Sentiment Shown That Har.

King for Participation
President VIII Announce
This Week Whether u. s.
Will Accept Invitation

F-o~, The Trfb1nes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-Discussio
Of the question Of participation in the
Genoa conference arose in the Senate
to-day and the tenor of the debate
indicated strong feeling in Congress
that II the Administra Jon desires TO
take part in that conference with &
view to binding the government to any
agreement it will have TO secure au-
thority from Congress-
AT the White House it was said that
the decision Of the Harding Administra-
tion whether the United States would
participate IN the Genoa meeting prob
ably would be announced this week.
Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut,
Republican, member Of the Foreign Re-
atons Committee. was outspoken in
saying the Executive could not send
his personal representatives to the
Genoa conference and enter into agree
ments binding on the government He
held that without authority Of Con-
sress no binding greements could be
tion by two-thirds Of the Senate wou!o
be necessary, he pointed out
Se..ator King, of Utah, brought the
matter up by referring to newspaper
statements that the resident had con-
suited Secretary Hughes, Secretary
Hoover, Elihu Root, Senator Brandegee
and others about entering the Genoa
conference and If had been decided not
to enter the conference.
'fIn view of the Importance Of the
Genoa conference not only to Europe
but the United States, it seems to me
it would be UNIV Sc for this govern
rnent to determine not to enter that
important conference" said Senatsr
King. "Certainly the Senate ard House
ought TO have something to say about
a matter of that kind"
Senator Brandegee said ne did not
know whether any decision Lad been
arrived at; that he had consulted with
the President and given him his views.
"He had the temcrity to request me
to give my views said Senator Bran
degee. "and J had the audacity to
answer. assume the government
wou d not participate without consult
ing Congress with view TO binding the
country I do not think the Pres dent
can commit the country to foreign
policy without the consent Of the Sen
ate The President is the Executive
authority and he has no right to
maneuver and manipulate to get the
government into a position SO that it
cannot extricate itself. do not con
slider that such an agreement binds the
United States without the consent of
Congress-"
TINS view was assented to by Senator
Watson, of Indiana.

OF Cowardice. SAYS
Clemenceau Letter
War Premies Declares He
Doesn't Believe Cabinet
Member Crippled Self to
Avoid Fighting Germans
Special Gable TO The Tribune

COPYRIGHT. 1929. New York Tribune Inc.
NANCY, Jan. 24.-Counsel for the
defense Of Ernest Vilgrain, multi
millionaire -four mill owner, who is
on trial here charged with desertion
in the face of The enemy by self
nlutilation in 1914, to-day introduced a
letter from former Premier Glen er,
ceau in support Of the accused.
Clemenceau had been called as q wit
ness because Vilgrain was Food Com
missioner for France IN the War Cabi-
net Of 1913, having entered the Cabi
ret after, it is charged. he evaded
the hand and feigring illness.
"1t s my decided conviction" "
wrote C,emenceau. that Vilgrain is in
capable Of the ahoninable crime with
which he is accused. He has rendered
the country the most signal services by
his competence and activity. have
often had occasion TO express TO him
the gratitude which wish TO renew to-
day bef re the court"
General Depouy, military governor
OF Stras sbourg, appearing in fuildress
uniform in defense Of Nilgrsin said he
mad met the acc SD in q hospital at
which they both were recuperating
Wig Gin, ha sad, had told him Of the
attack on lonely read by beards q
uan in uniform, which, the witness
said, "sounl led perfectly natural 10
me- lie added: "Vil~rair had 10 rca-
son to mulilate himself. I cannot be
heye il possible that such patriotic
and dastinguis she'd officer would commit
such g crime"
Nil~rain at the time of the attack
which he contends was made on him
was a lieutenant III an infantry brigade
stationed IL eastern France
Many witnesses to-day had forgotten
all incidents in connection with the
wounding of Wig ain except their
meeting with the injured officer on the
read. The defense is trying to prove
that in 1914 many spies were about and
that doubtless it was one Of these who
attacked Vilgrain.
a motorcyclist who was first to see
Vilsrain after the shooting testified
that spies were being rounded up into
military prisons daily az that time. A
verdict may be returned tomorrow.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-Count Auguste
de St. .Aulaire, French Ambassador
here, called at the British Foreign Of
fee this afternoon and is understood
to have presented the French argu-
ments FOR mobilization OF the terms
of tbs Anglo-French military alliance,
which Premier Poincara Is insisting
upon.
Nothing officially could be learned
here regarding the context Of the de-
clarations made by st. Aulaire, but
Paris advices say that France wants
the treaty to cover twenty years, in
stead Of ten, as approved by BRAND,
and wants provision made that Ger
man attack on the Allied forces on the
Rhine would be considered adequate
cause for British military interference
Close relations between the military
forces OF France and Great Britain also
are suggested.
Whether the British government will
approve these French proposals is still
to be seen, but there are reports here
that Lloyd George hardly expects now
to link up the Anglo French pact with
ChC CtOHoitlic neg SOLldtlOnS a. GenOq,
as he originally had planned.
PARIS, Jan. "a (By The Associated
Press s).--Premier Poincare, it was un-
derstood in authoritative quarters to-
day, is willing to sacrifice his d clared
preference for old dstyle dip plomacy and
meet representatives of Great Britain
and the other allies In conference
previous to the forthcoming Genoa
meeting, despite his previously ex-
pressed dislike for the activities Of the
All cd Supreme Council.
This attitude is said TO have been
created as a result of seeing possible
failure to obtain guarantees which
Poincare wants in connection with dis
cussions likely to arse at the Genoa
conference.
1t was said the Premier is determined
to have guarantees against any sur
prises in the way Of political discus
sions that might DC provoked eithe :
By Germany or Russia.
Marquis Curzon Of Kedleston, Brit
ish Secretary for Ere: sn Affairs, and
the Marquis della Torretta, the Italian
Foreign Minister, will come to Paris
in February to confer with Prs mier
Poincare on the Near Eastern situa-
tlOn.

and an act of piracy. This treaty will
be supported by the greatest power
known to history. 1t crystallizes IN
simple and concrete terms the opinion
OF the civilized world that already ex-
lists In order that hereafter no nation
shall dare to do what was done when
the women and children of the Lusi-
tania went to their death by wanton
murder on the high seas"
In completing wonderful days
work, the conference gave its approval
to resolutions relating to China, to be
embodied in treaties, including decla-
ration OF the open door, publication
of existing treaties, agreements and
commitments with China, radio estab-
lishments in China, Chinese railways,
withdrawal of foreign postoffices, with
drawal of foreign troops from Chi
nese territory, and reduction of Chi
nese military forces in the interest
of economy and internal tranquility.
These treaties, not yet drafted, are to
be reported to the next plenary ses-
sion Of the conference, which prob
ably will be it's last.
The question Of reducing their land
forces by one-half was presented to
the governments of two nations. BY
one it was rejected, and the same ac-
tion Is expected in the other case. To
the central executive committee of
the Russian soviet government, Lenin
proposed that the Russian army be
cut in half, with view to meeting
the wishes Of the United States. Leon
Trotzky spoke in opposition and the
committee rejected the plan. In the
japanese diet the Kokuminto party
brought forward the same PROPOSE
tion. The war Office opposed it, hav-
ing a plan Of it's own which cOntem-
plates reductions In personnel and the
Of ornaments and equip
ment. The minister Of war says the
idea Of halving the army is prepos-
ferrous in view of the fact that the
Russian army is still a million strong
and can be transported easily with
the restoration of the Trans Siberian
railway. 1t was considered that
political reasons would prevent the
adoption of the Kokuminto resolu-
tion.

MYTH the exception of the, United
w States all the nations asked to par
ticipate in the Genoa conference in
March have accepted the invitation.
The French government has announced
that 1t will be represented, because
1t feels itself bound by the action
of former Premier BRAND at the
Cannes meeting Of the supreme cOun-
Gil. Premier Poincare Is devOting
much attention to the German repara-
tions problem and has asked the other
allied governments to state their views
as to the procedure that should be
adopted in regard to the latest pro-
posals made by Germany. He init
mates that France prefers to leave
the whole matter in the hands Of the
reparations commission, as the treaty
of Versailles provides. Lenln has
sent word to Italy that he personally
will head the Russian delegation in

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.
(From the cincinnati EnouIror

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer)
The suggestion recently made by former AM
bassador James W. Gerard that it would be greatly
to the interest of Mexico and the United States to
arrange for an interchange Of students has merit.
Long before the Germany was sending her
young men to Mexico and the South and Central
American countries in order that they might be-
como grounded in the language, customs and edu-
cationa formuae of these countries The practice
well repaid the former empire in concrete results
The United States has not been forward looking
In this important matter. Nothing could be of
greater value in the establishing of closer interna-
tional relationship than this suggested interchange
of American and Mexican students. But the prac-
tice should be enlarged to include similar promo
tion in Argentina Brazil and other advanced south
ern nations.
Mr.. Gerard is competent to speak with reference
to this matter. He has gathered his data on the
home ground. so to speak, He has studied Mexi-
can conditions at first hand. He deplores the fact
that only about per cent of the population can
read and write and weakness in the repub-
lies educational system in that it lays toe much
stress the classics and literary development The
interchange Of students, he believes should do
much to assist in the creation of more practical
educational system in the republic and advantage
this country by bringing MeXcans here to learn
more about us. our ways, and our business methods.
