Of the Foreign Relations Committee,

the opening of the second day Of de-

The Presidents letter follows:

PENDULUM SWINGS

TO WILSON POLICY
Borah Now Advocating
What Former President Did
Three Years Ago.
By David Lawrence.
Especial Correspondent of The Eve

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S Copy
right. The pendulum swings
strangely back! Who shall conduct
the foreign policy Of. the United
States Government-the Senate or tn .
President? 1t was only a little over
three years ago, when the Chief
Executive was in the midst OF nego-
tintiora with foreign Governments,
'tnat sthe famous round-robin was
signed by Republican Senators warn
ing Woodrow Wilson that the Yer
sailles Treaty wouldn't be ratified.
To-day Senator Lodge, leader in the
round-robin episode, is pleading with
Senator Borah OF Idaho, another Re-
publican, TO let the President alone. to
refrain from embarrassing him with
resolutions that might be premature or
might seem even remotely to commit
him to course of action which he
might find it advantageous to America
to postpone.
The explosion in the Senate is not
partisan, though the Democrats are
standing by, deriving considerable
satisfaction out OF the vindication OF
their position OF the last three years
on world affairs. II is a Fundamental
quarrel between two schools OF
thought in the Republican Party. The
outbreak was inevitable. II has been
coming on for three years and is just
now reaching its climax.
The fight fsn't between those who
believe In international cooperation
and those who favor a policy of isola-
tion for America. That lineup has
been moro or less broken up in the
present fight over Mr.. Borah's reso-
luton requesting the President to cal
an economic conference
Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor-
MIA says that what Mr.. Borah is ad-
vocating to-day is exactly the line OF
argument taken by Mr.. Wilson. Sc
do others who see in Mr.. Borah'f
speech a change of front. But, after
ALL even Mr.. Borah himself admits
that the whole problem is not whether
an economic conference should bt
| called to consider armament and rep.
