TAFT AGAIN HITS
FOES OF LEAGUE
Declares Government Extends Mon
roe Doctrine to World Says
Senate Talk is silly.

San Francisco, Cal. Feb. I'll
Former President william II. Taft
addressing the closing session last
night Of the Pacific Coast Congress
of the League to Enforce Peace, re-
piled to his critics and opponents
of the plan for the establishment
of a league of nations. and referred
particularly to an open letter ad-
dressed to him by United States
Senator william +. Borah of Idaho,
in which was questioned the eff
cacy Of the Monroe doctrine in the
event the league of nations plan
was adopted"
Senator Borah wants to know
in what he calls an open letter"
said Mr.. Taft, whether ] would
consent to a league of nations in
which the Monroe doctrine is not
recognized | will answer him by
sayins that I would like to have the
Monroe doctrine acknowled ged
specifically by such a league, but
If a recognition Of its principles is
contained in the covenant for such
a league, l would not object to the
form on which it is put.
Article 10 of the covenant draft
ed in Paris extends the Monroe
doctrine to the entire world. and
gives it the backing Of the entire
world. Consequently it recognizes
the Monroe doctrine and I am in
accord and entire support of that
covenant.
What I would like to ask Sen
ator BOrah is this: If ha insists on
the specific acknowledgement of
the Monroe dictrine of the cove
nant Of the league of nations, and
If such recognition is given it in
final agreement, will he vote for a
treaty based on the covenant as
finally amended?
THE wild words of Representa-
tive Fess and Senators Reed and
Poindexter shouted out in the air
on the theory that the people of
this country do not read or that
they will accept their bald state
ments, would be humorous if they
were not the utterances of such
eminent and learned gentlemen"
Mr.. Taft leaves today for Salt
Lake City to attend the Mountain
Congress of the League to Enforce
Peace.

LEAGUE SPEECH
Tries to Prevent Presi-
dent from Telling
of Pact.

Washington, Feb. 2l-A resolu-
tion designed to prevent President
Wilson from discussing publicly
the proposed league of nations un-
til he has communicated details of
the plan to the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, was introduced
today by Senator Sherman of Hi
nois, Republican. Consideration Of
the resolution went over under the
rules.
The resolution declares that to
discuss the plan and the proposed
constitution before submitting the
details to the senate would be "un-
wise, undiplomatic, and calculated
to promote discord" between the
governments two treaty-making
powers, and calls upon the presi-
dent to preserve an unbiased and
impartial mind" until he has dis
cussed the matter with the senate.
Senator Borah of Idaho, Repub-
lican member of the foreign rela-
tions committee, delivered in the
senate today his promised attack
on the proposed league of nations
and referred to it 'as the most rad
ical departure from our policies
that we have ever considered"
Statements made by former Pres
ident Taft that the proposed league
of nations did not contravene with
Washington doctrine against en-
gaging in entangling alliances with
foreign countries or the Monroe
doctrine, were declared by Senator
Borah to be "to the utmost degree
misleading"
THE people Of the United States
have the undoubted right" he said,
ito change their form of govern
ment and to renounce their estab-
lished policies whenever they see
fit. / would not oppose any change
in an orderly fashion as may meet

whenever that radical departure
from established policies is propos-
ed, the people ought to be con-
suited"

WAR COST SNAG
is HOLDING UP
PEACE ACTION
Fight on Whether to
Make Foe Pay Ex-
pense of Conflict.

Paris, Feb. 21-While the peace
conference leaders have been
awaiting the outcome of Premier
ClemenCeau's injury to determine
what the program of the conference
shall be for the immediate future.
the question of fixing the huge
amount the enemy is to pay for
reparatiOn is taking such form be
fore the commission on reparation
that it may have to be referred to
the council OF the great powers and
to the heads of the various govern
ments. owing to the seriousness of
the main issue presented.
This issue turns principally on
whether the cost to the various
countries in conducting the war
should be included in the claim, n
addition to reparation for damages.
1t is maintained by those urging the
negative view that the commission
sent to President Wilson, with the
allies, was first accepted the Ger
man proposal for an armistice, de-
clared specifically only for repara-
ton and made no mention of the
cost of the war The latter, how
ever. now has become one of the
chief claims.
The total amount to be required
for reparation probably could be
quickly determined, but the addi-
ton of the total cost of the war
would swell the aggregate to such
a stupendous sum that doubts are
raised concerning the ability to
collect it.
In view of the importance of this
issue it is probable that President
Wilson and others in the highest
authority will be consulted by cable
and wireless, as neither the COM
mission nor the delegations have
thus far been able to reach a de-
cision.
