BORAH FIGHT OYER
TREATY TIEUP ENDS
Continued from First Page.

was the aggressive tendencies of Ger
many, but rather the conflicting interests
Of the two groups which had been
brought into existence.
He quoted viscount Grey as having
told Parliament it was free to act as 1t
would on the question of going to the
aid of France. that there were no COM
mitments. no pledges. but adding that
France had relied upon her association
with Britain to the extent of allowing
some of her defenses to be weakened,
and that. accordingly. England was in
duty bound to enter the war on behalf
Of France.
He maintained that this was exactly
the situation that would prevail in the
United States when its delegates to
conferences. provided for in the treaty.
would report that in their Judgment
use Of the army and navy would be
essential to meet the exigency.
Senator Poindexter (Wash.) raised
the point that England did not go into
the European war because OF the rea-
son alleged but because the treaty guar
anteeing the neutrality of Belgium, to
which all European Powers were parties,
had teca violated.
Lodge COrrects Borah.
Senator .Borah disposed OF this ques-
tion by saying it was disproved because
IL was not the reason alleged and be-
cause Britain declared war forty-eight
hours before Belgium was invaded.
Reference by Senator Poindexter to the
scrap of paper" incident In Berlin.
which when declared by Hollweg had
resulted in the withdrawal Of the Brit
ish Ambassador was ignored by Senator
Borah. 1t was not until later In the
debate, when Senator Lodge. who is
historian as well as statesman. began
to read from viscount Grey's speech be-
fore Parliament. that Senator Borah
acknowledged that Belgium was one
of the causes of the war. but insisted
this meant little since viscount Grey
had insisted upon the moral obligation
Of England to go to the aid of France.
This historical unhorsing of Senator
Borah was but one OF the incidents OF
the spirited debate in which Senator
Lenroot (Wis) called Senator Borah
to account for having intimated that
conference would be called for under
Article III. of the treaty which refers
to the case OF aggression or Powers
outside OF the treaty.
In the course of this interchange Sem
ator I.enroot volunteered the suggestion
that he could not conceive of situation
In which the United States would enter
into any war in which its vital Interests
were not affected either directly or in
directly.
Senator Borah explained that he was
of the opinion the -Four Power treaty is
an alliance. but he proposed to discuss
it from the viewpoint of the explana-
tions offered for it by Senators Lodge.
Underwood, Kellogg and New.
Senator Johnson (Cal.) again raised
the question of the authorship of the
-Four Power treaty, despite the letter
from Secretary Hughes in which he
acknowledged authorship.
Senator Borah offered the suggestion
that in his opinion the reservation at
tached to the treaty by Mr.. Hughes
presented "the most conclusive proof
that some one else wrote the treaty"

Slaps mt Extravaganza.
II do not say that further economies
may not be effected. Constant study
and vigilant watchfulness will always
disclose opportunities to apply improved
business methods. but any resulting
economies will be more than absorbed
by the inevitable increases required to
meet expanding needs. There have been
necessary increases in some appropria-
tions this year. the most notable being
on increase OF $2,417.3s5 for education"
The Governor also asserted that but
for unexpected requirements" the Legis-
lature would easily have reduced the
expenditures of the State below $685.
ooo. 900. the sum which was SGT as the
goal to be striven for.
1T has been possible" the statement
continued. ito meet these increases and
TO provide for all unusual demands and
still make a reduction in total expeii-
ditures only because the extravaganza
OF former years afforded still further
opportunity to extend the economy pro-
gram inaugurated last year"
After analyzing the purposes for
which the s122.025,19S already appro-
priated is to be spent the statement con-
tinued:
There are. however, other meritorious
demands OF an unusual or temporary
character, such as the requirement for
the New York-New Jersey vehicular
tunnel contract. II provision is made for
them, it will be possible to effect a re-
duction OF one mill instead OF a mill and
half. as was hoped. In any case II
will be necessary to levy direct tax OF
one-half mill for teachers salaries, in
addition to the tax for debt service.
Reduction of Direct Taxes.
THAT will result in total reduction
in direct taxes of s15.055.7S9 as COM
pared with 1920, and will give to real
estate, already overburdcned by local
taxation, the benefit of the economies
effected in the State administration"
Forebodings Of impairment of State
service and neglect in the care OF States
wards also is answered In the statement
in this fashion:
The elimination of nearly $40. 1000, 900
from the budget requests Of last year
caused many forebodings OF impairment
of service, of neglect in the case Of the
States wards, and OF huge deficiency
appropriations this year.
Comparative reports Of the amount
and cost OF work done by the different
departments made to me show that more
work has been done at less cost.
'The institutions all report surpluses.
"The deficiency appropriations are
$s. 500. 900 less than those OF last year.
which not only proves the adequacy of
last years appropriations but also
shows that for purposes OF comparison
that sum must be added to the appro-
priations of 1920 and deducted from
those OF 1921 to fairly measure the re-
suit of the effort to introduce order.
efficiency and economy In the public
administration"
The prediction was made that the
total State budget will be less this year
than last.

HARDING DEMANDS QUICK ACTION ON SUBSIDY MEASURE
Senate Must Conclude Tariff Debate Before House Con-

By Associated Press

Washington, June 17.-Under a compromise plan suggested today to President Harding by House repub- lican leaders, and which, it was said, did not meet his disapproval, the House will take up the ship subsidy bill immediately after the Senate has passed the tariff bill.
 While the question will be con sidered further at White House con ferences next week, Chairman Camp bell of the rules committee declared tonight 1t was morally certain no action will be taken on the subsidy bill by the House until the Senate has concluded consideration of he tariff"
 Meanwhile, party leaders said, the Presidents insistence that the bIll be put to a vote prior to adjourn ment would be met and opposition on the part of some republicans to nasty action withdrawn.
 How long 1t might be before the SShAeC 1AdC0 iN6 lAkHts Hp member of the House would predict Leaders declared. however. that If tho suggestion laid before the Pres ident by Mir. Campbell was definitely accepted, the House about July 1 could begin three day recesses to run approximately month. A quorum would be needed to send the tariff bill to conference and with this out of the way these members believed the ship subsidy bill once before the House, could be passed or defeated within week.
 Called to White House
 The republican steering committee and republican members of the rules committee had scarcely begun a joint meeting today to discuss the subsidy situation when Mir. Campbell was hastily summonded to the White House. Returning to the capital he explained he had told the President of opposition to consideration of the bill without full opportunity for studying 1t. While the President in- sisted the bill should not go over until the December session. leaders were informed he would not object to q reasonable delay.

This representsareductionof ID This represents a reduction of 5000 fro mthe Senate figure and an in- crease of 10000 over the size of the army fixed by the House.
 The House delegation refused to &C., cept the Senate provision fixing a maximum authorization of 14o, ,0oo enlisted men as we'll the item appro- priating pay for 13a.0oo as passed have stood solidly against any pro- vision which would have permitted a personnel of more than 125,000. War department representatives declared repeatedly in hearings on the bill that to reduce the present author fixed strength of 150,000 was unsafe.
 Two Other Sections
 
 port on the enlisted strength leaves only two important sections of the annual supply bill to be considered exclusive of the Muscle Shoals amendment appropriatIng s7.5oo. 900 for a continuation of work on the federal power project in the Tennes- see river. It already has been agreed by the conference committees that that question should be more direct to the House because of the contro- versal character of the subject in vofved. Chairman wadsworth of thu Senate military committee said that only the terms dealing with the off cer strength and the national guard provisions remain to be determined.
 It was expected that reduction from the number of officers fixed by the Senate would follow the com promise as to enlisted personnel. The House fixed maximum of Ill., 900 as the number of officers while the Senate amendment put the off cor strength at an average of 17,670 for the coming year.

 Harding to Sign Bill
By Associated Press

Washington, June 17.-The sol- diers' bonus fight broke unexpectedly in the Senate today when democratic senators attacked the reported com promise agreement of republican leaders not to call up the measure Monday, but to have it follow the tariff bill.

 undoubtedly would be passed be-
 fore adjournment, was stated
 during the Senate debate by
 Chairman McCumbcr of the Sem

 We'll understand Monday and d4s- initely." said Senator McCumber. pounding his desk with his fist. whether we're going to keep faith, believe that We will. It Is my duty to put the tariff bill through. It also is my duty to sec that the other blll (the bonus) goes through and I intend to see to 1t that they do go through and there will be no adjournment of this session until they do go through"
 Senator McCumber said rumors were current that some democratic senators intended to filibuster against the bonus bill in order delay the tariff measure If the bonus should he put ahead. but Senator Ashurst de- nied that any filibuster would be attempted.
