Answer to BOrah.
Responding to suggestion by Sen
ator Borah that the President had
said the world could not be safe for
democracy so long as the German au-
tocracy remains in power, Senator
Lewis said that he did not believe the
president meant any interference with
the internal rule in Germany, and that
if after peace had been concluded the
German dynasty should fall, America
could be said to have contributed to
that result.
One suggestion made by Senator
Lewis aroused opposition which was
voiced by Senator King, of Utah, and
that was that in order to further the
restoration of Belgium all of the
countries at war should make contri-
buttons to fund for this purpose.
Senator King said this suggestion was
abhorrent to him, and that there
should be no talk of peace until Ger
