clear, unmistakable exposition Of sound
Republican doctrine"
Senator Norris expressed his APP
prevail AZ follows:
at gave mo great pleasure to vel
come the President to the fold Of the
irreconcilables and to hear him enun
ciate Enthusiastically his purpose of hav-
ing nothing to do with the League of
Nations"
Senator Hiram Johnson, of Cali
fornia said:
1.-TWO great policies are enumerated
to-day by the President. First, Amer
Washington Of no entangling alliance
ia again in clarion tones proclaimed.
Secondly, an immediate declaration of
state Of peace notwithstanding the inn
mense amount of propaganda, is to be
made. In these matters the President
has squared his actions with his pre-
election words and has followed the
mandate of the American people ex-
pressed in the election"
Senator Mccormick: "An admirable
message"
Senator Pomerene, Democrat. Ohio:
ri am glad to hear the President is in
terested in tho merchant marine. /
want to see the association of nations
plan before commenting on it,"
Common Purpose and Common Sense
Senator Frelinghuysen, Republican,
of New Jersey: Common purpose,
common sense and common Justice"
Senator Reed, Democrat: "What the
President said about the league suited
me. don't know what he means by
the rest of it,"
Senator Kellogg: "The message as a
whole is a great document. l think the
President will be able to work out an
association of nations and a peace
program that will be satisfactory to
all"
Senator Moses - The President has
shown, honest man that he is, that he
is going forward to keep the pledges he
made during the campaign. He pro-
nounced a fitting bencdiction over the
dead body of the league. He set the
feet of the country in the path of peace
by recommending the naked Knox reso
luton.
Senator Penrose-It had the true ring
of sound Americanism and Of a res
toraton of common sense in a discus
sion Of public affairs which conveys a
message of great cheer.

is consistent with his attitude IA a
member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee and as Senator. His sugges-
tion that declaration Of policy as to
our attitude toward the recrudescence
of threatening militarism should be
temporarily postponed is entirely
agreeable to me. Such declaration
relates to the future and may we'll be
deferred until there is some stabiliza-
ton of the present confusion"
Borah Is Greatly Gratificd
Senator Borah said:
II regard the message as a definite re-
lection Of the league. After two years
of constant opposition to the league,
stances, naturally, l am greatly graft
fed. The message also approves the
Knox resolution declaring state of
peace with Germany. This is exceed
ingly important and satisfactory 1t is
long step toward opening UP trade
with all nations, a thing that will do
much to restore better conditions in this
country and throughout the world, and
which is indispensable to real peace.
Approved by Senate Committee
Senator New said:
81 am entirely satisfied and pleased
with the Presidents message, espe-
cially his discussion as to our foreign
policy. The President read that portion
of his message to the Republican mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Commit
tee at the White House this morning,
and it had the approval of every one of
us. We had full and frank discussion
with him as to the future course to be
pursued, and our understanding is that
an effort will be made to bring about
acceptance of the Versailles Treaty,
minus the league, with such reserva-
tions as will safeguard our rights and
interests"
Senator Poindexter said:
"The Presidents message was an
able, comprehensive. and sound docu-
ment in it's essential features. AS the
plan for an association of nations still
seems to be in a nebulous state and we
have been presented nothing definite on
which to base an idea of it, cannot
comment at this time"
Senator Kenyons comment was:
"The Presidents statements with re-
spect to our foreign policy undoubtedly
foreshadow the early passage of the
hnOX resolution, the Withdrawal OF our
troops from Europe and ultimately the
formation of some sort of an associa-
ton to preserve the peace of the
world"
Hitchcock Calls It Disappointing
Senator Hitchcock, ranking Democrat
of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said:
"The Presidents message is disap-
pointing to those who believe as | do
on international affairs. We can have
neither revival Of business nor pros
perity, in my opinion, until the people
of Europe become able to buy our great
surplus of agricultural, mining and
manufacturing products. This they
cannot do until, by cooperation and
united action, the nations undertake to
stabilize the social, business and gov
ernmental conditions of the world"
Senator Shoots comment follows:
Sound Republican Doctrine
~ think it was really a remarkable
presentation Of conditions as they ex-
list to-day. His recommendations l APP
prove of in every case"
|. Senator McCumber said:

Labor Leader Threatens
An Insurance Boycott
Woll Contends Strike Policies
Encourage Employers to
Arbitrary Rulings

WASHINGTON, April 12-Organized
labor views with apprehension the
movement on the part of insurance
companies to insure against strikes, and
unless there is legislation to stop the
practice labor will withdraw it's patron
age from private companies and urge
state controlled insurance companies,
Matthew Vol, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, said in
g statement here to-day.
Strike insurance will encourage
strikes" Mr.. Woll declared. "When an
employer is insured against strikes, he
certainly will not be inclined to go far
in making concessions to his employees,
however just their demands may be.
ut would be to the interest of COM
panies selling strike insurance to TO-
ment labor troubles in order to stam-
pede employers into taking out strike
insurance"
