Curiously enough there sew-ral gueati*®*—distinctively American and therefore presumably of the highest importance to this country—have temporarily been lost sight yf in a burst of senatorial Indignation over the action of the pfeace conference by which Shantung—prol.n I,!} China's richest province, with 30,000,000 people, the birthplace of Confucius—Is given tc Japan. President Wilson presented the treaty to tbe senate July 10. He cald thee tbe treaty was nothing less than a world settlement and It was not possible for him in his address to summarise It; he wouid attempt only a general characterization of Its scope and purpose. He offered to be at toe service of the renate or tbe foreign relation?) committee. He did not mention the Shading provision, or the Monroe doctrine, or our obligations under article X. Tynlcal expressions of opinion regarding his addresv follow: “Tbe address," said Senator Swantoe, Democrat, Virginia, "ta magnificent, able, eloquent and Inspiring. The reenoos prerented for the ratification of-the treaty. Including tbe League of Nations, were strong, cogent and uosnsweratile." "Soothing, melliflaous and unlnfonnIng." was the comment of Senator Me Connie k. Illinois. Taking it* stand ® President WIIaon* principle of "open covenants oi>eniy arrivevl si,” the senate committee on foreign relations to consider tbe peace treaty met Monday. Senator Johnson. California, brought forward a resolution embodying a demand for data of every character relating to the treaty and its formulation. It culled for the sappre*fted plan for a League of Nations submitted to the peace conference by Prrslde.it Wilson, which the president admit* was rejected in favor of the British plan, and also called for tbe siebbgraphlc report* of the peace negotiation*. It was adopted Tuesday by the committee. Tuesday. after a heated debate, the senate, u ithout a record vote, adopted Senator Lodge's resolution calling on President Wilson to eubmil to the senate the text of the secret treaty negotiated last year by Japan aud Germany and all other data showing overtures made by the mikado's government to the central power* during the war.
