The biggest, political. sensation for many a uay developed witn the announcement. that Senator Aiorah, chairman of the Foreign Committee, is breaking with, the Administration regarding the financial agreement signed in Paris last week. “It is a dangerous step which iuav entangle America in Europe, and make this Government morally, if not legally responsible as a partner with the Allied Powers in enforcing reparations payments against Germany, ’ said Mr. Borah, in reviewing the situation. Mr. Borali’s step is reminiscent ot the late Senator Lodge’s revolt against ' the late President Wilson, which nullified the League of Nations.
