WASHINGTON. June 5. In more
than five hours of heated debate the
senate ran the whole scale 'of issues
involved 1c the pesce treaty fight.
Starting with the controversy over
publication of the treaty, the discus
sion drifted to principles of the trea
ty Itself and of the league of na
tions and before it was fUlshed In
volved sharp charges or partisanship
and politics from both sides of, the
chamber.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska.
senior Democrat of the foreign re
lations committee, charged that
Chairmaa Lodge and Senator Borah
of Idaho, had made an attack 'ot
a most scandalous nature." on the
oresident la their statements tellinf
of copies of the unpublished treaty
In New York.
A searching investigation ww de
manded br the Nebraska senator.
Nothing To Conceal.
Senator Lodge replied there wa
nothing to conceal and that he would
welcome Investigation which should
iaclude also the democratic state de

similar statement and cnargea m

that the stste department had told
newspaper men financial sections of
the treaty were in the bands of fi

Polk Male Statement.
"As far as I know." said Mr.
Polk. In the first formal expiession
on the subject that has come from
the department, "the copies of fi
nancial and reparation sections are
not In the hands of uaauthorised
persons."
Meantime lt became known that
Senator Hitchcock, in asking for an
investigation of the channel through
which copies of the treaty reached
New York, was acting with the back
ing of the White House. His reso

committee to investigate was intro
duced yesterday, it was said author

to do so at a White Houte enter
ence.
This development, to-ethfr with
