President Will Not Call Extra
Session of Congress Until
Peace Work Is Done.
TALKS WITH SENATORS
Wilson Confers With Martin of vir-
ginia and Simmons of North Caro-
lima and Urges Quick Action
on Pending Bills.

Washington, Feb. 27.-President
Wilson probably will address
final appeal to the American peo-
Pile for support of the League of
Nations just before he sails for
France next week.

have him make the speech in New
York city the night of March a
or 5.
Washington, Feb. 27.-An extra ses-
sion of congress will not be called by
President Wilson until after he re-
turns again from Europe.
Senator Martin of Virginia, Demo
cratic leader in the senate, made the
announcement after a conference with
the President at the White House.
While the President did not state
when he expected to reach home after
his second trip overseas, Senator Mar
tin gave it as his personal opinion
that it would not likely be earlier
than June /.
President Wilson was said to feel
1t his duty to remain in Europe until
the treaty of peace was concluded.
Confer Hour With Wilson.
The President said he would re.
turn to Paris Immediately after March
5, and that he would not call an ex,
traordinary session of congress until
he returns" Senator Martin declared
He did not state the date of his re-
turn, nor did he authorize me to quote
him in respect to that point, but my
personal opinion and Judgment is that
there is no reasonable expectation OF
his being back prior to June l."
Senator Martin was accompanied to
the White House by Senator Simmons
of North Caroline, chairman of the
finance committee. They conferred for
nearly an hour with the executive, dis
cussing in detail the congestion of leg
islation in congress.
Further than the formal statement
of the Democratic leader, both sena
tors declined to comment on their dis
cussions with the President, but it was
understood that the executive would
vigorously insist that all pending ap
preparation bills and other urgent leg
islation be enacted before congress ad
journs next Tuesday, to provide fol
operation of the government in the
event his work at Paris should hold
him after July /, when the new ap
preparations would be needed.
1t was reported that failure of any
OF the mass of urgent legislation
would be charged by the President ol
administration leaders to the Republi
cans. Mr.. Wilson was said to have
been advised that except for Republi
can opposition the present situation
was such that all appropriation ant
other bills could be passed. The
President was reported ready to ad
wise the country of the situation and
insist upon enactment of all urgent
measures.

Iowa Senator Asserts There Is
More Bad Than Good in
Proposed Covenant.
FLAYS TAFT AND WILSON
Declares Proposed Draft Would Form
"WorId Nation" With PoIygIot and
lncoherent Powers That Would
Submerge American Republic.

Washington, Feb 27.-While declar-
ing his full sympathy with the pur.
pose to form an international peace
tribunal, Senator A. b. Cummins of
Iowa (repD, declared, in an address in
the senate, that he was opposed to the
proposed constitution of the League of
Nations because he believed some of
its provisions would strike at Ameri-
can sovereignty.
Objects to World Nation.
Presenting the outline of agreements
he would favor, Senator Cummins said
the league draft as presented at Paris
would form a world nation" with
'polyglot and incoherent powers"
which would submerge the American
republic. In the course of his address
he urged speedy conclusion of a peace
treaty with Germany and immediate
inauguration of reconstruction work
to avert unrest
The Iowa senator expressed approx
al of many of the provisions of the ten
tative chapter of the world league.
Those he attacked deal with submis-
sion of national questions, disarma-
ment and provisions for mandatories
and for reciprocal territorial guaran-
ties.
Some Good, More Bad.
There is some good in it" (the pro-
posed constitution said Senator Cum
minis. There is more that is bad in it.
AS now proposed, would unhesitat-
ingly vote against it."
The Iowa senator said the proposed
constitution would 'neutralize all the
benefits of a peaceful settlement of
disputes between nations, affirmative
ly destroy the national structure and
commit the United States to a course
which must end in humiliation and
disaster" Some of the provisions, he
asserted, were in direct conflict with
the United States constitution, and un-
der the charter this nation would
cease ito be distinct"
Called Reactionary.
Analyzing the principal provisions
of the leagues constitution, Senator
Cummins said Article 10, providing
guarantees against aggression and for
territorial and political independence
of states, is "ehe most destructive, un-
just and reactionary proposal ever sub
mitted."
1t will be rejected with storm of
obloquy," he declared I'VE are SOL
emnly asked to guarantee that the
boundaries of nations, as they now
exist or when the peace conference
has redrawn the map of Europe, Asia,
Africa and Oceanica, shall remain
without change forever"
Taft, Wilson Condemned.
Referring to recent statements on
the league by former President w. HI.
Taft, the senator said Mr.. Taft had
been "conspicuously unfair and uncan-
did" Quoting President Wilson's plea
In a Paris address for justice to peo-
pies, Who go to bed tired and wake
up without the stimulation of lively
hope" Senator Cummins said, in con.
clusion:
They understand their wrongs and
they are moving to correct them.
They need no such League of Nations
to assert their rights. We ought now
to be bending all our energies upon
the vital subject of reconstruction, and
this should be our immediate contri-
Dut,on to the welfare of humanity"
