CASE LIKELY TO COOVER
Decision In la Toilette Custer
Proceedings Unlikely Soon.
To Be Taken Up at Once by Senate
Committee But Final Outcome
Is Uncertain.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
will hold an executive session at once
to take up various petitions and de-
mands on the senate for the expulsion
of Senator r. M. La Toilette, which
are being received in ever-increasing
numbers from all over the country by
Vice President Marshall and members
of the senate.

nounced by Chairman Atlee Pomerene,
who would give no statement as to
the manner in which the committee
will proceed, saying that was a mat
ter for the members to determine.
Several of the members of the com.
mittee are known to favor a resolution
of expulsion while two or three are
known to be against such a resolution
Recess Sessions Probable.
IL appears that no action will be
taken by the committee at this session
but it was considered possible that a
meeting would be called during the
recess of congress. 1t was reported
that Senator Kellogg, IL the committee
does not take action. will offer a reso,
luton of expulsion to the senate.
1t such resolution were offered II
would again go to the privileges and
elections committee. While leading
senators appear to believe nothing will
be done at this meeting, there is new,
ertheless a strong underourrent OF
opinion favoring immediate action
That those who favor Senator La Fol
lette's expulsion will be able to force
the issue in the few remaining days
Of the session Is doubtful

Congressional districts and to raise a
campaign fund of 100000. This plan
will be discarded II the coalition is
formed at the conference.

an ordered and stable government of
free men might have been avoided.
The Russian people have been pois-
oned by the very same ~falsehoods
that have kept the German people
in the dark, and the poison has been
administered by the very same
hands. The only possible antidote is
the truth. It cannot be uttered too
plainly or too often.
Duty to Dec'are Purpose
From every point OF view, there.
fore, it mas seemed to be my duty to
speak these declarations of purpose,
to add these specific interpretations
to what I took the liberty OF saying
to the Senate in January. Our en-
trance into the war has not altered
our attitude toward the settlement
that must come when it is over.
When | said in January that the ma
tions of the world were entitled not
only to free pathways upon the sea,
hut also to assured and unmolested
access TO those pathways. l was
thinking, and l am thinking now,
not of the smaller and weaker n a
tons alone which need our counter
ance and support, but also of the
great and powerful nations, and OF
cur present enemies as we'll as our
present asociates in the war. l was
thinking, and am thinking now, of
Austria herself, among the rest, as
well as Serbia and of Poland. JUS
tee and equality of rights can be
had only at a great price. We are
seeking permanent, not temporary,
foundations for the peace of the
world and must seek them canfidly
and fearlessly. AS always, the right
will prove TO be the e~xpedient.
What shall We do, then, TO push
this great war of freedom and jus.
tiee to its righteous conclusion? We
must clear away with a thorough
hand al impediments to success and
We must make every adjustment oil
law that will facilitate the full and
free use of our whole CAPACITY and
force as a fighting unit.
One very embarrassing obstacle
that stands in our way is that we
are at war with Germany, but not
with her allies. therefore very
earnestly recommend that the Con.

world will not permit the commission
OF similar wrongs as a means Of
PREPARATION and settlement. States
men must by this time have learned
that the opinion of the world is er

prehends the issues involved. No

nation will dare disregard it by at

ishness and compromise as were en-
tered into at the congress of Vienna.
The thought of the plain people
here and everywhere throughout the
world, the people who enjoy no PRIV,
ilege and have very simple and IN
sophisticated standards Of right and
wrong, is the air all governments
must henceforth breathe ii they
would live. It is in the full disclos-
ing light of that thought that all
policies must be conceived and ex-
ecuted in this midday hour Of the
worlds life. German rulers have
been able to upset the peace of the
world only because the German peo-
pie were not suffered under their
tutelage to share the c%omradeship Of
the other peoples of the world either
in thought or in purpose. They were
allowed to have no opinion of their
own which might be set up as a rule
CT conduct for those who exercised
authority over them. But the con-
eress that concludes this war Will
feel the full strength of the tides
that run now in the hearts and con
sciences Of free men everywhere. Its
conclusions Will run with those tides.
All those things have beel true
from the very beginning of this stu
pendous war: and I cannot help
thinking that if they had been made
plain at the very outset the sym.

Cor the very life and existence of
their empire, a war of desperate
~seIf-defense against deliberate ag-
gression. Nothing could be o
grossly or wantonly false and we
must seek by the utmost openness
and candor as to our real aims to
convince them of its falseness. We
are in fact fighting for their eman~
cipation from fear along with our,

the fact of unjust attack by neigh

pies Of the world could not trust, IL

not a mere partnership OF govern
ments. It might be impossible, also

40 aggression in that; and such a
situation, inevitably because Of dis
trust, would in the very nature Of
things sooner or later cure itself, By
processes which would assuredly SCI
