Senator Lodges address to the
armament conference follows:
II should be insensible. indeed,
if 1 did not feel deeply gratified by
the opportunity which has come to
me to lay before the conference the
draft of q treaty, the terms of which
have been agreed upon by four
of the great powers of the earth
in regard to the islands OF the
Pacific, which they control, either
as possessions or doninions. 1
will begin by reading to the con-
ference the treaty, which is both
brief and simple. and yet I am sure
is full of meaning and Importance
to the worlds peace. (Senator
Lodge here read the text OF the
treaty printed above.)
"The signing of this treaty is, on
the part of the United States, sub
ieet to the making Of a convention
with Japan concerning the status
of the Island of Yap and what are
termed the inundated islands in the
Pacific ocean north of the equator
the negotiations in regard to which
are almost concluded, and also to
the reservations with respect to
what are termed the mandated
Islands in the Pacific ocean south
of the equator.
"It should also be observed that
the controversies to which the pro-
posed treaty refers do not embrace
questions which, according to prin-
ciples of international law, lie ex-
clusively within the domestic juris-
diction Of the respective powers; powers:
that I spoke correctly when re-
ferred to the terms Of the treaty
as simple. To put it in a few
words, the treaty provides that the
four signatory powers will agree
as between themselves to respect
their insular possessions and do
minions in the region OF the Pa
cific, and that If any controversy
should arise as to such rights all
the high contracting parties shall
be invited to a joint conference
looking to the adjustment Of such
controversy. They agree to take
similar action in the case of ag-
gression by any other power upon
these insular possessions or do
miniOnS. The agreement Is TO re-
main in force for ten years, and
after ratification under the con-
stitutfonal methods of the high
contracting parties the existing
agreement between Great Britain
and Japan, which was concluded at
London on July IS, 1911, shall ter
inmate. And that Is all. Each
signer is bound to respect the
: rights of the others and before
taking action in any controversy
to consult with them. There Is no
provision for the use of force to
carry out any Of the terms of the
agreement. and no military or
naval sanction turks anywhere in
the background or under cover of
these plain and direct clauses.
"The surest way to prevent war is
to remove the causes of war. This
is an attempt to remove causes Of
war over a great area of the
globes surface by reliance upon
the good faith and honest inten-
tions Of the nations which sign
the treaty, solving all differences
through the processes Of diplomacy
and joint consideration and con-
ciliation. No doubt We shall hear
it said that the region to which
this agreement applies is one most
unlikely to give birth to serious
disputes. and, therefore, an agree
mert of this character is of little
consequence History unhappily
has shown that there is no corner

LODGE REVEALS
TREATY TERMS
Chinese Satisfied;
u. S. Senate Must
Confirm Draft.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
The Anglo-Japanese alliance, long
regarded with apprehension by the
American people, passed into history
today when spokesmen of both nations
at the arms conference accepted in its
stead a four-power agreement for
preservation of peace in the Pacific.
10 which the United States and France
became parties.
This action, with fulfil1ment Of de-
tails to follow, paves the way to ac-
ceptance of the American proposals
for reduction of naval armament, and
in large measure is expected to con-
tribute TO settlement of the Chinese
questions.
Provisions OF Treaty.
Announced to the conference by Sem
ator Lodge, the four power treaty
provides briefly that the United States,
Great Britain. Japan and France agree
among themselves to respect their
insular possessions and dominions in
the Pacific and to adjust by Joint con-
ference among themselves any con-
troversies not settled by the course
of diplomacy. They further agree to
take similar action in the face of any
threat of aggression by other powers.
The proposed treaty has been inf-
tailed in affirmation by the represen-
tatives Of the four great powers, al
though not yet actually signed, and
must be confirmed by the United
States Senate.
1t is for ten years, but any one Of
the SgnatorieS may withdraw after
that period on twelve months notice.
Approved by Others.
In order. Rene yiviani. head of the
French delegation; Arthur J. Bal
four. heading the British delegation
and Prince Tokugawa, chief of the
Japanese delegates arose and gave
their assent to the new arrangement.
They were followed by the chief
delegates of the other powers repre-
tion at the new arrangement.
Most interesting among these was
the declaration of Minister See of
China, who expressed great satis-
faction with the proposed treaty.
Now, while the actual perfection
of the treaty goes forward, it is ex-
pected that the naval armament and
Chinese questions will speedily go on
toward settlement.
Senator Lodge said that he did not
believe the treaty would be trans
mitted to the Senate until after the
conference was ended. He added
that although, only initiated by the
heads of the four powers delega-
tions, it was approved to all intents
and purposes.

New Rates to
Aid Stockrllell
&C. Holds

Washington, Sept. 13.-Reduc-
tions by western railroads in rates
on cattle, hogs, and sheep in the
opinion of the interstate com
merce commission twill prove of
material benefit to the western
livestock raisers who have been
heavily affected by the rapid de-
cline in livestock prices since July
1920"
The commission expressed the
belief today in announcing it had
authorized the reductions pro-
posed by the carriers which will
become effective September 20 and
amount to 20 per cent In cases
where the present rates are higher
than SO cents hundred pounds,
but in no case decrease the rate
below SO cents a hundred.
Under the new tariffs practical
ly all rates from points west of the
Missouri river to Chicago and from
all points west of the Rocky noun
tains will be reduced in amounts
ranging from one to rs cents a
hundred pounds. Similar reduc-
tions in all other livestock rates
now higher than so cents a hun
dred pounds are to be made, the
commission said. In many cases,
1t was stated, the entire increase
made in August, 1920, will be
eliminated by the new tariffs. The
commission estimated that the de-
creases would mean an annual re-
duction of revenues for the car
riers of $4,000, 900.
The reductions are In line with
suggestions by the commission
after hearings on freight rates on
livestock throughout the United
States.

Secretary Davis Says
Unemployed Fewer
Today Than In 1914
by 100000

Washington, Sept. 14.-Those
who are disturbed over the 5,735,-
600 unemployed of today, over
look that in 1914 there were
100000 out of work, larger
percentage of whom were men and
actual bread winners than is the
present unemployed. Secretary
Davis said today in a statement,
MIR. Davis said present unem-
ployment figures include great
numbers OF persons upon whose
earnings no one actually is de-
pendent.
while we have our unemploy-
ed, let us not forget the 12,000,-
600 who are still at work." the
statement said. "A further en-
couraging fact is that $500,000,-
600 is now available about the
country in the form OF bonds al
ready issued or appropriated by
the state, county and municipal
governments for public works. I'm
doubtedly this will be organized
intelligentiy."
Positive signs of business recov-
cry have been furnished by the
commissioner of labor statistics,
Secretary Davis declared.
Discussing efforts to relieve the
unemployment situation, Secre-
tary Davis said the employment
service of the department of labor
was doing all it could to place
workers in positions.
During the harvest" he ex-
planned, 'it sent between 55, 900
and $4,000 men to the farms and
kept them moving as the harvest
season moved northward.
"The employment service is at
present taking care for the thresh-
ing and corn cutting situation
wherever additional men are need
ed for this purpose.
Cotton and wooden goods al
ready show signs OF recovery and
there is scarcely a plant in the
country turning out silk hosiery
that Is not working full or over
time. Silk fabrics are on the move.
These things speak for themselves,
and may be speaking the same lam
guage as the figures showing that
more garages than houses have
been built in recent months. Shoe
factories seem to be working. for
the most part on fancy high
priced women's shoes. This may
be accounted for by the further
fact that men now out Of the
hardy forms of employment are
not shoe buyers. The demand for
these will come when the railroads
