The Filer Record Published Weekly j for Filer An Independent Newspaper NUMBER 13. FILER. IDAHO. JUNE 12. 1919. VOLUME I. OPENS FIGHT UPON LEAGUE OF NATIONS r OPPOSITION RESOLUTION SENTEO BY SENATOR FROM PENNSYLVANIA. PRE - Declares for Immediate Conclusion of Treaty Dealing With Direct Issues of War Only, Without Adoption of League of Nations Plan. Washing! the league » more direct l»sue on June 10, with the introduction of it resolution by -Senator Knox, Republican, of Pennsyl vania, proposing that the senate give formal notice to the jtcace conference ,«.f opposition to he ez|iected should the pence treaty he submitted for rati fication iii It» present form. Senutor Knox, a member of the for eign relations committee and a former secretary of state, drafted the reso lution ufter conference with other league op|HUients ami presented it with the apparent support of those who have led in criticism of the league covenant. He expected to crystal!*« opposition sentiment as did Senator Iiodgc with the circulation of the round roldilti in the closing hours of the last senate. While declaring for immediate con clusion of a treaty dealing with direct issues of the war only, the resolution contains u fur-reaching proposal which would lav it down as a policy of the American government that whenever the fri-edom anti peace of Europe Is threatened, the l'illted States'will con sider it obligatory to again co-operate in the removal of that menace. Decision as to acceptance of mern hership In the league of nations should be left wit!lout prejudice to each na tion, the resolution declares, for future separate consideration. It ulso asserts that the lack of authority by the treaty-making power of the govern ment to make a treaty which In effect amends the American constitution. The restH ution Is sure to open a new chapter in the league of nations fight and to develop n dehnte which may be even more lutter than that over pub lication of the treaty text. emit« fight over ;«n—The nf nations was brought to STRIKERS BEAT WAR HERO.

Text of Document Brought to This Country by Reporter Ordered Into the Congressional Record After a Warm Debate. out of a whirlwind of Washington developments the senate today got a developments the senate on June S* got a copy of the peace treaty ; and, after a five-hour fight, ordered it printed in the public record. At the saute time it got under way the investigation of how copies have reached private hands In New York by summoning to testify a half-dozen < the country's leuding financiers. The copy, which went into the rec- : ord. was brought to this country by a newspaper man. aud »as presented by ' Senutor Boruh. Republican, of Idaho, Just after the reading of a cablegram from President Wilson saying he could not. without breaking faith, send to. the senate the text of the treaty. The effect of the day's history-mak- ) d lug developments was to i-lear the air on the much-debuted subject of pub licity for the treaty text, to widen the breach between the president and the senate majority, and to forecast a sen- I satiotial turn for the liiipilry Into the manner by which copies of the doeu ment have become available to unau thorized persons. Starting In its Investigation with an unexpected vigor, the foreign relations committee, within a half hour after it convened, voted to cull before It J. P. ,, Morgan, H. P. Davison and Thomas h. Lamont. all of tlie Morgan hanking house ; Jacob Schiff, of Kuhn. Isieli A j company : and Paul Warburg, formerly connected with the same concern, and Frank A. Vanderllp. former president of the National City bank. It then ex amined Frank L. Polk, acting secretary j of slate, about the official copie» In the J stale department vaults. Statements also were mmle to the committee by Senator Ixxtge. Republi can. of Massachusetts, and Borah similar t the senate that they knew of copies in New York, hut could not divulge the j Senator ttieir declarations in uanitm of th**lr Informant*. ! When the senate met It listened ln j «Hence to President Wilson s cable gram, which was taken as forecasting u refusal to comply with the request for the treaty text embodied In n re««» lution adopted Friday. The reading of this message concluded. Senator Borah Immediately presented hl« copy of the treaty, which was ordered printed by a vote of 47 to 24. President Wilson In a cablegram re reived by Sennbir Hitchcock of Ne braska. Democrat, sabl lie hop«*«l the Investigation by the senate foreign re latlons committee of how copies of the peace treaty reache<l private Interests In New York would be "most thorough 1, prosecuted." - The president said he had felt It "was highly undesirable officially to I cmnniunlcule ihe text of a document j which Is still In negotiation ami sub Ject to change." and that anyone who hml iiossesslon of the official Kngllsli | text "has what he Is clearly not en-. titled to have or to communicate."
