Borah Asserts Taft Has Copy ; Of Peace Pact Root, Polk and Wickersham Also May Be Summoned to Disclo.se How Treaty Reached New York Men Inquiry to Begin To-day House Plans Recess While Senate Struggles With Series of Investigations New York Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, June 8.?The Senate Investigation to determine how "special interests" in New York came into the possession of the text of the peace treaty wiU be opened by the Foreign Relations Committee to-morrow. Not since the investigation of the "leak" on the President's note to the Entente and the Central Powers, ask? ing upon what terms they were willing to conclude peace, has there been such general interest in an investigation by Congress. No witnesses will be put on the stand to-morrow. The meeting will de? cide just how the investigation shall be made?by the full Foreign Relations Committee or by a sub-committee, in secret or in public. It is certain the hearings will be open. Senator Lodge and Senator Borah, who made the charges leading to the investigation, will be first witnesses. They are expected only to repeat what they already have said on the floor of the Senate. Both have said they will decline to make known the names of their informants, and there'is no way of compelling them to do so. Borah to Summon Notables Senator Lodge believes the commit? tee will not obtain any definite in? formation. Senator Borah, on the other hand, is known to be anxious to call former Secretary of State Root, Acting Secretary of State Polk, former President Taft and George W. Wicker? sham before the committee. He be? lieves some very definite information on how the treaty got into the hands of New York men can be furnished by some of these men. Senator Borah said to-night he was certain that a copy of the peace treaty is in the possession of former Presi- ! dent Taft. He believes the text of the j treaty was furnished to the former President to assist him in his cam? paign, for adoption of the league of nations covenant. If Mr. Taft is sum? moned, and it is found that he has a copy of the treaty innis possession, Senator Borah said In would make every effort to compel him &> put the treaty in the record of the hearing. A reply is expected this week to the Senate resolution requesting a copy of the treaty from the State Depart? ment, and with it a renewal of Senate discussion. House Plans Vacation The House is planning for a rest 1 through the hot months while the I Senate wrestles with the peace treaty j ? and the league of nations covenant. j Majority Leader Mondell admitted to j day that such a plan was under con ! sideration. He said, however, no def I inite decision a3 to the length of the House's vacation would be made until appropriation bills are out of the way. The Republican steering committee has figured that the appropriation j measures can be sent to the Senate for j its action by June 17. Efforts will J be made to frame the bills in such a way that the Senate will find no items in them to which to object and thus eliminate the necessity for protracted conferences. The prospect is that the House will have cleared up its sched? ule by July 1 at the latest. Many Investigations Pending The present plan is not to take the for? mal adjournment, to which the con? sent, of the Senate would be necessary, but to have a continuous series of ] three-day recesses through July and j August. Several committees of the House will be busy with investiga? tions. The investigations of the VVar Department by a select committee will continue throughout the summer. Chairman Graham said to-day the in? quiry would last at least six months. An investigation of the shipping sit? uation probably will be conducted by the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, and the Ways and Means Committee will be busy with hearings looking to a general tariff re? vision. Each Monday the members of these committees will gather in the House chamber and some one will move an adjournment until the following Thurs? day. On the following Thursday an ad? journment until Monday will be moved. The bars will be up against points of no quorum. Such a point if made would result in summoning all mem ! bers to Washington. It was learned to-day that Speaker Gillett and Chairman Graham had difficulty in selecting exactly the kind of a committee they wanted to do the investigating. Many members declined to Serve.

Great crowds gathered in the streets of Vienna yesterday and outside the quar? ters of the Entente mission. Shouts of protest were raised after a big demon? stration at which the peace terms were denounced, according to a dispatch re? ceived here. The union with Germany was demanded and a resolution passed calling on the Austrian delegates to refuse to sign the peace treaty in its present form. VIENNA, June 8 (By The Associated Press).?The peace terms presented to Austria are impossible and mean the death of the country by starvation; President Seitz declared in bis address opening the extraordinary session of the National Assembly yesterday. The galleries were filled and the floor con? tained a large portion of the members of the assembly, including two women. The session was orderly. Foreign Minister Bauer made a re? port on his conference at Feldkirch with Dr. Kenner, the head of the Austrian delegation. Dr. Bauer, who is not popular either in Vienna or in the country, and who is generally referred to as a Bolshevik, was listened to quietly while he read six pages of manuscript. After declaring that the treaty was a peace of hate, the Foreign Minister re? leased his personal vials of wrath against the Czechs, who, he said, had taken all of Austria's sugar and other industries. The loss of German Bo? hemia to Austria, he added, meant not merely the subjection of 3,500,000 Ger? mans to foreign rule, but the loss of ! the. most valuable parts of German Austria, industrially and culturally. Dr. Bauer said the people of the Tyrol, who love freedom above life, would never submit to the peace terms. J and that they, as did the Germans of ! Bohemia, had the sympathy of all Ger- j mans. He added that several months ago the Austrian government had sub- | mitted to the Italian government the draft of a treaty under which German i South Tyrol would remain with Aus? tria constitutionally and economically, but as a neutral military zoae. French Politics Delays Indemnity Inability of Clemenceau to Hold Control Pre? vents Fixing the Sum New Tork Tribune Special Cable Service (Copyright, 1919, New Tork Tribune Inc.) PARIS, June 8.?According to a high j American authority French hesitation is now the chief factor in the : inability of the Council of Four to decide on a fixed sum for the German indemnity, though Presi? dent Wilson and Lloyd George con? tinue firmly to 3trivc therefor with every prospect of ultimate success. Premier Clemenceau admits that im? mediate benefit would accrut to France by enabling her to secure much-needed credits on the basis of her share of a definite indemnity to come, yet the indications are clear that his govern? ment fears the effect on public opin? ion of the announcement of any sum, however big, because it necessarily will be smaller than the expectations the French people have been encour? aged to hold. A fact much exploited by the grow? ing opposition to Premier Clemenceau's administration is the recent announce? ment of Finance Minister KloU. that 5,0001000,000 francs ($1,000,000,000) of extra taxes will ho necessary this year. Indeed, it -s being made a political'cry Premier Clemenceau's enemies point out that when France was vanquished in 1871 she was forced to pay Germany 6,000,000,000 francs indemnity, while to-day, though France is victorious, the best M. Clemenceau can do fa to tike the same ?urn from French pockatr.. On on? hand the Socialists, striv? ing for the Premier's overthrow, axe endeavoring to excite the strikers? although hitherto unsuccessfully?to action of a purely political nature; while on the other hand Aristide Briand, supported by "Le Matin" in his campaign to obtain M. Clemenceau's place, is losing no opportunity to throw the odium for the "delayed and in? effectual peace" on the "Old Tiger." These oppositions are working sepa? rately, but are mutually complementary, and their existence explains the pain? ful lack of a definite policy of which not only they, but a growing number of other Frenchmen complain. It is contended that the Clemenceau government only vacillates, lacking a financial and economic policy, lacking also a Russian policy, maintaining a show of public confidence by the strict? est application of the censorship and not proceeding with demobilization. (The class of 1911 has been under arms for more than seven years.) Generally, as one critic remarked, the government is "twiddling its thumbs futilely behind closed doors." It is known that Premier Clemenceau intends to resign as soon as peace is made, and it is the general opinion that he intends to ignore criticism and continue h?3 present course until the signing of the treaty, which will be the culminating point of his long political career. This explains the gov? ernment's present hesitation to agree to a fixed indemnity, the knowledge of which might result in a popular outcry which, echoed in the Chamber of Deputies, might snatch the honor of having made peace from Clemenceau's hands at the eleventh hour. Rejection of League Urged to Speed Peace Senator Bourne Fears Delay Because Covenant Changes Would Force Neiv Treaty New York Tribune Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, June 8.?Caring lit? tle for the league, of nations, the Al? lied powers will be quick to repudiate it if the covenant is rejected by the Senate, former Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr., Republican, asserted to? day. He believed the. complete rejec? tion of the league by the Senate was the quickest way to peace. "Friends of the league say the de? feat of the covenant or any amendment to it, or other parts of the treaty, would make necessary a new treaty, requiring the signatures of all the nations that subscribed to the original document,' Mr. Bourne said. "They claim a dead? lock would prevail meanwhile and peace would be impossible until the assent oi the thirty-two states to the new treatj could be obtained. "Of course, so far as the treaty itsell is. concerned, the Allied nations art free to make such terms of peace wit! Germany as each may see fit, unless they are bound by undertakings among themselves not to conclude a separat? peace. The United States, for instance can conclude peace with Germany or any basis she may adopt, quite regard? less of the actions of the Allies or anj one of them. The treaty is only be tween ourselves and the Germans. Covenant Is Complication "The inclusion of the league cove? nant in the treaty presents a compli? cation that involves all of the Allied belligerents. If that covenant is amended it is probably true, as Mr Hitchcock asserts, that before it woulc have any binding force the changes would have to receive the indorsement of the other parties to the undertak? ing. Amendment of the covenant therefore, might be attended with pro? longed delays in the final consumma? tion of peace. But no such difficul? ties are in the way of the defeat oi the undertaking. "The league of nations is the pet personal hobby of Mr. Wilson, and is so regarded by the delegates of th? other powers in Taris. They car? little for it, and will be quick to re? pudiate it once it has been rejected bj the United States Senate. It is sale by those in touch with the situatior in Paris that the defeat of the lengu< by the Senate is anticipated by th( other nations, and that their course o: action in that event is already mappec out. With the peace treaty relievet of the incumbrance of the league i will be a simple natter to achieve peace; In fact, there is not the slight? est doubt that the league's defeat would bring peace to the world months before it would come were the cove? nant to be amended. Not Necessary to Peace "The essentials of the treaty itself have already been determined upon, In his desperate attempt to tie the league and treaty together, Mr. Wilson referred some of the details of the treaty to the league's council for de? termination. But it would be a simple matteT to provide another instrumental? ity for such determination; in fact, it is probable that the changes that the league's defeat would necessitate in the treaty are now reposing in the files of the peace conference, ready for in? sertion the moment the Senate has de? creed the death of the covenant. Each Allied nation, including the United States, could make those alterations at once and present practically identical treaties to Germany for signature, each supported in its demands by all the others. The process is a perfectly simple one, and the reconvening of the peace conference is not required at all." Irish Envoys Threaten To Appeal to France New York Tribune Washington Bureau (Coiwrlcht. 1919, New York Tribuna Inc.) PARIS, June 8.?Frank P. Walsh and Edward F. Dunne, delegates from the Irish societies in America to the peace conference, declared to news? paper correspondents Friday before their conference with Secretary Lan? sing at the Hotel Crillon that if the American delegation refused to aid in having the claims of the Irish republic placed before the conference they would seek such aid from "liberty loving France, who has always beer, the friend of Ireland." If France failed them they proposed to appeal to the delegations of Italy and "other liberty-loving nations," in? cluding the British colonies, especially Canada, which, Mr. Walsh said, was showing an inclination to break away from Great Britain. Ex-Governor Dunne said the British military authorities made belated ef? forts to better conditions in the jail "dungeons" before the arrival in Ire? land of the American delegates, but the delegates had not been fooled thereby. "Anyway," Mr. Walsh put in, "the greatest injustice that can be done an Irishman is the direction of his affairs by monocled Englishmen." Commenting on Mr. Walsh's pro? gramme, one of the American peace delegates gave what probably is the line the American delegation will take namely?that the American delegatior is in Paris to make peace with the Central Powers, which is giving enough trouble without injecting the Irish controversy into the councils. However, whatever the course Presi? dent Wilson may take to steer cleai of the Irish cause, Messrs. Walsh and Dunne are on the rampage. They de? clare they have just begun to fight. ? ? Nation for League, Says Taft Ex-President Reports People Strong for Covenant Former President William H. Taft, who returned yesterday, with Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, from a tour of fifteen states, said that he had found every? where a strong sentiment in favor of the ratification of the league of na? tions covenant. In addition to Dr. Wise, the speakers who made the tour with Mr. Taft included President Low? ell of Harvard, W. 0. Thompson, presi? dent of Ohio University; Herbert A. Houston and Hamilton Holt. In a statement issued through the League to Enforce Peace, after his arrival, Mr. Taft said: "Everywhere we have found a deep determination on the part of Amer? icans to obtain the ratification of the treaty of peace by the United States Senate, and the consequent establish? ment of the league of nations, upon which the treaty rests and in which the treaty is to find sanction and per? petuity."

Special Cable Service (Cot?yrteht, .1919, New York Tribun? Inc) LONDON, June 7.?-Although the masses of Great Britain have grown in? different regarding details of the Paris treaty, there is tension among political leaders because of rumors that Premier | Lloyd George is trying to make eleventh-hour changes in the docu? ment. The rumors started immediately following the Paris meeting last week ! of the chief figure? of the Lloyd George | Cabinet, and they grew rapidly until '? they covered a ?ride range of subjects. It is even reported that Lloyd George is considering giving Germany a man? date in the Southwest African colonies. Denial is made of the report that Ramsay McDonald and Arthur Hender? son are bringing pressure to bear on Premier Lloyd' George to modify the treaty. It also has been denied that there is any friction between the Amer? ican and British delegates. British correspondents in Paris say President Wilson is taking a neutral position, refusing to help or hinder Lloyd George in his efforts to have the treaty modified along the lines which the President urged during the early stages of the conference. They say Mr. Lloyd George is making his own fight, and if he is successful in converting Premier Clemenceau to his viewpoint Mr. Wilson will go over. I understand that Premier Lloyc George is convinced of the necessity qj making concessions to Germany, anc in this belief he is supported both bj British financial interests and by work ing class leaders. The Conservative! desire to inflict the fullest punishmen upon Germany, but fear prolongatioi of the present unstable situation. Under the treaty there is wide lati tude for negotiation of the question o reparations, and this is one of th points upon which Mr. Lloyd Georg is working.
