Washington, Feb. o4.-The first ad-
dress in the senate in defense Of the
proposed constitution Of the league Of
nations was delivered, today, by Sen
ator Lewis. of Illinois, democratic whip.
who took issue with the recent criticisms
made by Senators Borah. of Idaho, re-
publican, and Reed, of Missouri, demo-
crat.
Speaking for nearly two hours, SEN
ator Lewis denied contentious of op-
ponents of the league that it would
abroga:e the Monroe doctrine, that it
was 8 departure from the principles of
Washington and Jefferson, that it would
dictate world armament, and that Amer
ica would be outvoted by the United
Kingdom. An immense overflow audience
listened and when the Illinois senator
concluded, the applause was SO insistent
that Vice President Marshall issued \
sharp warning to spectators in the
galleries. declaring they were "actin:
Ike bolsheviki' in violating rules against
applause and that he would clear the
galleries at the next demonstration.
Many Others Want to Talk.
Senator Lewis address is to be fol-
lowed by many other discussions of the
league Senator Owen. of Oklahoma.

until congress adjourns one week from

troduced a resolution, proposing a ma
tional referendum on the league. to be
called by the secretary of state within
thirty hours after its formal submis-
sion TO the senate.
The proposal for an expression Of
opinion on the league was re-
ferred to by Senator Lewis in concluding
lis remarks.
Will Be Before People.
"It will be before the American
people, the Illinois senator said. The
people will pass on this document in
the form of a treaty thru their senator's
as their representatives But it also viii
have the added advantage in that its
champion will go to his
with the truth. And they
will approve of his undertaking. as they
have everything with which he has gone
to them. Yes. the people will decide"
Senator Reed spoke briefly when
Senator Lewis concluded. He said that
if the Illinois memoer's argument was
correct. the league would not have
power to limit American armament, and
added:
IF that is the case. the chief argu-
nent for the league is withdrawn and
the chief reason for its existence does
not appear to exist"
Cites Lodge Against Himself.
Senator Lewis digressed greatly from
his prepared address. He analyzed in
detail the arguments of Senators Borah
and Reed and also declared that in May,
1916, Republican Leader Lodge had spok-
en- in support Of the league plan.

league would contravene the Monroe doc
