NEWS REVIEW OF

Ratification of zap Treaty Indi-
Gates Other Pacts Will Go
Through Senate.
NOT ADMITTED BY ENEMIES
Fight to Modify Volstead Act Begun
by Federation of Labor-New Plan
to Finance Bonus-President Asks
Congress for Ship Subsidy.
By EDWARD w. PlCKARD

TN THE preliminary bouts OF the
treaty fight in the senate the ad-
ministration has scored victories which
lead Senator Lodge and others to pre-
dict certain triumph in the main con-
test over the four-power Pacific pact,
as we'll as in the other bouts.
Expression of this confidence came
after the senate, on Wednesday, had
ratified the treaty with Japan concern
ing Yap. This is not properly one or
the Washington conference series OF
treaties, but its acceptance was con-
sidered necessary before action Is
taken on the other Pacific treaties. 1t
puts an end to the dispute between
this country and Japan by recognizing
the Japanese mandate over Yap and
at the same time securing Americas
cable rights there.
The final vote on the Yap pact was
81 to % and was preceded by the vot-
Ing down Of q number Of reservations
which certain Democratic senator's
thought necessary to make American
rights on the island entirely secure.
Thirteen Democrats voted for ,ratifica-
ton, and three Republicans-Borah,
France and Johnson-against It. AL
though the administration forces said
they were entirely satisfied with the
vote, the "lrreconcilables" also pro-
ressed to be jubilant. The latter as
serted they had made small effort to
defeat this treaty and that they were
confident they could muster enough
more votes to beat the four-power
pact.
On motion OF Senator Lodge the
senate Immediately took up the FOUR
power treaty, and the indications were
that the debate on that would last sew
eral weeks. AS 1t was reported to the
senate by the committee on foreign
relations, it carries but the one In
nocuous interpretative reservation that
was approved by President Harding.
To Borah, Johnson, France and n
few other senators might well be ap-
piled a sentence from one Of the late
Ambassador Pages letters during the
var: "In the United States we lie
down every night in George Washing
toms feather bed Of no entangling al.
liances." During the debate Borah de-
cleared he would support the zap
treaty II he could be sure that 1t would
get rid OF Americas one-flfth interest
in the inundated islands Of the south
seas.
II cannot imagine more serious
ENHANCEMENT" said Senator Borah,
than owning a one-fifth interest in
these islands. We are becoming very
seriously involved and more so every
day"
Senator Reed Of Missouri deplored
the refusal Of the nations to recognize
the principle Of self-determination in
dealing with the question Of Yap pro-
hibition. He declared that the Yap-
landers had never been consulted as
to whether they ''liked likker or not"
He drew dismal picture Of thirsty
Yaps groannig under the tyranny Of
Japanese Volstead." The treaty as rati-
fed applies the prohibition amendment
only to natives.

THIS mention Of prohibition leads
l. one to venture the personal opin-
ion that II there Is any force that can
bring about the modification Of the
Volstead act so that the country will
once more have its beer and light
wines, that force has just been set In
motion. The executive council of the
American Federation of Labor has
taken up this cause and seeks to make
Of it q political issue in the forthcom-
ing congressional campaign. 1t Issued

forcement act Is denounced q moral

failure and dangerous breeder Of dis
content and contempt for law, and
which concludes:
"We urge that all citizens In every
walk Of life demand from their repre-
sentatives and senator's In Washington
immediate relief from the unwarranted
restriction contained in the Volstead
act; and we likewise suggest to the
citizenship Of our country the wisdom
and advisability Of bearing in mind
the attitude toward this issue of office
holders and asplrants to Office in COM
ing elections in order that there may
be restored to the people the lawful
use of wholesome beer and light wines,
which, under the provisions Of the
eighteenth amendment can and should
be rightfully declared as non-intoxicat-
ing beverages"
The executive council asserts 1t
holds "thar the eighteenth amendment
under a reasonable and proper legis-
lative Interpretation would be benef-
cial to our country and would have the
support Of the great majority Of our
people," But the council says an ex-
haustive investigation which 1t has
conducted shows these effects Of the
Volstead act:
II. A general disregard Of the law
among all classes, including those who
made the law.
"2. Creation of thousands Of moon
sinners.
"3. Creation Of an army Of bootleg
gers.
II. An amazing increase In the traf-
fic in poisons and deadly concoctions
and drugs.
"5. An increased rate OF insanity,
blindness, and crime among the users
of these concoctions and drugs.
"6. Increase In unemployment, due
to losses Of employment by workers In
forty-flve industries directly or indl-
rectly connected with the manufacture
Of liquors.
"7. Increase in taxes to city, state,
and national governments amounting
to approximately S1,O0O,OO0,OOO per
year"

Jolt last week, reducing the deficiency

Of the fiscal year to $4,000, ,0O0-little
more than half what the navy depart

ID EPUBLICAN members Of the house
IN ways and means committee hav-
ing rejected the sales tax plan for f.
nancing the soldiers bonus, the COM
mittee went on trying to devise other
schemes with the alternative Of adopt
ing q bill that contains no financing
feature A subcommittee suggested one
plan which would not invOlve heavy
drain on the treasury during the next
two years. This contemplates the elm
ination Of cash bonus. Adjusted
service certificates would be Issued
equal to the sum Of the adjusted serv-
Ice pay Of the veteran ($1 day for
domestic service and S1.25 a day for
foreign service, less the 500 bonus paid
at the time of discharge), increased by
40 per cent, plus interest thereon for
twenty years at the rate Of Az per
cent a year, compounded annually. The
total face value thus would be ap-
proximately 3.S8 times the amount Of
cash that a veteran would have re-
ceived under the cash feature.
Immediately after the certificate
was received the service man could
obtain from a bank an amount equal
to so per cent Of the total Of the ad-
justed service pay. If at the expira-
tlon Of three years the sum thus OBJ
tanned, plus interest, had not been
paid by the service man, the bank
could make demand on the federal
treasury for the amount due. The gov
ernment thus would take over and
carry the loan.
Some members feared the borrow
ings under this plan might affect the
financial situation harmfully, so treas
ury experts were called in to advise
the committee on that and other
points. If the scheme Is feasible and
goes through the government would
not have to pay any cash for two or
three years except for administrative
purposes.
