TO ASK

COMPLETE TEXT
Senator to Introduce Reso-
luton to Learn Scope
Of Treaty.

y resolution demanding from the
State Department the full text of
the peace treaty will be introduced
in the Senate tomorrow by Senator
Hiram Johnson, of California.
Senator johnson is one of the
Senators who have withheld COM
ment upon the summary of the
treaty. holding that the foQ text
should be at hand before any at
tempt is made to analyze it's con-
tents.
II am very suspicious of the syn
opsis of any document emanating
from the administration" said Sem
ator Johnson II want the full
document. and / want to know just
exactly the terms of the treaty. The
inference to be drawn from what
has been given us Is that every
important and unimportant detail,
even relating to the skull of Ok
wawa. have been duly given to the
American people. but small. hidden
dispatches here and there are con-
stantly limiting at other terms of the
treaty of which the American peo-
pie have been told nothing"
Claim Cable Coercive.
What is looked upon by some here
as a blunt attempt to coerce the Sem
ate into ratifying the peace treaty
without taking any time to debate or
anne nd it has been revealed to mem
bers of the Senate by a press cable
gram from Paris.
| This message says one of the hither-
| to concealed sections OF the treaty pro-
vices tIIat whenever three nations
ratify it. they may at once resume
| trade relations with Germany. Ma
tIons which do not ratify the treaty
will be debarred from this privilege
until they shall have ratified. Hence
the section, il correctly transmitted,
| ir is contended. is a sop to all the
nations to ratify the treaty promptly
in order to get a share OF the German
| trade.

A few minutes later the big plane

1t was hinted that the plane
might take the air again this after

before tomorrow.

everything is in readiness for i'm

to Lisbon. Fourteen destroyers
marking the course have already
taken their positions and are await
