THE HF.E: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. OCTODER ID. 1921. Hitchcock Says 11 S. Needs Peace With Germany lS'fceary for World Rehabili tation, Declares Senator, Supporting Ratifies tion of Treaty. Wa.hington, Oct. 18 Re-etat. lislimciit ol peace with Germany ai nresmry for American and world rehabilitation n the fundamental ii-aion given in the aenate today by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking democratic member anJ former chairman of the foreign re Irtioni committee, fir favoring rat ifkalicn of the peace treaty with Germany. "The question before ui now,' (aid Senator Hitchcock, "it not a choice between the Vertalles treaty and the ncnd'ng treaty, but betweei the pending treaty and a protracted uncertainty without any treaty." Declaring that the American elec torate had "commissioned" foreign affairs to Tresident Harding, Sena tor Hitchcock continued: "I cannot bring mystelf to vote against the ratification of this treaty when I .know that the only alterna tive will be to prevent a peace set tlement with Germany and will leave everything in a state of uncertainty. This existing state of uncertainty is disastrous and I for one shall not vote to prolong it. One of the necessary steps to end it is a peace settlement with Germany and the resumption of business relations with that great country. , "The first necessary step to end this intolerable uncertainty is a peace settlement. The uncertainty was not ended by the Knox resolu tion; it cannot be ended in any other way than by a treaty with Germany and I am for ratification of this treaty because the peace settlement is the supreme need of the hour." Protects U. S. Interests. Senator Hitchcock said that the pending treaty protected American interests as much as the Versailles rovenant and that it would not Change the American attitude to ward the league of nations. "After this treaty is ratified," be declared, "we can enter the league just as easily -as we can now and this treaty does not raise the slight est obstacle againstsuch action." "I have been asked sometimes," Senator Hitchcock continued, "how I as a democrat could vote for a sep arate peace with Germany when the democratic platform of last year de clared against a separate peace wun Germany. "The answer is that that was one of the issues of the last campaign and was settled by the last campaign. It was settled against the democrats and it will never be an issue again in a campaign. It was a part of our struggle for the ratification of the Versailles treaty and we lost. We cannot revive the Versailles treaty by defeating this treaty; all we can do will be to orolone a condition of doubt and uncertainty in our relations with Germany." The senator contended that it was nign lime UT V"iLtu "resume friendly relations with the German people, and he urged that the United States appoint a member of the allied reparations commission. The present treaty, he said, would be followed bv other treaties with Germany. "This treaty, however," he added. "is the first step that must be taKen and this step has now been delayed for almost three years. I believe it should be taken and taken at once." Popcorn Man h Caught in Crash Smokers of U. S.
