Thomas W. Lamont of Commission
on Reparations Gives Copy to
Henry P. Davison, in Paris,
Committee Learns.
HITCHCOCK'S CHARGES OF
CORRUPTION ARE EXPLODED
Former Senator Root Tells Senate
Probers That as Soon as Germans
Gave Out Contents It Became Public
Property—Will Be No Further In-
vestigation.
By Universal Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 11.—
The responsibility for the "leak" on
the peace treaty from Paris to Wall
Street has been definitely traced to
Thomas W. Lamont, a member of the
commission on reparations of the Pcace
Conference by appointment of Presi-
dent Wilson and a member of the firm
of J. P. Morgan & Co.
It was Mr. Lamont who gave a copy
of the treaty to Henry P. Davison of
the same firm in Paris on May !>. The
copy was brought to New York by Mr
Davison and given to former Senator
Elihu Hoot, who showed it to Senator
Lodge. It was this copy which Senator
Lodge held in his hands and studied
"for an hour and a half," as he in-
formed the Senate in presenting the
charge that the treaty was in Wail
Street hands.
These facts were clearly established
today when the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations in opening the in-
vestigation of the "leak" heard the
testimony of Mr. Root, Mr. Davison,
J. P. Morgan and Frank A. Vanderlip.
The chain of transmission from Mr.
Lamont to Mr. Root was told about
frankly and without any attempt at
concealment of the facts.
Mr. Morgan und Mr. Vanderlip testified
the.v had not been in possession o£ any
copies.
The investigation accounted for the copy
which Senator Lodge saw, but dirl not ac»
couut for the other copies of which .Sen*
t»lor JLoUffe *Qid in the Seuute he knew of
four, and Senator Borah declared there
were several. Notwithstanding this, the
investigation apparently will go no fur-
ther and 110 more witnesses will be called
unless Mr. Lamont should return from Ko-
rope iu the near'future. In that event, lie
will be asked by whose authority he gave
a copy of the treaty to Mr. Davison.
The IJepublieans professed themselves as
greatly pleased with the result of the in-
vestigation. In the first place the testi-
mony completely exploded the theory ad-
vanced by Senator Hitchcock in presenl-

Organized Labor Opposes
Wartime Prohibition Law
American Federation of Labor Declares
President's Order Forbidding Brewing
of Beer as Sumptuary Legislation
By Associated Pre*?.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., June 11.—A resolution expressing organized
labor's disapproval of war-time prohibition and strongly urging that 2)4 per
cent beer be exempted from the provisions of the eighteenth amendment to the
Constitution, and from the war-time prohibition measure, which goes into effect
July 1, was adopted today by the reconstruction convention of the American
Federation of Labor. A bitter fight was waged on the proposal by dry elements,
especially delegates from Seattle, who based their arguments on the benefits
they said their city had found through prohibition, but it was carried by an
overwhelming vote of 26,475 to 4,005. The voting is proportional to the mem-
bership of the unions represented.
The resolution will be sent to President Wilson and Congress.
HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME
FOR DIFFICULTIES, SAYS
COUNT ZU REVENTLOW.
By t"nlvi»r*nl Service.
BERLIN", June 11.—t>isputes among
the allies at the peace table are "family
quarrels." and Germany being outside the
"family," would be foolish to build any
hopes upon them, for there ie> no chance
of the hostile alliance being disrupted.
With this argument. Count Krnfet Z\i
Reventlow, leading pan-German firebrand,
counters In his Deutsche Tuges Zeltung the
widespread view in Germany that the al-
lied (-oalltiou may collapse and Germany
might still suatch a diplomatic victory
out of the jaws of defeat.
"We ourselves are to blame for the
severity of the peace terms," is the main
thread of his logic. Ho bitterly deuounres
the weakness of the German governments
since Prince Max of Baden, in admitting
Germany's war guilt instead of proving her
Innocence, which, he says, would have been
an easy thing. Thufi, he avers, Germany
allowed the "French and lOnglish Machia
vellls" to convince President Wilson she
alone is to blame and for** him to abandou
his fourteen points. His article follows:
Italy Will Agree.
"Our forces are bound together by eco-
nomic ties. One Is dependent upon the
other. Italy may kirk aud shout for a
while, but in the final end she will agree
and take her share of the spoils It is
the spoils that arc holding the allies to-
gether, at least until the spoils are divided.
"Now, the Italians are mad clean
through. They are denouncing their allies
aud they are abusing President Wilson.
They have a right to do so because they
belong to one family. They are allies. It
Is the proper policy for the Italians and
Italian newspap.rs to abuse Wilson. No
doubt the Italian government itself is the
stage manager of this campaign of abuse
levelled at the American President. But it
Is most foolish for (*ernian newspapers
to imitate the Italians. We cannot com-
pare our position with Italy's because we
do not belong to the allies* family. The
aaasrer ever ready for us will always be:
'Germany brought on the war, Jt is guilty
and deserves no consideration.'
"That Germany is considered guilty by
ail t*a world is the fault of the Orman
govern meats from Prince Max of Baden
on. For the purpose of bringing abont a
revolution the paries on the left have
been aiding and abetting, in convincing
oven the German people of the guilt of the
kaisers government. They blamed the
ksiser for the war, in order to got rid
him. and now they mu«t not be surprised
if they see the guilt fastened upon the
Ormio nation by our foes.
"The German Government since Prince

At. the outset the resolution cites tlie^»"
provisions of President Wilson's executive
order stopping tho brewing of beer on De
cember 1. 1918; the provisions of the war
emergency bill establishing war-time pro
hibition, and tlie Eighteenth Amendment.
It then continues:
"Whereas, all the foregoing is princi-
pally intended to deprive t.ho workers of
America of the means to secure legally a
glass of beer after a day's work ; and.
"Whereas, all this restrictive and sump-
tuary legislation has tho effect of destroy

and is seriously crippling many Interna-
tional organizations affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor; therefore,
be it
"Resolved, That the American Federa-
tion of Labor, in convention assembled in
Atlantic City, expressed its disapprovsl
of war-time prohibition and that a strong
protest from the delegates to this con-
vention, be forwarded to the Government

emphatic manner the opinion of the dele-
gates to this convention, that, tlie present
mild beers of 2-% per cent alcohol by

visions of the Eighteenth Amendment to

visions of the war time prohibition meas-
ure; and be it further
