MILDLY SCORE WILSON
Convention Expresses Surprise and
Regret at Recommendation Made
by President in Message to
~p.. Special Session.

Denver, May PA resolution ask,
Ing congress not to follow the recon-
mendation of President Wilson for the
repeal of wartime prohibition, as it
AFFECTS wines and beers, was adopted
by the Northern Baptist convention.
The resolution says the delegates
have read with great surprise and pro.
found regret the recommendations of
President Wilson in his last message
to Congress that it should rescind the
act enforcing wartime prohibition in
solar as it applies to wine and beer.
b resolution points out that with
hundreds of thousands of boys still in
the army and navy who should be pro-
tected against evils arising from the
sale of int%oxicants," and with the food
question still acute" the considera-
tions, which furnished the basis for the
enactment of war prohibition still ex-
lists.
The convention had before it one
OF the big questions of the meeting,
the proposal to create a general plan
ming board to coordinate church
finances. The plan, devised to put re-
ligious work Oh a basis of efficiency,
is the result of months of work of the
laymen's committee and is a subject
concerning which there is a great d.
yergence of views.
The proposal contemplates the crea-
ton of a representative assembly in
which each state and each Baptist con
'vention department will have represen-
tation. This assembly will meet once
each year to receive estimates from
each, department Of church work for
the coming year and prepare a budget
so that all departments can be. financed
through n general campaign, leaving
each department free to devote all it's
time to constructive work. Advocates
OF the plan were confident that the
convention ultimately would indorse
the report.

SOME CLASHES RESULT
Senator johnson Of California;, Author
of the Resolution, Starts Debate
by Charging Supporters Were
%Concealing Something.

Washington, May 26.-The senate
debated for three hours the peace
treaty, with its league of nations GOV
enant, and at adjournment the resolu-
ton went owe as unfinished business.
The resolution merely calls on the
state department to furnish the SEN
ate with the complete text of the
treaty, but as the debate progressed,
discussion shifted to the merits Of the
league and treaty themselves. A dozen
senators, including leaders on both
sides, were drawn into the discussion
and sharp exchanges presaged the bit
terness of the fight that is to come.
Opponents of the treaty in its pres
ent form lined UP. generally for the
resolution and those supporting the
treaty draft led the opposition. There
was no attempt to reach a vote and
some senators predicted 1t would be
several days before the preliminary
skirmish would come to a decision.
johnson Starts Dekate
Senator Johnson of California, Re-
publican, author of the resolution,
started the debate, charging that the
treaty supporters had Something to
conceal" This drew an indignant re-
ply from Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska, ranking Democrat of the For
eign Relations committee, who de-
clared the President was following
well-established precedent in keeping
the treaty text in confidence and that
for the senate to request him to do
otherwise would be a gross breach of
international proprieties."
Republican Leader Lodge, prospec.
tive chairman Of the Foreign Relations
committee, replied to MI. Hitchcock,
declaring there was no Improperly In
the resolution unless it were improper
to "call attention to the new method
of open covenants openly arrived
Every shopkeeper in Germany, he
said, was reading the treaty as made
public at Berlin, yet the senate was
provided only with a worthless Of
fetal abstract.
Senator Johnson said the treaty had
been made public in Germany, and,
turning to the Democratic side Of the
chamber, declared the only reason for
not giving it out here sis that you've
to conceal"
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Ne
braska, retiring chairman of the For
eign Relations committee, said the
resolution violated senate procedure
and urged that it be referred to COM
mittee. He declared that never before
had the senate asked for a treay be-
