HARDING MEN FIGHT
ATTACK ON TREATIES
Senate Leaders, Will Oppose
Amendments to Abrogate
Trade Compacts.
DELAY FOR SHIP BILL
Will Be Sidetracked To-day
Jones Would Yield to the
j Credits Measure.
DELAY FOR SHIP BILL

WAsHINGroN. Dec. 26.--Administra-
tion leaders in the Senate, although fa-
vorable toward abrogation of the COM
merciai treaties which they say impose
restrictions upon American shipping.
said to-day they would oppose the two
shipping bill amendments proposed by
Senator Mcclellan (Dem., Tenn.) to
bring about denunciation of the COM
pacts by direct action of Congress.
Senator Jones (Rep.. Wash. !, who is
in charge of the shipping bill, recalled
his recent declaration in the Senate that
had abroGaton of the treaties been
brought about as directed by the n1er-
chant marine act of 1920 the shipping
legislation now before--the Senate prob
ably would not have been necessary.
Both Presidents Wilson and Harding
after consultation with the State De-
partment, held. however, that the
treaties cannot properly be abrogated,4
he added. >rIn view of that | cannot
believe this is the time or the pending
shipping bill is the medium to bring
about such abrogation."
Considerable Democratic support. how
ever. is expected to be given to the
Mcclellan amendments--one of which
would bring about abrogation in entirety
of commercial treaties with twenty-one
countries through the unusual course of
direct notification by Congress to the
Governments concerned. The other
amendment would obtain abrogation in
the same manner of the convention con-
cluded between the United States and
Great Britain in 1916 as the result of
the war Of 1922
Democratic supporters of the move
pointed to the recent statement by Sen
ator Underwood (Ala.), Democratic
leader, during debate on the shipping
bill that Congress should 'in no uncer-
tain manner Indicate it's desire that
the restrictions allowed under the
treaties be removed as indicative of the
temper of minority Senators with re-
spect to the question.
Although the shipping bill will con-
tinue as the unfinished business before
the Senate, those in charge of 1t to-day
saw little prospect Of action for some
time. II will be sidetracked Tomorrow
and probably for several days thereafter
for the naval appropriation bill with its
international economic and armament
conference amendment.
Senator Jones reiterated that he would
consent, to laying aside of the ship bill
for any rural credits measure with
united backing.

FARM LOBBY is STAGING
BIG RAID ON TREASURY

which have resulted in the raising OF
large crops should be compelled to re-
pay the Government so that ii could
advance money TO new settlers who
would be more appreciative of their
obligation"
Senator Curtis is of the opinion that
the reclamation muddle is largely due
to the fact that Congress permitted
itself to be wheedled into extending
the time of repayment, so that now,
no matter, how rich a settler has be-
come with Government help, he dis
PLAYS no inclination TO meet his obli-
cations to the Government. Because
one man gets an extension of time
for the repayment of loans the bene-
ficiaries of every other scheme de-
mand like concession.
Scarcely a session of Congress has
gone by but that resolutions have been
put through extending the notes OF
the beneficiaries of reclamation
schemes. Senator Curtis thinks the
Government has reserved too much
land in some of the Western ana
Southwestern States. But this he
contends, does not excuse the people
who have settled on reclaimed land
and produced good crops from return
ing to the Government, the money
which was really the basis of their
prosperity.

LEGION CANVASS
 BEGINS THIS WEEK
Committee Named Here to Solicit Money for Expenses of Distribute
 ing State Fund.

The task of raising S5,000 needed by the American Legion for expenses for distributing the state fund for needy veterans has been intrusted in this city to James D. Mckenna and Robert c. Vance, both members of the Legion. They have arranged to raise New Britain's share of the amount through the medium of a subcommittee.
 Mir. Vance will canvass among the manufacturers and Mir. Mckenna will take care of the various other sources from which it is expected that the necessary amount will be "aised
 The men who will canvass and the places they will canvass are as fol- lows: Auto dealers. Angelo Paonessa; city officials, Major Harry A. liar greaves; professional men, Dr. George H. Dalton; police and ire depart ments, Policeman Thomas J. Feeney; post office, Postmaster w. F. Delaney; societies, Clifford Hellberg, and mer- chants, hotels etc., Joseph Feingold.
 Forms for the solicitors will be ready this week and the canvassers will begin to work as soon as they receive them. The purpose Of the canvass as explained by State Com mander Clarence Seymour is to raise enough money to defray the expenses of carrying on the work of disburslng the fund. The recent ruling by Judge William M. Maltbie in the superior court denies the right Of the Legion to take expense money from the fund and the only course open for the members of the Legion to take was to canvass public spirited citizens for the necessary funds.
