FRANCISCO S. LATOUR l Guatemalan Government’s ? f Representative in the U. S. i BITTER DEBATE DEVELOPS Michigan Senator Sees “Vindication and Exoneration After Long Per secution\—^Three Amendments to Oust Him Defeated. Washington.—^By only five votes, 46 to 41, the senate decided to retain Truman H. Newberry of Michigan as a member, but condemned the exces sive use of money in his 1918 primary campaign as “being contrary to sound public policy, harmful to the honor and dignity of the senate and danger ous to the perpetuity of a free govern ment.” With that pronouncement against the use of large sums of money in elections, incorporated in the original resolution to retain Mr. Newberry, the tide was turned in favor of the sena tor from Michigan. Up until the time Senator Willis of Ohio demanded such a statement of policy be made, the outcome was in doubt. Prior to the final vote, the senate rejected, 46 to 41, three measures to oust Mr. Newberry. On every roll call the vote was identical, all but nine Republicans voting in favor of retain ing Mr. Newberry.

Announcement was made originally that Senator Watson was paired with Senator Norbeck, but later it was announced on the floor that Senator Watson did not wish to pair, and Mr. Norbeck voted. Senator Newberry issued the follow ing statement: “My heart is filled with thankful ness that the three years and four months of persecution have ended in complete vindication and exoneration of myself and all concerned.” The Willis amendment came like a holt out of a clear sky, and it appear ance followed a conference between President Harding and the senator from Ohio at the White House, at which Mr. Willis conceded the New berry case was discussed. It immedi ately created a situation precipitating the wrath of the opponents of Mr. Newberry. Thb resolution offered by Senator Spencer of Missouri, chairman of the Elections Committee which investi gated the charges of Mr. Ford against Mr. Newberry, provided that the con test be dismissed and that Mr. New berry be declared the “duly elected” senator from Michigan.

Dublin.—^Arthur Griffith, founder of Sinn Fein, was elected president of the Daii Eireann, after Eamon de Valera, who had resigned, an^ fifty-five of bis followers had bolted that body.

Reynolds, former Assistant Secre tary of the Treasury, who b i s been . . In charge of the ^ngul^ry^ ^Cannes, France. — Premier Briand left for Paris bearing a draft of the Anglo-French treaty, which exacts from France almost complete s^ubmls- sion on practically all points at issue. This is the price France pays for the Britis.'i guaranty for her security. The treaty does not mention any time limit, but specifically states that England is bound to assist France only in case of “unprovoked aggression on French soil.” Thus any German hostility In Po land or the Rhineland does not obli gate England to aid France. In a long memorandum meant as an electoral appeal in England. Lloyd George sets forth the conditions with which France must comply in order to make the alliance effective. These conditions, which are so se vere that ratification by the French Parliament in its present excited state is Improbable, follow: 1. France must abandon her subma rine program and undertake to dis arm at sea. 2. France must co-operate in Lloyd George’s sceme for the economic and financial reconstruction of Europe which is to be discussed at Genoa. S. Prance must recognize Russia providing the latter accepts the British- controlled banking consortium. 4. France must “co-operate with Great Britain in the establishment of peace in the Orient.” This seemingly implies the revision of the Angora treaty. 5. France must agree that the Pranco-British pact shall,be the basis for a European entente, including Rus sia and Germany, whereby the status quo of Europe may be ensured in the same way that Pacific questions are controlled by the treaty of Washing ton. . 6. All other points in dispute must be cleared up, including the Spanish rights in Tangiers, which Lloyd George wants upheld since the Spanish are guaranteeing British trade interests in this key port of the Mediterranean. In the succeeding articles it is pro vided that: First—The British Empire, with all its forces—military, naval and aerial —will side with Prance in the event of any unprovoked aggression by Ger many. Second—^Both sides are in accord for the maintenance in their full sig- .nificance of the provisions of Article 42 of the Versailles Treaty (which for bids Germany to have fortifications within fifty kilometers of the Rhine) and the articles following it (which forbid military activity of any sort by Germany in the fifty kilometer zone). Third — Should Germany institute military measures, the contracting par ties will act together immediately. The proposed treaty would operate for ten years and be renewed there after. It is understood that it will be submitted to the British dominions, but if they fail to ratify it it will remain in effect as regards Great Britain. It is indicated now that Lloyd George is prepared to offer a similar alliance to Italy in exchange for important concessions by Italy, largely financial concessions to England. Belgium is also likely to be included, but only on condition that she tears up her mili tary alliance with Prence and reverts to . her pre-war neutrality. France must accept the conditions of the agreement as drawn, the British memorandum solemnly warning, “oth- wise Europe is doomed to a social and economic catastrophe, and civilization itself endangered.” With this situation before it the action of the French Parliament will he the most fateful event since 1914. HARDING IS FOR BONUS Favors Bill to Provide Sure Method of Raising Money. Waashinton. — President Harding made it known that he is opposed to the passage of any soldier bonus bill which does not provide for a sure method of raising the money without delay.

This unqualified declaration, iti a special interview with tile news paper correspondents, came at the end of the Cannes session of the-Su preme Allied Council. In Paris, Lloyd George will pick up the threads of the negotiations for an Anglo-French al liance, and will see President Miller- and and Raymond Poincare, who is forming the new Cabinet. Although Lloyd George said that the Anglo-French treaty had pot yet been fully worked out, he. hoped thaif\ this would be possible before the Genoa gathering. Earlier, Lloyd George’s reply to Italy regarding the Anglo-French treaty negotiations brought out that Italy had been ex cluded from those negotiations, but that in common with other nations of Europe, Italy was asked to join in the pan-European treaty of peace that will be the work of the Genoa gath ering. The Lloyd George note to Italy dis closed that both Russia and Germany, as well as all other European nations, would he asked formally to affix their signatures to the document or docu ments to be drawn up at Genoa in full view of the world, pledging their good faith to keep the peace of Europe and refrain from aggression against any neighbor. They will be invited, the, note said, to join in a sort of European brotherhood of nations designed to wipe out international suspicion and end non co-operation. The Genoa confernce becomes, therefore, a sort of a second Versail les, and Italy was asked by Lloyd George to postpone her desire to join France and England immediately, a treaty between whom has been “pro posed for special reasons,” and. to join in the greatest spectacle to be staged on Italy’s own soil.
