LEAGUE ATTACK RENEWED


 Although the peace declaration proposal was not discussed in the Senate chamber during the day. Senator Borah aroused three hour debate on other issues of the treaty fight by renewing his attack on the league covenant. The provision for an army of 100000 men. the Idaho Senator declared the league would in- crease rather than decrease armament-
 In committee discussion of the peace declaration today the proponents of im- mediate action are understood to have ar gued that Germany's acceptance or the treaty was assured and with an actual condition of peace established, the sooner a formal and technical declaration was adopted the better.
 Such a declaration would, they argued, permit a resumption of industrial reia- | ticns with Germany which would have l to wait otherwise on the treaty's ratifi- cation.
 Those opposing immediate action are said to have taken the gound that if Congress were empowered to act in tho matter at all, it ought not to do so until the treaty actually had been signed. Others are said to have held that the re- solution was unnecessary and that peace conditions would not necessarily walt upon ratification of the treaty. There also were suggestions that it was the duty of the President and not Congress to make such declaration Senator Borah pointed out that Gen. eral March, chief of staff. had told the Senate military committee an army or 500 900 would be sufficient for the United States. under the league of na- tions, eff the other nations do their share" and added:
 "Heavens only knows what we will need if the other nations do not. IF
 we are going to exercise economic pressure on other nations for every lit- | tie cause and if we're going to police the world, he is driveling idiot who l thinks that means anything but stu l pendous army"

Efforts to Press Resolution to Declare State of Peace With Germany Meets Strong Opposition During Discussion Yesterday

w. Washington, June 25.-E'a1l-
 ing to command the united SUD-
 port of opponents of the league
 of nations, the proposal for an
 immediate declaration of peace
 by Congress was blocked today
 in the Senate foreign relations committee.
 After a long and lively discussion the committee voted, l2 to f. to defer action for the present on the resolution. of Senator Fall republican. New Mexico. embodying the peace declaration. Five
 senators opposing the league, including Chairman Lodge, joined the league ad- vocates in supporting the postpnement
 motion. Resides MT Fall those voting for immediate action were Senator Borah. Idaho Johnson, California. and
 Moses, New Hampshire, all republicans. Later a special meeting to resume con- sideration of the resolution was called for Monday and Senator Fall predicted a favorable report of the measure would result. It's opponents, however, de- clared the discussion today revealed such strong opposition in the committee that favorable action would be impossible, although it was said the principal point discussed was the advisab ability of urg- ing resolution before the treaty had been signed.
 | After the committees decision Mir Fall announed in the Senate that he would not ask for action on his amendment to the army bill, also embodying the peace de- l claration. The amendment thus failed actually to come before the Senate, hav- | ing been technically disposed of previous I ly when a section to which it had been attached went over the bill on point f of order,
