longer vacation.
More than the usual amount OF
routine business was transacted on
Friday. but the many committee re-

somewhat bulky size.
The committee on judiciary was
again the only one to have hearing
and the business assigned for that

Paris. Feb. 2S-(By the Associated
Press)-The suggestion that the En-
tente governments send a commits
sion to Russia for thorough investi-
cation Of all governments there was
made today by Nicholas Tschaikov-
sky, president Of the government of
Northern Russia. His suggestion was
made as a outer-proposition to the
Allies invitation to the Russian gov
ehnments TO confer at the Princes
Islands for the purpose of advising
the peace conference about the Rus
sian situation. President Tschai-
kovsky is the only one Of the Rus
sian leaders now in Paris willing to
participate in the peace proposals at
Princes Islands.
The Entente commission. is is sug-

purpose Of learning the attitude of
the majority Of the town and village
people toward the Bolsheviki as to
whether the soviets have success
fully reformed. The right to hold
private permission to visit all parts
Of Russia should be guaranteed.
President Tschaikovsky suggested
also that all executions cease or else
the government would be unable to
get witnesses to testify. He urged
investigation of what had become of

countries. deplored proposals to give
powers to the league OF nations
which he said would cause the Mon
roe Doctrine to disappear" would
abridge American sovereignty and in
the end promote misunderstanding
and war instead of the peace which
the world so much desired.
The Massachusetts senator as
sailed especially the provisions for
territorial guarantees. manufactures
and disarmament. Besides demanding
revision of these clauses the senator
declared that domestic questions,
such as immigration. should be de-
initely placed beyond the authority
of the league. He said the entire doc
ument was loosely drawn. admitting
Of wide Interpretation, and added that
it should be re-drafted to make dis
pute Of construction impossible.
Senator Lodge told the Senate that
for Lincoln's government of the peo-,
pie. by the people and for the people,
the United States was now asked to-
substitute on many vital points gov,

line at which stands the sinister fig
ure Of Trotzky, the champion of in,
ternationalism. We must build no.
bridges across the chasm which now
separates American freedom and or
der from Russian anarchy and de- (,
struction."
Like Senator Lodge, Senators Len
root and Frelinghuysen warmed
against acceptance of the League of
| Nations constitution without careful
elaboration and without fundamental
revision.
While favoring a league that would
not conflict with American princi-
Piles and sovereignty. Senator Len
root urged that as the project is an
experiment its life be limited to 10
years. with provision for renewal if
it proves successful.
Senator Frelinghuysen disputed
any assumption that President Will
son represented any sentiment in the
participation of America in the
league and demanded that the coun-
try be fully informed on all phases
of the question before the Senate is
asked to consider it as part of tho
peace treaty.
Debate on the league will continues
tomorrow with addresses by Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania. former secre-
tary of state. and Senator Hardwick
of Georgia, Democrat.

New Measures

The House had all the new meas
ures introduced on Friday and they
were few in number:
A bill designed to give the smaller
and poorer towns additional State
aid in highway work was presented in
the House Friday by Representative
Granville of Kezar Falls. This act, if
passed, would not only take care of
the special road resolves which have
caused so much friction the present
session, but would give aid to many
towns which would rarely. If ever,
get aid through such a resolve.
A feature Of this bill is that 1t
provides that to any municipality
which, for the past five years. has
averaged to make an appropriation
of four mills for road work shall re-
