If Congress is Controlled by

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Tuesday's
congressional election, on the race OF
early returns, bids fair to inject
new and interesting element into
the American-allied peace program.
Republicans have been outspokenly
against several of President Wilson's
fourteen peace terms. These peace
terms, with reservations. have now
been adopted by the allies as the
basis of peace. Any peace treaty
must be ratified by two-thirds OF the
senate, so if republicans control
they could force amendment of any
peace program.
Republican victory, in the face OF
President Wilson's direct appeal to
the people for vote Of confidence
is construed by republican leaders as
endorsement of their views on the
lIurasident's formula.
