had copy of the treaty. The volum-
inous and much defeated document
was contained in the Congressional
Record. printed by order of the Senate
late yesterday after an epoch-mal<ing
fight and just after a message from
President Wilson had been read saying
he could not send the text of the treaty
to the Senate without breaking faith
with other members of the council.
TIE copy of the treaty, brought to
this country by a ewspaperman. went
into the record as result of vigorous
efforts of Senator Borah. OF Idaho. and
other Republican leaders. 1t was not
however until Senator Borah began
reading the 100000 word text of the

many hours to complete that oppo-
nents of publication capitulated.

Wants Greed Out of Treaty
A resolution to have the Senate de-
clare it could not concur in the
League of Nations provisions of the
Peace Treaty as now drawn was in
troduced by Senator Knox. Pennsyl-
vania, Republican, of the Foreign
Relations Committee
The resolution, which is expected
to bring to a more definite stage the
fight being made against the League
covenant, asks that the covenant be
fore submitted to the Senate for
ratification.
At the request of Senator Knox,
who announced he would later dis
cuss it in the Senate, the resolution
was referred to the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee.
Notice to Peace Makers
The resolution was offered by Sen
ator 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 under
stood to be designed as an official
notice to the Peace Conference that
ratification of the Treaty in it's pres
ent form is opposed.
Purposes of Resolution
The Knox resolution proposes
that 1.-The Treaty shall be so drawn
as to permit any nation to reserve
without prejudice to itself for future
separate and full consideration by
it's people the question of any
League of Nations" but that the
obligations of Germany and her CO
belligerents under the Treaty shall
not be thereby affected.
The resolution also would declare
it the policy of the United States
Government. "in order to meet fully
and fairly our obligations to our
selves and to the world that the
freedom and peace of Europe being
again threatened by any power or
combination of powers, the United
States will regard such a situation
with grave concern as a menace to
it's own peace and freedom"
Provides For Defense
In such an event, the resolution
proposes that the United States con-
suit with other powers affected with
a view to devising means for the
removal of such menace and will, if
necessity arises in the future, carry
out the same complete accord and
cooperation with our chief CO.
belligerents for the defense of civ
ilization."
