Confirmation of this report, however, cannot bs cured, but the opinion is general that *his proposal may prove one of the priccipal points of the Japanese pro- posa Perhaps the idea of dismantling fortifications in Pacific,” said an cuthority vesteraay, “is a_ hope, rather than an expectation.

Legislation reorganizing the admin- istrative branch of the federal gov- ernment will probably be in such pe as to be the basis of Budget Director Dawes' alternative budget, which he is required under the law to make. That is the present hope of the administration. Walter F. Brown, personal representative of President Herding, and chairman of the joint congressional committee, believes that the proposed reorganization “is the only proper groundwork for any bud- get.” Director Dawes is in sympathy with such an endeavor. Preliminary work on zution scheme is now being rushed h that thought in mind. Dresident Harding and Chairman Brown made at two evening con- the reorgan- the reorganization program.

' Political Effect Considere Politically speaking, the indorse- iment by administration of any issue that relates to wages always as its dangers. The Wilson admin- jistration granted ctically every jdemand for wage increases and while earning the friendship of organized Jabor, it lost the support of many {emplovers who insisted that the gov- jernment was setting an uncomfortable jprecedent. It is realized by adminis- {tratior. officials that everything the | government says on the ‘subject of wages will be the basis of discussion by both side g Fortunately for the Harding ad- ! ministration the railroad probiem had [been passed over to the Ralroad Wage an i Beard, a scparate institution, and the | roads were in private hands, so that j the onus for wage reductions did not 1 fall on the administration.

Labor in Paradoxical Position. Organized labor is in a paradoxieal position, however, with respect to | the navy vard cuts. ‘Labor has taken a firm stand for disarmament. The reduction in the work in the navy yards means a curtailment of govern- {ment expenditure for armament. Labor |is_enthusiastic for disarmament and {cannot very well ‘make much of an outery against the laying off of wor {men ~who are engaged in the |armament race. | On the other hand, it is reported i that the purpose of the wage reduc- ition is not alone government eco omy, but an effort to transfer to pri- | vate interesty much of the work that has heretofore been done in govern- ment yards. The government has al- ways paid high-grade mechanics a scale of wages higher than those in private yards. This has kept within the {navy yards a class of skilled labor unexcelled outside the government. The drop in pay may drive these me- rchanics into the private yards and en- lable them to do more government work than heretofore. I It may be that the movement for lthe abolition of government navy jvards is growing. It is an age-old { controversy, with much to be said on botl sides. But labor suspects that the private interests will reap an ad- Ivantage’ from the cutting of wages jand will gather im\so many, high- lgrude workers as to enable them to i hereafter. get most of the construction work 3 Zconniwly. 1921.)

S. Issue. SENATE TODAY TAKES UP TREATY CONSIDERATION Lodge Stresses Need of Prompt Action—Borah Still Stands Alone in Opposition. The view that German ac eptance will not be necessary to validate the LWo reservations proposed by the Sen ate foreign relations committee to the Gh—nnu@ treaty was indicated today in high administration quarters. No official would express a definite position on the subject, but reued that neither of the reserva- tions would affect Germany's present understanding of the meaning = the treaty, and that therefore it would be whally unnecessary to specifically bind the German government to accept the form of ratification recommended by the committee. It was said that the only possible reason for forcing (er- acceptance of any reservation to change the actual under- standing held by German officials of ome part of the treaty, a conditicn applicable to either of the commit- it i tee reservations. Regardtd Domestic Problem. In the' view of the admiuistration the reservation proposed by Senator Lodge providing that the United St Al not be represented on any of the foreign commissions create under the treaty of Versailles except by specific i neress deais e prob- lem in which Germany has 1o interest The trezty provides that the United 1 participate in these com- be of no possible concern to the G government.

Prompt Action Urze The debate was opened by Senato Lodge. who stressed the need of prompt action on the German treaty. and also those with Austria and Hux gary. He said that he has no inten- tion unduly to press for action. but that he hoped the Senate would sus- tain him in his effort to get a quick ion of the treatic There seems to be no alternative, if these treaties are not ratified, except to remain indefinitely in a state of technical war with Germany, Austria and Hun said Senator Lodge. “I am sur. s and the Sen- ate and the country are anxious to bring that anomalous condition to an end.” Senacor Lodgé said that the sooner this technical siate of war is ended the sooner will business be, stabilized. He had read to the Senaté a note which he had received from President Hard- ing on the reopening of Congress this week in which the President strongly urged prompt action on the peace treaty In Harmony With Congresx. Tn his not= *he President declared that tne conve was with Germany and the other powers negotiated by his adm istration were in complete harmony with the, peace resolution adopted by Con- s He said that the executive had endeavored in fact to carry out the ex- press wish of Congress, and added that ing if the Sen- ate could act promptly and thus make it possible 1o put aside the last vestige of war and bring about a return of peace. Today a sinzle senator, Borah of Idaho, is :he outstanding figure in the ratification of the reaty with Germany. It is hisx con-* tention that the treaty, if ratificd, will incvitably result in the United States becoming again entangled in the af- fairs of Europe. It was to prevent such entangiements that Senator Bo- rah entered upon the fight against the ratification of the Versailles treaty and the league of nations cov- enant.
