VOTE ON EACH 9 TO 7. McCumber Assails Shantung Amendment as “Poisoned Dagger” in Peace Treaty. ‘WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Under a Dianket amendment tothe Peace Treaty, agreed to to-day by the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Committee, American representation would be ctimtuated fons: the! wartous ¢mterna- tinal’ comimissions which are to supervise Wuropean reconstruction with the exception of the Repara- ions Commission and such others as are to be appointed by the League) of Nations, The change would affect about @ score of commissions and would change the language of the Treaty in more than fifty places. The committee divided along strict party lines, with nine Republican ‘votes cast in the affirmative and seven Democratic votes in the negative, Not all of the Democrats were present, but Wy agreement their votes were cast. Senator McCumber of North Da- kota, Who voted with the Democrats in opposition to the Shantung amend- ment, adopted Saturday, was the only Republican absent. His vote was not cast. Although the committee acted specifically on only four of the Treaty provisions in question, there was an agreement that the votes on these weparate provisions would be only perfunctory and to carry into effect the blanket proposal. ALL AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY SENATOR FALL. ‘The amendments were presented by Senater Fall, Republican, New Mex- too, who sald he excepted the Repara- tions Commission because there was certain decisions affecting American ebipping interests involved in the Commission's work. Therthange also has no effect on provisions like that regarding the Gaar Basin, where the Commission is to be appointed by the League. The first amendment adopted eliminates the United States from membership on the International Commission, which will determine the boundary between Germany and Belgium. ‘The committee struck out of Ar- ticle 85 of the treaty the words “and associated.” This article creates a Boundary Commission of seven, five members of which are to be appoint- ed by “the principal allied and as- sociated powers.” Elimination of the words “and associated” removes the United States, which during the war and the peace negotiations was known as an “associate” and not an ally of the Entente Powers. ‘The committee also voted to give an (Continued on Second Page.) ->———_- THR TONIC YOU NEED Wather Joba's Medicine—pure food ae er th, City from the D RESTAUM., Adyt. etch teied She = potatoes bee . ‘wl ira’ boa wring lamb TO BE-NEW YORK’S GUEST DURING HIS STAY IN CITY Hylan Also Telegrapins for War De- partment Plans to Facilitate Ar- rangements for Welcome.
