DEPARTMENT 70 FURNISH
COMPLETE TEXT.
ACRIMONIOUS, DISCUSSION ON
In Course Of Debate Z Bitter Attack
Was Made by Sherman OF Illinois
on President Wilson's Course.

Washington.-The peace treaty with
It's league Of nations covenant was
debated for three hours In the senate,
and at adjournment the resolution
which furnished the vehicle for the
discussion went over 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 doz-
en- senators, including the leaders on
both sides, were drawn into the dis
cussion and sharp exchanges presaged
the bitterness Of the fight that is to
come when the treaty actually comes
up for ratification.
Senator johnson Of California, au.
thor Of the resolution. started the de-
bate with a short speech charging
that the treaty supporters had some
thing to conceal"
This assertion drew an indignant
reply from Senator Hitchcock, Of Ne
braska, ranking Democrat Of the for
eign relations committee, who de-
clared the President was following
we'll 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."
In the course Of the debate bitter
attack on the league covenant and on
President Wilson's course in the peace
conference was made by Senator Sher.
man Of Illinois, who earlier in the day
had presented resolution declaring
II the sense Of the senate that the
treaty and the covenant should be con.
sidered separately.
