LEAGUE CONDEMNED AS
BREEDER OF MORE WAR
Responsibility Of Senate in
Pact Declared Esual To
That Of President.
By L. C. Martin
Washington, Sept, ;10. Accompanied
by a six page report, coutaiuing sharp
and bitter phrases, directed nt President
"Wilson, the peace treaty was submitted
to' the senate by the foreign relations
committee. "" :
" Tho import was- filed by Senator
Lodge and ieiresents the views of the
-vanajortiy o the committee. A minority
report will' bo filed by Wehntof Bitch
cock '"'tt '' '- "
Half of the report is taken up with
a defense of the committee work, critic
' cism of President Wilson, answers to
arguments for the treaty advanced by
the president and its supporters and
condemnation of the league of nation!
as a breeder of war. ,
The remainder deals with the textual
-amendments and league reservations
..adopted by the committee.
The demand for speedy action by the
. committee was "largly the work of the
administration and its newspaper or
gans," the report gays and adds that
.the same demand was ''disseminated by
certain great banking firms which had a
. direct pecuniary interest" in early rati
fication of the pact.
The report also points out that other
nations beside this hare not ratified the
treaty.
Criticising the president because the
committee lacked information, the re
port declares "the responsibility of the
senate in regard to this treaty is equal
to that of the executive" and adds that
the committee was "hampered by the
impossibility of securing full informa
tion to which they were entitled."
In meeting the argument that trade
relations with Germany await ratifica
tion ,the report cites export figures to
show that this trade' has been going
on since the armistice.
The claim that adoption of amend
ments would involve resummoning of
the peace conference, the report says is
"i undless." '-
Arguments similar to those used in
senate debates are cited in support of
the committee amendments to give th'g
' country ahd Orea' Britain an equal num
ber of votes in the league, to transfer
