Governor Sproul has the courage of, his con victions. His convictions are that the Philadelphia charter bills in their present shape arc imperfect. The sug gestions for their improvement made by the Attorney General were openly re jected; added to which is the fact that the Governor was charged with bciug in a plot with the Vnrcs to cripple the bills and render them non-effective. Governor Sproul has absolute con fidence in the legal judgment of his at torney general. When the latter reported that certain chabges in tho charter were desirable, Governor Sproul authorized him to proceed with tho preparation of amendments that would rectify tho de fective conditions. I quote good authority in the state ment that from a legal standpoint the bills as originally drawn were in main respects very defective.

Senator Hitchcock, senior Democratic member of the foreign relations rommlU tec, charged Senators Lodge nnd Borah hail made an attack on the l'rcsldeift "of n most scandalous nature" iu their RtaTcmciits, saying there were copies of tho unpublished treaty In New York, Added interest was given the contro versy when it became known the Hitch cock lesolutions had been iutroduccd 'after a White House conference and a denial by Acting Secretary ol state Polk that ho had told preM representa tives that financial sectiousof the treaty were in the hands of financial Interests in New Y'ork which lepottcd statement was given publicity bv Senator Lodge during the discussion Wednesday.
