CENATOR LODGE opened the
~ weeks proceedings in the upper
house by delivering a carefully pre-
pared speech in defense of the admin
istration's policy Of refusing recogni-
ton to the soviet government of Rus
STA. He presented a great volume Of
evidence and documents to uphold the
assertion that the Moscow government
directly or indirectly, is making efforts
to cause disorder and dissension among
the American people, and gave what
seemed to be real proof of the state
ment that the Communist information
ale and the soviet government are in
extricably interviewer and controlled
by the same men.
Senator Borah, who has introduced
a resolution for Russian recognition,
said the proof submitted by Mr.. Lodge
would not stand a test In any court,
and that even If it were true it would
be easier to deal with the alleged con-
ditions if diplomatic relations were re-
stored.
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, with the
brashness sometimes exhibited by those
not yet experienced in large affairs of
state, declared the reasons for non
recognition given by the administra-
ton spokesman were ''the most ridic-
uIous 1 ever heard from grown up
men,"

Prize Peace Plan, Submitted
to Referendum, Is Target
of League Opponents.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD

EDWARD w. BOK'S prize Of $780,
IL 600 for ''the best practical plan by
which the United States might coop
crate with other nations to prevent
war;" has been awarded to COM
petitor whose name is not yet an
nounced, and the plan is now being
submitted to the people in nation
wide referendum" The reactions of
Americans of various schools of thought
are interesting and sometimes amusing.
Briefly summarized, the plan is:
81. That the United States shall en-
ter the permanent court of interna-
tionaI justice under the conditions
stated by Secretary Hughes and Presi-
dent Harding in February, 1923.
so. That, without becoming a MEM
Der of the League of Nations as at
present constituted, the United States
shall offer to extend its present CO
operation with the league and partici-
pate in the work of the league as a
body of mutual counsel under condi-
tons which:
"(a) Substitute moral force and pub
lie opinion for the military and eco
nomic force originally implied in ar
ticles 10 and IS:
"(b) Safeguard the Monroe doc
trine;
"{c) Accept the fact that the United
States will assume no obligations IN
der the treaty of Versailles except by
act of congress;
"(d) Propose that membership in
the league shall be opened to all ma
tions;
"(e) Provide for the continuing de
Velopment of international law"
Advocates of American membership
In the League of Nations and mild
reservationists," though admitting
there was nothing novel in the scheme,
gave it their hearty approval. The
ss.irreconcilables" and all those who be-
Ieve the United States should stand
aloof from the tangled affairs Of Eu
rope naturally denounced the plan as
merely an argument for entering the
league. They asserted that the jury of
award was packed and that the whole
affair was a conspiracy. The concern
exhibited by some of the members of
the senate was almost ridiculous. They
professed to believe that the contest
was improper propaganda designed to
influence their votes on the pending
question of American membership in
the world court, and called loudly for
a congressional inquiry, The referen-
dunn, which is being conducted mainly
through those newspapers that are
willing to help, is bound to be some
what limited.

every saloon, disorderly- house and
gambling place will be closed and kept

port to Senator Ellison D. Smith of
South Carolina, the Democratic can
didate, and so Mr.. Smith was elected.
On the decisive ballot the vote stood !:
Smith. SO; Cummins, %; Couzens, 6.
The only Democrat out of line was
Bruce of Maryland who, as once be-
fore, voted for Cummins. Senator
Smith was chairman of this committee
for a time in 1919. He was opposed
to the Esch-Cummins transportation
law; but is not classed as radical.
d IGHT here it is as well to record
IN the fact that the Supreme court
has just upheld one of the important
provisions of the transportation act
that one requiring railroads to divide
with the government their excess earn
ings above the 5.75 per cent fixed by
the interstate commerce commission
as a reasonable return on their valua-
ton.
The decision said that by the recap
ture. clauses congress is enabled to
maintain uniform rates for all shippers
and yet keep the net returns of rail
ways, whether strong or weak, to the
varying percentages which are fair for
them" These clauses, it was held, do
not appropriate property in violation
Of constitutional rights, nor do they
invade the rights of states in rate
making.

VKTLLLIAMSON county, Illinois,
w wherein is Herrin, scene of the
mine strike massacre, is offering an
other lovely spectacle to the nation.
Members of the Ku Klux Khan, lead
by federal prohibition officers, have
been making numerous raids on places
where liquor was sold and have made
scores Of arrests, all without notifying
the sheriff or asking his aid. The
citizens who are opposed to both the
Khan and prohibition resented these
acts, and the sheriff protested to fear
the outbreak Of serious hostilities. So
he called on the governor for state
troops, which were sent to Marion, the
county seat. Very likely the soldiers
were needed, for both the Khan and a
rival organization known as the
Knights of the Flaming Circle were in
fighting mood, and nearly every man
in the county seems to have acquired a
gun.
