Their Motive Is Solely In
tended to Save Timei
Wilson'S Policy in Harmony

Washington, Jan. 26.-DemocratiC
leaders in the senate made it clear
today that they would not oppose
Senator Borah's resolution to re-af-
firm the Monroe doctrine and the
principles of Washington and Jeffer-
son, advising against embarrassing
foreign alliances. but that before vot-
ing for it they would explain their be-
lief that there is nothing in 1t incon-
sistent with the world peace propos-
ais enunciated last Monday in Presi-
dent Wilson's address.
No action was taken on the Borah
resolution today nor upon Senator
Cummins' proposal to set aside next
week for discussion of the presidents
suggestions In informal conference
it practically was agreed that nothing
would be done until the return next
week of Senator Stone, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, who
has been called away from Washing
ton on business
Should BE Discussed Later.
Administration senators hold that
both resolutions should be referred to
the foreign relations committee for
future action, perhaps at an extra
session of the new senate, immediate
ly after March 4, IN view of the con-
gested condition of legislation. But
il there is a disposition next week to
press the Borah resolution and a mo-
ton to refer IT should not prevail, the
democratic leaders will join In pass
ing it after undertaking to show to
the couUtry mat ga g Emltion of the
old American principles Is not at all
counter to President Wilson's ideas.
Today Senator Borah asked demo-
cratic leaders to let his resolution 20
to vote without debate, but they
would not agree because of tho de-
sire to explain their votes.
When debate does come, Senator
Borah says he will seek to prove that
adoption of his resolution would place
the senate in a position inconsistent
with the presidents ideas.
