WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Warning
President Wilson that snares may be set for
him in Europe, Senator Lewis, democratic
whip and close adviser of the president, told
the senate today that the proposed league
of nations might become a danger to the
world peace rather than a guarantee of it.
He said that "in the past the great wars have been
conducted between those who previously allies
and grew from the exclusion of the compacts of peace
Il will not be blind to this prospect even as between
ourselves and those call allies he said
Detailing his fears Lewis declared if the United States
favored in the decision of dispute other countries
demanding reciprocity. might exact much ito weaken
the link with the future to be charged with
bad faith"
demand abolition of policy of exclusion of Asacs and
they in turn might peruas Japan to demand retrac
ton of the Monroe doctrine.
Lewis said he spoke wholly his responsibility.
