New Hampshire Republican Declares Leagll Covenant Is Bad Enough But Terms |
 Peace Pact Are Worse As They Thru United States Into Endless Snare of EurOpea|
 Intrigue LOOKS IN VAIN FOR WILSON'S IA POINTS
Provisions Divide World In|
 Two Groups Composed the Vict0rs and the Val quished.

Washington, July 22.-Decl]| ing it is not the League of N tions but the big five to whiI the peace treaty gives responI bility for effecting the terms peace, Senator Moses, Nd Hampshire, republican, of t foreign relations committee, i'd the senate today that by accet ing the role of a principal pow as defined in the treaty t < United States would embroil self for many years to come European troubles. The sen tor said that while the leagl covenant was bad enough, oth| provisions of the treaty wel worse. Treaty All Embracing.
 ''In this treaty" said Senator Mos1 ''are considerations of many thingsI of shoes and ships and sealing wJ of cabbage snd kings. It 'roams T plains, sails the sea, deIves into il earth and oars into the sky; Hull horses and huntsmen alike coI within it's purview; books, boundari and bullets; guns, goats, guarante and governments; warships, watt ways, woman suffrage and Wilhe II.-in shore the alphabet and creation alike are agonized in an z tempt to deal adequately with mere topical index to this instrument whi we are asked to ratify in haste lt we break the heart of the world Can't Find If Points.
 "These constitute a victor's peao and with them I have no quarrel. B we look in vain through it's 267 pag for the elusive IA points of peaC Open covenants long since took

 National Jealousy Evident.
 Neither can we find here any coi f1rmation of the prediction that tn treaty was to be written in disregal of the old order of the balance power and with no element of nation al commercial greed. All the ell ments of greed, national suspicion, ar jealousy are only too evident in almo every article of the treaty.
 Tn short the sun of commerci expansion in which Germany sougl place passes into total eclipse bt hind this treaty; and the shacklt with which she is to be manacled her obscurity have been forged wit metioulous care by the forward-lool ing men with whom the prasidel was privileged to cooperate at Pari but whose cooperation was strict limited to looking out for themselv' while not emitting to see to it thI the United States should be made full partner in every phase of u enterprise designed for the benefit the other members Of the big five.
 League to Enforce Terms.
 "It naturally follows that a treat such as this cannot be self f-operatiV and we have been assured that, if VI examine it, we shall find that ever, where throughout it's manifold pr, visions its framers have felt oblige to turn to the League of Nations the indispensable instrumentality fC maintenance of the new order whic this instrument purposes to set up.
 II wish to call attention to u manner in which the signatories the instrument have separated then selves into two distinct groups-tF first comprising the United States, tf British empire, France, Italy, and J, pan and everywhere throughout tf treaty described as the principal a lied and associated powers" and tf second, all the other beIligerents wit the exception ef Costa Rica, who, absence from the peace table h, not yet been eXplained-to the nun Der of p.
