Senator MeCumber said his only objections ob-jections to the lodge reservation on withdrawal from the league was of form. As to the Lodge reservation to article ten, Senator MeCumber said he had many objections. "Kirst, it is an amendment pure and simple," he said, "of the most important article in the league. Its purpose is to take the United States as a power for the peace of the world out of the league entirely. "Second, It p!ace9 this country in a false and wrong position, an attitude of encouraging powerful countries to inflict or impose any wrong upon weaker nations, na-tions, by our declared policy .of nonintervention." non-intervention." With his report Senator MeCumber submitted sub-mitted the six reservations he champions as substitutees for the committee reservations. reser-vations. These recently were made public pub-lic ' PEACE PICT TAKEN OP BY SENATORS (Continued from Page One.) garian bank immediately after signature of tiie treaty is required. Austria renounces "any benefit disclosed dis-closed by the treaties of Bucharest and Brest-LkovHrt,'' and supplements and agrees to return to Rumania or th allied al-lied and associated powers all securities or goods received under them. Austria also transfers to the allied and associated powers all claims to reparation by the German, Hungarian, Bulgarian or Turkish Turk-ish governments. When Senator Jones concluded a two hours' address, Senator Hitchcock, leader of the administration forces, entered a vigorous protest to the reading of the copy of the Austrian treaty, which he said had not been officially presented to the senate. Senator Lodge agreed, although he had obtained unanimous consent, he would put the document in without reading. GERMAN TREATY UP FOR READING. The German treaty then came up for reading, section by section, but,, as Senator Sena-tor Lodge said senators were not expecting ex-pecting it to be called up until later. Senator Overman, Democrat, North Carolina, Caro-lina, delivered a prepared speech in favor of tho treaty. Rejection of all proposed amendments to the German peace treaty and modification modifi-cation of the recommended "strong" res-; res-; ervations were urged in an individual I minority report filed with the senate to-1 to-1 clay by Senator MeCumber, Republican, ! North Dakota, next in rank on the foreign relations committee to Chairman Lodge. Attacking the majority report. Senator MeCumber denounced most- of the amendments as "selfish, immoral and dishonorable," dis-honorable," and charged that they seek to "isolate the United States and abandon our allies." "To the substance of some of the proposed pro-posed reservations." Senator McCumber's report declared, "there can be no serious objection. But against the manner in which they are asserted I do most earnestly earn-estly protest. They are couched in a defiant, de-fiant, discourteous and overbearing manner man-ner and seem intended to express a jingoistic jin-goistic spirit that ought to be eliminated from American statesmanship." MeCumber Opposes. Scoring the committee reservations to article ten of the league of nations covenant, Senator MeCumber said it really real-ly is an amendment "pure and simple," and designed to make the United States entirely out of the league. He expressed opposition to the proposed amendment to the Shantung provision. By this amendment, he said, Japan would be "kicked out" of the league by the United States and Shantung possibly lost to China. Calling attention to what he termed the failure of the majority to explain the purpose of the league, Senator MeCumber said: "Not one word is said concerning either the great purpose of the league of nations na-tions or the methods by which those purposes are to be accomplished. Irony and sarcasm have been substituted for argument. It is regrettable that the consideration of a matter so foreign to partisanship should be influenced by hostility hos-tility towards or subserviency to the president." Senator MeCumber said that the amendment to give the United States equal votes in the league with England and the British colonies was "unnecessary." "unneces-sary." Answers Objections. .
