Predicts Spread Of
Bolshevism # the
Peace Treaty Fails

New York, Sept. e.-Renewed
Bolshevik efforts throughout Europe
which will spread to America; fur
ther chaos among the newer nation
alities abroad; starvation for mill
lions of persons in Europe during
the coming winter. and the probable
forcing of this country to enter the
League of Nations as a novitiate,
hand in hand with Germany" will
result If the United States Senate
continues to delay ratification of the
proposed Peace Treaty without
change. Thomas W. Lamont, of ]. P.
Morgan & Co., predicted in a state
ment issued here tonight.
Mr.. Lamont, who spent five
months abroad with the American
Peace Commission, serving as a
member of the Supreme Economic
Council, the Inter-Allied Commits
sion and as one of the financial ad-
visers TO the United States delega-
tion, asserted that the whole world
Is crying for peace, for n chance to
renew its normal life and work"
He added that this country, "by con-
tinued inaction, refuses to grant her
consent to the settlements neces-
sary.'
Since it became evident to thu
commercial world that the action o.
the Senate nigh result in the null
lification of the Treaty, there has
been an alarming fall in the rate
OF foreign exchange" Mr.. Lamor;

Declares Wilson Pounding
on Stone Wall Trying For
Unchanged Ratification

Chicago, Sept s. - In a state
ment issued here Will II. Hays,
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. declared that
President Wilson was pounding
against n stoncwa1I In attempting
to have the peace treaty ratified
without reservations.
Chairman Hays statement said:
Il agree with President Wilson
that the treaty will be ratified, but
the ratification will be accompanied
Dy reservations absolutely safe
guarding the full independence and
freedom of action of this republic.
That Is the simple fact which the
President may as Well recognize
first as last At present he Is only
pounding against n stone wall of
patriotism which has already be-
come impregnable and is daily in
creasing in width, strength and
height. The committee reservation
constitute the irreducible minimum
of the requirements of a substantial
majority of senator's who cannot be
coerced or cajoled into violating
their oaths of office to hold America
first. There is no partnership In
their position. True, every Rcpub-
Hcan senator without exception

cerely believe further that an actual
mapority of the Democratic sena-
tors feel the same way and evil
dences multiply daily that when the
time comes a considerable number
VIII vote the same way.
1T Is for the President to deter
mine when the test shall be made.
The treaty will be reported out this
week and a vote can be had as soon
as 1T can be reached under the rules
unless it is delayed by senators act
ing under the direction of the Presi-
dent himself. 1t is simply now up
to the administration to decide
whether it will or will not accept
at once these essential guarantees
of American independence which
Will unquestionably be promptly ac-
cepted by the other nations. It is
imperative that this matter be set
tied right. 1t ought. by all means,
to be settled promptly The fun re-
Sponsibility for any delay will rest
upon the President and him nIone. -

LEAGUE OPPONENTS TO
TURN GUNS ON WILSON
Concerted Counter Attack viii Be Reply Assaults Being
Made in West

Washington, Sept. 8. - The bat
teries of the forces opposed to the
League of Nations Covenant in the
SenIte will be turned loose this week
in Il concerted >counterattack upon
President Wilson, in reply TO his
assaults upon them in his trip
through the West. Both in the
Senate and on the stump Republican
foes of the League will fight back
at the Executive.
Before the week is over the Treaty
with Germany will be reported out
to the Senate from the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee and the last stage of
deliberation upon 1t will be reached.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
committee, has nearly finished the
majority report, which will cover the
four direct amendments and the
four reservations adopted last week.
The minority report, dissenting
from tho amendments and reserva-
tions and urging ratification of the
Treaty without change, as demanded
by the President, will be written by
Senator Hitchcock, ranking Demo
cratic member of the committee. in
cooperation with Senators Swanson,
of Virginia, and Williams, of Miss
issippi.
The two reports will be ready, ac-
cording to the belief to-day by
Thursday at the latest, the Treaty
being reported on that day. Then
will ensue debate upon the reserva-
tions and amendments, and this is
expected to run on for some six
! weeks, IL not considerably longer.
Leaders in both parties in the upper
body agree that the final vote on
ratification can hardly be reached
before November 1.
Plans of Minority Leaders
In their minority report, the
Democratic Senators will insist that
the peace of the world demands inn
mediate ratification of the Treaty
without any changes that would en-
tail recommitting it to Paris. The
entire reconstruction work of this
country, and of the whole world, the
Administration Senators will argue
must await disposition of the Treaty
They will point out that, without
America in the League of Nations
the whole fabric of world peace will
be endangered.
While the majority of Administra-
ton Senators are disposed to believe
that interpretative reservations al
least will have to be adopted, ia
satisfy the critics of the Treaty
lHeTe Will De no mention or them
1t is said, in the report of the COM
mittee minority. The fight of the
Administration forces will be made
on the clear-cut issue of accepting
the Treaty without change. If any
compromise is found, later on, ia
be necessary. they will consider what
concessions must be given.
In the meantime, sentiment
among the Republican majority is to
be worked upon by the Democratic
leaders. The Republican leaders in
sist that they will come to no com
promise on interpretatiVe reserva-
tions and the indications are now
that they undoubtedly will have a
majority of votes to put through
reservations as a part of the rati-
flying resolution. Interpretative res
ervations, the Republican leaders
say, will never satisfy the majority
of the Senate.

and possibly nine from the Admins
tration camp, who will align them

selves for reservations along the line
OF those adopted by the committee,
gives renewed confidence to the Re-
publican leaders that their fight will
be won. They do not fear, they say,
that the mild reservationists will
desert the camp of opposition. The
mild reservationists, themselves, ap-
pear, by their expression OF opinion,
to bear this prophecy out.
Only Forty Democrats
Only forty Democrats have been
counted upon to support the Peace
Treaty since that document was first
submitted to the Senate.
This was disclosed to-day by some
of the Democratic leaders, who are
striving to minimize the importance
of revealed Democratic defections
from the Presidents forces.
Seven Democrats have been known
by the leaders to be against the
Treaty, but so long as they made no
announcement of their opposition
nothing was said about 1t and the
pretense had been maintained in the
Senate and at the White House
that with the exception of Senators
Gore and Reed, the Democrats were
dents program. The discussion
throws additional light upon the
Presidents trip, and some of his
utterances.
The President Is making his ap-
pealS directly to the constituents of
Republican Senators. He knows he
cannot persuade the dissatisfied
Democrats to return to their alleg-
lance, and his sole hope for the rati-
fication of the Treaty unchanged
rests upon the possibility of gain
! Inn ID ant
How hopeless task this Is the
President knew before he left Wash
ington, and because he knew he in
structed Senator Hitchcock to enter
into negotiations with the mild
reservationists upon the Republican
side, looking to an agreement upon
program of Treaty changes that
would be less drastic than that pro-
posed by the Foreign Relations Com
mittee.
Measurements by Wilson
From the standpoint of all Sen
ators opposed to the surrender of
American Independence the Presi-
dent Is making statements in the
west which are not in strict accord
with his knowledge of conditions
here in Washington, just as his
spokesmen in the Senate have been
been based upon known facts.
The Presidents speeches are,
therefore, being more severely
criticised by Senators than they
would be, If 1t were thought that the
Presidents knowledge - the situa-
tion were deficient or that he had
| been misled by Senator Hitchcock,
| Swanson and others OF his advisers.
Wilson's Criticism Challenged
Some of the Presidents state
ments respecting the effect of the
Treaty will be challenged in the SEN
ate. One of these made yesterday
concerns the effect upon the Armen-
ians of delay in ratification. Un-
less the President already has prom
ised that the United States will ac-
cept n mandatory for Armenia 1t is
impossible to see how the Senate
debate Is adding to the hardships OF
the Armenians.
The. actual settlement of the
Armenian question is provided, not
by the Treaty with Germany, which
the President is discussing, but by
