Not Necessary to Peace
"The essentials Of the treaty itself

In his desperate attempt to tie the
league and treaty together, Mr.. Wilson
referred some Of the details of the
treaty to the leagues council for de-
termination. But it would be simple
matter to provide another instrumental
ity for such determination; in fact, it is
probable that the changes that the
leagues defeat would necessitate in
the treaty are now reposing in the files
Of the peace conference, ready for in
sertion the moment the Senate has de-
creed the death Of the covenant. Each
Allied nation, including the United
States, could make those alterations at
once and present practically Identical
treaties to Germany for signature,
each supported in its demands by all
the others. The process is a perfectly
simple one, and the reconvening Of the

Former President William H. Taft,
who returned yesterday, with Rabbi

the ratification of the league of ma

Taft said:
Everywhere we have found a deep
determination on the part of Amer

PARIS, June 8.-Frank P Walsh
and Edward F. Dunno, delegates from
the Irish societies in America to the
peace conference, declared to news
paper correspondents Friday before
their conference with Secretary Ian
sing at the Hotel Crillon that If the
American delegation refused to aid in
having the claims Of the Irish republic
placed before the conference they
would seek such aid from "liberty-
loving France, who has always been the
friend Of Ireland"
If France failed them they proposed
to appeal to the delegations Of Italy
and "other liberty-loving nations" in
Guiding the British colonies, especially
Canada, which, Mr.. Walsh said, was
showing an inclination to break away
from Great Britain.
Ex-Governor Dunno said the British
military authorities made belated eff
forts to better conditions in the Jail
dungeons" before the arrival in Ire
land Of the American delegates, but
the delegates had not been fooled
thereby.
Anyway" Mr.. Walsh put in, "the
greatest injustice that can be done an
Irishman is the direction Of his affairs
by monocled Englishmen."
Commenting on Mr.. Walsh's pro-
gramme, one of the American peace
delegates gave what probably is the line

enough trouble without injecting the
Irish controversy into the councils.
However, whatever the course Presi-

of the Irish cause, Messrs. Walsh and
Dunno are on the rampage. They de-
clare they have just begun to fight.

endeavoring to excite the strikers-
although hitherto unsuccessfully-to
action Of a purely political nature;
BRAND, supported by "Le Matin" in
his campaign to obtain M. Clemenceau's
place, is losing no opportunity to throw
the odium for the delayed and in
'effectual peace" on the "Qld Tiger"
These oppositions are working sepa-
rately, but are mutually complementary,
and their existence explains the pain
full lack Of definite policy of which
not only they, but a growing number
Of other Frenchmen complain.
1t is contended that the Clemenceau
government only vacillates, lacking a
financial and economic policy, lacking
also a Russian policy, maintaining a
show Of public confidence by the strict
est application of the censorship and
not proceeding with rehabilitation.
(The class Of 1911 has been under arms
for more than seven years.) Generally,
as one critic remarked, the government
is "twiddling it's thumbs futilely behind
closed DOORS"
1t is known that Premier Clemenceau
intends to resign as soon as peace is
made, and it is the general opinion
that he intends to ignore criticism and
continue his present course until the
signing of the treaty, which will be
the eliminating point of his long
political career. This explains the gov
ernment's present hesitation to agree
to a fixed indemnity, the knowledge
Of which might result in a popular
outcry which, echoed in the Chamber
of Deputies, might snatch the honor of
having made peace from Clemenceau's
hands at the eleventh hour.

COPENHAGEN, June 8. - Great
crowds gathered in the streets of
Vienna yesterday and outside the quar-
ters Of the Entente mission. Shouts of
protest were raised after big demon
stration at which the peace terms were
denounced, according to dispatch re-
ceived here. The union with Germany
was demanded and resolution passed
calling on the Austrian delegates to
refuse to sign the peace treaty in it's
present form. 80
VIENNA, June (By The Associated

President Seitz declared in his address

tanned large portion Of the members
of the assembly, including two women.
The session was orderly.
Foreign Minister Bauer made a re-
port on his conference at Feldkirch
with DR.. Renner, the head of the
Austrian delegation. Dr. Bauer, who is

country, and who is generally referred
to as a Bolshevik, was listened to
quietly while he read six pages of
manuscript.
After declaring that the treaty was
peace of hate, the Foreign Minister re-
leased his personal vials of wrath
against the Czechs, who, he said, had
taken all of Austria's sugar and other
industries. The loss of German Bo-
hemia to Austria, he added, meant not
merely the subjection of 100000 Ger
mans to foreign rule, but the loss of
the most valuable parts of German
Austria, industrially and culturally.
DR.. Bauer said the people of the
Tyrol, who love freedom above life,
would never submit to the peace terms.
and that they, as did the Germans of
Bohemia, had the sympathy Of all Ger
mans. He added that several months
ago the Austrian government had sub
mitted to the Italian government the
draft of a treaty under which German
South Tyrol would remain with Aus
tria constitutionally and economically,
but as neutral military zoae.

PARIS, June 8.-According to high
American authority French hesitation
is now the chief factor in the
inability of the Council of Four
to decide on fixed sum for
the German indemnity, though Presi-
dent Wilson and Lloyd George con-
tinue firmly to strive therefor with
every prospect of ultimate success.
Premier Ciemenceau admits that i'm
mediate benefit would accrue to France
by enabling her to secure much-needed
credits on the basis of her share of
q definite indemnity to come, yet the
indications are clear that his govern
ment fears the effect on public opin~
ion of the announcement of any sum,
however big. because it necessarily
will be smaller than the expectations
the French people have been encour-
aged to hold.
A fact much exploited by the grow
ing opposition to Premier Clemenceau's
administration is the recent announce
ment of Finance Minister Klotz that
5,00W00,000 francs ($1,O00,000, 0,O00) : of
extra taxes will be necessary this year.
Indeed, it 8 being made political, cry.
Premier Clemenceau's enemies point
out that when France was vanquished
in 1871 she was forced to pay Germany
5,000,000,000 francs indemnity, while
to-day, though France is victorious,
the best M. Clemenceau can do IL
to tske the same sum from French
pockets.

Rejection OF League
Urged to Speed Peace
Senator Bourne Fears Delay
Because Covenant Changes
Would Force NeaU Treaty
NetD York Tribune
Washington Bureau

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 8.-Caring lit
tie for the league of nations, the AL
lied powers will be quick to repudiate
it if the covenant is rejected by the
Senate, former Senator Jonathan
Bourne, jr, Republican, asserted to-
day. He believed the complete rejec-
tion of the league by the Senate was
the quickest way to peace.
"Friends of the league say the de-
feat of the covenant or any amendment
to it, or other parts of the treaty, would
make necessary a new treaty, requiring
the signatures of all the nations that
subscribed to the original document" :"
Mr.. Bourne said. "They claim a dead
lock would prevail meanwhile and peace
would be impossible until the assent of
the thirty-two states to the new treaty
could be obtained.
"Of course, SO far as the treaty itself
is. concerned, the Allied nations are
free to make such terms of peace with
Germany as each may see fit, unless
they are bound by undertakings among
themselves not to conclude a separate
peace. The United States, for instance,
can conclude peace with Germany on
any basis she may adopt, quite regard
less of the actions of the Allies or any
one of them. The treaty is only be-
tween ourselves and the Germans.
Covenant Is Complication
"The inclusion of the league cove
nant in the treaty presents compli-
cation that involves all of the Allied
belligerents. If that covenant is
amended it is probably true, as Mr..
Hitchcock asserts, that before it would
have any binding force the changes
would have to receive the Endorsement
of the other parties to the undertak-
ing. Amendment Of the covenant,
therefore, might be attended with pro-
longed delays in the final consumma-
ton of peace. But no such difficult
ties are in the way of the defeat of
the undertaking.
"The league of nations is the pet
personal hobby Of Mr.. Wilson, and is
so regarded by the delegates of the
other powers in Paris. They care
little for it, and will be quick to re-
pudiate it once it has been rejected by
the United States Senate. 1t is said
by those in touch with the situation
in Paris that the defeat of the league
by the Senate is anticipated by the
other nations, and that their course of
action in that event is already mapped
out. With the peace treaty relieved
