the fatal propaganda is to have jobs

provides for"
Would Be Good substitute"
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, said that IA triple entente
OF Great Britain. France and the
United States, it occurs to me, would
be a splendid substitute for the futile
league OF nations But as separate
alliance, Moses indicated he would be
opposed to it. He differed with
Hitchcock 1.-The point that the league
covenant does not now protect league
members against aggression. That, he
pointed out, is the purpose of Article
10, which binds all league members to
preserve the territorial integrity of all
other members against external ag-
gressiop.
Senator johnson, California, said:
This very alliance proposal was spe-
officially and absolutely denied by the
president recently and L cannot be-
Iieve his denial was made in the very
face of the facts
Senator Curtis, Kansas, predicted
chances of ratifying such an agree
ment are slim.
BOrah Remains Silent.
The attitude of senators here on the
treaty as a whole was shown by Sena-
tor BOrah, who said he would make
no comment until he had chance to
study the text of the treaty itself.
Borah reiterated his intention to try
to get congress to authorize a national
referendum on the league of nations.
There was a general disposition to
consider the summary of the treaty as
a mere eXplanation-not an exact
miniature of the treaty itself.
Senator Kenyon believes Germany
has been reduced to a second class
power by the treaty
