In the opinion of Senator Borah of Idaho. Borah launched an attack on the treaties when their consideration was begun In the Senate yesterday. He condemned the treaty of Versailles and the reparations commission. in which he said America would become entangled under the treaties. I A Surrender ef Policies. 1 "I believe ratification of this ! treaty is a surrexider of the tral ditlonal policies of this govern ment and will Involve us intermlnr ably In the affairs of Europe." said , Borah. "The second step, which is inevitable, will involve us in all t the affairs of Europe, economic, r political and financial, and will 1 force us into all the things we were . snpposed to have escaped when we escaped the league of nations." Borah condemned the Versailles . treaty as Imperialistic, built on 1 force and designed to exploit and f subject peoples. It is even more . objectionable, he said, than the League of nations, and should In no way be recognized. r Rapp* Commission. c He said he could not consent to s a treaty which would enable this . country to participate on the repar,t ations commission If the treaty ? was ratified, Borah said, he was i certain an effort would be made s for participation on the commission, 1 which meant entanglement in Eui ropean affairs for generations, and ^ meant that America must bf a party u to enforcing oppressive decisions. The commission. Borah argued, ic y an autocratic government super_ imposed over the central empires, , possessing power to dominate th p! existence of millions of persons. He . j predicted that the German people I would before long refuse to abide by its decisions. In discussing the Versatile? II treaty, Korah declared there could e be no disarmament sr>d no world t recovery so long as it remained in e existence. lK S.iy? It Causes 1 irmoll. "The treaty hovers ?i!;e a storm e cloud on the horizon, said >tor;?h. . "There can be no recovery so lon? e as it exists. We surrender every e it-net of American faith if we recoge n5z^? it. It has produced tivmoi e everywhere. It is my opinion dis' armament on land is an impossibility So long as the Versaiilei treaty exists.

[ Settles Peace and Claims. 8 Lodge declared that the treat} e reserves "certain rights under cer tain clauses of the treaty of Ver^ sailles for the United States, if th< r United States chooses to asset1' ^Ithese rights. e I "In other words." he said. "w? h have the assent of one party to th< r treaty of Versailles to our claimini ^ those rights and advantages if w< s see fit, and that is all we get. or al that Germany could give under thli treaty." ?
