PAGE EIGHT WORLD LEAGUE IS ONLY * WAY TO PREVENT WAR vv a f^nator MoCuiiiImt Dcclnifs the _ World Will Be Plunged Into p Strife Without league. 11 v Washington. Juno 19.?Declaring opponents of the league of nations v have conducted a campaign of mis- (l representation and distortion, Sen- a ntor Met'umber, of North Dakota, a ^ Stepublican member of the foreign '1 rnluf Ian c onmviiitton taklrl t htt uiuf.i t it that tho league covenant offered the only present hope of preventing future and more terrible wars. Replying to arguments of many s Hepubliean senators, he upheld the league as entirely consistent with the, American constitution and devoid of any ability to dangerously entanglo or curtail American interests. "In 20 years of service in the sen- o ate," said the North Dakota seua-? st tor, "I have never known one in- e: etrument whose terms have been so $ wilfully misrepresented and so A grossly misrepresented as the cove- <C annt of tho league of nations. It i?( V regrettable that the mighty power of: d1 eloquence is used to defame the true ni meaning of an instrument, the most Important that ever appealed to thoj e: heart or the soul of man. I ai "Suppose we now refuse to joimst with the rest of the world in some; bi scheme to prevent war. what will! ic happen? As surely as the sun shall al rise, every great nation will proceed: tl to devise means for the wholesale pi destruction of nations. So desperate pi will he the next war that all the st Hate and venom created by tliisj 01 struggle will t>e infinitesimal coni-l ai pared with the next. And against ni what rare will all these weapons of; tl death he used? Against the white'A race." I es Quoting the declaration of Senator hi Johnson. Republican, of California.; Si that America by virtue of her isola- "i tlon does not need the European ei powers "as partners." Mr. McCumber said isolation had long since broken down, a European quarrel having cost this country in the past five years Rft.tioo lives and $10,000.- 1000.000, "There is no moral duty innun-' bent upon any man in his relation to I his fellow man." he continued, "that. Is not equally incumbent upon a na-' tlon In its relation to every other natlon. i u "Of course, not one of us would have written this covenant just as It has come to us. Rut this covenant represents the deliberations of na- j)( Hons. It deals with complex sltua- ()1 lions. It comes to us as a romprn-1 mise compact And to secure the! support of this country special con-| fr roB*lons have been made to us. Our ... i Monroe doctrine is hv this instru- ^ nieiu given a worm sanmon. "It has been asserted and reasserted in all the false attacks on this instrument that the United, *( States would ho compelled to help Great Britain preserve her domain t)| against her own Internal revolution j)( or rebellions. Nothing could be more false. It is only against exter- ^ nal aggression that the league as- ()) ?ures its protection." Referring to charges that the (lj United States would he at a disad- j(] vantage in the league because it has ^ only one vote, the speaker said the ^ important decision would he made j0 in the council where the only votes | would be one each for the five great powers with unanimous action rnquired to effect a decision or to w transfer consideration of a question to the assembly. Vnswering objec- P( tions that Great Britain would have too many votes In the assembly, he ,t continued: "What would he the danger to us fi( of having Canada. Australia and New Zealand, blood of our blood and (( Vimin /\f r>in- bone made members of! .. - l{ the assembly? You give black Haiti a vote, you give black Liberia y a vote. But you would deny the Kreat, independent commonwealth of Canada the right to raise her . voice." Mr. MoOumher declared he per- sj eonally would be opposed to leaving ^ dermanv out of the league, fearing 0. that action might lead to future division and jealousies. vV PEACE CONFERENCE IS MARKING TIME ^ (Continued From Page One ) the opinion that th" Hermann would' accept the revised treaty. This mem | her, however, is one whoso opinion [ the wilier say*, lie holds in the greatest esteem. The delegate in question,- M. d f 1111 n explains, based his opinion that the Germans will sign the treaty on the faet that they have knowledge that at a meeting of the council of four a complete agreement was Teached on the consequences which would follow Germany's refusal. They were aware, the delegate point- v J out, that peace would then be osed by force, in accordance w resident Wilson's Baltimore spet ml that orders had been given n allied force of 600,000 men, s orted by heavy a'tlllery of liithc nrevealed power, to begin an ance on the morning of June 24 Confronted by such reatlt hich alone count with thetn, ieruian government and the natl 1 assembly at Weimar, in the di ate's opinion, would sign reaty.
