BY ROBERT ]. BENDER.

Washington, March 15-With Off
cial announcement today, both in New
York and Paris, that the league of ma
tionS covenant is to be made part
of the peace treaty, the big fight be-
tween President Wilson and Repub-
lican senate on the league issue was
assured.
Secretary Tumulty, in New York,
issued a statement that the peace pact
would embody the league. Stimuli
taneously, it was announced in Paris
that no change in the original plan to
have the league as an integral part Of
the treaty Is contemplated.
With this point disposed Of, the state
department today undertook to clear
up confusion arising over reports that
preliminary peace treaty will soon
be completed with Germany, in which
the league covenant will not appear.
MERELY EXTENSION.
The preliminary treaty, it was ex-
planned, is expected to be merely an
extension of the armistice. The actual
peace treaty will be another draft.
The preliminary treaty will be
signed soon, the state department re-
ports indicate The final draft will be
cials believe, and will embody the
preliminary treaty besides the final
determination of all the great inter-
national questions. All efforts Of the
president will be made to have the
covenant in this final draft.
The preliminary treaty, even if the
senate were in session, probably would
not be submitted for ratification as all
of it will be embodied in the final
draft, it was stated. Besides extend
ing the armistice terms the prelimi-
nary pact is expected to open up some
of the business channels closed by the
waS. 1t probably will contain mea-
sures for supplying the food Germany
needs with the proper military re-
strictions and do much to reopen
European industry.
FOR FINAL TREATY.
Questions of boundaries, reparation
and indemnity, however, officials here
believe, will be left to the final trea-

werlus difficulties will not end with

BEST ANTiDoTE.
"The principle opposed to Bolshev-
ism and denounced by the Bolsheviki
Is that of cooperation" said Harper.
"Co-operation as the basis of the
harvester plan Is perhaps the best
antidote to incipient Bolshevism."
THE application of the Bolshevist
program in Russia meant workman
control. There was no question of
cooperation between workmen and
management because the Bolsheviki
do not recognize such a scheme.
"The harvester plan represents the
middle course--not the extreme of
subjugation of employer or of en-
ploye. but the democratic co-opera-
ton between owner manager and
workers.
