"I was a pioneer in the movement
for a league," said Senator King.
"More than ten :--ars ago I toured
my State organzl:ing clubs favoring a
,world organization to insure peace.
Then, as now the people were for it.
They said that if there 1wns a panacea
for war, they wanted It. But swith
this concrete proposal before them
they are analyzing it and finding so
much in it that is dangerous and ob
jectionable, that they will insist on its
modification. Unless it is modified in
several particulars, I cannot vote for
it."
Senator Jones (Wash.) emphatica!
ly declared that the American worker
will not agree to a Compact olening
the doors to Japaniese immigration.
"As I read the remarks of Viscount
Islii," said Senator Jones; "the (e
mand of Japan is that in the very con
stitution of the league there be in
scrtedi a provision which will obliter
ate our laws restrictive of immigra
tion from the Far East.
"The opponents of the league were
very wise when they denmanded that
the proposed compact be scrutinized
closely so that it should be rovealed

that this a ation of immigration from
the Asiati iations would arise. The

they were wrong in tbair estimate o0
the situation.
"Should the league -be formed- with
out Japan and China and Russia, there
would be merely another great divi
sion of world powers.
"As a body, I believe American la
bor has been standing for the league,
but when it understands this immigra

support the proposal."

I am resLing now In Europe,
I was brought here by the draft;
For the war I've carried guns and

Which were a heavy graft.
While I was working in the dtmip
A-going on the rtun,
Many a shell was whistling by
Shot in by devilish Hun.
This ,went on for many a day,

That stopped the fiing on the front

Now the war is over,
And I have done my bit;
So back to good old U. S. A.

Alt.hough the war is over
And the shooting it did stop;
F'n battling with many a "cootie,"
That's going over the top.
