Vill 80,000 U.S. EMPLOYES LOSE RETIREMENT PAY Thousands Holding Jobs by Presidential Order Not Entitled to Compensation Accorded Civil Service Workers WASHINGTON, March 8.—Approximately eighty thou- sand government employes, holding their positions by presi- dential order, are held to be not entitled to the benefits of the retirement act in an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty and transmitted to which administers the act. TRIBUNE HAS NOTHING TO TAKE BACK’ Apropos Mr. Giblin’s denial ‘of ‘The Tribune's news report of 3 meeting of the Cty Council Monday evening, in which it was stated that Mr. Giblin had been “called” by two members of the Council on Parson brands it as a lie. all is to the effect that The Trib- une’s mews report was correct. The only omission made was in some wi Banguage directed at Mr. Giblin. END OF ANGLO-JAP ALLIANCE 15 MADE GAGTS OF TREATY REQUEST the interior department Secretary Fall, in announctng the opinion today said that out of 8,000 employes who have been retired un- Wer the act, 6,400 ha! been receiving compensation {llegally and that upon receipts of the attorney general's rul- ing an order was issued that no more certificates for payment be issued. ‘The attorney general's opinion held that only those in the government Service holding thelr positions as the result of competitive examinations were entitled to the benefits of the retirement act. As a consequence of the ruling, Seo- retary Fall said he had prepared a bill which has been submitted to the Proper committees of congress for their consideration in case it is con- gress’ destre to incorporate within the benefits of the act the 80,000 em- ployes and to protect in the future those who have already been retired. Tho ‘aterior secretary said that those who have been paid {legally un- der the opinion would not be called upon to refund these amounts to the government. About 50 per cent of all those em- Pluyes who having reached the age of retirement and are stil! retained on the rolls in active service, are among those who would not benefit under the retirement act, Secretary Fall sald. (Continued trom Page One) ‘pnee. Personally I believe that it tn- ‘volves tho United States in no obliga- ‘tion except to meet with the other signatories and consult in case of any controversy arising or in case of ag- gression by some outside power not a wsignatory. I repeat that I think the ‘obligation to meet and consult is the ‘only obligation existing in this treaty, jand the main purpose of the treaty is ‘attained by the termination of the ‘Anglo-Japanese alliance. “I have already shown the total dif- ference which exists between this ‘treaty and the AngloJapaneso alli- ‘ance. There is no likeness between that alliance and this treaty. Far from taking the place of the other, this treaty simply enabled England, ‘Australia and New Zealand to take ‘part in terminating the alliance, ‘which is complete, create the situa- tion in which it was possible to bring about an agreement for the reduction of nayal armament. While that alli- ance existed a reduction of naval armament was difficult if not imprac- ticable. i “Senators should bear in mind that the defeat of the four-power treaty swould endanger the treaty for the imitation of naval armament, and the failure of the naval treaty. would -shock and startle the world and bit- terly disappoint the American people. * The purpose of the American dele- gation in the conference, and, I think, of all other members of the confer- ence besides those of the United States, was to endeavor to do some- thing at once practical and concrete which would promote. the peace of the world. They believed that this could be done without “alliances or penalties. Such experiments have been made in the past in isolated in- stances, but I venture to assert that never has the experiment been at- ‘tempted on such a scale or under sim- ilar conditions. We have through the war, the like of which the world has never seen. The misery and horrors of the great war must never come again if we can do any- thing to stop it. We must try our best to secure this great result. “I know it ts only an experiment, but I have faith to believe that the Detter instincts of mankind are all with us in the effort. If we continue io preach suspicion and hatred of wther nations, if ws decline to deal swith them and believe they all are ac- tuated by the basest of motives, noth- ing can ever be done I have faith to Delieve that thir cffert, iMlustrated by this treaty now before us, will have # large and real result in maintaining the world’s peace. If we fail the out- Jook for the future is dark indeed. The best hope of the world for a future where a peace may prevail and Gwar diminish is in the people of the United States. If we fail who can hope to sueceed? We called this: con- ference. We proposed tho treaties, ‘agreements and declarations in which the conference culminated. Are we ‘now to stumble and fall at the thres- hhold of the undertaking which we de- signed and brought to fulfillment? Are Wwe to sink back into a sullen solitude ® prey to dark suspicions, a hermit nation armed to the teeth and look- ing forward always to wars as insep- ‘rable from the existence of mankind pon ithe earth? = * * “The United States has never yet permitted faflure or defeat to be writ- ten in her history. Sho will not per- mit it now." LANSING-ISHIT AGREEMENT SUPERCEDED. « WASHINGTON, March 8—The Lansing-Ishii agreement has been com- plotely superceded by the nine-power treaty relating to China now before the senate, President Harding inform- ed the senate today in response to the recently adopted Borah resolution. The executive added that the four- Dower treaty did not refer’to China and does not directly bear upon the Lansing-Ishii notes. “Tho so-called Lansing-Ishii agree- ment,” the president declared in a let- ter to the senate, “has no binding ef- fect whatever, either with respect to the past or to the future, which is in any sense inconsistent with the prin- ciples and policies explicitly declared in the nino-power treaty.” The president added that the four power treaty “does not refer to China and hence does not directly bear upon the Lansing-Ishii notes which related exclusively to China,” but said that the four-power pact in his opinion was “an essential part of the plan to cre- ate conditions in the Far East at once favorable to the policiés we have long advocated and to an enduring peace.” “The negotiations of this treaty,” the president said, referring to the nine-power pact, “is in itself the most formal declaration of the policy of the executive in relation to China and sup- ercedes any executive understanding or declaration that could possibly be} asserted to have contrary import. If the senate assents to this treaty, the principles and policies which the trea- ties declares will be supported and en- forced by a binding international agreement.” | Teutons Express Doubt on Plans BERLIN, March 8—(By The Asso- ciated Press.}—The plan of Senator Robert L.
