appropriation committee. Not content
with levelling your mud batteries on
the league Of nations covenant, you
continued to0take Issue with your rep
every important question.
Senator Harrison quoted an address
by Republican Leader Lodge support
ing Italys claim to Fiume and con-
tinued:
when China, stirred and influenced
by expressions emanating from your
leaders, refused to sign the peace
treaty, they received the most sin
cere cooperation and sympathy from
you. When the representatives OF
their power, commensurate with right
and justice, to compromise our diff
ferences with Japan, your leaders
famed the fires OF discomfort and did
everything to widen the breach. You
are still doing it.
Compares Them to Hellhounds.
Before Germany signed the treaty
your leaders in this chamber by elo-
quence that sounded to German ears
showed to them opposition that was
sympathetic and akin. Nothing has
been left undone by you to have fail
ure written over the conference door
at Versailles. Your action is only COM
parable to the conduct of the never
ceasing hellhounds Milton stationed at
the Internal gates"
The objections raised over the Mon
roe doctrine, withdrawal from the
league, and racial and religious ques-
lions, Senator Harrison said, had been
made ito allure and deceive the I'M
suspecting public" He denied that
Great Britain could dominate the
league, or that the Monroe doctrine
was not safeguarded.
Referring to charges that the blacks
would control the league, he con-
tinued:
1.-The black man at no place and at
no time in history where he and the
white man sat at the same council
table, dominated or controlled
THE opponents also have appealed
to the religious prejudice of the peo-
pie, saying that the papacy might
control. 1 am a Protestant, but 1 de-
nounce as unfair. unjust and Infamous
such arguments against the league of
nations.
You have tried to arouse the Irish
of the nation into believing that If the
league Of nations is adopted, Ireland's
hope for DIFFERENTIATION is gone.
You have tried to arouse their preju-
dice. There is nothing in that Ian
guage Gin article Ky that could be
construed to make it obligatory upon
the United States to interfere in any
| war between ireland and England. We
might side with Ireland"
That the Republican leaders also
have sought to arraign labor against
the league was asserted by Mr.. Har-
rison who said their argument was
exploded" because of the part Sam
uel Gompers had in drafting the labor
sections of the treaty and also be-
cause, he said, virtually every labor
organization in the country has en-
dorsed the league almost unanimously.

for the losses which the allied powers
suffered thru the war. No specific
amount of damages is named. This
will be determined by the reparation
commission set up by the German
treaty. Notification of the amount
is to be given Austria before May I,
1921, and a period of 80 years is al
lowed for payment in installments.
Provision is made for restoration by

other Republican leaders, Senator
Harrison said, are not only unneces-

The Berger hearing was re-opened
after several weeks recess.
The general lines of Berger's de-
tense are that he has not been finally
convicted of any crime and, therefore,
should not be denied the seat to
which he says he was legally elected.
His conviction is before the supreme
court.
Arguments that the third section of
the fourteenth constitutional amend
ment pertained only to acts committed
in the Civil war, were made before the
committee by Henry Cochems, attor-
