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."

AT THE THEATERS
TOSR favorites of the musical comedy
stage. J.oulfte Dresser and Jack Gard
ner, are the stars of the current Or
pheum bill. Their lyric offerings are
their exclusive property. One of the fea
tured acts is the novelty of a very un
usual type done by Tarzan. who Is pre
sented by the celebrated French trainer,
Kellx Patty. A decldely amusing skit, "A
Lesson In Golf," Is contributed by Ed
Flanagan and Alex Morrison.
Taylor Holmes will have a busy day,
on this the final 24 hours of his stay
In our city. He Is the guest of the Ro
tary club at their regular weekly noon
day luncheon at the Fontcnelle today:
has a matinee performance of "Smooth
As Silk" at the Branclels this afternoon,
gives a special Kipling recital after the
matinee today and the final performance
of his crook play tonight. ,
Prospective brides will do well to wit
ness the sumptuous Wedding Dells num
ber which is the finale of Harry Hast
ings' "Knick Knacks," which has estab
lished the fact of being the most alto
gether pleasing musical show to be seen
at the Gayety thus far. The costuming
of the number Is most unique and to cap
the climax the happy couple Is seen to
board a Pullman to being life's happy
Journey. As a stage picture It is a most
gorgeous vision. Ladles' matinee at 2:15
daily all week
Leopold Godowsky occupies a unique
position In the musical world, for in his
Interpretations of the masters he makes
his auditors lose sight of the composer
In thelr'admlratlon of the artist. Critics
are unanimous In saying that Godowsky
excels all others in the purity of his style,
his kaleidoscopic tintlngs and his poly
phony. Classlo drama will hold the stage at
the Brandeis theater forvthree perform
ances beginning Friday night, when John
E. Kellerd cames here with his company
of Shakespearean actors for a brief en
gagement. Kellerd, who has achieved
distinguished reputation as an. inter
preter of the Shakespearean drama has
chosen Hamlet for presentation Friday
night. At the Saturday matinee He will
appear as Shylock In The Merchant of
Venice, a character which gives him ex
cellent opportunity to demonstrate his
versatility, and Saturday night will offer
Macbeth as his closing program. It Is
In these three roles that Kellerd has
scored his chief success, he having ap
peared 102 successive times in New York
as Hamlet, and having scored a similar
success in the other roles.
"The Champion" In whn Grant Mitch
ell comes to the Brandeis theater on Wed
nesday end Thursday, October 26-27, not
only holds the record for laughs but It
has the distinction of never having had
an adverse criticism from the press since
it was first produced more than a year
ago. The play ran all last season at
the Lonacre theater, New York, and
comes here direct from a successful run
at the Cort theater. Chicago. Sam H.
Harris Is sending here the original New
York company and production. Mr.
Mitchell for two years was the star of
"A Tailor-Made Man" and in "The Cham
pion" he Is said to have an even greater
opportunity than 'he did In that much
enjoyed play.
A musical act with a "punch" is that
presented by Fred Swift and Klttey Daley,
appearing at the Empress for the last
times today, as they rented their music
from a number of automobile horns placed
on a table, which they punch to get the
required notes. The real big feature of
their act is their rendition of popular
melodies from a number of peculiar In
stuments that are concealed all over their
bodies. To watch their maneuvers as
they reach about their person to strike
the right note furnishes laugh-compelling
entertainment, A melange of singing
and dancing Is offered by the Alfred
Powell troupe, who provide entertainment
of a superior quality.
