ed a resolution reaffirnling as a ma

There was no direct reference
in Senator Borah's resolution to the
policy advocated by President Viii
son in his unprecedented speech
that the doctrines laid down by the
first President should be discarded.
The adoption of the Borah reso-
luton would bind the senate to fol-
low the Washingtonian policy Of
"no eptangling alliances" and frus-.
trate any attempt of President Viii
son to enter negotiations in league
to enforce peace. The resolution
seeks to commit the senate, with its
power of ratification of treaties, to
a policy in which
I'm all matters touching on the
intent and affairs of foreign na-
tions, it shall conform its acts to
those time honored principles laid
down by the first President"
The resolution was referred to
the proper committee and until il
is referred back there will be no dis
cussion on the floor Of the senate
on this subject.
Elihu Root, former secretary of

that there is no way the United

by preparation for war"
Mr.. Root stated that he consid-
cred the Presidents address as well
