dents recommendation that white
and black commission be named to
study lynching and report a rem

less ridiculous. There was criticism,
too, of his peace program and his
of innumerable measures

Regarding lynching, Senator Ref
lin, of Alabama, and Representative
Crisp, of Georgia, expressed them
selves. "His proposal is absolutely
silly" said Mr.. Crisp, however, |
will read the message carefully be-
fore going more fully into details.
Said Senator Heflin: His sug-
gestion that Congress pass federal
statute for the punishment of lynch
ing is in direct conflict with the
right of the states. Every state in
the union is competent to, and in the
main, does enforce it's criminal laws.
There is only one way under the sun
to prevent lynching, and that is. to
remove the unspeakable crime that

President were very good. His mes

HOW MESSAGE is
VIEWED IN CONGRESS


WASHINGTON, April 13.-Gen-
approval of President Harding's dec
laration in his first message to Con-
gress that the United States could
have no part in the present League
OF Nations and that the state of war
should be ended by Congressional
resolution was expressed by Repub.
Ecan senate leaders, both Of the "il-
reconcilable" and reservations"
groups.
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts
the Republican leader, who led the
long fight for reservations to the
Treaty of Versailles, said he was
extremely pleased" by the message,
which he declared Separates US
from the league and approves pass
age of the Knox resolution"
Senators Johnson of California,
and Borah of Idaho, leaders of the
"irreconcilables," expressed gratifi-
cation that the president had def
nitely rejected the present league
and had declared for restoration of
peace by Congressional action. They
expressed doubt, however, that the
Treaty of Versailles with the league
covenant excluded could be put into
shape for ratification-a possibility
suggested bv Mr.. Harding.
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
the Wilson forces in the senate for
ratification of the treaty and league,
expressed disappointment at the
presidents message. He declared
that bv refusing to enter the league
the United States had refused to
take part in the egort to stabilize the
social, business and governmental
conditions of the world, without
which, he said, there could be Meth
er d revival of business nor prosper
ity.
81 am wondering" Senator Harri-
son, Democrat, Mississippi, said in
a statement, what the thousands of
independent voters, pro-league Re
publicans and Republican leaders
who were assured or insisted that
the best way to have America get
into the League of Nations and have
the Treaty of Versailles ratified was
through the election of Harding as
president, now think"
What the President said about
the league suited me-" was the COM
ment of Senator Reed, of Missouri,
Democratic Treaty ''irreconcila
ble.''
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, said he was pleased to "wel-
come the president to the fold of the
irreconcilables."
Senator Poindexter, Republican,
Washington, said the plan for an as
ISOLATION of nations "still was in a
nebulous state"
Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, a
Republican ''mild reservationist,"
declared the President would "be
able to work out an association of
nations and a peace program that
will be satisfactory to all"
The criticisms of Democrats is
mild but of telling character, new

Democratic opinion that the presi-

recommendations of the president
regarding the passage of innumera-
bic bills carrying Appropriations and
act in accordance with his very first
suggestion, that it retrench and
economiZe."
Democrats found very little salts
faction in the Presidents tone re-
garding the League of Nations. In
that respect, Senator Harrison, of
Mississippi said: 81 wonder how the
statement of the president affects
those independents, pro-league rep
resentatives and leaders who told up
during the campaign that the way to
enter the league, was to elect Hard
ing. That question might be pro-
pounded to Charles E. Hughes, Her
bert Hoover, Charles W. Wicker
man and William H. Taft"
Representative Oliver, of Ala
bama, was sorely disappointed at the
attitude of the president in respect
to the peace program.

he said. "as idle and contradictory,
