To Malic Other Amendments
It Is thought that the conference
may consider other amendments, such
Soijia 'may be regarded in America as
necessary to remove tho ambiguity of
clauses that might affect the Monroe
Doctrine, the right of secession from
the league and the methods of uing
force against recalcitrant nations. i
Tho American delegates, It Is said.
may consider the presentation of such
amendments, out nro waning lor tne
return of the President before defining '
their attitude. '
"French apprehension Is growing
over the danger of anarchy In Oer- ,
many, and the French delegates, there
fore, desire to hnsten the conclusion ;
of the peace treaty and Incorporate In ,
It measures for the protection which i
they hax'e expected from tho league of i
nations. M. Pichon. reflecting this
view, said that every one wants a I
responsible government established
in Germany with which peace may be
concluded. '
T"rajire Wants Fire Million Now
"The Peace Conference committee on
reparations has estimated that 24.000.
000,000 Is the amount which the enemy
countries ought to pay thn Allied and
associated powers, says a Havas Agency
statement today.
France, the" statement adds, demands
immediate payment by the enemy of
1,000,000,000, part in gold, part in ma
terials and part In foreign securities,
recommending that the remainder of the
amount be payable In a period of from
V twenty-five to thirty-five years
Jit. pichon regards or prime impor
tance the decision of the supreme
council to create a financial section of
tho league of nations. Some dele
gates have suggested that the supreme
council has thus transferred to the
eventual league of nations the respon
sibility for handling tho subject of the
International pooling of assets and lia
bilities growing out of tho war. which
might otherwise have retarded the
conclusion of the peace treaty.
Will Report on Boundaries
Borne immediately pressing work hai
been sensibly advanced, it is thought,
by tho creation of a committee on
boundaries, which will take up all re-
riorts on frontiers and get them ready
l -for consideration by the end of the
(V xveek as directed by the council of ten.
This task will De facilitated, it is be
lieved, by the decision to deal now

active discussions.

will excuse tills Senate from Its duty to
interpose lis power against this univer
sal I'topla promised by the President.
"It Is the fabled apple of ii great hope,
which will turn lo ashes on n trusting
people's lips. The Senate never faced
n greater task nor a nobler duty. It
will not r.'itlfy'iiit emotion nor translate
an Impossible Idealism Into n weapon
of nntlonal suicide."
Senator Sherman asserted thai,
against Hie wisdom nnd experience of
the American forefathers as slimed up
In Washington's farewell address, there
now was rising up "Hie dreamer and the
bookman, the socialist, the mere haber
dasher In' phrases which intoxicate nnd
mislead." '
Tlin Senator urged that llie warning
of Hie founders of the Ameilcaii (inv em
inent tn let Kurope settle her own gu.ir
rels be regarded now. adding tint when
the l'nlted States went to war against
a common danger. It did not bind Itself
"In perpetual alliance to draw the
sword whenever and so long as tlie ma
jority of Kuropenn governments voted
It upon us."
Senator McCumber said he had not In
tended to discuss the lengue, but that
because of recent addresses by Itepub
Ucnn Senators ho feared tho country
"might bo misled Into the Idea" that all
llepublleans are opposed to a teaguo
of nny character. Home Republican Sen
ators, ho conceded, were opposed to any
world agreement.
Depicting the honor's of war, Sena
tor McCumber added: "I ennnot stand
hack and say, 'Oh, let tho world be
damned, we can take care of ourselves." "
"There Is some obligation resting on
tlio American people to help maintain
the pence of the world," he said.
Itefcrrlng to the recent nttack on the
league by Senator Polndcxter, nf Wash
ington. Hepuhllcan, Mr. .McCumber said
tho Washington Senator proclaimed
"mind our own business" as tho Ameri
can doctrine,
Senator McCumber criticized lliore op
ponents of the proposed league charter
who have advanced no substitute pro
posal. Stating that Senators Lodge and
Knox had proposed substitutes, he
added:
"Others have simply attacked, without
giving the President or our commission
ers In Htirope tho slightest Idea of what
should bo done to maintain the peace of
the world."
limiting that the proposed league
constitution was not perfect, Mr. Mc
Cumber said ho believed that the Amer.
lean representatives could and would
obtain amendments.
Demnntls Open Illsrnsslnn
Digressing from his prepared speech,
Scnntor Sherman demanded that there
be an open discussion of the league's
constitution.
"If the President Is not a political and
a governmental coward," he said, "he
will glvo It to lis. ' And If I
cannot Hnd expression of this privilege
In my own party t will go elsewheie
for It." ,
Senator France, of Mar land. Inter
rupted to say that those favoilng the
constitution of the league as It now
Mood "do not dare to let the American
peop'n discuss It. nnd they will not re
move the censorship that prevents free
speech of the prem nnd the people."
"And." Mr. Franco added, "If you do
not find tho privilege of free speech In
tho Itepiibllean or the Democratic parties
you will find It among the jicoplc of
America."

Selecting
the Right Filing Plan
Business history records no creator human
weakness than that which permits tho in
stallation of a filinjr, service wholly unsuitcd to fit
tho need for which it was purchased.
No such condition lias over been known to exist
where an Anihci'K indexing plan was installed and
maintained. This success is based on the Amborg
policy of judicious sales service which permits an
Ambcrg installation only after the requirements
of the business have been satisfactorily deter
mined to which the filing plan is then fitted.
For over half a century the name of Amberg
has symbolized the acme of perfection in indexing
and filing service. A leadership of such duration
can mean only one thing.
An Ambcrg Analysis
will .show how tho basic laws of jnilexing can be applied
to the filinp problems created in your business.
