Before Peace Treaty* with Its Annexed League
of Nations Covenant* is Ratified the Senate
Should Have AH the Facts*
Washington, July 14.—The Repub
llcan Publicity Association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington bead
quarters;
"Before the peace treaty with its
annexed league of nations covenant
is finally disposed of by the senate
the Committee on Foreign Relations
owes it to the country to conduct
hearings, and demonstrate the truth
or falsity of the various stories of
the peace conference that have come
to us from time to time. In spite of
the fact tha'the treaty, and particu
larly the league covenant contained
is fraught with more tremen
dous conseuences to the American
people than any document that has
come befoye them since the adoption
of the Constitution, practically the
only source of Information concern
ipg the negotiations has been the par
tially censored press. The country
knows absolutely nothing of the bar
gains that were made among the
delegates to the peace conference in
order that the stgnaures of all the
nations might be obtained, and no
intimation has been allowed to es
cape as to the authorship of many of
tho most important provisions.
"But, although they have been
denied authoritative Information as
the confernce progressed, the people
have drawn their own conclusions
on certain phases of the treaty and
covenant that should either be sub
stantiated or proved incorrect. That
the Committee can easily do by call
Ing before it the members of the per
sonnel of the American delegation,
and taking their testimony under
oath. By combining their statements
a connected and accurate story of the
procoodlngs can he obtained, and the
people will know at last in what man
ner their liberties have been traf
ticked and bartered. Among other
things it should be demonsrated—
1. Is Mr. Wilson the principal
author of Article X of the league cov
enant by which we would be bound
for all time to prqsérve 'the territor
ial integrity and existing political in
dependence' of all members of the
league? Such an Inference is a nat
ural one inasmuch as the President
used those precise phrases in a speech
in January. 1916, in which he ad
vocated similar guarantees for the
American republics.
2. Why does Mr. Wilson Insist
that the absurd language of Article
XXI protects the Monroe Doctrine,
particularly In view of the fact that
English authorities poslltively assert
that it does.nothing of the kind?
3. Undey what theory was it that
the British Empire has six votes in
the league while the United States
and other nations are allowed but
on® each?
4. Why waa the British Empire I

The Camels are traveling right
along In their race for the pennant
ia the Wyomind-Idaho league, and
although Rock Springs has a pretty
good lead over them at this time,
it is not impossible for the Camels
to overcome this lead.
Since the Camels -knocked the
Jinx Into smithereens several weeks
ago, they ha^e been playing pretty
fast ball, having won 7 out of 8
games. They took the Green River
Brewers down the line on the local
diamond last Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday's game was a rather
ragged and one-aided affair. The
Camels took the lead in the first
inning and held It throughout the
game.
Kllburn occupied the mound for
the Camels and pitched a fine game.
Although the Brewers found him for
ten hits, they succeeded ln getting
only seven men across home plate. #
In their efforts to stop the rush
of the Camels, fhe visitors used two
men on the mound, but the Camels
kept going and when the game ended
the score stood 13 to 7 in their favor.
Following is the Score by innings:
Montpelier —2 0642060 x-13
Green River—1 03600300 -7
Battery—For Montpelier. Kllburn
and Sharp; for Green River. Hull,
HoWell and Zimmer.
* In a hair-raising finish the Camels
4|ook Sunday's game in the last half
of the ninth, when with two men out
end two on bases. Garrison landed
a nice two-bagger which brought in
two runs, giving the Camels the
game by the score of 4 to 3.
Th» game waa aa «getting
00«
given control, In the form of manda
lories, of about four-fifths of the
captured German colonial territory;
this in spite of the fact that the Brit
ish Empire already controlled one
quarter of the total land area of the
whole world?
6. What was the so-called Amer
lean scheme for a league of nations;
in what respect did it differ from t
and why was it discarded in favor
of the British plan?
of 6. Just what were the considéra
tions that induced Mr. Wilson to
agree to urge upon the senate 1 an al
liance guaranteeing protection to
France in the event of another war
with Germany?
7. Ia it not a fact that upon the
rejection of the league of nations by
the United States senate it will be
promptly discarded by the other sig
natory nations, and a separate peace
with Germany proceeded with lmme
diately? >
8. Was there an accurate report
stenographic or otherwise, kept of the
proceedings of the various commis
sions which transacted the real work
of the peace conference? If so is
there any reason whv the senate
should uot be put in possession of a
copy of every such record?
9. What is the true and un
abridged story of the China-Japan
Shantung controversy?
10. Where did Mr. Wilson derive
his authority, either as president of
the United States or as it% .ueace
commissioner, to issue whff amount
ed to an appeal to the Italian people i
to overthrow their government?
11. Why should a portion of thej
Turkish Empire be selected for ad- ]
ministration by the United States aa
mandatory? If this country must bo
a mandatory for any captured terri- (
tory why not select that wh'ch for- 1
merly belonged to the country with;
which we were at war, Germany, and !
which is certainly far more deslr
able than a province peopled by tho
unspeakable Turk? |
"These are but a few of the mys
teries that confront the American
people, which it is their right to
have cleared up before they b'nd ,
themselves under terms that involve
those questions. The power that ;
vitalizes a treaty originates in the w
people. The Individuals who repre- ,fl
sent them in the conference have
behind them no possessions of their '
own with which to negotiate. They
merely draw up a tentative arrange
ment that must be submitted for ap- '
proval or rejection to the people '
through their representatives in the
senate. In order that that action
may be intelligent the senate and the
public should have in their possession i
all the data that was available to the
negotiators themselves. It is within
the power of the Foreign Relations ®
I Committee to get it." !

from the time the first ball was in
thrown until the spectacular ending,
Kllburn again tossed the sphere
for the Camels and pitched better

imported twlrler from Kansas City,
for eight hits. Both pitchers were

Washington, D. C., July H.—Sen

is something more Than a national
figure now He is today Just as
much an international figure as:
David Lloyd Georg# or Georges Cl*m

*<*y» W U1 b® watched around the
world with much keener intnnat
than anything thaï may drop from
the lips of either the British or
French premier.
The fate of the peace treaty, and
particularly the league of nations,
depends largely on what the United
ytaea senate does, and Hcnator Borah '
lias become recognized throughout
the world as the real leader of the
ippnsitlon. Tho prominence ho has
attained in the fight to date Is noth- •*
n g as compared to the const» cuous
part he will play in the deliberations
of the next few weeks. j
He kept the fight going against 's
the league when others Inrl'ned to
oppose It wer« mtld in their declsra
tions. and he is now rightfully and
logically the apokeamnn of the oppo
sition Every day his office la del
,„!d by an army of newspaper men ,«
that looks much like the crowd that
thronged the White House on con
ference days during the short period
of pitiless publicity,

the speeches that the Idaho senator
has delivered during this fight will
he quoted throughout the rensorles
