board secretly. At the conclusion of
their presentation of the case, the
strikers held a short secret confer

Washington, Feb. IS - Dividing
virtually on party lines, the senate
refused to amend the Yap treaty to-
day in the first test of strength on
any question affecting the interna-
tional covenants negotiated during
the Washington conference. The
vote was so to 49,
Only two republicans. Borah of
Idaho and France of Maryland, sup
ported the proposal. and only four
democrats. Underwood of Alabam ma.
Pomerene of Ohio, Williams of Mis-
sissippi, and Myers of Montana,
voted against 1t. 1t had been offered
by Senator Pittman, democrat, Ne
vada, and would have amplfied the
provision that existing treaty rights
of the United States shall apply to
the inundated islands of the Pacific.
Later by a vote of So to IL, the
senate also rejected proposed
amendment by Senator France to
prevent manufacture or export of
intoxicating liquors on the inundated
islands. Eight democrats Joined this
t me with the republicans opposed to
the amendment while not another
senator of his own party cast his vote
with Mr.. France.

amendments and reservations are
expected to come to a vote tomorrow
and, under an agreement reached
yesterday. a roll call on ratification
Thursday.
1t was to the accompaniment of
repeated bursts of laughter which the
presiding officer made no effort to
check. that the France prohibition

jccted. Senator France protested that
the senate was not giving serious
consideration TO his proposal. and
Senator Reed. also lec.urng his COL

commissions of merriment on the floor
and in the galleries by pleading that

Senator Lodge declared the amend

from the treaty a provision that in

To this Senator Reed replied that a
more complete prohibition was pre-
ferable. including foreigners as well
as natives so that the world would
not behold the spectacle of totally

officials loaded to the guards"
The Pittman amendment regarding
existing treaty rights also was de-

Washington. Feb. 2s-The admins
tration plan for government aid in the
American merchant marine was pre-
scented to Congress today by President
Harding with the declaration that
1.-The influence Of the United States IN
world councils is sure to be meas
ured by that unfailing standard which
is found in a nations merchant ma
rine."
Mr.. Harding detailed to the houses
assembled in joint session the war;
time creation of Americas great tom
nagc-an experimental venture, as he
described it-and then he added
Having failed at such enormous
cost, / bring you the proposal which
contemplates the return to private mi
tiative and private enterprise, added
to a conservative success wherein VIC
are safeguarded against the promotion
Of private greed and do not discoura ge
the hope of printable investment,
which undcrics all successful en-
deavor."
The salient points Of this propose
embodied in bills introduced in each
house immediately after the presi-
dents address. follow:
Aid estimated at S32.0OO,000 annual
ly to be provided for principally by
diversion of 10 per cent. of the ma
TONS customs receipts;
Requirement that not more than 50
per cent. of the immigrants to the
United States be transported in for
eign ships;
Sale of the tonnage now held by tho
shipping board and use of the fumes
as a construction loan fund;
Authorization for induction of Amer
lean merchantmen officers and sailors
into the naval reserve with the at
tendant allowance in pay.
Tho president then detailed a num-
Der of indirect aids, mentioning in this
connections:
Amendment of the interstate COM
mcrce act to permit railway systems
to own and operate steamship lines en-
gagged in other than coastwise trade:
Making effective this section of the
merchant marine act providing for
preferential rail and steamship rates
on through shipments on American
vessels:
Insurance available at no greater
cost than is afforded ships under
foreign flags.
Mr.. Harding emphasized the i'm
portance of a national merchant
marine 'in view of suspended naval
construction" declaring that without
it. no nation may hope to hold a
high place in the world of commerce
or be assured of adequate defence.
"The merchant marine is uni
versally recognized as the second line
OF naval Defence" he added. ut is
indispensable in the time Of great
national emergency"
Discontinuance so far as practi-
cable of the separate transport ser
vices in the army and navy also was
recommended by the executive who
in this connection said the merchant
and passenger ships under the
American flag should be made
agents of service in peace as well
as war;
Mr.. Harding in recommending the
plan for government aid said he fore
saw "thc stiffest possible competition
by the fleets of the maritime ma
