What Will Senate DoP

But now that the treaty is public,
or that version Of it which was sub
mitted to the Germans at Versailles,
what will the Senate do about it? The
republicans admit they haven't the of
fetal document before them for con-
sideration, and that they only wanted
to make it public for the 'informa-
ton" of the people of the United
States. Senator Hitchcock declared
the newspapers would do that any
way, and that the Senate in officially
making public any document which
the President of the United States in
agreement with other governments
had pledged himself not to do was a
breach of international courtesy.
OF course, it may be contended that
no President of the United States
ought to have the right to make such
agreements or give such pledges of
secrecy, but until the rules of the
diplomatic game are changed by con-
sent of all the powers. the Senate
does embarrass the President.
Mr. Wilson undoubtedly will have
to explain to his associates in Paris
how the treaty was made public by
the Senate, and his cablegram of yes
terday will demonstrate clearly to

The report gives names. street ad-

fee boxes of secret agents in each
city who were in charge of arrange

partment of Justice officials stated
that every secret agent named IN the
list was known to him, and that sew
eral of these men have since been
arrested and are either awaiting trial
or already have been tried and sem
fenced to prison.
So far as the public was to be ad-
viSed, open meetings. when scheduled,
were to be called socialist meetings.
according to the report. Russian boil
shevik agents were to make the tour,
the report states.
According to the report, little or
nothing was done at the bolshevik
convention in New York for the rea-
son that operatives of the Depart
ment of Justice bureau of investiga-
ton and the federal secret service
were recognized in the hall. After
the official convention adjourned.
however. according to the report, a
group of known and trusted members
went to AnSonia, Conn.,, one by one,
meeting there at socialist headquar-
tiers, where the plan of campaign was
formulated.
Money Sent Here From Russia.
The report states that to a few
trusted members Statzenko said a
large sum of money had been brought
to this country from Russia to finance
the bolshevik propaganda campaign.
The money the report declares Stat

trusted agents of the Russian boil
shevik. Tension and Mussiloff, who
made the trip disguised as Russian
Jews fleeing from threatened death
and entering the United States by

The report states that StatZenko'
told with great giee of how these two
agents even deceived Of

I. W. W. Members Cooperate.

The I. w. w. as individuals are
supporting the bolshevik movement.
They are received in bolshevik con-
ventions and gatherings the same as
delegates regularly elected by their
respective units. and are finding their
way to important committees of the
socialist party.
Reports received of local socialist
activity clearly indicate that the
transition of socialist party branches
from political socialists to radical in
dustrialists is proceeding rapidly.
The industrialists are taking hold Of
the local heads of the socialist
branches, and indications clearly
point to the radical element using the
socialist party branches as recruiting
grounds for the radical circles
The reference to local socialist ac-
tivity" is to New York and not to
Washington, the report from which
the foregoing is quoted having been
prepared in New York.

Extract From the Report.

Leaders in the radical movement"
says the report. boast of the revolu-
tionary spirit among the working
class. They state that this move
ment is growing more rapidly than
was expected. and that the entire Sc
cret Italian and Finnish socialist or
ganizations have been changed to
bolsheviki groups In various parts OF
the country. Secret orders have been
issued to trusted members of these
bolshevlki groups to purchase as
many revolvers and other weapons as
possible, also ammunition.
Referring to bolshevist and I. w. W.
PROSECUTING activities, the report SAYS:
The i. w. W. has been particularly
active of late and is making every
effort to gam recruits. General head
quarters. l. w. W., in Chicago, are
now issuing credentials to delegates
who will organize on commission.
These delegates receive no salary;
they work solely on commission. Be-
sides the delegates there are what is
known as job hunters. These visit
different cites and locate places
where large operations are in pro-
gress. reporting to headquarters. when
delegates are sent to organize.

Principle Is Important.

But the contents of the document
were not as important as the principle
involved in the fight. The Senate has
from the beginning of last December
insisted that it had an extra -consti-
tutional right to be party to the max
ing of treaties. Fortified by argu-
ments made by the President himself
for open diplomacy, the senators have
kept up constant bombardment of
the Paris conference, where Mr.. Will
son was unable to apply his own
ideas of opening the conference wide,
but was compelled to yield in proce-
dure to Great Britain. France and
Italy, under penalty of breaking up
the whole conference.
Mr.. Wilson himself is unquestion-
ably in sympathy with the desire of
the Senate to keep treaties always in
the public view, but continental
statesmen, more experienced in deal
ing with Germany and her propa-
ganda than is Mr.. Wilson. won the
Presidents assent to their own
course.

are not alternatives. contradictory,
hostile, repellant. On the contrary,
they cO-exist and cooperate harmO-
niously and beneficially. Political
equity and financial equity go natu-
rally hand in hand.
Taxpayers Should Control Taxes.
But the half-and- half law and the
right of municipal self-taxation are
logical alternatives, and one may be
the substitute for the other. Under
the law as it stands the nation is in
effect a half-taxpayer of the District.
and as such it can make some defense
else of the power of disbursing
through Congress all District taxes.
But if the half-and-half law is re-
pealed, and the nation ceases to be a
half-taxpayer in the District, its eX-
ercise of the municipal taxing power
feasible and abhorrent, and the tax
ing power must be yielded to the
actual District taxpayers.
Tax-paying obligation and tax
spending power go together. If the
nation repudiates it's local tax-pnying

it's local tax-impOsing and tax-spend-
ing power.

Has Mr.. Lodges Approval.

The resolution was offered by Sena-
tor Knox, after a conference with
Chairman Lodge of the committee, and
there were evidences that it would
have the backing of most of those
who have conducted the fight against
the league. 1t is understood to be de-
signed as an official notice to the
peace conference that ratification of
the treaty in its present form is OPP
posed.
The resolution asserts the people
of the United States have not had
time to consider the league proposal
deliberately, anu would declare it the
sense of the Senate that 1T will be
regarded as fully adequate for our
national needs" if treaty is adopted

posed for a minute that with modern
newspaper methods and hundreds OF
copies of the peace treaty printed and
distributed among the hundreds OF
experts of the various nations repre-
sented at Paris that somebody would
not give a copy away, or that some
correspondent would not find copy
on his desk without knowing who put
it there. or that the Germans them
selves, anxious to have the treaty
given wide publicity as a basis for
their campaign for modification, would
not see to it that some of their agents
in Paris stole copy of the famous
document and mailed it, if not deliv-
cred it. to various newspaper bureaus
abroad. Germany showed clearly that
she wanted the treaty published
broadcast by having it printed quick
ly and distributed in the Scandinavia ian
countries. in the hope of having it
reach entente peoples.
Senator's Charges.
Senator Hitchcock dramatically
charged the republicans with de
serting Great Britain and France" ami
acting in conflict with the President
and in concurrence, at least, with Ger
many" Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia argued that inasmuch as an
official summary had been published
this really released any one from the
obligation to withhold the whole
text. Mr.. Hitchcock declared the of
fetal summary was all that the as
ISOLATED powers thought wise to give
out, and that they were the best
judges of the situation in Europe.
1t is an interesting commentary on
the situation in Congress that when
Senator Borah began reading the
peace treaty senators filed out one
by one. They weren't even interested
in hearing read the document they
had fought to get published-and
most of them had not seen or read
it before. AS a matter of fact, it is
admitted on all sides. too. that the
official summary given out to the
world doesn't differ from the text
published by the Senate.
