Van derlip, president of the National City hank. In an address before the New York Credit Men's Association, de clared that prices would go higher during the period of transition from war to peace and predicted that in flation would continue for some time. "I believe that we will emerge much richer from the war," said Mr. Vander lip, "richer in spirit, richer "in our understanding of human needs and richer in material wealth. We have created big Industries, we have built ships, developed the railroads, we have built terminals and warehouses, we have become a creditor nation In stead of a debtor nation, for Europe now owes us 18,000,000,000, on which the interest is about 2500,000,000 an nually."

We cannot compel Informa tion, but we are abundnntly able to make our opinion known not only to the President but to the Allies, who have a vei^ - clear and even acute idea of the power of the Senate In regard to .treaties." To bring forward propositions not inseparably connected with the im mediate and difficult task of making a binding peace wiih Germany, Sen ator Lodge said, "may ruin all by trying to do too much at once." Such propositions, he said, were the five points enumerated. Unnecessary Program In his discussion of the freedom of the seas, the Senator called atten tion to the "strange development" in connection with the pending naval appropriation bill, the advocacy by Rear Admiral Badger of a program calling for a navy as luee as that of England by 1925. said he thought he had favored building more ships than anybody else, but that he had never contemplated such a program and did not think it nec essary. "The only naval danger that we were ob'iged to consider In the past on the Atlantic coast has ceased to be. We need a powerful fleet In the Pacific, and I feel t>ure we will have a navy sufficient to lurnish that fleet to the western coast. And yet at thlj moment we are suddenly called upon to build a floet rnlch shall be the equal to that of England." Wants Dctisilte Plan Of suggestions that a great navy Is needed for police duty In connec tion with the league of nations, the Senator said he would "not stop to ask who Is to order that navy about the world." Mr. Lodge said he would be glad if the Senate debates on peace were supplemented by some definite reso lutions expressing views on Important points. He continued: "Whether the Senate will take such action —although I know that we have very definite opinions—I cannot tell, because there seems to be a feeling among some Senators that It Is an act of Intolerable audacity for the Senate even to suggest to the Executive that it has opinions which ought to b considered. Personally 1 do not share that view. . . ." "Peace being our object, the first ■top toward peuos ta to make a peace with Germany. If the poaoe with Germany te to be durable, terms muet be exacted which will make It, ■o fur ue human foresight goes, Im possible for Germany to break out again upon the world with a war of conquest. This cannot bo done by treaty engagements and signatures to documents. At this juncture of affuirs, Germany would sign any thing, and her pledge would be as worthless as the guaranties she gave to Belgium. It Is well also to re member that Germany did not change its nature overnight when the Kaiser ran away to Holland. The deep-rooted ambitions, the evil prin ciples carefully Instilled for half a century, the barbarous methods and doctrines —all remain unaltered. I do not need to rehearse what those physical guaranties should be, for I have stated my views upon them more than once to the Senate, and I think there Is general agreement upon them not only in the Senate but among the American people. These physical guaranties all have one object, and that Is so to hem Germany In that she cannot attempt conquest In Russia or in the East, and that the Slavic populations which she has mercilessly used in her wars can never be used by her again. Indemnities Demanded "In addition there must be heavy Indemnities paid by Germany. In those indemnities, the United States must have its proportional share, not only direct indemnity for its ships destroyed by submarines and its peop'e murdered on the Lusltania and other vessels, but a suitable res titution, In part at least, of the vast I expenses forced upon us by Ger many. "It will be for the peace confer ence to determine whut disposition should be made of the German colo nies, but one thing essential, and that is that they should not bs re turned to the tyrannical mlsgovern ment of Germany and that she should not be deprived of those means for extending her commerce and building Up military outposts In all parts of the world. League Is Denounced "It is the duty of tho Allies and the United States to meet and de termine what terms they will impose upon Germany and then and not until then, call In the representatives of Germany and impose the terms upon them." Of the League of Nations pro posal, Senator Lodge said no definite plan has yet been put forth that would not cause indefinite contro versy. "The attempt, to form now a League of Nations —and I mean nn effective league, with power to en force its decrees," ho said, "can tend only to embarrass the peace that we ought to make at once with Ger many. If it were successful and were to come before the Senate, it might endanger the peace treaty and force amendments. . . . Son Problem Not Urgent "Are we prepared to allow any association of nations by a majority vote to order the troops and ships of tho United States to go to war? Unless we are prepared to dp so, we are not prepared to join a league of nations which is going to enforce peace." In - urging postponement of the question of freedom of the seas, Sen ator Lodge said It was another un defined question, and declared that both America and England would Give Yourself a Christmas Present That Will Last All Year. Store you car at the Rex where you will get first-class accommoda tions, first-class service and first class satisfac tion all the year round. That will be some Christmas present.

' Discussing secret diplomacy, the Senator said this point of President Wilson's need not bo Incorporated In the peace treaty because secret treaties never hnvo and novel - tan exist in this country, . Hussion Problem Urging postponmcnt of action on the matter of economic barriers, he said "Its settlement Is not In tho least essential to ending the war by a peace with Germany," All civilized nations, he urgod, musts aid In restoration of Russia. "We have no present government In Russia," he said, "with which any one can deal Intelligently. The thing that cal's Itself n government Is no more fit to be dealt with In negotiations than a hand of anthro poid apes. There Is nothing that seems to Indicate that the itusslun people have the power toextricate themselves. We have troops In Rus sia. Unfortunately, they are so few that It Is greatly to be feared that they are wholly Inadequate for the work they may have to do."

He disapproves of the suggestion made by Director General MeAdoo that the Federal control of tho .rail roads be extended to five years.
