VOLUME Sen. Poindexter Sure Treaty Won’t Be Ready for Many Months OPPOSES RY. OWNERSHIP FRED SMART IS HELD| Senator Miles Poindexter be- Neves it will be months before peace will finally be signed. The senator from Washington arrived in Seattle this morning, at 1@ o'clock, from Portland. He is staying at the New Hotel Washington, and will be here for about three days, speaking to night before the Young Men's Republican club in the Masonic temple. President Wilson will not be able to remain in France until the comple tion of the peace terms, either, ac- cording to Poindexter. For it is go- ing to take at least three more Months to draw up the pact and have it accepted and signed by the peace and President Wileon will find it absolutely necessary to return to Amefica long béfore then to at- tend to important matters here. Should Rush Return “Why, here it is flye months since the cessation of hostilities, and there hasn't even been a sitting of the) peace congress,” he said. “Until a few days ago there hadn't even been a committee on credentials appointed What ground have we to believe things are going to be accomplished any speedier in the future?” » immediate steps should be taken and that congress be urged to take such steps to secure the imme diate return of American troops from senator. “The American troops in Europe should be brought home, and Europe again left for -European: he said. “This should be done that this coun try may turn to more important leg: islation—employment of our demo Dilized army, reclamation, the return of the rafiroads to private ownership and many other important matters which must be settled, and settled soon. Opposes U. S. Control ‘These matters have not been un- @ertaken by congress, he says, be- wause of a ruling that under the Overman bill the president had al- most the power of a dictator in di- recting such affairs. “And the president has been too busy in France,” he asserted. Senator Poindexter says he will vote at the first opportunity for the return of the railroads to pri- vate ownership. He does believe, however, in government control of railroad operation and is in favor of the creation of the post of secre tary of railroads. This official, he mays, could direct the actual opera- tion with the interstate commerce commission holding check on him. “| have not changed my views upon the league of nations since making a statement following the publication of the revised constitu tion,” the senator said today. Expects Chairmanship At that time he classed the league ot jons program as “enforced in- ternational slavery.” Senator Poindexter will visit Ta coma Friday to be the luncheon guest of the Kiwanis club. He will return to Seattle, leaving here for | Portiand and San Francisco en route to Washington. He expects to reach the capital about the middle of May Senator Poindexter announced to- day that he expects to be made chairman of the naval affairs com- mittee in the next congress. Thru a ruling in the senate he will have to drop from either the judiciary or railroads committee. He expecta it will be judiciary, Tho this is the most important, he believew he can be of more service on the railroad committee in future plans for their operation. ‘Thursday, the senator will visit the Bremerton navy yard for the day in his present capacity ag mem- ber of the naval affairs committee.
