was part of a field day OF debate,
which kept the Senate in turmoil
all afternoon. Appearing in full
force, the treaty's opponents kept
the floor throughout the session.
In the midst of the attack the Sem
ate recessed until today, when the
"irreconcilables'' again are expect
ed to take the offensive.
Broadsides against the pact were
delivered by both Senator Robinson
and Senator Reed, Democrat Of Mis-
souri,, while Senators Borah, Repub-
lican of Idaho; Johnson, Republican
of California; Shields, Democrat of
Tennessee; Watson, Democrat of
Georgia, and others joined in with
suggestions which struck at several
of the conference treaties. The
next extended response from the
treaty supporters is expected Satur-
day when Senator Underwood plans
to take the floor with prepared
address, explaining the purposes and
results of the pact.
Arguing that the treaty really
pledges more than claimed for it by
its proponents, Senator Robinson
called attention to the provision
against discussion of domestic
questions" under the treaty clauses,
and asked why it was necessary
to make this exemption if nothing
but conversation was provided for
between the four signatories. He de-
clared that the other three powers
regard the treaty as an alliance, and
predicted that the United States
will have to do likewise in any flu
ture war where Great Britain, ia
pan and France join forces against
an outside nation.
The "no alliance reservation pre-
scented by the Foreign Relations

ed, would not be sufficient to pro-
tect the interests of this country

YOUNGSTOWN REFORM MAYOR is
NOT SATISFIED BY EIIS WORK
Declares He. Is Bound
Hand and Foot by Regu-
lations of Civil Service"

By International News Service)
Youngstown, Ohio, March 10
Il am not satisfied with my adj
ministration thus far" declared
Mayor George l.. Oles, in an inter
view with the International News
Service, in reviewing his first month
in office. "You see I'm bound hand
and foot by. civil service regula-
tions. If | could only say to Police
Chief James Watkins: Come jim,
get your money, you're fired!' as
would do in my private business,
I'd get somewhere. AS it is | have
to fight sixteen quack lawyers, the
politicians, bootleggers and the I'M
derworld."
The mayor finds himself at the
end of his second month in office
the center of an imbroglio due to
the changes he has attempted to in
stitute. He faces the biggest fight
in his life, with the political inter
ests of both parties massing their
forces against him. Though fight
ing virtually alone, Oles has public
sentiment preponderantly with him.
During his unique campaign last
fall Oles promised that he would
reduce the municipal expenses,
would eliminate superfluous offices
and would reorganize the Police De-
partment. He intimated that he
would have a private conference
with + ,oiiicv GiriUf james WATKINS
which might result in the latters
dismissal. He promised to wage war
on bootleggers, gamblers, immoral
women and to clean out the under
world He said he would treat the
rich and the poor alike.
Makes Good Start.
Oles has made q good start toward
redeeming these promises. He has
asked the Police Department to ac-
cept horizontal wage reduction of
10 per cent, and has requested the
cooperation of the city council in
reducing and readjusting salaries
of all other municipal employees.
The council has tackled the problem
reluctantly, most of the Councilmep
having their ears to the ground.
The mayor has likewise made a
start toward cleaning out the unde-
sirables, though he claims to be
handicapped in this respect by fail
ure OF the police, under Chief Wat
As an outcome of this situation Oles
has suspended Watkins and says he
is prepared to force his dismissal

announcement was made yesterday
by Comptroller of the Currency CHS

bonus bill is passed he will advise

justed compensation certificates as
security for loans to former service
men, and created stir among mem

swerve majority of the Ways
and Means Committee members from
their determination to report the
measure to the House.
With opponents of the legislation
conceding that the bill will have
enough friends in the committee to
reach the House with a recon-
mendation that it be passed. spccu-
lation centers on the attitude OF
the comptroller and its probable Ell
feet. There was considerable talk
in the Hobbies, most of the repre-
sentatives taking the position that
it would be best to proceed with the
bill as drafted by Republicans on
the Ways and Means Committee.
Republican leaders, however, indi-
cate there will be no change in the
plans for consideration of the Dill
by the Ways and Means Committee
Saturday, with the expectation that
it will be reported at that time and
for vote on the measure under sus-
pension of rules a week from Mon
day.
Solons Oppose Bill
Twice during the day the bonus
question broke into the debate on
the floor of the House-once when
Representative knight, Republican
of Ohio, denounced the bill as in
defensible from either the economic
or patriotic standpoint" and again
when Representative Luce, Republic
an of Massachusetts, protested
against the plan to take the meas
ure up under suspension of rules,
which would limit debate to 40 min
utes under ordinary procedure, and
would shut off amendments from
the floor
MIR. Luce declared it is proposed
that the House, after spending de-
sultory debate on questions OF little
importance, devote only 40 minutes
to discussion of zone of the greatest
questions this Congress has had to
deal with"
Another development was the an
nouncement by Representative Mills,
New York Republican, selected as a
member Of the Ways and Means
Committee to succeed former Repre-
sentative Houghton, resigned, that
he is opposed to the bonus bill.

SEEKS ORIGIN
4-POVER PACT
Criils Colleagues Who Sat
in Arms Parley-An An
glo-Japanese Scheme it is
Declared.

Washington, March 10.-Charging
that the four-poWer Pacific treaty
resulted from a Japanese-British
plan to offset the embarrassing eff
feet of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
opponents of the pact sought with
out success in the Senate yesterday
to learn exactly by whom the orig
inal draft of the document was
prepared
Each of the Senates representa-
tives on the arms conference delega-
ton, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,
and Senator Underwood of Alabama,
declared in reply to direct questions
that Secretary Hughes had conduct
ed most of the negotiations leading
up to the treaty Mr.. Lodge said
'many hands" had helped in the
drafting and redrafting, but that
he did not know who made the first
suggestion Mr. Underwood said
that the first draft he saw was
the final one, laid before him by
oeCIeldIy mug HIS.
The statements were made in re-
ply to a series of questions of Sen
ator Robinson, Democrat of Ar
kansas, who told the Senate when
the cross questioning was over that
although 1--WE don't know and will
never find out, from any authentic
source, who wrote the first draft,
''he was inclined to believe that
the finished product resulted from
the joint labors of Arthur j. Bal
four for Great Britain and Prince
Tokugawa for Japan.
Fears An Alliance.
lie assailed the treaty as an ''alli-
ance," and predicted it would do
more harm than good. lie declared
it would not promote peace, but
will ''invite the formation of rival
alliances and lead to great harm"
Senator Robinson advocated
amendments to pledge the sigma
tories specifically against aggression
and to provide that in any future
pact all nations affected, whether
! signatories or not, shall be invited
to join in the resulting conference.
The former qualification would be
necessary TO effect any change in
the present Japanese policies, he
said, while the latter would SO
broaden the treaty as to protect the
interests of Russia, and neither ma
tions which in the future might
again become powerful in the Pa
cific.
This treaty. said Senator Rob
inson, lis advanced by its advocates
as the greatest achievement of mod
ern times in the interest Of world
peace. With startling inconsistency
they declare in the same breath
that it imposes no obligation OF
duty upon the four powers to dc
anything besides confer. If this
is all the treaty accomplishes, il
is worse than inconsistent. It i,
