ATTACK WILSON s
COLONY POLICIES
Senator Lewis Doesn't Credit
Reports That German Afri;-
can Territory Is to Be Inter-
nationaIized.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Nigorous OPP
position was voiced in the senate to-
day by republican leaders to the plan
for dealing with captured German
colonies and occupied territories in
Asiatic Turkey, which press dis
patches from France yesterday said
had been presented to the peace con-
ference by President Wilson.
Democratic Spokesman said they
could not believe the reports that the
president had proposed permanent in
standardization of the territories
and urged support of the American
peace delegates. Some republican SEN
ators pointed out that the official COM
munique issued by the conference
said plan for distribution had been
professionally agreed upon.
The debate continued for two hours
and during its course republican lead
ers renewed their criticism of the plan
for league of nations, the delay in
concluding peace with Germany, "se-
cret diplomacy" and other questions
connected with the peace conference.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the
republican leader, declared that state
ments in dispatches from special
newspaper correspondents at Paris
that the United States would be re-
CURED TO help maintain order in the
captured territories was ansolutely UNI
peieNapie'
Prcpostcrous Undertaking.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania as
serted that the internationali2ation
pl n proposed "a stupendous and pre-
posterous undertaking" while Sena-
Tor Johnson OF Callorhia declared ne
would not vote for treaty recurring
american troops to be sent to Asia or
AFRICA senator Nardaman of Missls-
slppL democrat, suggested that the
senate would reject such treaty.
In repylng 10 the republican at
lacks, senator Lewis of limos, the
democratic whip, said he doubted au-
thentlcity or the Paris reports and de-
cared that disposition of the German
colonies as suggested would violate
the fundamental principle of self-de-
termination of peoples He said he
believed the actual agreement merely
was for temporary administration Of
the German colonies by the league Of
nations until their permanent status
could be fixed.
Senator Walsh of Montana. demo-
Graf, said he could not believe the
American commissioners would obIi-
gate the United States as suggested in
the press dispatches.
