tions, and as far as we are concerned

hssty debates in tn. Senate. TO give our
Endorsement Of plan which involves
the abandonment of the policy that the
country has pursued ever SINCE the
formation Of our Constitutions policy
IN which not only the Monroe Doctrine

Of great domestic Importance.
"My objection to this resolution -
that there is no occasion for It. The
President is intrusted with the care OF
our foreign relations. Negotiations are
in his hands. He is conducting them.
when he needs our cooperation and
assistance he should lay before US all
the facts which have guided him. But

simple Endorsement Of the idea of de-
string peace or of everything in the
note sent BY the President 20 tho

Mr. Lewis conveyed the idea that he

being asked TO do that. Senator Nor
ris then suggested that, OF course, there
would be no objection 70 amending the
resolution so as to make IL unmistak-
ably clear that il did not pertain at all
to the contents of the note, but vas
merely an expression Of approval o.
the idea that peace was desirable.
"As / am not the author Of the res

amendments would be satisfactory

comes for amendments TO the resolu-
ton, its author, the Senator from Ne
braska, can speak as to that
Denies Aid to Germany
Senator Lewis answered in detail the
CRITICISMS OF senator LOdgc. Replying
to the assertion that the note had
been taken as a favorable move for
Germany, he said it was but natural
that one side or the other TO such
controversy should so interpret move
for peace, and declared that after all
this was no reason to defeat so great
an end.
He strongly dissented from the view
expressed-by Mr. Lodge that the sdop-
tion of the resolution would mean the
dragging Of the United States into
European politics, with danger to the
Monroe Doctrine and important do
nestle policies, and accused the Massa-
chusetts Senator of incorrectly recitng
history to put Democratic President
in bad light.
"This note" said Senator Lewis, con
its very face merely tenders the good
Offices of the President. When good
Offices are rendered il is not customary,
though permissible, to first sound out
the parties"
