ESTABLISHED 1 LEWIS APPEARS A3 CHAMPION OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE Ofiers Resolution That Wilson’s Address Does Not Affect Our Previous Stand NO AGGRESSION BY U. §. IN ANY FOREIGN LANDS McCumber Proposes Resolution, Sym- pathizing With Presidents Efforts ! to End War But Protesting Against “Peace Without Victory” and Amer- ica Entering Into World League to Enforce Peace. ] ‘Washington, Jan. 30—Senator Lew- “1s of Illinois, democrat, today intro- duced a resolution which woujd ex- press it to be the sense of the senate that President Wilson’s peace address does not propose abolishment or limi- tation of the Monroe doctrine nor pro- pos military aggresion by the United States in foreign lands. He asked that ‘the resolution lie on the table. The Lewis resolution, designed as a * substitute for Senator Borah’s propos- " al reaffirming the Monroe doctrine . and the advice of Washington Jefferson ‘against foreign alliances, would declare “it is the sense of the senate that the address of the presi- ! dent delivered fo the senate on the twenty-second of January, 1917, does not propose the abolishment or limita- | tion of the Monroe doctrine of Amer- ica, in its effect or application to any part of the western hemisphere, nor does it propose to send the army or navy of the United States or any mil- itary or naval power of the United States to any foreign territory except when necessary to preserve. the peace of the United States or to protect the just rights of America or where the same is assailed.” McOumber's Resolution. Afiother resolution by Senator Mc- “Cumber of North Dakota, which also < was read and laid upon table, de- ‘¢lared that while the senate sympa~- thizes with the president’s effort to secure speedy termination of the war, neyertheless it was unable to agree with the president’s proposal for “a peace without victory’ ’or the specific ‘terms for the United States joining a world tribunal to enforce peace. Senator McCumber’s resolution re- cited that while the senate could not agree with the specific statements of the president’s message, it should de- .clare Atself as standing ready to join with other iworld powers in lending the “‘moral and physical force” of the TUnited States toward preventing an- -other world devastating war. " Fixpects Program to Go Through. Administration leaders in congress today got some encouragement over legislative prospects from President Wilson’s statement after his regular visit to the capitol vesterday that he belieged every important measure in ~ which he is interested will be acted on at this session. The president ex- plained he does not insist on any par- ticular form of railroad strike re- striction bill, but believes some legisla- %in to that end is absolutely necessary. He dlso endorsed Senator Poihdex- ter’s proposal to place all the postmas- ters under civil service. Sentiment of the house on the im- “F¥migration bill vetoed by President Wilson because of the literacy test s provision was being assisted today by *§ts champions in an effort to repass the measure over the president’s head. Cummins Raps Wilson’s Speech. Opening debate in the house today on President Wilson's world peace proposals Senator Cummins, republi- <wan, declared that to do what the president in every moral effort pos- ‘United States either in almost con- *stant world war or constant rebellion ¥ against the authority of world sov- | ereignty the president proposes. ~ Ascerting that he stood with the president in every moral effort pos- sible for him to exert to bring an end to the present war, Senator Cum- mins said he refused to follow when he leads the way towards the world ‘spvereignty which he has proposed. .

Whipple, and | the | the | HIS SIGNAL TO 30.—unexpectedly’ counsel for the leak investigating committee, brought the name of Ambassador Von Bernstorff into his examination of the German official’s friend, Archibald White, the New York financier, he suddenly closed his direct interroga- tion of White today after' obtaining denials from him that he had celved advance information from any German officlal or any of the recent peace movements. Having established the close rela- tion between White and the ambas- sador yesterday and questioned the witness clésely about alleged efforts of Thomas W. Lawson to arrange a meet- ing with Von Bernstorff, Whipple to- day drew an expectant audience to the hearing room. Then with rumors of possible .sensations for the hear- ings incx‘&afl?ifik Whipple asked White less than "half & dozen questions and New York, Jan. re- | turned him over to the committee for further examination. Reading first from testimany previ- ously taken by the committee in Washingtofi, Whipple brought out that details of the peace proposals and President Wilson’s peace note were known in German official quar- ters and Washington before they were made public and asked White if he had recelved any advance in- formation through such channels. ‘White answered negatively. “Have you ever had any accounts in which persons in official life were interested ?”” Whipple asked. *No,” White answered. No “Tip” From Lawson, Representative Campbell then took up the examination. “Did Lawson suggest to you,” asked Campbell, “that the market was top- heavy and that a suggestion of peace would start the market down and that it was a good time to get all your friends into a pool?” “No sir,” said White. Campbell tried to learn specifically what White and Lawson talked about at their various meetings in New York or prior to the time the peace situation was a big factor ifl sto¢k market. All White would say was that they talked in ‘“general terms” about the war and its ‘“eco- nomic effects.” He said he could not recall everything discussed on var- ious specific subjects which the con- gressman suggested to him—the Ger- man peace proposals, the Lloyd | George speech in reply or the arrival of the Deutschland.and the U-53 or President Wilson’s attitude. = “You had advance information on the arrival of the U-53, didn’t you?”" asked Campbell. “I did not. I knew nothing of it until I saw it in the newspapers.” “Do you think,” put in Rep. Chip- erfield, “that your conversation with in romance literature?” “I couldn’t say that, T didn't take his, conversations seriously.’ ¢ After it had been brought out that White’s concern, the Federal Chem- ical company, in which he said he had tried to interest Lawson, manu- factured products used in making munitions, he was excused and Bar- ney Baruch, who sold short heavily before the president’s note became public was called. White was asked to hold himself in readinéss to appear ‘in another \ connection.” Baruch declared voluntarily that he was rTeady to answer any question fully. Baruch on Stand. On December 11, he said, he bought 5,000 shares of steel, expecting it to rise, “but it did not” and he sold the tollowing day at a loss of about four points.

He always bought se- curities outright he said. ‘When he learned of the Bethmann- Hollweg speech, Baruch said, he was in the office of another firm negotia- ting the purchase of some securities. “I did not buy ’em,” he said. “I went back to my own office and be- gan to sell everything I had.” He explained that the technical situation of the market was bad and that he sold steel because ‘it was practically at the top.” | “The technical situation was bad,” he said, “but the Bethmann-Hollweg speech was the principal reason I sold and that speech still hangs like'a pall over the situation.” “Were you watching for peace?” “? knew when ' peace came it was going to raise the mischief in the market.” Baruch went into detail as to his stock market operations. On Dec. 14, he sold short 1,600 more shares, bringing his committments up to. 25,~ 000 shares. On Dec. 15 the market broke and he covered by buying in all but 11,- 000 shares. He had gone short, he said, at a round 123 and covered at an average of 110. On Dec. 16 he sold short again 4,- 000 shares and on Dec. 19, went short 28,400 more. On Dec. 20 he covered 17,900 shares, reducing his short account to 25,500. Between Dec. 10 and 23, his net profit in the market was $476,168.47, he testified.

Baruch said he had anticipated the Lloyd George. speech replying to the German peace proposals/on Dec. 19, “I felt that it would be just what it turned out to be, that it would leave the door open for peace.” Baruch was asked if he considered his operations at this time large. He Has Done Better. “Oh, they were fair operations, but I've had larger,” he replied. Then followed a general denial by Baruch that he had any communics tion with any one in Washington | about the time of the president’s note in regard to Baruch also said he tried to call. Paul M. Warburg over the telephone during this perfod but failed. He never talked over the telephone with Secretary Tumulty or discussed the. peace, note. The story he had breakfasted with Tumulty in the Bilt. more hotel, he said, was ‘“‘moonshin “There is one fact in connection with this whole matter has been over- looked,” Baruch volunteered. “That is that the Japanese than whom there are no cleverer in the/ world, - took steps to close the stock exchange im- mediately following Von Bethmann- Hollweg's speech.” This action, noted by Baruch on Dec. 13, increased his desire to sell, he said. “The Japanese market was similar to that here,” he .said. They don't let them sell short over there though.” A rumor, which Mr. Whipple said had come ta the committee, to the sometime during October, November or December had dined th count von Bernstorff and Mr. White and Charles S. Sabin, a {New York banker who early in October predicted a peace move was denied by Baruch.

The police said that the evidence | showed that Lindberg had shot his wife and himself. Neighbors said “I started selling in the morning,” | Baruch said, “and the only reason I did not start earlier was that I had | been out of touch with things during the previous day, due to being absent from my office.” Baruch declared he believed his story would show that Von Bethmann-Hollweg's speech marked the turning point in the world war toward peace. “T realize,” he said, “that the peo- ple’s minds, heretofore think only of war, would turn to thinking of peace; that outside of the better things they would think of what affect peace would have on business and finance and that a man ought to act quickly in selling securities.” Used Own Judgment, Paying little attention to rumors, Baruch said, he was guided in dealin;z the market solely by information received from a ticker service and the on that the couple had quarreled and i that Mrs. Lindberg had expressed her i intention of applying for a divorce. | | The man was a highway laborer.
