IS DIVERGENCE OF OPINION
The Senate Was Not Consulted by the
President When a Representative
Was Sent to Supreme Council,
Washington.?Secretary Hughes is
of the opinion that the new treaty
with Germany doesn't permit the
United States to join the League of
[ Nations except by a treaty to which
' the senate has given its constitutional
consent. He didn't intend the
language of the new pact to be interpreted
in any other way and had no
desire to use phrases which could in
any way give rise to what he considers
an absurd viewpoint?namely the
joining of the league without the con-1
sent of the senate.
Hut there is a divergence of opinion
on this subject. And the interesting
thing now is to see whether the allies
I consider the action of the Harding
. administration as absolutely final.
It is pointed out by those who differ
with Mr. Hughes that the present
administration did not feel bound to
consult the senate when a representative
was seHt officially to the supreme j
council and that if the executive cared |
to do so he could send an American I
diplomat to take America's seat in;
the council of the lencue.
Hunger Strike is Threatened.
Cork.?Four hundred and fifty re-;
publicans held in the Spike Island internment
camp have served notice on
the governor that, unless they are released.
they will start a hunger strike.
{ They base their demand on the ground
that the English government has no
legal or moral right to detain them.
Legion Members Volunteer.
Welch. W. Va.?Five hundred members
of McDowell county post No. 8,
American Legion, under command of
Major W. E. Furbank, answering a
call from Governor Morgan, left
Welch in automobiles for Logan
county.
