lated by this treaty.
"The effect Of this treaty practically
is to turn over to the world the Pan.
ANA Canal, retaining to ourselves onlv
the sacred privilege Of keeping up the
costs Of maintenance for all time.
"Our watchword was economy. Yet
as the first act of the Administration
in carrying out economy the expense.

economy by paying out $4,000 ooo
and giving up concessions that viii,
cost us hundreds Of millions more. 7
cannot comprehend how such a course
can be defended"
Wadsworth Calls Treaty Blunder
Senator Wadsworth, declaring he
could not support the treaty, held that
to retify it would be one more blunder
in the course of this country toward
the countries Of Latin America. He said
that IN granting to Colombia the right
to use the canal free of tolls "at ali
times" for her ships Of war and troops
we are giving her "a highway over
which to attack another nation" He
pointed out that in war between Co.
lombia and Venezuela, Colombia could
use the canal to transport troops and
for her warships and Venezuela could
not. The same would be true in a war
between Colombia and any other South
American country. Thus the United
States would be exposed to the charge
Of not being neutral, and instead Of
helping relations with Latin America
these relations would be greatly in
jured
"The Panama Canal,' said Senator
Wadsworth, SHOULD be the great mill
tary asset of this country and of no
other country"
Senator Lodge said the provision for
use of the canal by Colombia's ships
of war and troops in war time had
been stricken out
was precisely what was not done, be-
cause the treaty gave Colombia the
right to use the canal Eat all times"
for her ships Of war and troops free of
charge. That means in peace times
and war times" said Senator Wads-
worth.
Senator Kenyon also opposed the
treaty. He recalled that Republicans
in 1918 in the campaign denounced
Woodrow Wilson for his course re-
garding the Colombian treaty. He said
the people were not for the treaty
then and did not believe Theodore
Roosevelt had done wrong act.
kilograms, he said, had been coming
to his Office from farmers organiza-
tions saying that if the government
had any money to spend it should be
loaned to the farmers of the United
States and not turned over to Co.
lomba.
Taking up the oil concessions in Co.
lombia, he said:
81 understand there are oil conces-
sions in Colombia that may be can
celed. Attorneys for oil interests may
have talked with some Senators about
that. 1t is q slight and an insult to
Roosevelt's memory and no such treaty
could have passed in his lifetime. The
American people are going to under
stand it,"
Senator Lodge, who took close note
of the statements of Senator Wads-
worth about the canal as a military
highway for Colombia but for no other

Won't Change
Policy ON Yap
Ministry Opposed to Altera-

Note, Nichi Nichi SAYS:
Foreign Office Is Silent
Press Attitude Shifts
Newspapers Now Consider
American Position I'm
reasonable; Up TO Allies

TOXIC, April 20 (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-The Cabinet yesterday
decided there was no reason to alter
Japan's policy on the Yap mandate
question because of the recent Ameri-
can note on the subject, according to
the Nichi Nichi to-day. The decision
of the minister will be reported FRIDAY
at an extraordinary meeting of the
diplomatic advisory council, the news
paper adds.
The Foreign Office said to-day it
could neither confirm nor deny the
above report.
The government deemed it wise not
TO make any statement or comment on
the Yap question beyond what has
been or will be published by mutual
understanding between the Japanese
and American governments, Foreign
Office officials declared.
publication locally Of the CORE
spondence on the question of mandates
has been followed by change of tone
In the Japanese newspapers, which gem
orally consider the American attitude
unreasonable. Tho summary of the
comment is that the United States
claims the right of veto over the de-
clslons of the Allies in connection with
the war with Germany, and that Japan
cannot reply to such a claim, which
must come before the Allied Supreme
Council, of which Japan is a member.
If the powers decide to yield to Ameri-
can insistence on the exclusion of Yap
from the Japanese mandate, the COM
mentators say, Japan undoubtedly will
be forced to bow to such decision.
Meantime the newspapers believe it
likely Japan is reminding her Allies Of
the original agreement made prior to
the entry Of the United States into the
war, under which Japan was to re-
celve the Pacific Islands north of the
equator, and also of the fact that Japan
abandoned important desires during
the peace conference in the interest Of

y. S. to Safeguard Panama

From The Irtbune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 20.-No inva-
sion Of Panama territory is contem-
plated by Costa Rica, the State De-
partment has been officially informed.
At the same time, It was indicated, the
Panama government has again been
assured that her sovereignty will be
secured by the American government,
but in return for this assurance the
suggestion has been pointedly made
that the land dispute between Costa
Rica and Panama must be amicably ad-
justed by Panama accepting the White
award.
The American answer to the latest
Panama note, in which the White
award is again protested against, has
not been drafted, nor will any formal
reply be made to it until the lengthy
document, which is en- route to tie
State Department by mail, has been re-
ceived. 1t is understood. however. that
President Porras has been definitely
informed of this governments belief
in the justice of the White award and
that its acceptance cannot successfully
be combated by Panama

BAPTIST CHURCH -
/ CLOSES CAMPAIGN

With an overcrowded house, every
available space occupied, Rev. C. W.
Finwall of Bismarck, closed an evan
gelistic campaign at the Baptist
church Sunday evening. During his
two weeks Of labor in Valley City and
vicinity, he, has preached twice every
day, except Saturday, to fine audiences
people f1ocking in from city and coun-
try alike. Pastor-at-Large Finwall
does not believe in any clap-trap
methods, but breaches brief, practical
sermons, with an evident purpose of
building real character, men and
women with backing up a professed
religion with kindness, helpfulness.
loyalty, and good order with regular
ity in the individual life, in family life,
in business life and in church life.
More than one hundred persons
walked up to the preacher last evening
at the close of his last sermon on "Ex-
ercising the Will Power Arigh,." and
thanked Mr.. Finwall for permanent
help obtained through his services
here. Many of these were heads of
families.
Rev. J. A. Moe, pastor of the local
Baptist church publicly and warmly
thanked Rev. Finwall for 'the un-
sparing and inspiring service rem
dered by the pastor -at-large."
After brief visit to his home in
Bismarck today, it was announced
that Rev. Finwall will go to Grafton
for series of services.

Y. {. HIGH AFTER
THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Eight district basketball champion
ship titles will be decided Friday and
Saturday in the state. The district
games will be played at The following
places: jamestown, Fargo, Grand
Forks, Devils Lake, Minot, Bowbells,
Dickinson and Mandan.
Valley City will participate in the
tournament to be held at Jamestown.
and will go into the games with per-
haps the best record of any team in
any team in the state. Grafton has a
better record for the number of vic
tories but has not played as strong
teams as Valley City has.
Valley Citys record is as follows:
She has won 13 games and lost two
by narrow margins. These two games
were to Bismarck and Jamestown. The
Bismarck team won here on Valley
City floor from the High School by
score Of 20 to 16, but were defeated
on their own floor. jamestown won
on their floor by score Of Is to IS.
jamestown has defeated Mandan. and
SO has Valley City. but Bismarck beat
jamestown on their own floor and Val
ley City beat Bismarck on their floor.
This would dope out to give valley
City far the advantage in the district
conference, and also the edge on Man
dan and Bismarck. Valley City High
School has total of 391 points to
1S9 points of their opponents. ..,.
Coach Fagin will take the follow
ing men to jamestown Friday morn
ing to defend Valley City's honors:
and if possible to bring home the
bacon for this district: Larson, Wer-
tin, Leussen, Kernkamp, Mulhair,
Holmes, Ford and Thayer. -
The following teams in this district
will participate in the games at
Jamestown, and drawings will be
made Friday to determine which team
will meet which: Jamestown, Valley
City, Sanborn, LaMoure, Darlington,
Glendale, Fessenden. Oakes, Coop.
erstown, Medina, Wimbledon and
Litchville.
It is believed that district games
this year will be the best ever, as an
added interest seems to have sprung
up in basketball this year.

I want to congratulate you in your

at Bismarck, where you not only prov

ground, but showed your wonderful
courage to meet the lion in his den
and put him to where he had to seek

good to read the testimony, and would
have liked to been there and said
"Amen brother" as the Methodists
say in camp meeting when preacher
has made a strong point. Here goes
three cheers for the editor of the

Am dying to get out with the recall
petitions. If ever put in hard ticks

THANKS GIVEN
V.C. PEOPLE

ThlS IS not set OF resolutions Dut
merely an expression of appreciation
on the part of the visiting coaches and
teams of the assistance given so freely
by the people of Valley City. We are
especially grateful to the faculty and
management of the Valley City High
School for the use of the magnificent
gymnasium. 1t is generally agreed
among those who participated in the
tournament that it was great sue
cess. The spirit that prevailed dur
ing the two days was cordial and en-
thusiastic. This is due very largely:
we feel, to the fact that we had such
a gymnasium in which to hold the con-
test. The spectators were comfort
able at all times. And the players had
the best floor in North Dakota on
which to play. Those who visited the
tournament either as spectators or as
players will carry with them pleas
ant memories of the Valley City High
School gymnasium.
We also want to express our appre-
citation of the helpfulness, co-opera-
tion and interest shown by the faculty
and students of the high school. We
feel that they left no stone unturned
to make our sojourn pleasant and our
tournament a success. The generous
support of the students was particu
larly noticed by the visitors. The un-
selfshness on the part of Valley City
in the tournament is to be commend
ed. They entered the tournament on
a proposition of their own that they
would not be contenders of the cup.
They played the champions and de-
feated them. After defeating Dazey
they voluntarily withdrew from the
tournament in order to simplify the
remaining part of the tournament and
to make the work of the day easier for
the teams that would finally meet to
decide the championship of the
county.
We appreciate the support and in
terest shown by the Normal School in
the progress of the tournament. We
appreciate the assistance rendered by
the citizens of Valley City. We feel
especially grateful to Rev. George B.
Galley for the interest shown and the
help rendered during the two days.
neV. CdIcy was always VII utCh. we
have not the time nor the space to
mention the names of many others
who were present at all times and
ready to serve when needed.
We wish to extend an expression of
appreciation to the Valley City Com
mercial Club for the delicious re-
freshments served at the close of the
tournament. The Domestic Science
Department added to the enjoyment Of
this feature by taking an active
charge of the serving of the refresh
ments. s...- .-,T s~'-s 20
And finally we are not unmindful
of the fact that citizens from all parts
of Barnes county were present in
large numbers. Many Of them came
at some inconvenience. Their inter-
est was so great that they could not
stay away. In the spectators CALLER
les were ardent and loyal supporters
from every part of Barnes county
This was one Of the outstanding fea-
lures of the tournament. To all of
those people of Barnes county we are
especially indebted for their loyal sup
port.
