The minority denied the claim put, forth in Chairman Lodge’s report that the peace conference still was in s sion and has power “to bring Germ representatives ta Paris,” saving that such power of compulsion had been exhausted and that Germany had closed the chapter by signing and rat- ifying. “If an amended treaty is not signed by Germany,” the report added, “then it is in none of ts parts binding on her.” The report mentioned 12 conces- sions the United States would lose by failure to ratify the treaty, these in- cluding industrial and economic ad- vantages and agreements. See Attack on League. Reservations proposed by the ma- jority, the report said, ‘‘were for the purpose of destroving the league’ Which has stood the test of world-wide criticisms and unlimited attack.” The minority recommended that the work of the peace conference be con- firmed and the peace of the world ad- vanced by ratification of the treaty described as the best hope of the world, “even if like all instrumentali- ties it be not divinely perfect in every detail.” The repart dustrial world contended that the was ‘“in ferment, financial world in doubt and com- merce halted, while delay on the treaty had been caused by a majority of the committee known to be out of harmony with the majority of the sen- ate and the majority of the peopie.” This was declared to be government by obstruction as well as by minority. 5 Business Has Suftered. oxport trade the report said, had ffered because of delay in ratifica- tion; that private credit awaited for peace, and that this government which has been advancing to European gov- ernments has about reached the end of its authority given it by congress.
