SENATOR NORRIS ATTACKED
 THE SHANTUNG SETTLEMENT

| Washington Oct. 10.-All of the time set aside by the senate today for con Sideration of the peace treaty was taken up by Senator Norris, republi- ean Nebraska, with three hour at tack on the Shantung settlement. and half an hours reading of the printed text

 by suggesting that the senate shift to the reading. Senator Norris will also may speak and the senate will
 meet an hour earlier than usual in the hope of speeding up the treaty consideration.
 The agreement for eleven o'clock opening was taken to indicate that the senate will begin next week to put in a longer working day with the hope of clearing away the big speechmak- ing programme. At the suggestion Of Senator Lodge, the senate also adopt up the Shantung amendments We'd nesday, but this does not mean that they will be considered under the i've minute debating rule then or that vote is any nearer than it was yes terday. Senators explained that this procedure would enable the body to revert to the section embracing the Shantung provision, as the reading by
 V But if senators want to keep on speaking that day and thereafter they will have that right.
 Senator Norris, speaking extempo- raneously, which is quite different from the plan followed by most of his colleagues, was particularly severe in denouncing the award of Shantung to Japan. There was no hope, he de- clared, of seeing that province back under the Chinese flag. once it was taken over by Japan under the peace conference settlement, which he characterized as the outrage of the age. He charged that the American people had been coerced in some cases" to subscribe to loans to sup port this government which was lend ing money to Great Britain at 1-2 per cent. while Great Britain was lending it to Persia at ' per cent.
 There was only brief reference to the League of Nations during the morning hour.' the time for filling the Record with documents endorsing and condemning it. Only a few of these documents went in. but some senators have explained that if they undertook to print everything bear ing on the league from people in all parts of the country there would be little room in the Record for anything else
