ASKED TO DEBATE PEACE
PLEA; WILSON MOTIVE DEFINED

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Cum
minis Iowa, offered resolution today ask
ing that the Presidents address to the SEN
ate yesterday be brought up for discussion
by members of the Senate Monday.
Senator Cummins said it would be i'm
possible for the Senate to take any official
action on the questions involved in the
Presidents message until the President has
submitted to the Senate plans for entering
into the worlds peace tribunal
The resolution asks that the message be
brought up Monday and that every mem-
her Of the Senate he given an opportunity
TO express his views, with an hour limita-
tlon on speeches,
Senator Stone suggested that the Tesolu-
tion be referred TO the Committee on
Foreign Affairs but later withdrew his
suggestion when it was decided to delay
further discussion Of the resolution until
tomorrow.
Immediately after Cummins offered his
resolution. Senator Jones, Washington, Re
publican, asked that sections of the Demo-
cratic platform Of 19Of and 1912, relating
10 executive usurpation' and rights OF
the States" be read
That section Of the platform relating TO
executive usurpatiOn follows,
We favor the nomination and election
of a President imbued with the prin-
ciples of the Constitution who viii set
his face sternly against executive
usurpation OF legislative and judicial
functions. whether that usurpation be
yeied under the guise Of legislative
construction Of existing laws or
whether il taEe refuge in the tyrants
plea of necessity or superior wisdom
That section referring TO the rights Of
the states reads:
We believe In the preservation and
maintenance In their fun strength and
integrity Of the three coordinate
branches OF the Federal Government
the executive, the legislative and the
judiclal-each keeping within its own
bounds and not encroaching upon Just
powers OF either Of the others.
Following tthe reading by the clerk OF
the platform sections. the Senate without
further discussion OF the Presidents mes
sage resumed the regular business.
Some Of the force OF the Presidents ut
terance may be lost by refusal Of the Sen
ate 10 indorse his views laid before them

cratic Senators are opposed 70 the idea ol

Things have changed materially in Eng
land in the last six weeks. according to
Dr. Isaac Sharpless president of HaVerford
College, who has just returned from a SIN
week trip to England, and who seems TO
think peace is nearer than ever.
he says the antagonism OF the English
press and publ toward the Wilson peace
note has vanished In its place is. he says,
a better feeling toward the United states
and movement for peace stronger than
there has been since the war began
EACH MISREPREsENTED
when the now famous President Wilson
peace note was first sent to England
said Doctor Sharpless at his Office in liaN-
erfOrd College today, lit seemed to me that
the British press willfully msrepresente ID
the facts-thc contents of the note. But
soon after the Allies sent their answer to
the United States, it seemed to ,pe, there
was a gradual change until now think that
the press and the public are more friendly
toward the United States and its talk of
peace than they have been since the war
began"
Doctor Sharpless has been in England
in search of professors for two new depart
ments Of philosophy and history, which are
to be added to the Haverford faculty in
the near future.
I'VE will need three new professors for
these" said Doctor Sharpess. "and@ was
in England at old oxford and Cambridge
looking over material"
There are no students at oxford or CAM
bridge now except foreigners and crippes.
according to Doctor Sharpless.
1T is sad to go through those halls where
there were 1000 students before the war
and realize how many of them will never
return" said Doctor Sharpless today. And
there are no professors under forty-one
there either. They are either at the front
or performing war duty somewhere, The
college dormitories are used for quarters
for young men who are being trained to be
sent to the trenches. They are drilled and
trained on the campus
ENGLAND LIBERAL
The mIch-praised aid of the United
States sent to Belgium is exaggerated. ac-
cordng to Doctor Sharpess, who says that
England has given four times as much as
the United States Voluntarily
II refer simply to the money given by
individuals" said Doctor Sharpless. up
to date $255,0O0,O00 has been given toward
Belgium relief. The United States has
given $4,000 900 voluntarily. There was
one large contribution of $l,000,000 from
the Rockefeller Foundation, The rest has
come. most of it, from people in moderate
circumstances in small contributions. Eng
land and France have given voluntarily,
and then, too, the Government has voted
money for relief purposes in spite of the
many other drains on the national treas
ury. The amount given by the United
States has been exaggerated We are not
doing as much as we think we are
