Comment by Senator's.

The report from Paris that news
of the debates in the Senate on the
league of nations and other important
measures was being suppressed
through censorship created an un-
favora BILE impression at the Capitol
today. Some of the senators, how
ever. said that they were not sur
prised at the report; that they had
believed for some time that this coun-
try was not getting all the news of
what was transpiring iii Paris, and
that Paris was equally ignorant of
what was being said here.
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
one of the senators who opposed the
league of nations, said that while he
had been one of the strongest sup
porters of the espionage act, provid-
ing for censorship during the war.
now that the war. was practically
over there was just as much reason
for absolute freedom in transmission
of news affecting the peace negotia-
tions as there was reason why news
that might have been of importance
to the enemy should be suppressed
during the war.
II believe that this matter should
be gone into thoroughly" said Sena-
tor Poindexter, land If news of I'M
portance is being suppressed on either
side of the Atlantic ocean the people
should know of it."
