Written Expressly for the n. r. A.
CANTON, China-This is the story
of a story-of an interview with
DR.. Sun Yat-sen, president OF the
Republic OF Canton and OF China
providing he can make the Foreign
Pokers see it the same way he does.
From the Shameen, an island in
the Pearl River where, in common
with other foreigners. I made my
base. ! made the journey across Can
ton by chair. Three almost naked
coolies carried It. the distance being
about four miles. through streets so
narrow that when corners were
turned the leading coolie sometimes
was forced to enter the open front
OF a native shop to allow the boy
into the thoroughfare.
Now and then the sides OF the
sedan scraped the very walls while
the jam OF pedestrians brushed past
edgewise in the few inches OF free
space left them. Chinese shops OF
every imaginable variety bordered
the way and odors Of Just as wide
range assailed the nose.
II took some so minutes to make
the distance. II could have been
done in less but for the crowds.
Presently the coolies emerged from
the man-made jungle into a new,
wide avenue. In front OF me was a
great gate like one sees in Chinese
picture and with colors in II like
Korean Cioisone Before Il, on
either side. stood a sentry-the first
OF series guarding the seat of the
Military Government OF Canton.
For this was 1.-THE headquarters

The buildings were none OF them
more than two stories high. They

HARDING FOR SENATE
ACTION ON COLOMBIA
Ratification of Treaty Is Subject
of New Presidents
Message.

ngton.-President Harding, in
a special message to the senate, asked
that the Colombian treaty be consid-
cred and ratified at once The mes
sage went to the senate in executive
session and was not made public.
In spite of the fact that the Presi-
dent has asked that the treaty be act
ed on, strong opposition to ratification
is daily becoming more apparent.
Difference of opinion developed in
the executive session Opponents of
the treaty insisted it should be con-
sidered in open session and not be-
hind closed doors, and at the same
time efforts were made to have the
whole question postponed until the
extra session. Senator Underwood,
Democratic leader, urged that the trea-
ty be delayed until the extra session,
and there is much support for this
without regard to party.
A canvass of the Republican side Of
the senate has been made by oppo-
nents of the treaty. This discloses
that twenty or twenty-one Republican
senators are opposed to ratification.
Just how many Democrats will align
themselves against it has not been re-
vealed. Senators Shields of Tennes-
see and Watson of Georgia are against
it, and the Republican opposition hopes
to muster enough Democrats to de-
feat it.
The situation as it stands indicates
that bitter and protracted controver-
sy will develop in the senate, with the
outcome uncertain. In the end the
administration may be able to mar
shall enough votes to drive the treaty
through, but this is not certainty.
