Sen- Yorlc Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON", May 9. The mem- j
be s of Congress were careful not to |
cernant themselves fully to-day in dis- j
?taping the work of the peace confer- :
iiice
Thcic was a disposition to confine ,
comment., on the peace treaty and the j
proposed alliance between England,
France and the United States to gen?
eralities. Senator Lodge, chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee of
the next Senate, declined to comment. I
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, '
Democrat, retiring chairman of the i
Foreign Relations Committee, gave the I
treaty his complete indorsement and
said he did not believe it would be
possible to divorce the covenant of the j
league of nations from the text of the
treaty and give it separate consider
stiofl. He said:
"In my opinion, the crowning glory
in this great document is the fact that
there is imbedded in iyc the constitu?
tion of the league of nations, which
harmonizes with the purpose of the
treaty and is absolutely essential to
carry out the intent. Repeatedly, in
different parts of the treaty, when a
difficult or doubtful subject is reached,
requiring future adjustment or settle?
ment, the league of nations is named
S3 the agency through which the work
shall be done.
In Favor of the League
"I believe intelligent people will
conclude that the peace settlement
would be practically impossible and :
ineffectual without the league of na?
tions as one of its leading features."
Senator Hitchcock said he could not
discuss the proposed alliance with
France in detail because the terms
have not yet been made public here.
"It seems to me such an alliance
would be necessary only for bridging
purposes until Germany becomes a
member of the league of nations," he
said. "When she once does become a
member the whole force of the world
would be against her if she attempted
to attack France."
Touching the possibility of sepa?
rating the covenant /rom the treaty the
Senator said: "I do not believe it is
po'ssible to separate the covenant and
the treaty. They arc so intertwined as
to make them inextricable."
Senator Smoot, Utah, Republican, re?
garding the proposed alliance, said:
"I know there is a strong sentiment
in the Senate to do anything we possi?
bly can to aid France. Of course, we
do not know the terms of the proposed
alliance, and I dcTnot know how far the
Senate would be willing to go in such
a matter."
Senator Borah, of"Idaho, said:
"1 am not in favor of any treaty or
alliance with France or any other for?
eign power, obligating ourselves in any
way concerning future wars in Europe.
Whether \vi ? hall take any part in any
futuro wars in Europe is a matter
which should he determined upon the
facts when and as they arrive, and by
the particular generation which must
bear the brunt of the war. I shall not
support any treaty or any alliance
which binds future generations con?
cerning the matter of war with any

European power. I am opposed to th
whole scheme, and policy upon prin
ciple."
Senator Wadsworth, of New Toil
said:
"Although t have not been able t
examine all the provisions of the sum
mary carefully the conditions impose'
upon Germany seem to be reasonabl
adequate. The territorial, naval an
military terms would appear to be ade
quate to prevent her from repeatin;
her crimes of 1914 and subsequen
atrocities."
?Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, o
Oregon, said:
"We seem to have di-awn the teetl
and claws of Germany pretty effec
tively, and with that I am in thorougl
accord, but I do not wish to express i
general opinion of the treaty of peac?
until I have seen it all."
Senator Henderson, of Nevada, Dem
ocrat. said:
"The heavy conditions imposed upoi
Germany seem to be adequate. No oiv
would have been satisfied if they ha<
not been heavy."
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, Repub
lican, said:
"One thing that I like particular!;
about the treaty of peace is the dis
armament proposition. However, m.
own idea is that the treaty should havi
gone still further in reducing Ger
many's armament. Germany shoulc
not be allowed an army of 100.000 mer
and her navy is too big. It will fol
low, of course, that the size of Ger
many's army and navy will affect the
size of the military and naval organi/.a
? ?.?is of the world. I favor as complet?
. ..-armament as possible."
?'! ?.in greatiy pleased with the pro
?....on in the treaty establishing a tri
i'unal which shall try the Kaiser and
military advisers ami soldiers foi
their crimes."
Senator Sherman, Illinois, Republi?
can, said:
"Unquestionably the league of na?
tions creates a super-government. No
power on earth can make me vote to
submit to any allegiance other than 1
owe to the United States. This may be
revolution, but here is one old man,
sixty years old, from the Middle West,
who is ready to shoulder a gun and
tight against it. Under this super
sovereignty the United States will lind
itself bound hand and foot."
Senator Sherman said he did not
wish at present to commit himself on
the proposed defensive alliance with
France. "The proposed alliance has
not been submitted to us," said he,
"but I can foresee if our own peace
were threatened how we might be glad
to have such an alliance."
"The. terms of peace," said Senator
Sherman, "are sufficiently drastic to
serve as a remedy for the militaristic
spirit of Germany. I hope the treaty
will be carried out in Its letter and
spirit."
Senator Moses, of New Hampshire,
said:
"I am satisfied that the country is
for a league of nations, but 1 am skep?
tical whether it is for this particular
league. Certainly if the league pro?
vided for in the treaty is to be set up,
its constitution should be amended.
"There are three questions im?
mediately occurring to me as likely to
be brought before the council, namely:
1 Our immigration policy, restrictions
' as to the coastwise trade and the tariff.
"The drastic terms of territorial re?
ductions and lessen of naval and mili
| tary armament seem to have some ele
! ments of justice.''
Senator Curtis, of Kansas, Republi
j can whip, in commenting on the pro
; posed alliance, said:
"The President, the Senate, or the
: House, or no one of them, jointly or
? alone, can pledge a future Congress.
', The United States, has always been
I ready to do its full part to. preserve
; peace, and it can be depended upon in
I the future as in the past. Its record is
evidence of its willingness to do every
: thing necessary to protect civilisation
| from militarism. The very fact that the
' President asked for this is evidence
! that his league of nations is not what
] he pretends it to be."
Recognition of
Omsk Government
Will Precede Loan
; $20,000,000 Needed by
Siberian Railroad and Of
i fleials Wait on Action
by Paris Conference
WASHINGTON, May 8. Urgent need
of $20,000.000 for immediate use on the
Siberian Railroad may lead to earlier
recognition of the Omsk government
j than had been planned by the repr%
| sentatives of the associated govern?
ments in Paris, it was learned to-day
j from an authoritative source.
Efforts by representatives of the
i State Department to obtain the needed
1 funds before recognition has been ac
: corded the government have failed, it
: is said, and the American representa
i tives in Paris have been notified that
; recognition would have to precede the
j loan.
Money Needed at Once
The American representatives have
I been insistent in cable dispatches to
; officials here that the money be forth
i coming at once, as the need is impera
! tive. The suggestion that the Kolchak
j government be recognized immediate
! ly as the government of all non
' Bolshevik Russia has led to the ex
? planation that such action would com
j pel reopening the entire Russian ques
I tion in Paris, which is something to
: be avoided.
The prevailing belief, it was said
to-day, is that the early recognotion
will be forthcoming in order that the
' loan may be negotiated.
Russian Forces Joined
It was learned also that the liaison
between the Omsk government and the
regions controlled by the Cossacks of
! the Don and at Orenburg, G?nerai
? Denekine and the Archangel govern?
ment, has been completed and'the

LONDON, May 8.?Afghan tribesmen
have crossed the Afghan border with
the assistance of Afghan regular
troops and. have occupied certain posi?
tions on the Indian side of the border,
according to a dispatch from the
Indian Foreign Office.
?Military precautions have been taken
by the British, who have addressed a
vigorous note to the Amir.
It has been reported for some time
that the new Amir had adopted an
unfriendly attitude toward the British,
and contemplated a violation of the
northwest fconticr and Khyber Pass,
the principal northern pass into that
country from India.
No large numbers of tribesmen are
concerned, but they have occupied

COPENHAGEN, May 8.?The Hun- ?
garian Communist government has re- '
fused the armistice terms offered by
Rumania and has decided to fight to
the utmost, a dispatch from Budapest
says.
In reply to the Hungarian request
for an armistice, the Rumanian gov- !
eminent demanded the disarmament
of the forces fighting against Rumania :
and her allies in the present operation,
the surrender of war material and the
return of prisoners and hostages,;
without reciprocity. It was added that '
until the terms were fulfilled Rumania
would occupy the right bank of the
Theiss River to a depth of twelve
miles.
ZURICH, May 8.?In commenting
on the report that the Hungarian Com- !
munist government had fallen, the |
"Frankfort Zeitung" says:
"We are no partisans of Bolshevism, ;
but we look upon the fall of the Bud
apest Soviet government as a great
misfortune. The speedy fall of this
government is for the Allies the occa?
sion of a new triumph, and our opin?
ion is that, now that their minds are
made easy on this point, the imperial?
ist statesmen of the Entente will exact
complete fulfillment of their wills by
the peace terms.*'
Russian Bolsheviki Claim
Alliance With Hungary
HARBIN, May 2 (By The Associated
Press).?A Bolshevik proclamation,
which was printed secretly, was dis?
tributed in Harbin May Day. It makes
a wild attack on the "Imperialist Al?
lies" and claims that a reign of terror
exists in Siberia and that the railroads
and natural resources are in the hands
of foreigners. ?
The proclamation adds that the Rus?
sian Soviet government has been
j strengthened by alliance with Hungary
! and by the fact that the Allies had
; been driven from Odessa.

joint action by the United States and
Great Britain.
The announcement of the proposed
joint action by those two countries has
the effect of harmonizing the views of
M. Clemenceau and Marshal Foch on
the adequacy of French security
against Germany.
Several plans for joint military
actiom-4y/ the United States, Great
Britain and France were considered
before the present proposal? was adopt?
ed. The first plan was to secure joint
action under the covenant of the league
of nations, which provides that the
league's council will determine what
military and naval action should be
taken against states breaking the
covenant.
League Couldn't Act
It was believed that the council,
under this authority, could decide upon
joint action by the United States, Great
and France as an appropriate form of
defence against any resumption of war?
fare on the part of Germany.
This plan was abandoned for the
present engagement, which is in the
form of a letter to be submitted to the
United States Senate and the British
Parliament.
it is understood that the letter re?
quires approval by the United State's
Senate in order to make the pledge
effective, and if this approval is given
by resolution or otherwise, the en?
gagement would then be submitted foi
