White.said the only. example of “sin- ister influence” backing the Republican party of which he knew personally was the Republican year book being pub- lished by ‘William Barnes. Discussion uf the Barnes book disclosed that pho- tographic copies of pledges of ‘moral and financial” support to the ‘book, signed by prominent eastern men, in- cluding the Rockefellers, had disap- peared from the records, in which they were introduced Monday. A heated clash between Senators Reed and Ken-} yon followed when Reed insisted on an investigation of the @isappearance of the papers. { “Do you think that the’ Barnes book is a more sinister influence than the circulation through country newspa- pers of propaganda favoring the League of Nations, such as this story, | ‘Uncle Sam of Freedom Bridge,’ and having {t paid for by a particular polit- feal party and having the man who reads it not know that it is political, propaganda?” Kenyon asked, ie don't apologize for wanting to cir- culate that story,” White rejoined. The | editdr of the paper is responsible if he | uses it, He isn’t paid to print. it.” INTERFERENCE WITH COX SCHEDULE THREATENED. Senator Kenyon asked Mr. White if} he did not consider jt the “duty of. men who have this evidence, if it ex- ists, to give it to us, whether they are presidential candidates or not.. When the witness did not reply the chairman said he realized’ that the query might be embarrassing and would not press it out of respect to Mr. White's rela- tiens..with Governor Cox. Senator Kenyon read to the witness telegrams from Governor Cox to, the committee and to Senator Reed, a mem- ber promising to furnish the investiga- tors with information. The latter mes-! sage told the Missouri senator that the candidate would “get some matters in- to your hands soon.” ; | When pressed by his questioners, Mr. White said he was willing to abide hy | the judgment of Governor Cox as to: when the material should be furnished the committee. “But you have a speaking -trip ar- ranged for Governor Cox next week and you would not wish us to inter fere with that,” argued Senator Ken- yon. “In fact we have no désire to inter fere with it.” The committee has jurisdiction over its own affairs," said Mr, White.
