of Freedom Ridge" was said to be propaganda for the League of Nations and the newspaper syndicate's offer of it to the papers bore an indorsement of the story purporting to be by Presi- dent Wilson.
 He said he had no further evidence
 Senator Pomerene asked if he meant to dignify what you have given this committee as evidence" to which Mir Britten replied that he did, and the Ohio senator asked
 Don't you regard it as a pretty serious matter for a member of Con gress to make a serious charge of that kind against the British government or any other government without hay ing proof to offer to the committee?'
 MERELY A SUGGESTION
 Congressman Britten replied that h. did not make the charge against tho British government. but that it was merely a suggestion based upon his opinion.
 The committee called Miles H. McMil- ian, Chicago manager of the Western Newspaper Union. but he was unable to throw light upon the question of who was financing the free distribution of the story.
 > Senator Reed brought out that the prob able cost of the venture would be from s27,000 to sSO, GOO,
 George White, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, was then put on the stand and testified that William J. Cochran, publicity director of the dem- ocratic committee, had proposed to hum that the committee distribute the story through the newspapers
 MT. White said he favored the project if the cost was not too great, but never approved MT. Cochrans plans.
 You don't know who arranged for it. and who is paying for it?" Chairman Kenyon asked.
 Senator Edge asked MT. White if the plan would not violate the corrupt prac- tices act and MT White replied: Well, would want to take that up with an at torney. I very frankly haven't thought of it and I will take that under consid- eration."
 Mir. White. 1t was announced, will be summoned to the stand again tomorrow to give full account of the democratic committees affairs. He probably will be followed by William Marsh, treasurer ot the democratic national committee,
