I'.ritiiin and ln-r colonics would have. fix vott-s f ' i thr league of nations to one for the J'nh 'd States., Senator Ab' 'umber, Kenul.licAu. -N'orth JtaUota, charged in the senate too'ay that senators- advocating tho aiiieniliiien t I'V Senator Johnson, Republican, Republi-can, California. . proposing to limit the voting powe." of the Uritish colonies, were fanning popular prfjinlicu with an unfounded un-founded nppe.il. "Senators, n) in private conversation would never il,'!'. uii of attempting to do-, ce'ivo one another," said Senator Mc-Cuniber. Mc-Cuniber. "seem iiiiblo to resist thn temptation temp-tation to take advantage of u l.-rejudi;o creii i ed liv th iJ deci.pt ion, and, with st iniied avoidant' ? of the real and full truth, give this p.-i'Judico another boost;" As a substitute iVr the Johnson aniPiiil-meiit. aniPiiil-meiit. Senator Mct'.'umher urged his pro-powed pro-powed reserva I hui to exehnle h'iti.sh colonies colo-nies from part lei pa I ing in the league In disputes involving the. mother country or each other. GIVES A WRONGFUL IMPRESSION, HE SAYo. "Almost every argutnent made on the floor of tho senate-,'' said Sena tor lU.r-( lU.r-( 'umber, "a nd every on e, without exception, excep-tion, made to tho publU' by senators opposed op-posed to the league of nations, has given the Impression to tho people of the world that tho council or Ihe ussembly, as (he case might he. fs a son1 of court or tribunal tri-bunal that decides the disputes between nations, and it is because, of these misstatements mis-statements of the facts a no' the misapprehension misappre-hension of many of our people arising therefrom, that the ground is made fertile for the development of about all the animosities ani-mosities towards this league, and especially espe-cially towa rd t ho claimed "voting power of t Ircut. Hritain. "I wish the public couhl just once fully understand, first, that not ono case of dispute out of a hundred would ever go to the council or assembly; second, that oven if all ,ot her efforts provided for tho settlement of disputes should fail, the only thing submit I ed to Ihe council or assembly is the right to investigate and report the facts to the public." JOHNSON'S ARGUMENT DECLARED ABSURD. Senator McCumher said tho argument of Senator Johnson and other supporters of the Johnson amendment as to Hritain's voting power was "too absurd to be true,'' and asked why France. Italy and other nations did not raise objections to "putting "put-ting their heads into the lion's mouth." The North Dakota senator said "the real facts" regarding tho league were: "That neither the council nor assembly isj a board of arbitration. "That neither of them decides International Interna-tional disputes at all. "That, the only jurisdiction which the councsil or assembly have over a dispute between nations is tho right to investigate investi-gate and report what the true facts are, and make recommendations. "That a dispute with a part of a nation or empire in a dispute with the whole. |
