WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Powerful financial interests are endeavoring for selfish interests to put across" the German peace treaty through a senate compromise, Senator Borah, republi- can, Idaho, charged in statement is- sued tonight.
 Urging that congress investigate all legged efforts of J. P. Morgan and com pany and other financial concerns to bring about the treaty's ratification, Senator Borah also asserted that these interests through "the most gigantic propaganda" propose, if possible, to prevent the American people from considering the treaty and the league of nations in the presidential elections next November.
 The financial interests, Senator Be- rah further charged, are at work on scheme which he outlined as having the following objects:
 First, through some compromise or trade secure changes in the reserva- tions so as to get enough votes to put 1t through regardless of whether American interests are protected or | not.
 Second, having put it through in this way, the same forces hope, through their great influence with the leaders of both political parties and their con- | trol over campaign subscriptions, to keep it entirely out of the campaign of 1920--so that the people will never have chance to pass upon the ques- tion."
 Borah Gives Plan
 Tn he language of one of the lead CTS" Senator Borah's statement as- serted, the thing to do is to fix up the compromise, agree upon the deal which will get the votes, then bring the treaty into the senate with the rule establishing cloture, cut off debate and push it through. Then if they can further keep it out of the platform and out of the campaign by reason of their prominence in the party they have accomplished their entire pur- pose. Men have been in Washington during the week working on this plan and they feel rather hopeful of the out
 look.
