SENATOR BORAH OPPOSES
PLEDGE TO AID FRANCE
Br J. Bart Campbell
Washington, May 8. (I. ' N. S.) Re
publican senators opposed, to the League
of Nations covenant as inexiricaniy in
terwoven with the peace treaty, were not
in accord today with President Wilson's
pledge to propose to the senate that the
United States be committed to immedi
ate aid to France In the event of an un
provoked attack on that nation by Ger
many tn the future.
While Senator Borah. Progressive Re
publican of Idaho, declined' to comment
on the peace treaty as a whole, until he
had an opportunity to study the text, he
permitted it to be known that the pres
ident's pledge to France did not meet
with his approval. -SMOOT
FAVORS IT -
On the other hand ' Senator Smoot, old
guard Republican of Utah, expressed
the opinion that senators, "in particular,
and American, public sentiment in --general,
would offer no - esjeclal objection
to the United States pledging assistance
to France if that country were again in
vaded by - Germany. ' 5 Senator Smoot
I added tnat he did not anticipate the pres
ident's pledge would be one of the chief
bones of contention, when the opponents
, and proponents of the proposed- League
of Nations were called upon to consider
the resolution of ratification, framed by
' the senate foreign relatfons committee,
by which the senate will dispose of the
pesos treaty.
Both Borah and Smoot reiterated thai
they were still opposed to' the League
of Nations covenant, in its amended as
well as its orijdnal form. Representing
as they do different trends of thought
and courses of action in the - senate,
their divergence of views regarding '.the
president's pledge were privately re
flected by i' other ". Republican senators
who lean toward either . the Borah or
Smoot .viewpoint.
WAISTS 3TO ALLIANCE
"I ani opposed to the United States
entering into any kind of an .alliance
with 'any" foreign nation." Borah' de
clared' with ait -emphasis' that permitted
no doubt as to his meaning. ; "
"How is - an "unprovoked attack" , on
France by Germany to be determined?"
Borah inquired. "How is it to be de
termined when an 'attack on one nation
by another is provoked V I believe that
the American people are capable of de
ciding, when the time arrives for them
to do so, when they shall again' go to
the assistance of France..- without the
senate being asked to commit them to
an entangling alliance."
Senator Smoot declared, that tn his
judgment, France was too highly re
garded by most Americans, for there to
be any "successful opposition in or out
of the senate "to any proposal that the
United States be committed to a policy
of preparedness to help the French peo
ple again in case Germany ran amuck."
Lodge reserves comment
Although strongly intimating that he
would be found with Borah and other
Republican senators In opposition to the
League of Nations pact when the sen
ate considered it, Smoot stated that he
did not believe that' leaders of the "slim
Republican majority could muster
enough votes to prevent the ratifies
tion of the modified league covenant as
well as the rest of the treaty except
with certain important reservations."
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who
is to be chairman or the senate foreign
relations committee, was among the
senators wh,o announced, that he did not
propose to attempt a discussion of the
treaty until they had the official docu
ment before them.
A tentative program with regard to
the peace treaty 4 has already been
mapped out by Lodge and" other Re
publican leaders of the senate. Accord
lng to present Indications the resolu
tion of ratification will be reported to
the senate by the foreign relations com
mittee without recommendation.
PREPARE AMENDMENTS '
Lodge is expected, as the Republican
floor leader, to name the committee on
committees which will designate the
personnel of the Republican majority
membership of the foreign relations com
mittee. It is anticipated that the reso
lution of the ratification, will largely
reflect the views of Lodge and his
anti-League of Rations associates.
It is proposed by them that the senate
adopt the resolution of ratification in
such form as will present to other na
tions a series of interpretations of the
peace treaty, especially with regard to
the modified .League of Nations coven
ant. aswUl provide an official notifica
tion as to how the pact is to be construed
and is to be acted on thenceforth by the
treaty-making body of the United States
government.
The real fight on. the peace, treaty and
the league covenant Is expected to be on
the floor of the senate and not in the
foreign relations committee.
WOULD NULLIFY PLEDGE.
The avowed opposition of Republican
senators like Borah of Iaho ; Poindex
ter of Washington : McCormick of Illi
nois, Moses of New Hampshire. ' and
Johnson of California, to the United
States entering into any sort of a League
of Nations, or any kind of "entangling
alliances" probably will center about de
termined efforts on their part to amend
the resolution of ratification in accord
ance with - their views,, or to otherwise
recast. It so as to leave the United States
uncommitted to any definite foreign pol
icy that would tie this country tip with
any other nation.
. Administration senators are- confident,
however, they declared today, that the
"anti-leaguers,"' whether Republicans or
Democrat-will,"' "on " the ' final snow-
down." be In "such sv hopeless minority"
that the resolution of ratification will,
mors-or less, conform to the wishes of
President Wilson himself, ana the peace
treaty, with the League of Nations cov
enant, will stand virtually unaltered as
to its purposes and meaning so far as
the United, States is concerned. .
STUDYING -DOCtTM EST ; JJ
These administration senators added
that they were certain that most Repub
lican senators would . be found siding
with the administration's desire to have
the peace treaty and the .league cov
enant disposed of by the senate expedi
tiously, although a series of lengthy
speeches by both opponents and propon
ents of certain articles or clauses of
the momentous documents was, of
course, to be regarded as inevitable.
In the meanwhile, both Democratic
and Republican leaders of the. senate
were displaying a noticeable and not to
be unexpected disposition . today to re
frain from detailed public utterance on
any phase of the dogucent , until they
had been able to digest U multitudinous
details before placing themselves on
record before not only the ' American
people but the whole world. .'
Sinn Feiners Deny :
Any Aid From Russ
dared today that a report that the Rus
sian Bolshevlkl had voted ; 500.000,000
rubles a month to aid ths Sinn Fein Is
"absurd and an anti-Irish canard," This
is ths first intimation received In this
country that such a report had been cir
culated.

Styles That Are Different
Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With
' Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulslfied co
coanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and
entirely greaaeless. .It's very, cheap and
beats anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces? will last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. It makes an abun
dance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and. evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and
easy to handle. Besides, It loosens and
takes out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff. Adv.
