BORAH DESIRES
REFERENDUllN
NATIONS' LEAGUE
Idaho Senator Delivers Promised At
tack Upon Proposed League of Na
tions and Declares Ex-President
Taft's Assertions Are Misleadino
Departure From Traditions,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Senator
Borah of Idaho, republican member
i of the foreign relations committee,
delivered in the senate today his
j promised attack on the proposed
League of Nations and referred to
i It as "the most radical departure
I from our policies that we hare ever
I considered."
i Statements made by former Presi
dent Taft that the proposed League
of Nations did not contravene with
Washington's doctrine against engag
ing In entangling alliances with for
elgn countries, or with the Monroe
doctrine, were declared by-Senator
Borah to be "to the utmost degree
misleading."
Wiints ltcfereiiidum
"The people of the United States
have the undoubted right," he said,
"to change their form of government
and to renounce their established
policies whenever they see fit. I
would not oppose any change in an
orderly fashion as may meet with the
approval of the people at any time.
I believe, however, that whenever.
that radical departure from estab
lished policies is proposed, the people
ought to be consulted."
Senator Borah also declared that
before any action was taken upon the
question it should be referred to a
vote of the people of this country.- ,
Senator Borah said he would have
deterred his remarks upon this sub
ject until later had it not been for an
Interview recently given by former
President Taft in which Mr. Taft as
serted that the program did not de
stroy the doctrines of Washington or
the Monroe doctrine.
Says Taft Misleading
That statement. Senator Borah
stated, was not founded upon fact
and while he did not believe Str. Taft
Intended to mislead, yet his state
ments were to the utmost aegree
misleading."
To Mr. Taffs suggestion that op
ponents of the league were "reaction
ary," Senator Borah declared that
the word "Is not unfamiliar in the
ex-president's vocabulary."
Many expressions of President
Washington against entangling Euro-
nean alliances were cuea o mt.
Borah, who said the distinctive lea-
ture' of the first president's adminis
tration was its foreign policy.

Allied Food Specialist Returned From
Extensive Investigation Savs Kai
ser's Reaime Everywhere In EvU
rience Present Lull Unnatural and
Revolution Likely. " ' ' I
; , -.' i
PARIS, Feb, 21. (By Associated
Press.) "The Germau government
Is the same bureaucratic regime of
the kaiser's day, with the same atti
tude toward labor and capital and
does not represent forces which caus
ed the revolution," says Dr. Alonao
E. Taylor- food specialist, who has i
Just returned from Germany, where
he made extensive investigations la
behalf of the supreme food relief
council. -, . .
"Count von BernBtorff Is In chargd
of American affairs and the foreign
office and the bureaucrats ot th
old school are In evidence every
where," he added. "The Germans are)
becoming Russianized. ' They arn
afraid to put untried men into tha
service and consequently they tolert
ate the old order of things."
To Restore Militarism
The German army has apparently
been disorganized and demobilized!
Dr. Taylor says, , but he believes Its
will be possible for a well-organized
bureaucracy to restore militarism
Many Germans believe they will re
cover their battleships and merchant
fleet and do not expect to give up any,
territory and in Dr. Taylor s opinion,
a grave political upheaval Is probablo
with the signing of the treaty of
peace. . . .
The present lull Is regarded as un
natural by Dr. Taylor, who says It
wns possibly created by the payment
of'large indemnities to unemployed
persons. ' Unemployed men in Ber
lin are paid eight marks per day;
while railway workers and street
cleaners receive only six marks dally4
Consequently the men prefer-to re
main idle. ' . J
Public Morale Low
Plays so immoral that they would ,
have been prohibited under the im
perial regime .are now tolerated a
looting is common and the general
public morale is very low, Dr. Taylor,
remarks. He says the food situation!
is critical and that In spite of tho
great reduction made in rations, the!
nation cannot live until next harvest
unless supplied by outside powers.
The death rate has Increased, espec
ially among children between fiva
and fifteen years of age, children un
der two years faring better than the
rest Uiru self-sacrifice of their moth
ers. Lack of fuel and raw matorlal
has closed virtually all Industries and
the railroads are hampered because
they have little coal. Labor condi
tions are so bad at the coal mines
that there is little prospect of att In
crease In the fruel output. ,
