Bearing Upon Situation
Declares Senator.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Senator Lodge
today replied to President Wilson 5
charge at Portland, Or, that Lodge is
inconsistent in his opposition to the
league of nations.
The president quoted from speech
by Lodge at Union College in 1916 to
show that Lodge had then favored q

FThe mere fact that man changes
his mind has no bearing on the merits
of case,' said Lodge. eff we are
looking for inconsistencies they can be
found in the greatest men,
He then quoted from President vii
son s pre-war speeches in which Wilson
urged American neutrality to show that
the president himself had been neon
sistent with respect to participation il
the war.
ri do not criticize the president be

But he was inconsistent.
Lodge said that the speech to whicl
the president referred represented tht
views held in common with Thcodort
Roosevelt at that time, that there should
be some league Of nations backed by
force to preserve world peace.

was to resume the executives trail at
Sioux City, S. D., today.
A crowd of 5000 heard johnson. The
prolonged cheers which have greeted
him before were sileneed in tears last
night. The senator solemnly talked of
the mothers who have appealed TO him
to help bring soldiers back from 81
IBERIA.
johnson s theme was bolshevism,
which the president here urged should
be cured by the covenant.
Bolsheyism is bred in the hearts
of women whose sons went to fight
Germany and who have been shot down
in Siberia,' johnson said.
.sWhen men in power violate the
constitution they become breeders OF
bolshevism, he continued, asserting
that the purposes of the military ac

Senate Action Upon Peace
Treaty Delayed To AllolD
JohnsonTo Complete Tour
By Z. o. Martin

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Sept. 16.-Senate leaders
today decided that there would be no
real action this week on the peace trea-
ty, formally called up yesterday.
There will be- speeches, but actual
reading Of the treaty is to 60 over prob.
ably until late in the present week OF
even to next week, said Senator Curtis,
republican whip.
The reason is that Senator Lodge and
others, opposing the pact in its present
form want to leave Senator Hiram John
son free to complete his stumping tour
against the league.
Senator Borah, who also has been
stumping, was called back to Washing
ton today by Senator Lodge.
Much pickering is likely to sprxns
from this situation, which is not to the
liking Of Senator Hitchcock and otnel
administration leaders. Hitchcock is de
termiasd, he said, today, to make treaty
opponents bear full responsibility fol
any undue delay. He intends to prod
and harrass them all he can, and II pos
sible force them to speed up.
The treaty could be ratified within
two weeks, Hitchcock said today. De
