to accept his terms for lasting and just peace. If they answer in the affirmative and proceed immediate ly to carry out all of these condi- ticns, the war will be won as fully and completely as it is possible to win it. If the answer is in the nega- tive or equivocal, then the reply of the President will undoubtedly be only repetition or reference to the demands he has heretofore made"
 Senator Pittman said this was not the first time that Senator Lodge had voiced his distapproval of the principles and policies and methods pronounced by the President.
 "In the Presidents address to Con- gress on January 8 he laid down de- finitely and specifically a program for world peace, embracing IA dis tinct points," he continued. "This program was agreed to and adopted by all of our allies and received hear ty approval of all of the neutral countries of the world. Yet it did not satisfy the senator from Mas sachusetts. In the United States Senate on August 23, he (Senator Lodge), laid down his own program for world victory. The spirit that the two programs breathe is as different as might is from justice. The program of the senator from Massachusetts means war for vic tory, revenge and advantage, while the program of the President means war for victory, justice and everlast- ing peace.
 Must Have United Government.
 This is but one of hundred il- Instructions that might be made to prove the necessity of a united gov- ernment in time of war. Our people do not distrust Woodrow Wilson. He is loved, trusted and respected not only by all of the people of the United States, but by the suffering peoples of the governments of our allies. He is recognized throughout the world today as the predominant statesman of the age. I recognize and admire the statesmanship, learn iIg and loyalty of the distinguished senator from Massachusetts, but he has no right to be offended if l say to him that in the eyes of the world he does not compare with Woodrow WilsonA He will have his chance for test in the coming elections, because the contest is inevitably be- tween the policies of Woodrow Will son and the policies of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge"
 Communications urging the only terms to be given Germany should be Unconditional surrender" were plced in the Record by Senator's Jo,o. Oc ouI uov1ivO of Ohio. republicans.
 Lodge Makes His Reply.
 Replying to Senator Pittman, Sena- tor Lodge said his regret over the Presidents note was due to the fact that the President had not gone fur ther. Senator Lodge read from the Presidents speech delivered Septem- Der 27 in which the President said there can be no peace by compromise and that Germany's rulers have shown they are without honor.
 With that statement, Senator Lodge said he was still with the President, but in veiw of the Presi dents speech delivered on September 27, he could not approve the mote of inquiry
 Astonished at The Tone.
 Relieving, as I did, that the re- ply to the chancellor would be in the same high tone," he added. T was astonished when l read not reply, but three queries. One great source of regret to me was that the President should ask questions of the German chancellor after that de- scription of Germany"
 Senator Lodge said he could not corrective that the chancellor repre- scented anything but the executive constitutional authority under which he was appointed, because he cannot represent anything else.
 Declares His Right.
 Senator Lodge declared the right of senator to disciuss anything looking like negotiations for peace was unquestionable.
 Peace negotiations however pro- posed," he said, 'are entirely diff ferent from the constitutional point of view from the conduct of war. The President in conduct of war is the commander in chief and 1t is my duty to support him. whether I agree entirely with him or not. In the question of making peace, the Presi- dent is not the commander m cnle1. The power to negotiate is wholly his but it cannot be final without the advice and consent of the Senate. Tho responsibility of the senate in dealing with any question of peace is as great as that of the President"
 Discussing the Presidents inquiry as to the German chancellor's atti- tude toward the fourteen articles, which Senator Lodge described as broad principles and not terms" the senator continued:
 "The details are the vital points. The President asked questions that invited discussion. The fact is that the Presidents questions have given rise to questions of interpretation from one end of the country to the nther Mas a crime for me to wish
