Political feeling in America with regard to Europe - is
intensely interesting. The " Irreconcilables " of the Senate are making a demonstration in force—such .force as they have—against the financial transactions in Paris. In their view the United States is committed to a most undesirable entanglement. The "Irrecon- cilables " are led by Mr. Johnson, perhaps aided by - Mr. Borah, and they want to thrash out the whole - question of the Paris Agreement. They will demand information as to the exact nature of the authority given to Mr. Kellogg, Mr. Herrick and Colonel Logan. The President and Mr. Hughes, the Secretary for State, who is about to retire, profess not- to be alarmed. They take the view that the Paris Agreement is a mere financial matter which in no way affects the original determination of America not to be concerned in the Treaty of Versailles.
