QUICK CONCLUSION PEACE TREATY HE TELLS PRESS CORRESPONDENTS
Firmly Convinced League of Nations Charter Does Not Conflict With the Ameri- can Constitution
sy As.oc'atsd prs.,

Washington, February 27. President Wilson desires con clusion of a peace treaty as speedily as consistent with the great questions involved, and except for adjustment of terri torial differences, he believes d great part of the work is ap- preaching final form.
 This was learned by newspaper
 correspondents with whom the
 President had free and frank dis
 cussion of his work at Paris and
 the legislative situation late today
 after he had spent two hours con-
 ferrinS with administration leaders at the capitol. It was the first
 time the correspondents I'm Wash
 fngton had been invited to see the
 President in several years.
 It was learned that the amendment to the proposed constitution of the league of nations which the President intends to suggest upon his return to Paris will deal with measures to be used by the league in enforcing terri torial decrees. .t6
 Regarding the Monroe doctrine, the President felt that the league constitu- tion could not contravene it when it provided for maintenance of the doc Urine by all the world.
 It was gathered that the President believed that with the exception of the clause relating to enforcing territorial decrees the only antiquities connected with the league constitution existed in the minds of persons discussing them
 It was learned that the President is firm in his determination not to call an extra. session of the new Congress un- fl hA returns from France and also that he does not intend to address Con gress before he sails on March 9.
 The President let it be known that he is firmly convinced that In no par .ticular does any provision Of the league charter conflict with the American constitution. He told his hearers that in the Paris conference he had closely and carefully kept in mind constitu- tional features and had had the adviee of expert American lawyers on all con- stitutional questions arising. Those appearing to conflict with the consti- tution were rejected or altered
 In regard to congressional legisia- ton the President made 1t known that he was interested in securing pas sage of several important legislative biiis but that most of his conferences at the capitol were to receive requests tor action from senators and represen- tatives.

EMBARGO LIFTING RIDER ID WHEAT
 BILL Is DEFEATED
Southern COngressmen Fail in Effort for Removal of Cotton Export
 Restrictions
sy Associated Press

Washington, February 25.-After
 President Wilson today refused re-
 quests of n congressional deIega-
 ton from southern cotton growing
 states to remove export embargo
 restrictions on cotton they endeay-
 ored in the Senate late tonight to
 add a rider to the $1.OOO,OOO.O0O
 wheat guarantee bill to repeal lasvs
 authorizing the embargo. The
 amendment, however, was rejected,
 36 to 23.
 The President took the position in which he was supported in Senate di- cussion tonight by Minority Leader Lodge and others, that change in the embargo situation would violate the armistice terms and that the status quo of the enemy countries must be main tained until the peace treaty is signed
 Senators from the southern states, however contended that the embargo seriously injures American trade in cot ton and that the British embargo on cotton would maintain the armistice conditions.
 The Senate adopted, however by viva voce vote an amendment present. ed by Senator Smith of South Carolina prohibiting the delivery on contracts of unmerchantable grades of cotton In explaining the amendment, Senator Smith said that owing to the practice of such grades being delivered on con tracts, cotton exchanges had become gambling places.
 LONG DEBATE ENSUES
 Introduction of the Kirby amend ment resulted in prolracted debate on the part of democratic senators from the cotton states. In urging adoption of the amendment Senator Gore de- clared he thought Congress should re- peal the law permitting restrictions against the exportation of cotton to permit international commerce.
 Senator Pollock of South Carolina declared the amendment was matter of common justice to southern farmers who desire an open market for their cotton The amendment was termed a half -baked'' proposition by Senator Jones of New Mexico, democrat, who urged careful consideration before such an amendment was adopted, adding the President has authority to remove the restrictions. Among the opponents to the amend ment was Senator Norris of Nebraska. repub lican, who declared it not only endangered the wheat guaranty bill but the President informed senators today he did not intend removing the em bargo.
 T don't know his reasons,v Senator Norris said but at least he Is con vinced that it should not be done. The amendment was also opposed by Minority Leader Lodge who said In the armistice the United States agreed to maintain a status quo, but if this amendment was enacted, it would mean violation of the armistice. He said he did not think it fitting preface for the league of nations to begin by breaking an agreement" adding he could not see how the President could sign a bill containing such q provision. 1 Exception to this view was taken by Senator Smith of Georgia, who said he did not believe it interfered with the status quo. asserting the President re- gently took barley off the embargo l list.

LONG IN SERVICE

LONG IN SERtISE
 For continuous service, MT. Gilett is the veteran of the House, as he is rounding out his twenty-fourth year of consecu- tive service in that body. Although he entered Congress when Representative Cannon of Illinois was veteran legisla- tor, MT. Gillett's record for unbroken service exceeds that of the former speaker, whose 40 years in the House have been interrupted by absence from two congresses.
 Despite his long service, MT. Gillett is not one of the most widely known mem bers of the House and his friends ascribe his rise to republican leadership to his close application to legislation rather than to any personal advertising. In this connection they pointed to the fact that all of the speeches he has delivered dur ing almost a quarter of a century of serv- ice would scarcely fill one small volume.
 Representative Gillett is from the Sec ond Massachusetts district. and his home is in Springfield. He was born in Vest field, Mass, in 1852. and was graduated from Amherst college and the Harvard law school.
 The nominee for speaker entered public life in 1879, two years after receiving his law degree, being appointed assistant at torney general. which position he held until 1882 when he returned to private law practice. His first election to office was in 1890, as a member of the Massa- chusetts house of representatives. He was reelected in 1891 and at the conclu- sion of his term was nominated to Con- gross and elected by a large vote. He has received 13 re-elections from his dis trict and in the last campaign had no democratic opposition
 ! Upon entering Congress Mir. Gillett hoped to be assigned to the foreign affairs committee, but went to that on civil serv- ice reform, later to military affairs and others. and finally appropriations. on which he is the ranking republican mem ber Government expenditures has been his special study.
 His ability as floor leader was dem or strated during the Illness last year Of Mir Mann, his rival for the speakership. With the country at war he publicly an nounced "a friendly and helpful disposi- tion'' toward the administration.
 Massachusetts has not furnished a sneaker of the House since before the civil war and New England but two since that time-James G. Blaine and Thomas B. Reed.

Pennsylvania Avenue Re- Echoes for First Time in Many Years to Tread of
 Victorious Soldiers of
 the United States
By Associated Presa

Washington, February 27. Pennsylvania avenue re-echoed today for the first time in many years to the tread of victorious American soldiers-the men who fought in Europe under the Stars and Stripes to help clear the way for the spread of democratic ideals.
 President Wilson, back only few days rom the peace conference in Paris, led the parade on foot and after marching through cheering thousands from the cap- itol to the White House. took his place in the reviewing stand with Mrs. Will son, surrounded by his cabinet, justices or the supreme court, the diplomatic corps and high officers of the Ameri- can and foreign military forces
 The parade was organized as a tri- pute to service men-soldiers, sailors and marines-from the District of Columbia, but it soon became apparent that this first review in Washington since vic tory was won had more than local sig nificance. Men from every state and every service took part, but especially the presence of hundreds of wounded, whc at Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel and the Argonne, helped write the stirring chapters of American participation in the war, made the parade a testimonial of the nations pride in all it's fighters, re- gardless of locality
 Three generations were represented in the pageant, the fighters of today, the veterans of yesterday and the high school and college cadets in training to take their places under the flag if need be.

 NATIONS LEAGUE
Hitchcock Makes Vigorous Reply to Critics in Senate Address, Declaring AL
 ternatives Are Peace With League or War Without It

Washington, February 27. Further important expressions of opinion on the league of tions came today from Presi- dent Wilson in his conferences at the capitol, from Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chair man of the foreign relations committee, in an address to the Senate, and from senators and representatives who attended the dinner last night at the White House.
 MT. Wilson, in discussing the
 league with members of Congress
 and also at conference with
 newspaper correspondents, cx-
 pressed confidence in the success
 l0f the plan. He also let it be
 known that he had every expecta- '-r iffon of the conclusion of peace
 within n few months, and in this stonnection said that territorial sd ,isf justments presented the most deli
 cate problem remaining. Work on
 all other questions. he stated, is
 rapidly nearing completion by the
 commissions appointed to handle il.
 The President was emphatic in cx- pressing his belief that in no particu- lar did the proposed consultation of tke league conflict with the American con- stitution or with the Monroe doctrine. He also said he had in mind only one amendment, designed to clarity the clause dealing with enforcement of ter ritorial decrees, and reiterated that he would not address Congress before 1t adjourns and would not ask any formal expression from the Senate on the league.

PRESIDENT RELUCTANT

MT. Wilson was said to have indi- cated that he was reluctant to reoren the league constitution before the Ieace conference He was represented as feeling that with the document ap- proved unanimously by IA powers after many weeks deliberation, it would be inadvisable to reopen the negotiations unless changes. proposed were funda- mental The change he has in nInd wss not so classed by the executive.
 Senator Hitchcock, in addressing the Senate in vigorous support of the league replied to recent critics of the plan He declared that the alterna- tfves before the world were peace with the league, or war and preparations Tor war without 1t; the internationaiisms of nations or that of ''the socialist the anarchist and the bolshevist." The sen ator flatly denied that the league vio- lates either the Monroe doctrine or 1ne principles enunciated by Washington, and charged opponents with magnify ing what they regard as dangers and with 'conjuring up scarecroW.
 Senate debate will be resumed to- morrow with addresses by Republican Leader Lodge and Senator Frelinghuy- sen of New Jersey, republican.
