WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-President Wilson's fourteen principles and terms, the league of nations, interna tional disarmament, open diplomacy, and other subjects connected with the forthcoming peace conference were discussed in the senate today during five hours of debate, in->which many senators, both republicans and demo- crats, joined.
 During the discussion, Senator Bo- rah of Idaho, republican, introduced a resolution proposing publication ol the peace treaty immediately upon it's completion, and open discussion of it in the senate, while Senator Freling huysen of New Jersey, republican, of fered a resolution seeking interpreta- tion by the president of the fourteen points.
 Both resolutions will be sent to the foreign relations committee which, be- fore the senate discussion opened, considered for almost two hours be- hind closed doors the resolution Of Senator Cummins of Iowa, republican, proposing appointment of a senate committee to attend the peace confer ence to keep the senate informed of events there. Action on the Cummin. resolution was postponed until tomor- row, with administration leaders and some republicans reported opposing it's approval. The committee also decided to put over until next week the reso- lution of Senator Knox of Pennsylva- | mia, republican, calling for postpone ment of action by the peace confer ence on the questions of a league oi nations and freedom of the seas.

 In reply, Senator Walsh of Montana, l democrat, said delay in criticism of the fourteen points was ground for l general belief that the country ap- | proved them. Senators Poindexter O | Washington, Knox of Pennsylvania and Johnson of California, all repub- | licans, challenged that view They in- sisted that after enunciation, peace discussion generally had been frowned upon until recently, and consequently there had been no general discussion of them. Senator Johnson said tht president had gone to France, leaving the nation ignorant of the precise meaning of his principles.
 Senator Knox said congress ha, l taken a position on an agreement be- tween nations, when it attached rider ito the naval appropriation bill of Feb ruary, 1916, authorizing the presiden, to call an International conference not later than the conclusion of the Wal for discussion of military disarma- ment and general arbitration of inter national disputes.
