council of four will be able to send
a reply to the German counter pro

suspended owing to the wind. Today
the drilling in was resumed. Reports
are that the prospects for a big pro
ducer are getting better with every hour.

STORMY DEBATE OVER
CHARGE OF LEAK IN
DIPLOMATIC CIRCLES

Washington June 5-The leak in
| diplomatic channels through which it
has been charged copies of the un-
published peace treaty with Germany
reached certain interests in New York
was the subject of another stormy de.
bate today in the senate.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
ranking democrat of the foreign rela-
tions committee, in calling up his rcso-
luton for a senate investigation of all
facts in the case declared the state
mentS of Senators Lodge of Massachu-
setts and Borah of Idaho republican
members of the committee, regarding
the presence of copies in New oYrk,
! conrtituted "A 'monsrrous charse.r
If this charge had been made in
the interest of the public he said and
not merely in order to attack the
treaty the senators making it would
have demanded senatorial iuvestiga.
ton The speech drew replies from
both Mr.. Lodge and Mr. Borah.
IL presume" said Mr.. Hitchcock,
that there will be no substantial OBJ
lection to this proposal. 1t is a mat
ter of the most tremendous urgency
that investigation should be had of
charges made upon the responsibility
ol two senators that copies of the
treaty have fallen into the hanads of
New York interests while being with
held from the senate of the United
States.
The request for this investigation
should have been made by the senator's
who lugged into the senate this serious
charge. They do not appear to realize
the embarrassing position b. which
they placed themselves by not asking
an Investigation"
a declaration by the Nebraska sen
ator that Senator Lodge and Borah |
had "insnuated broadly that the presi- |
dent permitted copies to 20 to business |
concerns in New York City, brought |
Mr. Lodge at once to his feet.
Il said nothing Whatsoever about
financial interests" asserted the Mas.
sachusetts senator.

cock, that there may be some difference
between the positions of the two sena.

however in their attack.

pears To be new chapter in the at
ack on the treaty itself 1t is a mon
itrous charge. Men who make such a
'harge owe ii to the public to demand
investigation and they would have de-
handed investigation if they had made
in the public interest and not for
he purpose of hurting the treaty"
Senator Hitchcock declared that if
New York interests had treaty cop
es they apparently are in closer com.
with enemies of the treaty
han with friends of the treaty"
