LEAGUE |S PLOT TO GET CONTROL
 IF U.e.RESQURCE:

CHICAGO. March 15.-Colonel George Harvey, editor of the North American Review, in an address before gather ing of bankers tonight, declared the league of nations covenant as drawn is doomed to failure" but that the substance of the plan has not been and will not be abandoned
 Colonel Harvey declared that Amer ica is only a cats paw" and that no foreign power cared for the welfare Of the United States. and was not giving thought to it. except to gain advantage and obtain control of Americas vast resources. He asserted at the outset he would not under any circumstances. in the common phrase, attack the presi- dent but he asserted, i've are too prone to make a fetish of our chief magistrate and to regard his every ac- ton as of origin so pearly approaching divine as 10 be practically immune even to discussion
 The speaker said that the people were asked to divest our nation of it's full independence and it's most cher lshed tradition and to sacrifice in part at least our sovereignty.
 The present league proposal. he con tinued, is perpetual a covenant from which none of the parties can withdraw with honor or without in effect draw ing war on the rest of the world"
 Can't Move President .<
 The president is so fully committed to the project and so firmly convicted of the support of the people that a test of the sentiment of the country is inevitable,'' said Colonel Harvey. Whether he will sucaed in convincing the delegates of the other powers of his ability so to entWine the league of na- tions with the peace treaty proper so as to enable him to coerce the senate. seems doubtful. but failing that, there l is hardly question of his fetching home some kind of proposition. upon which to raise a definite issue before the country
 Colonel Harvey declared he could find no authority anywhere. that our primary duty is to those of distant climes, rather than to our neighbors and ourselves. l deny further than our primary duty is to men everywhere. g he asserted. "America has not failed in her duty 10 the world" and asked: Gan better than the glorious results already attained be reasonably antici- pated from a mingling of her undefiled spirit with the diverse and incongruoUs 1 clements of the old world?"
 We do not only assume but demand virtual guardianship of the western 1 hemisphere and we are free men. and we will take no dictation and we will not follow blindly," he declared emphatically. adding that Ito thine own 1 self be true" applies with force no less to nation than to an individual. Let them beware of surrendering a 1 political power they already possess. " l he quoted from Abraham Lincoln speaking on the American people and their government. and from Daniel l Webster, thank God I--I also-am an American in concluding his ad- dress.

CHAMBERLAIN SAYS MORE MAR RATHER
 THAN YIELD RIGHTS

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Senator Chamberlain of Oregon. chairman of the military committee of the last sen ate, said in an address here tonight, before the Mississippi society. that de- feat of the treaty of peace and another war would be preferable to the surren- der of any fundamental American right He dwelt particularly upon the proposal of Niscount Ishii. the Japanese ambas- sadOr, that the constitution of the league of nations forbid racial dis Crimination.
 The right of racial discrimination is purely a domestic question, said Sena- tor Chamberlain. Tt is not an inter national question. Now. however Japan wants to make it an international question. If the clause that Niscount Ishn insists shall be in the constitu- ton of the league Of nations. is per mitted 10 stand, it means that We must let down the bars to the admission of orientals. That would mean the ruin of the west

"But if the allies refuse to allow the plea of Japan and that nation declares Co join the league. then We will have three outlawed nations-Germany. Rus sia and Japan.

I think we should very frankly discuss these questions We should face the perils and be ready Co meet them. | anu not among those who believe that discussion should be deferred. The danger is present and should be frankly pointed out.

TEXT OF TREATY BEING PERUSED
 BYPRES|DENT I.
May Not Be Completed by March ? - Americans Plan to Make Signing of Preliminary Formal End of War-League may not be in First.

PARIS, March t5.-(6y the Assooi- ated Press)-lf President Wilson in- sists that the league of nations be in- eorporated in the preliminary peace treaty, the British. it is understood, will eoneede the point, although they still believe that the preliminary pact is not the proper place for the inaUg- urstion of the league, which they de- clare should be included in the final peace pact. This attitude was indi- eated today, after the announcement that the American delegation strongly desired the inclusion of the league m the preliminary treaty, as we'll as in the final pact.
 The British, it is made known. do not wish to delay the league of nations program in any way. but they e>Soress the keenest desire for the immediate signing of the preliminary peace treaty SO as to alleviate unsatisfactory eon- ditions resulting from the continual ton of the arrnistiee.
 In order to get speedy action, they expect to strip the preliminary pact of all eStrsneous matters, which they believe include the league of nations. The league under the British program would be taken up immediately after the conclusion of the preliminaries of peace and any amendments which might be added would be made a part of the final pact.

Wemyss Demands Answer

Vice Admiral Sir Roslyn Wemyss of Great Britain. chairman of the allied delegation, read a statement prepared for him by the civilian members, call ing on the Germans to say categoricahy whether they abided by the terms of the armistice. Under Secretary of State von Braun replied curtly Yes"
 Admiral Wemyss then read one page of typewritten memorandum, giving in crisp sentences the terms of the allies for granting food to Germany-the German merchant fleet to be handed over at once, financial provisions to be made at once, food to be delivered at once, and to be continued until the next harvest, or as long as Germany abided by the terms of the agreement.
 As the statement was ready, it was translated into German and French, the German replies receiving the same treatment. The air of impersonality was preserved throughout 1t was then settled that the details of the ration of 370,000 tons of food monthly, with the shipping and financial plans, should be elaborated in subcommittee and the first plenarv session adjourned, having lasted only a few minutes.
 The sub b-committee on food was un- der the chairmanship of Herbert Hoov- CT. director general of the inter-allied food administrations: Thomas W. La mont, represents the United States on the subcommittee on finance and J. F. Robinson. of the United States ship ping board, on the subcommittee on shipping.

May Not Finish 25th

Tho inevitable delays on various de- tails lead 10 doubts for the first time in American quarters on completing the treaty by March 25. as was ex- pected. It has developed also that Mr Lloyd George is obliged to return to London the middle Of the coming week. and he is unable to say how long he will be gone owing to the British labor congress and other subjects requiring his attention in London. It is hoped that he will return within a week or ten days or possibly turn over British in- terests to Mir. Balfour, but his absence may have the effect of prolonging the conclusion of the treaty beyond the s5th.
 it was stated at American headquar- ters that the treaty now being framed would be the definite treaty covering all he main subjects. and would not be . preliminary. It is the treaty which will be submitted to the United States senate for ratification. and after its conclusion the remaining details will be largely formalities.
 No decision has yet been made con- corning the seat of the league of ma tiOns, but the minister of foreign af- fairs of Belgium has written offering one of the historic palaces of Brussels as tho homo Of the league. if Brussels is chosen. Inc prevailing American
