Urging adopuon of his resolution
;nkir>g the State Department for the
ful! tcxt of the peace treaty. Senator
J ihnson read :nto the record the oft
quoted titterances of President Wilson
rcgarding "open diplomacy."
"Open covenants openly arrived at,"
continued tho Senator, "are now a bv
word and a joke. Their mention brings
but a cynicnl smile.
"When you remember that Kngland
frankly says her treaties are yet in
existence, her offensive and defensive
alliance with Japan yet controlling.
and then you observo the United States
makinjr some sort of engagetncnt the
knowledge of which for the pre?ent we
are denied, you will have some con
ception of what the league of nations
is intended to do."
Peril ror Monroe Doctrine
The revised covenant, Mr. .lohnson
continued. for from preserving the
Monroe Doctrine. would mean its de
struction. He declared the ' league
would be a partnership between tHe
world's one great "going cohcern" and
bankru'pt nations. and eharged that gov?
ernment propaganda was discrediting
league opponents. By the Paris nego
tiations, he said, the United States has
made many powcrful enemies.
"It is rarc indeed." he asserted,
"that any speech is made in favor of
the league which does not hitterly con
demn Americans who think of their
own country tirst. For the lirst time
in our history the jc.alous guarding of
our own. the love of our traditions and
our institutions, tha passion for our
land and our liberty have bccome venial
sms.
"We have learned in the last two
years a new thing in our national life?
national propaganda. The propaganda.
paid for by the people themselves, has
been devoted to deceiving the people
and to glorifying those who. by a
people's grace. have been raised to high
position. This perverting process has
been one of the powerful agencies for
preventing people from knowing the
possibilities of the league of nations.

Lc-ague's Members "Gorgcd"
Rcct'.lling in cletaii the abuses which
followed the Holy Alliance, the Senator
said it was organized ."or the same de?
clared purposes and in the same
ei .a! and celestial lan?;ua<Te" as the
. ? now proposed. He quoted Arti
<:h X of the league covenant, i:i which
member nations "undertake to rcspect
and preserve as against external
aggression the territorial integrity" of

"The league of nations comes to u:

ihnson continued:

Want Martens
Back in Russia
Will A*k Reeall of Envoy,
Who Inceiises Them by
S p e a k i n s Before the
Right Wiiig at Chieago
The Left Wing of the Socialist party
has opened a campaign for the recall
of L. C. A. K. Martens, the Bolshevik
"ambassa lor" in the I'nitcd Siates. by
the Bolshevik government, it was
stated authoritatively at thi offici of
the Socialist party. 7 East Fifteenth
Street, yesterday. The Left Wing, it
was declarcd, is incensed at Martens's
refusal to give it his approval as
against the Right Wing. l'he result
is that Mr. Martens is being denounccd
by the Left Wingers as a "counte.r
revolutionary" and "bourgeois."
The right against Martens started
when he went to Chicago several days
agp address a meeting under ihc
auspices of the National ixecutivc
Committee, which lead out of the
party last week a number of Left Wing
foreign federations. According to the
information given out at the office of
lh( Socialist party, the Left Wing
called upon Martens not to speak
under the auspices of the. National Ex
'j'.-uVvo Committee, but Martens re
fuood to comply. The Left Wing, it
?v'as declared, fecls t:.at it is the 'rue
representative of Bolshevism in Amer?
ica, and as such should have the offi
cial support of the Bolshevik envoy.
It was sorely disappointed when Mr.
Martens slighted it and went, instcad.
to commune with the "counter revolu?
tionary" National Eexecutive Commit?
tee.
Asked yesterday to comment on the
situation, Martens said:
"1 have nothing to do with any po?
litieal party ;n the 1'nited States and
cannot bc expected to take sides."
Julius Gerbcr, secretary of the So?
cialist party, who returned from Chi
:airo yesterday, said that the party was
determined to get rid of the Left Winc:
and that no compromisc is now pos
sible.
"I told the Left Wing representatives
in Chicago," he said, 'that when they
get throufrh making a noise in the So?
cialist party they could join the Salva
tion Army. . know that would be very
hard on the Salvation Army, but we
really don't care where the;. go. We
don"t want them in our party. As far
as we are concerned they are out of
the party, and they wili stay out. The
Left Wingers are now calling Martens
the Bolshevik representative here a
'counter-rcvolut ionist' because he re
fused to ally himself with them. which
shows thal they are not Bolsheviki but
simply troublc makcrs. They are
nothing. The only thinj; close to theii
heart is to make a lot of noise and get
themselves taiked about and, since we
are a politieal party and have im
portant work on hand, we cannot waste
our time with them."
Workman Slain; Savinjrs

The bodj of Derdish Muhareni, an

The first reprcsentatives of the new

Mr. Buszczynski, a eelebrated agri

possibly months, he hoped to have
Polish consujs in Chicago, New Or

Polish populaticns.
"Pogroms?" repcated the consul gen- j
eral, when asked if he could tHrow any
light on the rcporl that Jews were
being slnughtercd in Poland by the
soldiers.
"I left Poland April 28. There had.
been no pogroms up to then, and none
was expected. I can see no reason for
pogroms in Poland. There is no feel- j

The Committee for the Dcfence of
the Jews in Poland denied yesterday
; he truth of Ignace J. Paderewski's
statement that there ^ad no; been a

since he became Premier of Poland.
The committee asscrted there had been

places where they are alleged to have
occurred, idcntificd some of the victims
by name and asserted that Polish
troops had taken part in some of the
outrages and Polish officiala had re
fused to interfere.
With regard to the killing of :17 Jews
at Pinsk in particular and conditions
in general in Polish occupied territory,
the committee quotcd a statcment by
B. T. Mostowski. Mr. Mostowski is
conViectcd with the Committee on Pub?
lic Information and recently acted as
counsel for the Lithuanian Commis-,

Widow Sues Her
$6,000 "Escort"
Mrs. Katherine H. Pettit
Seeks to Annul L'nusual
(ontraet With Salesman
Mrs. Katherine Howeil Pettit, a
wealthy widow. brought two suits in
the Supreme Court yesterday against
George W. G. Boyce, an automobile
salesman. In one she asks cor dam
ages for Boyce's alleged failure to turn
over to her seven automobiles valued
:.' $12,00", which .Mrs. Pettit says she
placed with him as her agent. In the
other she sesks to set aside an un
usual agreement she alleges she had
with Boj ce.
According to Mrs. Pettit, this con
tract, made in 1916, bound l5oyce to re
fuse a proffered job as automobile salcs
manager at $10,000 a v.-ar and to act
a her s-coit to tlinriers, theatres and
other such social Cunctions a3 she
inight desienate. Aiso, Boyce was to
drivc any of her automobiles and car.'
for and sail any boal belongin;.- to
Mrs. Pettit, and 'perform any serviees
a.- companion as he might bc required."
In return for these services Boyce was
to receive $500 a month from a trust
fund which Mrs. Pettit's husband
established for her in Philadelphia and
which is disbursed by the Gerard Trust
Company.
Mrs. Pett.il aLeges that Boyce uas
failed to live up to thi agreement,
which was for a term of ten years.
One specific instance of his failure was
his refusal to drive her lo Philadelphia
last December. In accordance with the
contract that he was to be reimbursed
for expenses, Boyce put in an expense
biil of $6,428, which Mrs. Pettit wants
to restrain the Gerard Trust Company
from paying.
The plaintiff says that in January,
1018, Boyce vvantcd to compromisc his
claims under the contract for $18,000.
and that he threatened her with vio
lence unless she accreed to compromisc.
Boyce has sued Mrs. Pettit in Phila

45,000 Miles
from One Tire
ona 5-ton Truck
When a solid tire hangs up
such a record on a 5-ton
truck. carrying daily from
5.000 to 10,000 pound loads,
under any and al
;ondt
tions, such an achievement
excites aiike amazement
and envy.
This is exactly what a Gcod
rich De Luxe Truck Tire
did on the 5-ton truck of
Baer Erothers, 438-448
West 37th St., New York.
And the old warrior still
comes up smiling?shying
at the retirement it de
scrves.
De Luxe Tires can do these
things because they have
the material built in them
?the best a half century
of rubber science can pro- |]
duce.
