LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AIRED in CONGRESS
Borah In Senate and Fess in
House Lead Opposition 10
President Wilson's Schemes

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.--Serious
criticism of the proposed constitutions
of the league of nations was voiced
today in both Houses of Congress.
Speaking for three hours before
crowded galleries, Senator Poindex.
ter, of Washington, Republican, pre-
cipitated discussion in the Senate
which embraced other subjects and
consumed practically the entire se.s.
sion. However, there was no formal
reply to the Washington Senator frcn,
the Democratic side.
Discussion in the House was unes3-
pected and was not general. Just 4
the members were settling down 4
q night session, Representative Fess
of Ohio, chairman of the Republican
Congressional campaign committee,
delivered carefully prepared adj
dress in which he took up the consti-
tuition section by section and de-
nounced the whole as abridging the
sovereignty of the United States and
containing vicious possibilities"
The addresses by Senator Poindex-
first prepared ones made in Congress
since the constitution Of the league
was published and since President
Wilson requested that discussion be
postponed until he could confer with
members of the Senate and House
foreign affairs committee at the White
House next week.
When Representative Fess conclud-
ed there was no further discussion in
the House, but during Senator Poin-
dexter's address Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, Republican Leader
Lodge and Senators Knox Of Penn
sylvania and Brandege of Connecti-
cut, all members of the Foreign Re
lations Committees, briefly interject-
ed comment on questions involved in
the league. Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,, Democrat, spoke in criticism of
the proposal and also vigorously de-
nounced delay in demobilizing Amer
lean troops. Senator Shafroth of
Colorado, Democrat. in defending the
War Department, after Mr.. Reed's
attack, spoke briefly in support OF the
league charter, declaring il would sfor
nine-tenths of future wars
Senator Poindexter Of Washing
ton, Republican, declared entrance Of
the United States into the league
would mean a surrender Of American
rights, privileges and sovereignty, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and violation Of the constitution.
The constitution of the league, he
asserted, was conflicting, indefinite
and uncertain, and the machinery
which it proposes to set up similar to
the soviet government Of Russia. !"
