DEFENSE LEAGUE
MAY GET A PROBE
BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, NOV. 30.-indications
about the Senate and House yesterday
pointed 20 a general demand for an
investigation of the activities of the
various organizations boosting the ma
tioral preparedness program of Pres
dent Wilson. Representative Kitchin
of North Carolina. the new Democrat
ic leader and opponent of the prepared
ness program. is not alone in his de-
sire for such an inquiry
Most members take the ground that
Tense legislation is not due to the ac-
tiHities of any organization, and GER
tainly not of any organization the mo-
tive of Which could be seriously ques-
toned They want the country to
thoroughly understand this, and "a
know that they stand ready to repudi-
ate any body which is shown to have
direct connection with persons heav-
lily interested in the manufacture Of
war munitions or armor plate.
On the other hand some members
feel it might be mistake to have a
general investigation Of organizations
which IRE boosting preparedness. They
take the ground that many people
now friendly to the cause might read
lily misunderstood any sensational dis
closures GeN eloped and thus discredit
the defense program. 1t may be said
that outspoken opponents of the Pres
