If. KNOX MEASURE TO TURN m' DOWN PEACE TREATY IS If'.'V REPORTED IN SENATE. Committee Returns it in Amended Form* Striking Out Section Applying to America's Part in Future European ggi- ' Wars. ^; ??? Washington, June 12?Senator Knox's resolution to put the Senate ' * on record against accepting the Lea, gue of Nations in the terms of the peace treaty was reported today in -van amended form by the Senate foreign relations committee. ' The committee struck out the section of the resolution which would ;,.v_ * > declare it a policy of the Americaii government that whenever the peace of ?urope became again threatened V the United States would cooperate to Temove such a menace. v - A resolution reserving the right of 4 the American congress to determine p* the justice of the obligation imposed upon this country under the much , discussed Section 10 of the League jLffi -of Nations covenant was meanwhile todav bv Senator Sterl s ing, republican, South Dakota. The motion to amend the Knox measure was piade by Chairman Lodge and had the support of Senator Knox and all other republican members except Senator McCumber of North Dakota. No other amendments were adopted. The vote to ^ favorably report was 8 to 7. When Senator Knox later asked unanimous consent to present the favorable report in tlie Senate today, Senator Robinson, democrat, of Arkansas, withdrew bis objection, however, with the understanding that the senate would adjourn from today to* Monday, so there would be no debate this week. The w report then went in. Will Come Up This Week. Effort of league supporters in the committee to postpone committee ac' tion failed, and it was predicted the resolution would be taken up in the senate early next week, bringing the league fight into a new phase. The first motion to strike oat the \ last section failed on a tie vote but Senator Fall who had voted i*r.the ^negative moved to reconsider, giving the proposal a majority of two. Leak Inquiry Stops. The committee discussed briefly its investigation of how treaty copies reachcid New York, and the general sentiment was that the inquiry never i would'be resumed. J The motion to strike out the secN tion relating to European affairs occupied the committee during most of its two hour session. Senators Borah, republican, Idaho, and Johnson, republican, California, and others are said to have ei^aessed such pro, nounced opposition that its support ers decided the resolution never could be, approved by the committee unless the provisions were eliminated S. C WHEAT CROP IS JUST HALF ENOUGH. The government crop report issued through B. B. Hare, South Carolina Field Agent of the Bureau of fTnited States De *r ?? ? . partment Agriculture, shows that | t the wheat crop for the United States jwill be a bumper one, the total production being estimated at 1,236,000,000 bushels as compared with 91 7,000,000 bushels last year. The condition in South Carolina : r. > on June 1, is estimated at 91 per cent of normal, or 7 per cent lower t&an on May 1, the reduction being attnomea xo excessive rains, xu^u . and chinch bug. The estimated production for the State is placed at 2,180,000 bushels, as Mr. Hare has estimated as a little less than onehalf of the amount needed to meet the usual requirements for the State. The acreage of oats in South Car? olina is estimated at 5 per cent less than last year, the condition on June 1, being 86 per cent of normal. The total nroduction will approximate 9,900,000 bushels. The condition of rye is reported aft I* 88 per cent of normal, apples 55 per cent, hay 88, clover 90, alfalfa 92, ^cabbage 89, onions 90, peaches 54, pears 58, blackberries 94, watermelons 81 and canteloupes 79. 1- * 4.V~ TtTo-rr "X itrixi wur4 iw uic iiivuvu ui jL.ij.aj was far from satisfactory.
