AIM TO KILL TREATY
Senl. Hitclicoek Makes Strong Speech

America.
Declaring the real purp)ose of the
foreign relations cotittlttee majority
In amedll(Iing the Peace treaty was to
kill the treaty ontIely, and that such
a course would he suicidal to the Unit
ed Statesi, S0nn1 rH,4h0ek of Ne
briaska, Democrat ia0der, asserted in
a seilate speeh'l Wednesday Ithat the
majority of the enalt'ors never would
accept any of tihe comltnitt(ee vlngei(ps.
"y ,a vote or ilne to eight,' said
Senator Ti itcheoek, "the comm it ice on
foreign relations is 'to bing squarely
before the senate the qttcstion of (e

France, alsn under a pledge to Japan,
would ratify this change? Does any
o suppose that .lapant lersielf wou ld
submit to ftis liilation before the
eyes of tie world?
"I cannot, conceivIN of any ittmeli
gent and Candid man who would as
sune such a thing as a possibility. We
would he met by an instant refusal
to accept the ainctdtment, and then
where would the Un ited States lindi
itself in this international settlement?
We woulid find ourselves ottt lit tle
cold, isolated from the rest of the
vorld. The work of ratifying lte
treaty Would proceed without i us.

to suppose that Germany will volun
tarily make that concessio nto us if
we lose the hold upon her which this
treaty gives? .Suppose Germany

under which we agree to respect the

"Was there ever a more Insane In

mixture of poltroonery and folly it is
difficult to see which predominates.
The senator from Pennisyl van ia goes
the limit. Ife not only proposes that
we desert our friends and abandon
our obligations, but he suggests that
we relea V Gerniany from all proises
of indemnities and reparations. Why
not go further and propose that we
compensate Germany ''lat would be
