the Senate late yesterday afternoon
by President Harding are now with
the foreign relations committee. 7
No decisions as TO reporting any
OF the treaties or as to methods OF
committee procedure were expected
today. The committee will not meet
again for nearly a week.
Captained by Senator Lodge, ad-
ministraton forces already were
unanimous in strong praise OF Hard
ing's positive and aggressive stand
in behalf OF immediate ratification.
Lodge told some OF his colleagues
he did not see how anyone could
withhold support from the entire
program after hearing the Presi-
dents speech
on all sides II was conceded that
Harding's presentation OF the trea-
ties was skilful Administration
Senators said Harding completely
blocked of flank attacks on the pro-
gram by:
1. Telling the Senate the treaties
were based on Instructions issued by
Congress under the Borah resolution
for an arms-reducing conference.
?. Presenting complete and
frank report OF the secret committee
Of the conference.
Especially clever, It was pointed
out, was the inclusion in the volum-
inous report OF the American delega-
tion that when Senator Lodge, pre-
senting the four power pacific treaty
in ,plenary session said 1t contained
no obligations OF force, his state
ment went unchallenged by any
power and thereupon became, to

Senators have insisted that the SEM
ate must adopt a reservation. Lodges
statement the administration holds.

been enriched by the addition
of many words never known
to old England. We have even
changed the intonation of the
words so American English is
radically different from Eng
lands English.
If we adopted the principles of
Mr.. Hough, some very accom-
plished people of this earth would
have to jump into space to es-
cape being killed off by vigilantes
or lynchers. They have no coun-
try of their own. They are be-
ing slaughtered now in Poland
as they were in Russia and some
other European countries in
years past.
The immigrant naturally has
a tender feeling toward the land
of his origin. If that is grounds
for reproach, then make the most
of it. Even if one was born in
He'll and was proud of it, that
would be no cause for reproach.
On the contrary, it would indi-
cate sentiment and respect for
ancestry-a shortcoming, if it
can be called a shortcoming,
which is a laudable characters
tic in every human. The Amer
ican immigrant quickly forgets
all the bad of his native country
and retains only a memory of
the good.
Man must have a background.
He does not have the opportunity
to select it. He chooses neither
parents nor place of birth. But
there must be a background in
to which the lines of ambition
and memory may converge into
a point of boundless imagination.
The pioneer spirit" which Mr..
Hough praises so highly did not
originate in America. 1t came
here from abroad and was cul-
tivated here. Pioneer spirit"
discovered America and carved
nation out of the wilderness.
If there had been no immigra-
ton to America there would be
no United States. And if we
listen to Mr.. Hough and stop all
immigration we will be retarding
our progress just that much.
