in the cessions Of Danzig. Memel, and
in the various boundary commits
sions. reparation commissions, and
other agencies set up in the treaty
for disposition of questions in which

did the American delegates say or

As to Hun Propaganda
Senator New: Mr.. President, it
seems that there is more than a sus-

in the world. I think. that Germany
is promoting the dissemination OF boil
shevist propaganda in the countries
of the allies. including the United
States That being the case. am
prompted tc ask what provision IN
The treaty obligates Germany to pro-
hibit bolshevik propaganda from Ger
man sources in the United States and
allied countries?
The President: None.
Senator New: No provision? Was
any proposal considered by the peace
conference directed toward securing
the names of German propaganda
agents in the United States and the
allied countries. or to obtain the rec
ords of the disbursements made in
support of bolshevik or other propa-
ganda intended to weaken or disrupt
the United States?

fort to trace everything that we got

thing that we could; but no provisions
were feasible in the treaty itself
touching that.

and with section 10 in it, which brings
all of the great nations OF the league
to the protection Of France il war
many, what necessity is there for any
other special treaty with France?
The President: To meet the POSSIBLE
ity of delay in action on the part of
the council of the league.
Senator McCumber: But the agree
ment of section 10 comes into effect.
does it not. the moment we adopt the
treaty?
The President: Yes. but the council
has to act and formulate its advice,
and then the several governments
have to act and form their judgment
upon that advice.
Senator Mccumber: Do you think
under the present situation that that
could be done as quickly as Germany
could get ready for second war on
France?
Would Act Quickly When Ready.
The President: Oh, as quickly as
she could get ready. yes, but not as
quickly as she could act after she
got ready.
Senator Brandegee: Mr.. President,
the situation is this: If Germany has
surrendered its navy, demobilized its
army, and been shorn of large por-
tions of it's territory; If we have no
demand for reparation or indemnity
against her; If. as you stated in your
addresses to Congress. the war Is
over: If there is no fighting going on;
If Germany has signed the peace trea-
ty and you have signed the peace
treaty: If. in fact, there Is a condition
Of peace. and only the resolution of
Congress that a state of war existed
a year ago-if that is all so, is there
no way by which the condition of
peace which actually exists can be
made legally effective except by the
adoption Of the proposed treaty?
The President: Senator. l would say
that there is no way which we ought
to be willing to adopt which separates
