ANOTHER ATTACK ON PRESIDENT WILSO

SENATOR'S ACCUSATION.

WASHINGTON, March 52-

In the Senate, Mr. Kellogg, the mid reservation republican who favours the ratification of the Treaty, accused President Wilson of undertaking to dictate the settlement of the Adriatic question and declared that in many cases territory had been parcelled out at Versailles regardless of the desires of the people interested. He asked what part self determination played in the settlement of the questions of the Saar Basin, Shantung, Serbia and Montenegro and declared self-determination had nothing do with the erection of these new nations. He also asked was America to pledge itself for all time to maintain the nations thus erected? Mr. Hitchcock replying, controverted Mr. Kellogg's statements and declared that attacks on the President came with poor grace from republican senators who tried to discredit him during the negotiations.
