The million dollar liberal suit of the city of Chicago against the Chicago Tri bune opened today with counsel for the newspaper asking the court to uphold a general demurrer based on the constitutional right of the freedom of the press. If granted, the demurrer would have the effect of dismissing the suit on the grounds of insufficient evidence. The suit involves the question of whether a newspaper may be sued for libel to the extent of its total value and virtually be put out of business if the suit is won. The libel action grew out of statements made by the Tribune In the last city election criticizing the present city administration for the manner In which the muni cipal finances were handled. The city contends that the arti cles and editorial expressions on which the suit is based damaged the city's credit in disposing of municipal bonds.

Opposi tion to the peace treaties negotia ted recently by tbe administration with Germany. Austria and Hun gary developed today when tbe senate foreign relations commit tee began consideration of the pacts transmitted yesterday by President Harding. Senator Borah, republican, Ida bo, leader of the "Irreconcilablee" in tbe flgbt against the treaty of Versailles, explained the basis of bla opposition to ratification of the new treaties to the commit tee which considered only the Ger many pact and adjourned until to morrow without taking any ac tion. Senator Borab'a objections to the new peace arrangement, 11 waa said were based primarily o tbe acceptance In the new pacts of provisions of tbe treaty of Ver sallies. The effect, it waa under stood, Senator Borah contended, waa to take America "through the back instead of the front door," Into European entanglements. Reports from the committee's executive session were that Sena tor Borah contended that ratifica tion of tbe new treaties would en tall a moral If not a legal obliga tion to retain American troops In Germany. Another major point of his opposition waa said to revolve around American representation on the reparations commission. Appointment of such an American commissioner, he was said to have argued, would follow necessarily and hold American representation In European financial affairs, en tailing Interest In Europe's politi cal problems for at leaat fort years the period fixed for pay ment of the German Indemnity. The points brought out by Sena tor Borah were said to have been received with particular Interest by Senators Johnson, republican, California; Brandegee, republican, Connecticut, and Shields, demo crat, Tennessee, and other senate "Irreconcllables."
