G. O. P. FIGHTS WILSON

Republican Senators Issue Ulti- . matum on League Plans. Resolution Signed by 37 Members— Demand Peace First, Then World pnion Action. Washington, March 4.—Thirty-seven of the forty-nine Republican members of the senate in the next congress, which will ratify the peace treaty, served notice on the president and the peace conference that they cannot support the league of nations constitution in its present form. A resolution supported by these Republican holdover senators and senator's elect, which was offered in the senate by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, declared that the league constitution, as submitted by President Wilson “should not be accepted by the United States,” and called upon the peace conference to conclude pence at once with the enemy and reserve the peace .league plan for later “careful and serious consideration.” The declaration is virtually an ultimatum to President Wilson on the eve of his departure for Paris to segregate the league of nations consttution from the peace treaty if he desires a prompt ratification of the treaty of peace by the Republican senate of the next congress. The votes of the 37 Republican senators who signed the declaration w’ould be sufficient to prevent ratification of the treaty by the requisite two-thirds majority. When Senator Lodge offered this resolution, Senator Martin, Democratic leader, and Senator Swanson, Democratic member of the foreign relations committee, promptly objected to its consideration, which would have been possible under the rules only by unanimous consent. Senator Lodge replied he realized It would be impossible to obtain consideration of the resolution in the few remaining hours of this congress, but said he desired to state that it had the support of a large number of members of the present and of the next senate.

I have been trying, under the guidance of my secretary, Mr. Tumulty, to do a month’s work in a week, and I am hoping that not all of It has been done badly, but Inasmuch as there Is a necessary pressure upon my time, I know that you will excuse me from taking a part in your conference, much as I should be profited by doing so. ‘‘My pleasant duty Is to bid you a hearty welcome and to express my gratification that so many executives of cities and of states have found the time and the inclination to come together on the very important matter we have to discuss. United States Servant of States. “The primary duty of caring for our people in the intimate matters that we want to discuss here, of course, falls upon the states and upon the municipalities, and the function of the federal government Is to do what It is trying to do in a conference of this sort —draw the executive minds of the country together so that they may profit by each other’s suggestions and plans, and so that we may offer our services to co-ordinate their efforts in any way that they may deem it wise to co-ordinate. In other words, it Is the privilege of the federal governin matters of this sort to be the servants of the executives of the states and municipalities and counties, and we shall perform that duty with the greatest pleasure if you will guide us wltlj your suggestions.” Secretary Wilson presided at the morning session. In opening the conference he urged a program of cooperation between states and municipalities, aided by’the federal government, that would lead toward stabilization of labor.

Previous to the adoption of this resolutiori Secretary Wilson told the conference that the recent strikes nl Seattle, Butte, Lawrence and othei places were not industrial, economic disputes in their origin, but were results of an organized attempt at a social and political movement to es tablish soviet governments in the United States.' “No one,” he Said, “is being deported because of his 'union affiliations and strike activities. It is the duty ol the secretary of labor to deport all who advocate the overthrow of government by force, but no one will be deported because he Is a radical. Ad vocates of overthrowing government by force must be considered an invad ing enemy. When such are found guilty the department will deport them.”
