THE LANCASTER NEWS, LANl
mannting from your leaders refused *^T.L1?-Lo
sign the peace treaty, they received 1
he most sincere cooperation and fif
ympathy from you. When the rep- ?
esentntives of America were doing
verything w ithi*^ their power comlensurate
with right and justice, to
ompromise our differences with Jaan,
your leaders fanned the tires of
iscontent and did everything to widn
the breach. You are still doing it.
"Lielore Germany signed the treaty
our ieaders in this chamber of elouence
that sounded to German ears
howed to them opposition that was!
ynipathetic and akin. Nothing has
oen left undone by you to have "f.iilre"
written over the conference door
t Versailles. Your action is only
omparable to the conduct of the
ever ceasing hell hounds Milton staioned
at the infernal gates.
"The objections raised over the
Ionroe doctrine, withdrawal l'roni
he league, and racial and religious
uestions," Senator Harrison said,
ad been made "to allure and deceivej
lie unsuspecting public." He denied!
Iiat tlreat Britain could dominate the
nigue or that the Monroe doctrine j
:as not safeguarded. Referring to
barges that the black race would
ontrol the league, he continued:'
The black man at no place and at no
ime in history where he and the
hite man sat In the same council
ible dominated or controlled.
'The opponents also have appealed
t> the religious prejudice of the peole,
saying that the papacy might
ontrol. 1 am a Protestant, but I deounce
as unfair, unjust and inimous
such arguments against the
?ague of nations.
"You have tried to arouse the Irish
i
f the nation into believing that ifi
he league of nations is adopted. Iromd's
hope for self-determination is
one. You have tried to arouse their
rejtulices. There is nothing in that

ind. We might side with Ireland." j
That the Republican leaders also]
avc sought to arraign labor against j
he league was asserted by Mr. 11 arisen,
who said their argument was
exploded" because of the part Sam-'
el Gontpers had in drafting the la-l
or sections of the treaty and also beause,
he said, virtually every labor J
rgtnizalion in the country has inlorsed
league almost unanimously.
