PEACE IN THE PACIFIC
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF
FOUR-POWER TREATY

treaty and the Anglo japanese ALI
ance. There is no likeness between thai
alliance and this treaty. Far from tax
| ing the place Of the other, this treaty
simply enabled England and Australia
and New Zealand to take part in ter
minating the alliance. The removal OF
the Anglo Japanese alliance, which is
complete, created the situation in
which it was possible to bring an
agreement for the reduction of naval
armament. While that alliance existed
a reduction of naval armament was
difficult if not impracticable.
Senators should bear in mind that
the defeat of the four-power treaty
would endanger the treaty for the lin
itation of naval armament and the
failure of the naval treaty would shock
and startle the world and bitterly dis
appoint the American people. We must
not forget the close relation between
the two treaties. The defeat Of the
four-power treaty would mean the
failure Of the conference. Let there be
no illusion on that point.
THE purpose of the American delega
tion in the conference, and ] think, of
all other members of the conference be-
sides those of the United States, was
to endeavor to do something at once
practical and concrete which would
promote the peace of the world. They
believed that this could be done with
out alliances or penalties. Such expert
ments have been made in the past in
isolated instances. but I venture to as
sert that never has the experiment
been attempted on such a scale or un-
der similar conditions. We have passed
through war the like of which the
world has never seen. Misery and hor-
rors of the great war must never come
We must try our best to secure this
great result.
Il know it is only an experiment,
but / have faith to believe that the
better instincts of mankind are all
with us in the effort. If we continue to
preach suspicion and hatred of other
nations, if we decline to deal with |
them and believe that they all are actu-
ated by the basest of motives. nothing |
san ever be done. / have faith to be- |
ieye that this effort, illustrated by
.his treaty now before us, will have
! large and real result in maintaining
he worlds peace. II we fail the out
ook for the future il dark indeed.
"Thc best hope Of the world for a
'uture where peace may prevail and
vars diminish is in the people of the
United States. If we fail who can hope
o succeedg We called this conference
We proposed the treaties, agreements
md declarat tions in which the confer

TERDAY AFTERNOON
Course in Senate is Consid.
cred Problematical--The
Presidents Position

/ Washington, d. c., March S.--Afte
weeks of worry, the House ways am
means committee majority has evolve'
a soldiers bonus bill on which il ap
parently intends to stand pat.
Despite some criticism of the meas
ure In and out of Congress, Chairman
| Fordney and his eo-workers believe 4
viii encounter only comparative feebl,
opposition in the House unless ther.
is an unexpected reaction among ths
great majority of members who have
been insistent that some sort of bo,
nus legislation be enacted at this ses
sion.
just what will happen to the bill
IN the Senate appears at this time Ia
be more or less problematical There
the measure win be open to amend
ment and also to unlimited debate and
It Is regarded as more than probable
that it win be subjected to change in
some important particulars. Since
President Harding advised the House
committee to pay the bonus with a
sales tax or postpone the legislation,
it is expected that sales tax propo.
nents in the Senate win renew their
fight for that kind of levy.
Among House members generally
there was more discussion to-day as
to how the president viewed the bin
than there was about its probable fate
after it left the House. Trainers OF
the measure appeared to be fairly con-
fident that il would not meet with the
executives disapproval because it re-
moved what they said was the funda-
mental objection to the cash bonus
plan-an immediate drain on the fed
eral treasury.
Some opponents of the measure in
the House predicted that the bill would
be unsatisfactory to both the country
and the service men. They contende,.
that it would not enable the men to
get as much cash in three years as
they would have received under the
original cash plan and that the pro-
PVFtA oNfaANto Att OdDhSf II
would initiate credits to the extent OF
half a billion or more dollars over the
period of the bank loans, thus increas-
ng living costs.
Proponents of the bank loan plan |
'rgued that through this provision the
men could obtain Immediately a far !
arger sum than they would have re-
'eiyed under the cash installment pay
nents plan originally proposed, and /
his without imposition of any addi-
ional taxes on the country. They 1
also that when the treas
ry would have TO begin paying out /
money it could reasonably be assumed
hat there would be funds to meet the
'ayments through reduced government
expenses and receipts from the refund
d foreign loan.
The time of the calling up of the
ill in the House will not be definitely
xed until Chairman Fordney returns
o Washington from a trip to the mid
lie west.

were later cancelled. The Rutland and
Burlington newspapers did not come to

there being no connection from Bur-
lington. Passengers who went to the
station in that city were advised there
was no train running but some of
them were able to get to Essex juno
