Private enterprise, it eaid, from now on must keep up commerce with Europe Answering the majority, the re- Port said exports to Germany since the armistice amounted to only fourteen cents worth of American products for each per- son in Germany, or two cents per Person per month, “Heferring to the action of the majority of the committee,” eaid the Teport, “we unite in opposing and condanning the recommendations, ‘both as to textual amendments and as to proposed reservations, As far as the proposed textual amendments are concerned, we see no reason to dis- cuss theim character at length, “In our opinion they have no merit, but: whether they be good, bad dr indifferent, their adoption by the Senaite can have no possi- ble exvppt to defeat the par- mn ofthe United States in the treaty, \None of them could by any poswbility be accepted) even by the great nations asso- ciated with the United States in the war, and one of them could by any possiblity be dictated to Germany. To adopt @ny one of them, therefore, is. equivalent to rejecting the treaty. To adopt an amentment or to re- Ject the treaty means ,that the United States will sacrifice all of the con- ceasions secured from @ermany by a dictated peace, While these conces- sions are not so large astthose which other nations associated with us se- cure in reparations, they are never- theless of tremendous importance and could be only secured under a dic- tated peace. TWELVE CONCESSIONS WHICH U. 8. WOULD LOSE. “First—Germany’s acknowledg- ment of responstbility for the war and her promise to make restitu- tion for damages resulting trom it “Second—Germany’s promise to ‘us in the treaty that she will not impose higher or other customs, duties or charges on our goods than those charged to the most favored nation and will not pro- hibit or restrict, or discriminate imports directly or indi- rectly from our country. “Third—Germany’s promise to us in the treaty that she will make no discrimination in Ger- man ports on shipping bearing eour flag and that our shipping in German ports will be given as favorable treatment as German ships receive. “Fourth—That for six months after the treaty goes into effect a ND no customs duty will be levied Against imports from the United States except the lowest duties that were in foree for the first six months of 1914, “Fifth — Germay's agreement with us that the United States shall have the privilege of re- viving such of the treaties with Germany as were in existence rior to the war as we may alone jesire. “Sixth—Germany’s us to restore the property of our cltizens seized in Germany or to compensate the owners. “Seventh—Germany’s very im- portant agreement validating all acts by the United States and by the Alien Property Custodian by which we seized and proceeded to liquidate —$900,000,000 worth | of promise to rty in the United States be- fonging to German citizens. COULD NOT COLLECT DAMAGES | FOR LUSITANIA. “Kighth—Germany’s agreement ‘that the proceeds of the sale of these properties may be used to compensate our citizens if Ger- many fails to do #o, or to pay debts which Germany or Germans owe to American citizens, or to pay Americans pre-war clatms against Gefmany for praperty de- stroyed and lives taken similar to the losses because of the de- struction of the Lusifnia. “Ninth — Germany's agreement that she will compensate her peg citizens for property, patents an other things belonging to them in the United States seized during the war by our Government. “Tenth — Germany's agreement that no claim can be made against the United States in respect to the use or sale during the war by our Government, or by persons ‘acting for our Government, of any rights in industrial, literary or artistic property including pat- ents. “Eleventh — Germany’e agree chant that the United States shall retain over 500,000 tons of German shipping seized in American ports which much more than compen- ates us for shipping loss during war. the weitth—We would lose our membership on the Reparations Commission, which will be the most | international body ever created, and which will have enormous control over the trade and commerce of Germany, with the rest of the world for years to come. Tt not only supervises the use of German economic re- sources and the payment of repa- rations, but it can restrict or ex- pand Germany's imports and dis- tributes much of her desirable exports inctuding dyes. In no way can the United States assure ftself against discrimination in German imports and finanolal policies unless we have a mem- ber upon this great Reparations Comminsion.

It is not alone for their rare beauty,'their rich color combinations or the gocprenenens of their designs that they are so keenly desired—but also, because of a subtle something that draws our interest—something akin to mystery—a sort of charm lured from the Orient. Woven into the fantastic figures of a genuine Chinese Rug are the mysterious symbols of a nation that had attained civilization while we were yet a primitive people. They have an import other than beauty, these symbols, which holds our interest and inspires us with a desire to possess them.
