luted to amend the Yai treaty today
in the fint teit of atrength on any
ciuition alTeclinir the international
eoventntf negotiated during the
Wellington conference. 1 he vote
wit iO 10 21
Only two republican, Borah ot
Idaho, and France o( Maryland, up
ported the proposal, and only tour
democrat. Underwood, Alabama;
Pomerene, Ohio; William ol .Mil-
kiioppi and Myeri of Montana, voted
azaiiut it. It had been offered by
.Vnator l'ittnian, democrat, Nevada,
and would have amplified the pro
viMOit that existing treaty right of
the I lined Statci khall apply to tlic
mandated island of the 1'acifie.
Later, by a vote of 52 to 11. the
aenate alto rejected a proposed
amendment by Senator France to
prevent manufacture or export of in-
toxicattng liquor on the mandated
Hands. Eight democrats joined thi
time with the republican opposed to
the amendment, while not a tingle
other senator of hi own party cast
bit vote with Mr. France.
Significance la Question.
Senators differed over the tignif
icance of th two roll calls as they
bear on tha general situation of the
arms conference treaties, but the sen
ate leaders declared the result had
been to strengthen their expectation
that all the covenants would be rati
fied by safe margins, even though
there might be considerable opposi
tion on the democratic side.
Just before adjournment, another
amendment was presented by Sena
tor Pittman stipulating that under
the treaty the United States should
. be sole judge whether Japan is main
taining sufficient wireless facilities
on Yap island or whether the Ameri
can right to install a wireless station
there should be exercised. This and
several other amendments and reser
vations are expected to come to a
vote tomorrow and under an agree
ment reached yesterday the ro.U call
on ratification is to be taken not
later than 2 p. m. Thursday.
Laugh at Dry Amendment.
During today's debate further at
tacks were made on the treaty by
Senators France, Pittman, Borah and
Reed, democrat, Missouri. Mr. Reed
again charged that the republican
leaders 'were attempting to "force"
senate action before the country
could realize what the arms confer
ence agreements really embody. The
all-day onslaught passed virtually
without reply from the treaty's sup
porters. It was to the accompaniment of
repeated bursts of laughter, which
the presiding officer made no effort
to check, that the France prohibi
tion amendment was presented and
rejected. -Senator France protested
that the senate was not giving seri
ous consideration to his proposal and
Senator Reed, also lecturing his col
leagues for their mirth, caused new
convulsions of merriment on the
floor and in the galleries by pleading
that the provision be accepted,- "so
that some Japanese Volstead can
exercise his genius in the Pacific."
Foreigners Are Excluded.
Senator . Lodge declared this
amendment , wholly unnecessary,
quoting from the treaty a provision
that intoxicants are not to be "sup
plied to the natives" of the man
dated islands.. To this Senator Reed
replied that a more complete pro
hibition was preferable, including
foreigners as well as natives, so that
the world would not behold the
spectacle of a "totally sober popu
lation bossed by , Japanese officials
loaded to the guards."
The Pittman amendment regard
ing existing treaty rights also was
declared by Senator Lodge to be en
tirely superfluous and it was indi
cated that other amendments and
reservations to the proposed treaty
would likewise be opposed by the
republican leader.

Sugar Producers
Deny Agreement
on Import Duty
Restriction of Cuban Export!
to United State and Reduc
tion of Duty Denied Ly
fiallou.
New York, Feb. 28. Sidney Bal
lou. chairman of the Sugar Producer'
conference, today authorized a taw
ment that the American Sugar Pro
ducers had not agreed to a reduction
on the import duly on sugar in con
lideration of action by the Cuban
government restricting sugar exports
to the United Stale during the pres
ent year. Recent Cuban despatches
stated that the Cuban government
had considered proposals by the
American Sugar Producer and had
Igrecd to limit exports only after the
reduction in the American duty on
the Cuban sugar was secured.
"The sugar producers of the United
States," said Mr. Ballou, "uot only
have not advanced any proposal
coupling a reduction of the tariff on
sugar with a limitation of exports
from Cuba, bul they are emphatically
opposed to any such bargain. It never
has been considered by the sugar
producers of this country as a whodc
and the only possible basis for the
published reports coming from Cuba
is that an unofficial suggestion was
broached to a meeting of beet sugar
producers several weeks ago that if
they would be willing to agree on a
reduction in the tariff on Cuban
sugar from $1.60 to $1.40, Cuba
might be willing to limit exports to
this country to somewhere between
2,000,000 and 2,500,000 tons. This
proposal hai no authoritative spon
sorship and was rejected by the Beet
Sugar Producers by an overwncim
ing vote.
"The position of the sugar pro
ducers of the United States is that
they desire a tariff on sugar merely
sufficient to equalize the difference
in cost of production between them-
rtves and their (areign competitor.
