(Washington, April 13.-General a
proval of President Harding's de
larations in his first message to co
gress today that the United Stat
could have no part in the prese
league of nations and that the sta
of war should be ended by congre
sional resolution was exbressed l
Republican senate leaderg both of t:
"irreconcilables" and rreservatio
ist" groups.
Senator Lodge of Massachuseti
Republican leader who led the loi
fight for reservations to the trea
of Versailles, said he was "extreme
pleased" by the message which I
declared "separate us from t
league and approves passage of t
Knox resolution."
Senator Johnson, California, a:
Borah, Idaho, leaders of the "i
reconcilables," expyessed gratific
tion that the president had definite
rejected the present league and hi
declared for restoration of peace I
congressional action. They express
doubt, however, that the treaty
Versailles with the league covena
excluded could be put into shape f
ratification-a possibility suggest
by Mr. Harding.
Senator Hitchcock of NebrasI
acting Democratic leader, who led t
Wilson forces in the senate for ri
ification of the treaty and leagi
expressed disappointment at t
president's message. He declar
that by refusing to enter the leagi
the United States has refused to tal
part in the effort to stabilize t1
social, business and governnmen
conditions of the world, witho
which, he said, there cotild be neith
a revival of business nor prosperit5
"I am wondering," Senator Hai
son, Democrat, Mississippi, said in
statement tonight, "what the tho
ands of independent voters pro-leag
Republicans and Republican leadei
who were assured or insisted Lt
the best way to have America g
into the league of nations and ha
the treaty of Versailles ratified w
through the election of IHarding
president, now think."
"What the president said abo
the league suited me," was the coi
ment of Senator Reed, Missouri,
Democratic treaty "irreconcilable."
Senator Norris. Republican, N
braska, said he was pleased to "w
come the president to the fold of t
irreconcilables."
Senator Poindexter, Republici
Washington, said the plan for an i
sociation "still was in a nebulo
state."
Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, a R
publican "mild reservationist," d
clared the president would "he al
to work out an association of n
tions and a peace program that w
be satisfactory to all."
Senator Knox, Pennsylvania, auth
of the peace resolution adopted
the ist congress and vetoed I
President Wilson ,issued a stateme
toda ysaying that President Hat
ing's "suggestion that a declarati
of policy as to our attitude town
the recrudescence of threatening i
itarism should be temporarily po
poned," was entirely agreeable
hIm.
There had been some (liscussion
the incorporation of such a decl
ation in a peace resolution to
adopted by the present congress.
"Such a declaration," said Senat
Knox, "relates to the futire and m
well be deferred until there is sor
stabilization of present wvorld ce
fusion."
Senator Knox indIicatedl that
wvouldl reintroduce his peace resol

RECEIVE REPLIES
TO MANDATE NOTE
Question at Issue Between United
States and Japan as to
Cable Station.
s" Washington, April 11.-France and
ts Great Britain are understood to have
replied to Secretary Hughes recent
' notes regarding the Japanese man
S- date over the Pacific Island of Yap.
nd The British government's response is
said to have been of a preliminary
nature.
State department officers, while
e- intimating that replies had been re
c ceived, declined to say so positively
or to indicate their nature.
nt France, in reply to a previous
t American note regarding the Yap
s- mandate, expressed the hope that the
S controversy between the United
States and Ja pan on this subject
could be settled by direct negotia
tions between them without involv
s ing her as a principal. Whether re
newed exhibition if given to this hope
t in France's latest note has not been
ydisclosed, but some diplomats are of
e the opinion that in any event her
new communication wouldb go fur
le ther inasmuch as Mr. Hughes dealt
wit hthe whole subject of mandates
rd as well with Yap specifically.
r- It has been the expectition of state
ar department officers and of some for
eign envoys here as well that the
allied governments would admit the
soundness of the American position,
ed that as the principal allied and asso
of ciated power in favor of which Ger
ut many by the treaty of Versailles re
nounced its right and titles in its
overseas possessions, the United
States is entitled to a voice in the
ultimate disposition of those terri
tories.
Ie In view of the supposed tentative
e character of the British reply to
e' Mr. Hughes there was little disposi,
he tion in official circles to comment
le regarding the attitujde of that gov
k' ernment. The opinion has been ad
he vanced, however, that Great Britain's
-al attitue probably would be influenced
ut in great measure by whether Japan
e miisted upon the carrying out the
terms of the treaty of London under
. which Great Britain and France
agreed she should have the former
German islands north of the equator.
ue This treaty was entered into before
e United States declared wvar on
Germany.
et With the Yap mandate question ap
ve parently still far from settlement it
is not thought likely that the inter
a national communications conference,
s which resumes its session tomorrow,
will make great progress toward
1 agreement on the disposition of for
a mer German cables.

of The trial resulted from an extun
Sr- sive raid on the offices and homes of
be members of the I. W. W. conducted
by the department of justice, Sep
or tember 5, 191-7. A total of 166 men
ay were brought into court on charges
ne of violating the selective service and
in. espionage acts and 97 of them were
convictedl. Sonme of these servedl their
lhe sentences.
u. In appealing to the suprleme court
to from decisions of the circuit court of

the men argued that the principal ev
idence used against them at their
trial was illegally obtained in that
it was seized by federal agents durii
i. ing the raid wvithiout search wvarrants
