SAYS PEOPLE OF WEST
WANT NATIONS LEAGUE
Representative Ferris Also Hears
Demand for Peace and Relief
From Profiteering.

Relief from profiteering, immediate
ratification of the peace treaty, in
GLIDING the league of nations cove
nant, and passage of a soldier land
bill are demanded by the people of
the middle west and southwest, de-
clared Representative Scott Ferris of
Oklahoma upon his return to Wash
ington today from a visit to those
sections. Mr.. Ferris is chairman of
the democratic congressional commit
tee.
III l am any judge Of public senti-
ment in the southwestern and middle
western states" said Representative
Ferris, the preponderance Is that the
peace treaty, including the league Of
nations. be agreed to at the earliest
possible date; that peace and pre-war
conditions be Immediately restored,
and that We get back to normal condi-
ti9ns at the earliest possible moment.
derstand full well that the peace
treaty carries provisions for arbi-
tratton, for disarmament and against
secret treaties, and that the United
draw from the league at any time.
They are .heartsick about debates on
Shantung&nd other technical phases
they want the whole mater agreed
III ! am any Judge. the people of
these sections demand immediate re-
lief from pro1teering. They also
want it made clear that President
wilson's suggestions be followed, and
that every profiteer be required to
content himself with reasonable
profits. Conditions are too abnormal
and the load Of the citizen is too
heavy to Withstand the fabulous
profits being snatched from both pro-
Queer and consumer.
The people also demand that Con-
gress do for the four million SOL
diers what other countries are
doing-give them some substan-
tial recognition Of their services 8.
In conversing with numerous soldiers
on the subject, they expressed the
hope that the Mondell soldier land
bill might be materially amended. so
that it will benefit a very much
larger number of soldiers than as It
Is now down, and extend an oppor-
tunity to those who do not desire to
enter a soldiers colonization plan"

The traditional decorum of Senate
procedure was upset yesterday by an
unusual demonstration of approval
from the galleries following an ad-
dress by Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets. chairman of the foreign rela-
lions committee, assailing provisions
of the league of nations covenant.
For more than a minute the gallery
spectators applauded and cheered in
violation of Senate rules, and then
| when order had been restored they in
| terrupted with bowls and Kisses a
speech by Senator Williams, democrat,
Mississippi, in reply to Mr.. Lodge.
In spite of sharp admonition from the
chair. there were more Kisses mingled
with applause when Senator Hitch

Senator Williams speech.
Vice President Marshall made no
attempt to check the first demonstra-
ton until it had begun to die out, but
later he twice threatened to clear the
galleries unless order was preserved.

terrupted, was aimed chiefly against

subject nation" and ended with an
appeal for the preservation of Ameri-
canism. The covenant in it's present
form. he asserted, would not estab-
lish league of peace, but would de-
stroy the Monroe doctrine and give
other nations the power to decide
domestic American questions and to
order American troops into foreign
service.
Mr.. Williams Assails Mr.. Lodge.
the foreign relations chairman, de-
claring that in three months of prep
aration he had worded his address to
serve republican political ends and
to play to the galleries.
There was not appeal in Senator
Lodges address for rejection for the
! league altogether, nor was there any
mention or the program of reserva-
lions by seven republican senators
as basis of it's acceptance. 1t was
learned. however. that this program
had been discussed with him by some
of its sponsors and that a conference
of republicans would be held within
a few days at which an attempt will
be made to bring the Massachusetts
senator and several others into agree
ment on such a plan.
1t was understood the reservation
group felt they had good ground for

enough republicans then could be
lined up to insure success of the
movement should the democratic lead
ers give their assent.
The republican senators, who have
agreed on a reservation program, are
anxious that the treaty be disposed of
at the earliest possible moment, and
it is believed they will try to i'm
press that sentiment at the forth
coming conferences with Senator
Lodge and others

Hitchcock read from an address
by Mr.. Lodge in 1915. favoring
the idea of league. and added:

Unfavorable Impression Created
Proposal by Pope Quoted.

LONDON. August IL (by the Asso-
ciated Press):-A white paper" is
sued by the government tonight deals
with the papal peace proposal to the
belligerents in August, 1917. The
Pope in his note said that, before
everything. the fundamental point
must be that the moral force of
right should be substituted for the
material force of arms, and pointed
out that this would entail a general
agreement for the simultaneous and
reciprocal reduction of ornaments
and the institution Of the principle
Of arbitration.
The pontin stipulated for complete
evacuation of Belgium and French
territory, with the complete political.
military and economic independence
of Belgium, restitution Of the Ger
man colonies and complete freedom
of the seas.
