said
that he came here as an humble,
ordinary legislator, in good faith
representing typical Maine COM
munity of farmers, laborers, business
men and Others. One of the first
things met by the Legislature is the
request for aid for this or that OBJ
ject and all Of them are worthy
ones.
Rep. Winter called on Deputy At
torney General Fred F. Lawrence of
Skowhegan, who drafted the bill Mr..
Lawrence told the committee that he
drew the bill and he did not qualify
as tax expert.
Mr.. Lawrence said that the COM
munities of the State taken as
whole derive practically nothing
from the taxation of personal prop
erty and he thought that something
ought to be done about it. He be-

In Class with Whiskey

The ruling, one of the most import
ant since the advent of national pro-
hibition, makes it possible for all al
cohoic liquors to be used for med
jcinal and other non beverage pur-
poses, and for all to. be manufactured
and sold for these purposes subject
only to the limitations of the Volstead
Act on non beverage intoXicants.
The opinion was written by former
Attorney General Palmer, the day be-
fore he retired from office, and was
in reply to a series of questions from
internal revenue and prohibition Of
flcials bearing on construction of half
q dozen moot points in the law.

Whether it will upset any regula-

night, Commissioner Williams of the

an opportunity to study the the Opin-
ion. He made it public without COM
ment and said that officials concerned
with enforcement would prepare at
once to draft regulations carrying out
the attorney generals construction of
the dry law.
There We're many rumOrs af1oat
that the opinion wrecked plans of
dry advocates to obtain further re-
strictions of liquor sales. Officials re-
fused to comment on the reports,
however, but Wayne B. Wheeler, gen.
cral counsel for the Anti Saloon
League, issude statement in which
he said that 80 states had state codes
prohibiting the prescribing Of beer
Tor medicinal purposes. Mr.. Wheeler
declared the opinion was not in ac-
cord with the purpose of the federal
s law.
WheeIer's Statement
Congress clearly did not intend to
attempt to legalize what the State
laws prohibit" Mr.. Wheeler said.
Unless the opinion is over-ruled,
congress should amend the law. 1t is
difficult of course, to over-rule it be-
cause the government and the brew
ers are on the same side of the case
and there is no one to contest it, I'M
