mittec was largely devoted to exam
inaton of Edward F. Goltra, Demo-
cratic National Committeeman from
Missouri, in connection with rumors
that he had paid the expenses of dele
gates to the Democratic State Conven-
tion at Joplin, Mo, and the National
Convention at San Francisco.
Mr.. Goltra told of donating S4,198
and raising 81 from friends to defray
part of the expenses of special train
to the state convention. The money
was paid to twenty~eight members of
the st. Louis Democratic committee in
checks for $3.50 each. ne said. He ex-
planned that he asked two friends for
81 each so that he could tell the Demo
cratic committeeman that the fund had
been "raised" among local Democrats
and that they would not feel under
obligations to him.
A large part Of Mr.. Goltra's examina-
tion was devoted to his activity as at
torney for the Hostetter Bitters Com
pany, of Pittsburgh, in having the gov
ernment remit taxes and penalties of
$4,000 assessed for filing false tax
returns. Mrs. Hostetter IS Goltra's
sister.

ing for the irons when hostilities
ceased"
A voice from the gallery called for
some remarks about the "billion-dollar
bonfire" but the Senator said he would
talk about that some other time.
This is an interesting example of
waste and mismanagement," said the
speaker ut is shown again in the
manner in which the present Admins
tration has dealt with the vast stores
of foodstuffs which had been pur-
chased by the American people for our
soldiers. When the war ended we had
in France S1,390000,O00 worth of all
sorts of foodstutfs. Secretary Baker
sold this entire stock to the French
government for $400,0000O0 on long
term credit. Now we are told that in
order to assist France in meeting her
payment Of $250,000,00O, due us in the
near future, large part Of these food
supplies are to be resold by France
to the people of the United States
through agents in Chicago. In other
words, after turning over to France
these huge supplies at less than one
third of what they cost, we are now
furnishing the market in which France
will sell our own goods back to US.
We all have the greatest sympathy
for France and are anxious to aid her
in every way, but we want to do it in
the right way-openly and fairly.
Huge Food Supplies Hoarded
"When the armistice was signed
huge stores of foodstutfs Of all de-
scriptions were being held by the War
Department at various places through
out the United States. General March
advised that these stores be disposed
of, but it was not until May, 1919, tha,
a surplus was declared, and even then
the Secretary of War would not re
lease these stores to be ssold to the
people. l mention these things to give

Speaking of Senator Harding's plan
tor an association of nations, Senator
Lodge expressed his belief that it was
L better project for preserving the
reace of the world than the League of
Nations even with the reservations. He
said the league is too uncertain and
vague and that it does not contain a
single paragraph that is not subject
to several interpretations Every i'm
portant sentence, he declared, is sub
ject to dispute
Democrat recently told him that in
this election the Republican party was
to be called upon for the third time in
its history to save the country The
first time he said it was the Civil
War, the second the Bryan 16 to |
platform and the third the League of
Nations.
1--WE who have opposed the league"
said Senator Lodge, "have been called
selfish little AMERICANS who want to
be isolated. We do not want to be
selfish, and we do want to do our part
m keeping the world at peace; but we
must remember America first when we
are making arrangcmcnts with foreign
nations. Governor Cox apparently sees
no distinction between America for
Americans and America for foreigners.
If America is not first in Mr.. Cox's

Attorney for Senate Com
mittce in Unauthorized
Deals With Other Nations
Political Affairs Aired
Confidential Letters of Taft,
Wickersham, Warburg, as
Well as Others, Shown

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 18-Scores of con-
League to Enforce Peace, of which
William Howard Taft is president,
were introduced into the record of
the Senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures here to-day.
Names of prominent New York bankers
were mentioned in the CORES spondence.
Dom H. Hunt attorney for the COM
mittee, who investigated the activities
of the league, reported that "n my
estimation" officials Of the league have
violated the Logan act, passed Janu-
airy 80, 1893, which prohibits American
citizens carrying on negotiations with
foreign governments or their agents
regarding disputes or controversies
without the permission Of the United
States
The act carries penalty upon CON
viction of fines of not more than $4,000
and imprisonment of from six months
to three years.
The Senate committee sent Hunt to
New York several days ago to nvesti-
gate the activities of the League to
Enforce Peace.
days in the leagues Offices in that city,
and examined employees and officers of
the organization.
His report, vo1uminous document,
embracing copies of all letters which
he thought had bearing on the cam
paign expenditures investigation, was
pres sented to day
The Senate committee met to-day to
complete its investigation of the pre-
convention campaign in Missouri, and
adjourned to meet again some time
after the election. Before adjourning
kilograms were dispatched to the chair
men Of the Republican and Democratic
national, Senatorial and Congressional
committees directing them to file
complete statements of their receipts,
expenditures and pledges at Chicago
on Thursday. October %. The reports
will be made public at that time.
The report of Mr.. Hunts investiga-
ton of the League to Enforce Peace
proved the sensation of the day
Dozens of confidential letters between
Mr.. Taft, George w. Wickersham,
produced
In his summary Mr.. Hunt says that
Herbert S. Houston testified before the
committee that he had talked with
the German Chancellor; Lord Robert
Cecil and David Lloyd George in
regard to the United States enter
ing the League of Nations and that
Edward A. Filene, of Boston. who
has been abroad on a similar mission,
is now "in Germany on mission to
get Germany into the league"
"The correspondence and data which
follow bear out the charge which am
about to make" MI Hunts report
says, that this organization has
through its officials, by correspondence
and conferences talked with various
officials of foreign governments about

getting this and other countries into
all of which, in my estimation, is in
violation Of the Logan act"
Mr. Hunt also charged that William
H. Short, secretary of the league, took
from the files certain letters between
Mr.. Short and George w. Wickersham,
In which Mr. Short proposed a cam
pagn in the interest Of Governor Cox,
aud Mr.. Wickersham "agreed in part"
Mr., Short refused to give up the let
ters, the report states, on the ground
that they were personal
A letter from Mr. Wickersham to Mr..
Short. dated July 30, 1920 saws:
Thank you, my dear Mr.. Short, for
Arthur Sweetzer's memo. 1t is very
logical and sound How much better
was Governor Cooldge's speech Of ac-
ccptanco than that of Senator Hard
ing"
Other correspondence shows that ex-
President Taft threatened to resign
from the presidency of the league if
II took partisan part in politics and
reiterated his belief that Senator
Harding would be elected and that
the one hope of securing the league
with the Lodge reservations is through
the Republican candidate"
The Hunt report says that the
League to Enforce Peace spent $4,000
to finance a letter sent by Samuel
Gompers to $4,000 local unions asking
the union members to bring pressure
to bear on Senators to have them vote
for the League of Nations
Other items Of expenditure include
bills for publication of advertisements
in forty-four cities throughout the
country and two bills, one of $24,58325
ana the other, $1O,534.22, from the
western Newspaper Union.
The correspondence shows that ex-
President Taft has steadfastly op-
posed any participation of the League
to Enforce Peace in the present polit
lcal campaign. A letter from Mr.. Taft
to Mr.. Short on August 10, 1920. saws:

questions propounded by the League
