 Colombian Treaty
Gratifying Alike to All Res ervationists and Irreconcil- ables.

Washington, April 12-The fight over the Colombian treaty was re-opened in the senate today with Senator Lodge of Massachusetts leading the forces for ra. ifcation.
 The contest, which administration leaders hope will result in a favorable vote on the long pending pact on April 20, began with the reading in open execu- tive session of a message from President Harding who declared the early and favorable consideration of this treaty would be very helpful at the present time In promoting our friendly relationships" :" The executives message was sent to the senate and read III executive session March g, but was not made public until today.
 Senator Lodge opened the discussion with a prepared address, in which he declared that ratification of the treaty not only would improve relations be- tween the United States and Latin-A Amer ica, but that the world situation as re- gards oil, of which Colombia has rich stores, seemed ''very strongly to justify, In. fact to demand the ratification"
 Acceptance of the pact in it's present form. the Massachusetts senator contend ed, would not he inconsistent with the stand taken in 1917 by republican minor 1t ymembers of the foreign relations committee in refusing to agree to a fa- vorahle report. Since then. he declared changes have been made. which removed in the main the objections raised against the treaty in 1917.
 The Massachusetts senator further de- clafed that ratification of the treaty in its present form would cast no reehction on the action of President Roosevelt in exendting recognition to Panama after 1t hp (, revolted from Colombia Tomorrow the discussion will be re- sumed with Senator Kellogg. republican of Minnesota, opposing the pact.

Senator Lodge Opsned the :, Discussion With a Prepared
 Address.

Washington April 12.-General ,ap- proval of President. Harding's declara- tions in his first message to congress to- day that the United States could have no part in the present league of nations and that state of war should be ended by con gessional resolution was expressed by re- publican senate leaders. both of the "ir- reconcilable" and 'reseryationists' groups.
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the re- publican leader who led the fight for reservation to the treaty of Versailles, said he was extremely pleased"- by the message, which he declared separates us from the league and approves passage e the Knox resolution.
 Senators Johnson of California and Borah of Idaho, leaders of the 'lrrecon- cilables," expressed qualification that the president had definitely rejected the present league and had declared for res toration of peace by congressional action. They expressed doubt, however. that the treaty of Versailles with teh league. cove nant excluded could be put into shape for ratifcation-a possibility suggested by MT. Harding.
 Senator hitchcock of Nebraska, acting democratic leader, who led the Wilson forces in the senate for ratification of the treaty and league, expressed dfsappoint- llCAI Gb liC pECoAuChe AiCooobC' AAC 0C- clared that by refusing to enter the league the United States had refused to | take part in the effort to stabilize the social, business and governmental condi- tions of the world without which, he said there could be neither revival of busl- ness nor prosperity.

London, April 12-By The A. P.) Tho conference of the mine owners, the mine workers and government officials today taled to reach a settlement in the min CTS strike. the miners refusing to accept the prime minister's proposals for a na- tional settlement of wages without a na- ton pool of profits. which Mir. Lloyd George declared impracticable.
 The transport workers and raiIwayrnen however, suspended their strike notices which would have expired at midnight tonight Thus the day, which opened With almost certainty that the transport facilities of the country would be idle to- morrow, ended with brighter hopes, de- spite the fact that the executive of the transport workers in sending out notice of the suspension of the strike asserted the situation Is still critical"
 The only government proposal which the miners would consider was one in which the government offered, alter the wages question had been settled, to give temporary assistance to mitigate the rap- Id reduction of wages; the others they brushed asile, at times with heated ar- guments.
 The premier met the owners and min CTS in separate conferences. then jointly. but none of the arguments of the premier or the owners could move the miners. They stuck firmly to their demand for a national pool of profits and a national settlement of wages. declaring through their spokesman, Frank Hodges, that "the workmen for the first time are go- Ing to have share of the total pros- perity in trade"
 The premier after a two hours ses- sion with the miners, and again .n the joint session. said he knew of nothing 1 that would justify the government in | changing the convictions expressed in It's proposals. He insisted that a national pool of profits would lead to government control, to which parliament wouli moi agree. He also entered a strong protest against any substituting of wages or prof. Its of industry out of the general taxes of the country, on the same grounds Mir. Hodges retorted that the miner. only asked for temporary assistance and that their permanent scheme was abso lutely free from government control.

 Water Transportation.
 Linked with rail and highway is the problem of water transportation-inlan coastwise and trans-oceanic. It is not possible, on this occasion, to suggest to congress the additional legislation needful to meet the aspirations of our people for a merchant marine. In the emergency of war we have constructed a tonnage equal- ing our largest expectations. Its war cost must be discounted to the actual values of peace. and the large difference charged to the war emergency and the pressing task is to turn our assets in tonnage to an agency of commerce.
 It is not necessary to say it to congress, but have thought this to be befitting occasion to give notice that the United States means to establish and maintain a great merchant marine.
