Industrial unrest which manifested
itself during the period Of reaction i'm
mediately following the war, became

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

The continued fight over the ratifica-
tion of the treaty of Versailles, with
the League of Nations covenant, re-
sulting in rejection of the treaty for
the second time, occupied the atten-
ton of the United States senate during
the early months of 1920 and monop-
olized the attention of the public, so
far as congressional action was con-
cerned. The Cummins-Esch bill, un-
der which the railroads Of the country
operated after their return to private
control, and the army reorganization
bill were the principal pieces Of legis-
latlon enacted before the first regular
session of the Sixty-sixth congress
ended June 8.

gress, was passed by the senate Janu-

ing bill, was ended when the confer

Lodge reservations were again adopt
ed. with some amendments. The

, thirds majority, the vote being 40 to
35. The following day the rejected
treaty was sent back to the President.
With no prospect of the early adop-
tion Of the treaty, resolutions declar-
ing the war ut an end were introduced
in both the house and the senate. Both
houses adopted the Knox senate res
olution. President Wilson vetoed this
resolution, however, on May 27.
A few days earlier, on May "a, Pres
ident Wilson asked the senate for au-
thority to accept the mandate for
Armenia that had been offered by the
supreme council. On June / the SEN
ate respectfully declined" to give the
President the authority requested.
On June 8, the house voted, 343 to
3, the repeal Of all war laws except the
Lever act and the enemy trading act,
the measure already having passed the
senate, but President Wilson withheld
his signature from the act and 1t died,

ures. with the adjournment of con-
gress. On the day before adjourn

tually to civil war, in Ireland, with
spasmodic revolutionary outbreaks in
Germany, with counter-revolutionary
movements developing at intervals In
Russia, with civil war in China and
with political upheavals in France,
Italy, Greece and other countries,
the unrest and changing conditions
growing out of the World war were
reflected in the disturbed internal con-
ditions of many countries of the old
world in 1920.
One of the unexpected political de-
velopments of the early days Of the

took its first definite step toward a
settlement of the Irish question on
February 25 by presenting to the
house of commons its Irish home
rule bill, providing for autonomous
rule under n dual parliament, repre-
senting both the north and the south.
On March 10 Ulster voted to accept
the bill.
A new counter-revolution, directed
by militarists, broke out in Berlin
March 13. The revolutionists gained
control of Berlin and DIR. Wolfgang
Kapp proclaimed himself chancellor.
The revolution was shOrt-lived, how
ever, ending in failure on the 10th

tract the attention of the world. On
March 10 the mayor of Cork was kill
ed by assassins. In the House OF
Commons the Irish Home Rule bill
passed its second reading on March
81, 34S to 04. On April Irish tax
offices and records were burned at
many points and wire communication
from Belfast was cut.
In Mexico the presidential campaign
developed revolution which resulted
eventually in the overthrow of the
Carranza government. On April 10 the
state of Sonora withdrew from the
republic and fighting between the
Sonora troops and federal forces be-
