The Repub lican plan of making pence with Gcr- mnny by resolution slmllnr te the Knox resolution may be changed. Ex-Secre-tary Reet's advice te amend and adept the treaty rather tbnn mnke pence by resolution mny be followed. Republican lawyers who will partici pate in the coming conferences en the Lengue of Nations nt Marlen and who have been studying the trenty with a view te these conferences, are rcnchlug the conclusion thnt net only Is entering the League of Nations, nltercd nnd amended, the only practicable course, but thnt adopting the Versailles treaty with amendments Is the only practicable course of entering the league at all. If one leaven the extreme "bitter enders" like Jehnsen and Berah out of consideration, n grent change can be found In the nttitude of the Republicans since the responsibility et deciding upon n foreign policy lins fnllen upon them ns n result of the election. There is no longer the eusy confidence that nil the pnrty lins te de is te pnss the Knox resolution mid then negotiate for u new nssocintlen of nations. The truth of whnt Mr. Reet cabled from Ihirepe iu August is beginning te be recognized. Peace Resolution Impracticable It will be recnlled thnt the cx-sccrc- tary of stute warned the Republicans responsible for Mr. Harding's campaign that the mnkinc of nence by resolution wns no longer justifiable, that the proper course wns te adept the Ver sailles trenty with amendments and te use the present Lengue of Nntlens ns the basis of internatiennl association.

Tlie vitality which the assembly of the league nt Geneva hns shown, has strengthened this improssieu. Outside of the extreme "bitter-enders," tlin party mny be said te be ngreed upon this policy. Treaty and taague Siamese Twins And, when lawyers examine tlie trenty with reference te this course, they nre struck with the fact that President Wil Wil eon tied the lengue covenant into the trenty in such a way that the two arc inseparable. It Is no longer thought possible te niake peace by resolution and then propose te change the league cove nant nnd enter the league. Te reject the trenty outright nnd ne gotiate anew, it is argued, would brins about chaos. It would net be possible in new negotiations te obtain from Ger many terms te favorable ns were ob. tnlned nt the peace conference In Paris. The European powers would oppose any program which would involve a rejec tion outright by them of any part of the Versailles Treaty. Moreover, the League of Nations is se tied into the pence treaty thut te abandon the present lengue und set up n new nssociatien would be te reject impertnnt pnrts of the trenty nnd im pnir its validity. And for us te enter the lengue without ratifying the treaty would involve us in nn association which wus intimately related te a treaty iu which we had no part. More Drastic Reservations If the Versailles Trenty is ratified it will net be witli mere reservations te the league covenant, ns was proposed when the Ledge resolutions were adopted by a majority of the Sennte The Republican party is net new in the mood in which it wus then. The Ledge reservations nre net new re gnnled as adequate te protect the conn cenn try's interests. Mr. Hnrdiug, who voted for these reservations, lias de clared he would net de be again. The league covenant will be amended se ns utterly te tnke nway from the league uny semblnnce of an interna tional government. Ne internatiennl executive will remain, only nn Interna tional conference nnd court. And the treaty itself will be amended drastleally se far ns our part iu it und our obli gations under it nre concerned. In Republican circles, Jehnsen and Hernh aside, ene hears new here near se much bitterne.-s against either the treaty or the league us formerly.

They will be pleased te see bemething of Wilsen's work sur vive, ns it will if (he treaty, though amended, is adopted nnd if tlie league is made the basis of the new associa tion of peoples. The path of the Republicans bristles with practical difficulties. The party weuts te mnke peuce quickly. It is going te be hurd te de it, even by amending the treaty und the covenant.

Map Out Program te Bring About Better Understanding With Employers HOOVER GREATEST HOPE FOR HUMANIZING BUSINESS Joint Councils in Various Indus tries Included in Compre: hensive Proposal OPPOSE WAGE REDUCTION Series of Round-Table Confer ences Suggested by Work men's Leaders llu a Staff Correspondent Washington, Nev. 10. Approval of nn educational program in behalf of labor's principles nnd views of indus trial problems is the first concrete re sult of the labor conferences which have been In progress for the last year, cul minating in tlie meeting of the execu tive council of the American Federation of Lnber bore this week. Although labor's plans have been closely guarded, it was learned au thoritatively today that tliis educational project, which is te develop the broad est scope und is designed te reach em ployers, the public end the ranks of ergauized labor itself, has been virtually adopted by the labor executives, and that developments of the first im portance mny be. expected in the near future ns It is put into execution. Underlying this plan is n purpose te bring nbeut n better understanding be tween workers and employers, con sidered by labor lenders ns highly essential te the solution of existing economic problems. Count en Hoever's Aid Herbert Hoever, who conferred with the executive council Tuesday, dis cussing various phnses of the economic situntlnn, is an important factor in labor's calculations. He Is looked upon ns..prebnbly the strongest link between employers nnd lnber, nnd lnber chiefs nre counting en his support for nt least part of their program. He hns the entire confidence of labor leaders here and the latter would net be surprised if he were te issue a state ment shortly delineating his views of the mutual responsibilities of workers and employers. It enn be stated definitely, however, thnt there is no agreement that he will de se. Matthew Well, one of the vice presi dents of the Amerlcnn Federation, who has frequently noted as spokesman for President Samuel Gerapers in present ing Inber's viewpoint, admitted today that luber enn only ebtnln adherence te its Uews bj a "process of education," aud thnt nn educational project ns out lined Is "within reason." Frem ether sources it wns learned it has been vir tually ngreed upon by the executives of eivuiiizcd labor nnd is te be put into execution nt once. Mere Light and Less Heat Laber leaders who ure directing the new plan nre convinced mere light nnd less hent is essential te the intelligent confide ration of Industrial difficulties. Vice President Well explained thnt lnber feels existing economic problems nte confused in the puljlic mind. Lnber piopeses te endeavor in lnrgcr degree than ever before te present these prob lems as it sees them, confident that when their character is thoroughly com prehended the solution will become np 1 arent. An the initial step in tlie campaign of enlightenment it is proposed imme diately te inaugurate n series of con ferences with employers, engineers, educators, the churches and representa tive groups In and out of industry. These conferences are te be informal in character. If present plans nre carried out. they will be in tlie nature of round table discussions of economic problems, te the end thnt labor's viewpoint shall beieine mere clenrly understood. When this foundation has been Inid, it N proposed as the next step te bring forward ii scries of bpecific recommen dations representing labor's plan for meeting these problems, most of which have been put forth iu tlie past nnd none et which involves nny new princiulcs. Many Pressing Problems Among existing problems, labor lead ers see ns the most pressing these re lating te unemployment, wage reduc tions, unrestricted immigration, ugitn ugitn tien by employers for the "open shop" industry, nnd what labor considers "op pressive and restrictive legislation," in cluding measures for compulsory arbi tration and dcn.Uug tlie right te strike. Laber especially condemns the Kansas industrial court law, contending it seta up a form of industrial slavery. Here Is labor's program for meeting: existing conditions, mid which it will endeavor te promote by educational processes, ns outlined by n high labor eliieinl : First. Minimise unemployment nnd the "turnover" in industry by .scientific study of labor needs; sea sonal occupations; working condi tions with special reference te the human element, iu industry, nnd of the processes of production in in (lastly. Second. Amend immigration law te provide for clastic regulation of immigration, bused en labor supply and demand. Third. Ediicnte employers te the view that only through trude union ism enn industry be stabilized and radicalism eliminated. Fourth. Repeal "oppressive nnd restrictive lcgl -lotion" new iu effect f.nd pt event euuctnient of similar laws iu tlie future, en the theory that such legislntien muses unrest instead of curing it.
