DEMANDS PROBE
(continued from Page 0ns)

You can beat my resolution II you
want to. You can put in that vague
substitute. But the people OF the
country won't be satisfied with that
kind Of an investigation.
Senator Lodge denied that he de-
sired to evade investigation and as
sured Senator Hitchcock that he
would get all the investigation ne
desires" Senator Borah said ne
thought either resolution would be
broad enough to give the committee
access to 1.-The whole field" Of inve'-
tigation.
There was much speculation to-
night as to the turn the inquiry may
take. Senator Lodge told the Senate
yesterday that he could not reveal
the source of his information about
the treaty copies. and Senator Borah
is understood to take the same view.
In some quarters it was suggest
ed that subpoenaes might be issued
to representatives Of any financial
interests suspected Of having private
channels for securing such informa-
ton. Another opinion was that the
inquiry would begin at the other end
and seek to locate first any possible
leak" among government officials
or attaches.
In this connection much comment
was caused by an Associated Press
despatch mentioned in the Senate
during the day by Senator McCor-
mick. Republican Of Illinois. saying
it was understood in Paris that the
Berlin government was sending cop
les Of the treaty to members of
Congress. So far as could be learn
cd no such copies have arrived here.
Senator Borah has announced his
intention of making the treaty pub
lie as soon as he receives a copy but
said tonight he had been unable so
far to obtain one.
