Tl 68TH YEAR. NO. 88. SEMI COMMITTEE SPEEDS * WORK ON TREATY, I Will Probably Complete Its Hearing With Proposed Amend_nn_ J or iiicuib luuuy. 6 C( VITAL CHANGES POSSIBLE a ii ' CI Proposal to Reduce Vote of The it British in League is Likely to h ci Come up?Caustic Talk in the y Senate. is 81 d Washington, Aug 28?Coupling its public hearings with considera- . tion of proposed amendments to the a peace treaty, the senate foreign relations committee plans an extended session tomorrow to hasten work on j ita report to the senate. After complettion of Its open meet- ^ ing during the morning, the committee will close its doors and take up t( pending amendments. It is likely that t) the flrst to be considered will propose elimination of the international s labor section and reduction of the representation of British dominnions v in the league of nations assembly. Today the committee heard several negrd delegations who proposed amendments guaranteeing race equality and providing for an American s, uitinu*tory over unrmany 8 ATriean Q colonies. The case of several mid- R European nationalities will be presented at tomorrow's hearing. tl In the senate during the day Senator Williams, Democrat, Mississippi, p a member of the committee, criticised the committee's course in its hearings which had to do, he said, not so much with settlement of the war as with s "proposals to dismember the countries which were our allies." He referred to the hearings granted Egyptian, Irish and Indian representatives and predicted that the French colonies next would ask to be heard. l> '? Senator King, Democrat, Utah, ask- 0 ed when the committees expected to 8 hear from the Filipinos, the American Indians and "the sections of New 11 York city inhabited1 by Russian 11 Jews." and Senator Williams replied ^ that "probably the only reason why they haven't been heard is because they havn't asked." In a short speech on the league of y nations. Senator Townsend, Republl- r can, Michigan, announced that he ^ could not vote for the treaty "unless t it can be made clear by reservation c if that can be done or If necessary by t amendment, that we engage only for ( those thins which v*e can perform y without injury to our own country." Among the features of the coven- v ant to which Senator Townsend ob- ? Jected were the withdrawal provi- ^ sion, the Monroe doctrine article, the j plan for dealing with domestic questions and article X. He declared that r in its present form the treaty aban- i doned "practically all the great and high principles for which the Presl- y dent contended prior to the negotiations." "This agreement," said the Michin gan senator, "proposes that we shall give everything and receive nothing. Under the treaty we shall be obliged to keep a standing army in Europe for the next 15 years. Something more than hazy dreams should be re- I quired to support such a proposal." ? Tomorrow Senator Knox, I'ennsly- ' vanln. a Republican member of the f foreign relations committee, will r A apeak on the treaty. <1 ^ F TWO MISSING AIRMEN ( ARE REPORTED FOUND ?
