TREATY CONFEREES
VERGING ON BREAK
Bipartisan Conference Splits on

Washington, .Tan. "0. Senate lead

the peace treaty reported today that
they were qlosc to suspension of the
conferences because ordisugrcemeut over
tho foreign relations committee reser
vation regardiue equulity of voting in

Both Ilepublicau nnd Democratic
members said the conferees were near
a comp'ctc break, hut that one more
effort would be made toward adj'tistment
late toduy. Senutor Lodge, the Ilepub
licau leuder. and Senator Hitchcock,
the Democratic leader, were said to feel
that it would be useless for the informal
committee conferences to proceed if ad
justment of differences over this reser
vation became impossible.
Other members of the two committees,
however, said that in event of dis
agreement the bipartisan conference
might bo merely suspended, in' the hope
that the dispute might be brought before
the public through Senate debate und
pressure brought lo bear on both sides
from the Senate rank and file.
Meantime some of the "mild reser
vation" Republicans and some Demo
crats were discussing the launching of
n new movement for compromise on the
treaty and one of thc former said the
movement would be put under win
within twenty-four hours unless the
treaty leaders reported progress hj the

Clemenceau 's Own Strength
Kept Him From Presidency
i .
French Feared "Tiger" Would Use Office, Fig
urehead's Place, to Wield Mighty Power
and Sap Parliament's Strength
By CLINTON W. GILBERT
Muff Correspondent of the Ihenlnr Public Ledger
Washington, .Ian, 20. France has
passed from the hands of a strong man
into thc hands of its Parliament. That
is what the defeat of Qlenienccuu nnd
the choice of thc Mjlleraud government
means. '
Of U)e great nntinus engaged in thc
war 1'Tnnce is the first to react to its
constitutional type of before the' wur.
Whut Congress has been tryine to do
in this country since Inst election the
French Chamber of Deputies lias al
ready done. '
The defeat of Clemenceau was part
of the reform. It was not primarily, as
it has been Interpreted In this country,
a victory for liberalism, although the
new president of the republic. M. Des
chnncl, is more of a Liberal than "The
Tiger." That was not the issue be
tween the two men. It did not happen
because M. Clemenceau has lost his
popularity. France wants its presidents
respectable figureheads and its premiers
its real executives. It feared, probably
witn reason, mat a man oi Ulenicnccau i
force, who had enjoyed the power that
had been his during thc war, would not
content himself with being the merely
orjiamental head of the French Govern
ment. It feared what we call over here
the aggrandizement of the executive.
Parliament Jealous of Bights
The French parliament is even more
concerned in preventing thc aggrandize
ment in thc person of the president, than
is thc American Congress. In France,
parliament is the government. It cre
ates and controls tlie executive iu the
person of the cabinet, which is n sort
of steering committee of thc legislature.
It controls this executive because it may
remove it nt any time by an adverse
vote. It elects the president of thc re
public, but it canuot control him, be
cause it elects him for u term of years
und, once lie is in office, if lie took to
asserting authority, as Clemenceau
might, he might create an executive in
dependent of parliament. lie might be
a Wilson, while France, particularly
the parliament, which is France for po
litical purposes, waus a King George
as the head of the state.
Parliament in France controls this
problem of thc aggrandized executive
by the simple process ot electing a mun

profoundest characteristic, of the I' rcueli
race is reasserting itselfi the sense of
order, of harmony, ot thc authority of
ancient truditions.
The recent Freueli parliamentary
elections, according to thc bet-informed
French here, were mlsinter- I
pretcd. They were described in the j
dispatches as n victory for Clemen
ceau. They were a victory for re- ,
form, for social reform, nnd the first
is to get back to the oiderly conduct i
of nffnirs that thc Frenchman loves I
better than anything else on the earth.
The defeat of M. Clemenceau for the
presidency is equally misinterpreted.
It is spoken of as a victory for liber
alism. It is not: it is n victory for ,
the Frenchman's beloved order. I ranee '

sy
By the Associated Press
Washington, Jn'n. 20. Rear Admiral
Henry' T. Mayo, commander-in-chief of.
the United States fleet during the wqr,
told thc Senate committee investigating'
naval awards today that his letter to
Secretary Daniels on December 23, de
daring that thc Knight hoard did not
give sufficient consideration to norHcc
at sea, particularly to the duties and
responsibilities of members of the staff
of the commander-in-chief of the fleet,
was not to be considered in any sense
one of protest. He read the letter at
the request of Chairman Hale.
Admiral Maj-o took a view diamet
rically opposed to that expressed by
Rear Admiral Sims, who told the subi
committee that thc Knight board, in
i . unr t:nn nu-nnk linr- mnrio hv
-'""-"""-' -; l- "- v
Admiral Sims that the Xtivy Depart.
meut did not co-operute fully with th'
Allies during thc wur being deferred
for, subsequent investigation.
Admiral Mayo said his letter was
writtcii after virtually nil of his reeom
ineudutions hud been changed or dis
approved by thc board or Secretary
Daniels.
"I mude very few recommendations
for awards." he said, "mostly iu thc

Sims was
'supposed lo be" under his command
during the war. Admiral Mujo said
thut. in order to facilitate mutters.
Admiral Sims did not report to him,
but directly to the Navy Department.
Luck of u well-delined policy for the
uwurd of naval honors may have had a
bearing ou the decorution situation, Ad
miral Muyo suid, uddiug:
Daniels Acted Within Rights
"Both the hourd and the secretary
were acting within their rights nud
prerogatives in changing recommenda
tions for awards."
"But don't you believe, admiral, that
the board und the secretary should huve
consulted you before changing jour rcc
oiiitnendatioiisV" uskc.t Chuirmuu llnle.
"No. I do not." replied the admiriil.
"I do not believe it would huve been
practicable. It might have been desira
ble, however." .
"I do not saj I wus satisfied with
the result of the action of the board uud
the sccretarj." lidded Admirnl Muyo,
"but I do suy thut they hud the right
to take Mich action as they wished upd
to ussunie lhe responsibility ."
Chuirmuu Hale suid then wus no rec
ord that Commander P. W. Foote, nuvy
persiiunl uide to Secretary Dauiels. hud
been recommended by uny officer for a
deeorutioii. although the secretary
iivviirded him n listiuguilird Service

I Senator Pitlmuu asked if Admiral
Mujo believed there should be a policy
Hint others who lout their ships should
be honored.
Such u policy would not be u good
thing for the service. Admiral Muyo
said, but added thut iu discs vv-'o-re tho
officer's conduct during uud i( r tho
