FIGHT ON PACT
BY DEMOCRATS
HELP TO BORAH
Continued from Page One.

ADVANTAGE of the United States are
under the Versailles treaty. In Or
der to obtain these rights, he con-
tended, the United States would
have to take part in the repara-
tions proceedings and would have
to stand ready to do its bit in en-
forcing the treaty.
Borah insisted that the treaty
in effect. meant "entangling al
liances" for the United States. He
predicted the United States would
be compelled to keep its troops on
the Rhine for years or abandon its
claims against Germany. It would
be morally 'indefensible," Senator
Rorah declared. for. the United
States to claim rights and advan-
tages and then expect France to
supply the man power to obtain
them from Germany.
Senator Reed, of Missouri. took
the position that the treaties set
tied nothing, and that they clearly
contained the germs Of interna-
tionalism."

Ratification of Treaty
Won't Affect Rhine Men

Ratification Of the treaty with Ger.
many will not affect the American
Army of Occupation on the Rhine. II
was declared authoratively at the
State Department yesterday. Whether
and when the troops are to be with.
drawn will remain a matter for the
Presidents discretion, It was said.
1t was learned also that 1t will not
be necessary for Germany to accept
the two reservations to the treaty
which have been voted by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
The reservation that the United
States is not to participate in any COM
mission provided by the new treaty
without an act OF Congress. is held
by the State Department to be a ques-
ton purely Of domestic policy. The
second reservation, that the rights
granted the United States in the new
treaty embrace the rights accorded
American citizens In the peace resolu-
ton and the treaty of Versailles, is
believed entirely superf1uous.
