WASHINGTON, May 26. - Repre-
sentatives of white nations will be out
numbered around the league of nations
council table, Senator James A. Reed.
of Missouri, declared in an attack on
the league in the Senate to-day. The
Missouri Senator, who is the only man
on the Democratic side so far who has
declared against ANY league said the
coiored races of the world would cast
seventeen votes to fifteen by white
nations.
His hot attacks brought forth per-
haps the best debate on the league so
far in Congress. Senator Hitchcock. of
Nebraska, the leading supporter of the
President on the question, attempted to
belittle the Missourian's attack. He
answered Mr.. Reeds criticism that all
the little backward or barbaric nations
would have an equal voice with the
united States by pointing to the fact
that so much of the real power had
been lodged in the executive council.
I'VE don't know when Liberia will
get on the executive council" retorted
Mr. Reed at one stage 1--WE didn't
think she would get in the league"
Knox Supports Reed
Senator Philander c. Knox of penn-
sylvanla, interrupted in support of Mr.
Reed against the point made bv Sen
ator Hitchcock that all questions would
have to be decided unanimously. He
pointed out that while this was true
and that for that reason no small ma
ton could put over" an injustice on
the big ones, it was equally true that
any small nation could prevent, bv the
same token, justice being done to a
big one.
Intense interest was manifested not
only by the galleries, but by Senator's
OF both parties, all through the Reed
speech. There was none of the usual
reading OF newspapers, or covert CON
tcrences. The interest was especially
intense rs Mr. Reed challenged the
Southern Senators to go back to their
constituents and tell the truth about
the race question. His comments on
"colored domination" of the league
were plainly embarrassing to many of
the Southerners.

Origin ofLeague
Told by Wilson
Indirectly Outgromth of
the Bonds That Bind
the american Nations

PARIS, May 26 (By The Associated
Press ).-Speaking at dinner given by
the PanAmerican peace delegation in
honor Of Dr. Epitacio Pessoa, Presi-
dent-elect of Brazil, tonight, Presi-
dent Wilson said the league of nations
was indirectly the outgrowth of the
bonds between the American nations.
He referred to the Monroe Doctrine
and to suggestions that had once been
made to broaden the principle of non
aggression on the American hemi-
sphere.
Mr.. Wilson remarked that while the
United States had undertaken to be
champion Of America against a2gres-
sion from Europe, it gave no assur-
ance that it would itself never be an
aggressor.
What | wanted to do" said the
President, "in the proposals made to
other American states was to give our
own bond that they were safe against
US and any Illicit ambition we might
entertain--as safe as far as any power
of the United States could secure them
against foreign nations"
Mr.. Wilson added that he regretted
the proposals were not at that time
accepted, but said that the impulse to
which the peoples of the American con-
tinent have contributed have now led
to a pledge on the part of ali self
governing nations Of the world that
they would be friends and would take
pains to secure each others safety
independence and territorial integrity
He assured those present at the din

II Shall Sign No Scrap
Of Paper,'' Says Head Of
German Peace EnvOys

BERLIN, May 26.-Count Won Brock
dorff Rantzau, head of the German
peace delegation, in an interview with
the Versailles correspondent of the
"Vorwerts,' said he went to Versailles
with the firm intention of defending
what remained for the welfare and
happiness of the German people, but
even this remnant had been DESTROYED
by the peace treaty. The count said
1t was question, therefore. whether
it could not be better saved by refus-
ing to sign than by submitting. as
was desired by the Independent So
cialists.
The chairman of the German dele
cation said he certainly would fight
to the last in order to try to improve
the lot of the working people by
negotiation, but the delegates would
be SHINING against the interests Of
the working people if they signed con-
ditions which signified only per
petual famine and UNEMPLOYMENT"
Should l. under pressure from our
own misled countrymen. sign this SEN
tence of death ?" asked Count Won
Brockdorff Rantzau
questioned as to whether he feared
the demonstrations of the Independent
Socialists would be successful. he said
they would be unsuccessful in the sense
of moving him to abandon his resolve
not to sign what he believed would
be tantamont to destruction of the
nation.
Referring to Herr Hoses statement
that peace must be signed and that
the coming revolution would make it
scrap of paper, he said:
When | came to Versailles | had
the firm hope that the time of scraps
of paper had finally passed and that
a new age would begin in which only
treaties would be signed which would
be respected by both sides. have
not abandoned the hope of attaining
healthy inter- ational morality. A mere
scrap of paper will never bear my
signature"

PARIS, May 26.-The council of four
decided this morning, as anticipated,
to recognize any non Bolshevik gov
eminent in Russia that agrees to con-
vene national assembly and to respect
the frontiers determined by the league
of nations as the new borders of the
nation.
The decision does not imply recog
milton of Admiral Kolchak or of anv Of
the other governments which may
agree to these conditions, since the
national assembly ultimately would de-
eide what the government should be.
The decision is in accord with the
conclusions reached by the Russian po-
litical conference in Paris and the
agreement reached by the majority Of
not all the anti-Bolshevik forces.

White Nations Outvoted
In League, Asserts Reed
Points Made by Reed In
attack on League Plan

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
~ Reed, of Missouri, called the
proposed league of nations a "col-
orded league" in the Senate to-day.
Following Senator Hitchcock's dec
laration that the league will be con-
trolled by an executive council. of
which the United States, Great Brit
ain. France, Italy and Japan would
constitute a majority, Senator Reed
said:
"Then you have not a league of
nations; you have quintuple al
lance; and instead of having a
league Of nations of the world as the
President said he was going to have,
you have five great nations that have
united themselves to govern and
dominate the world"
At another point in his speech the
Senator declared:
"1f a Republican President had
brought the league of nations here
if Roosevelt had brought it here
there isn't Democrat who wouldn't
be standing here fighting-fghting to
the last ditch-against this mon
strous thing"

Republlcans-torn over the question of
whether they shall attack the league
as party-when Senator Knox. their
former Secretary of State. interrupted
with one of the most biting criticisms
of the league yet made.
Hitchcock Interrupts
Senator Hitchcock began his inter-
ruptions during Mr.. Reeds attacks on
the backward and barbaric nations"
which will have a vote in the league
equal to that of the United States.
"Will the Senator explain what they
can vote on?" asked Mr.. Hitchcock.
Il think that would be interesting"
"On anything that America can vote
on in the league"
The Senator is entirely mistaken" :"
retorted Mr.. Hitchcock.
"Ah," said Mr.. Reed, docs the Sena-
tor claim the league of nations has
nothing to do? Let us have it out
does it have nothing to do or does it
have something to do ?"
"The league has little to do" said
Mr.. Hitchcock.

Probably All Agreed

PARIS, May &c BY The Associated
Press The council of four of the
peace conference has decided condi-
tlonally to recognize the anti -Bolshevik
governments of Admiral Kolchak and
General Dennkine, according to Reu-
ter's Agency here.
Paris was alive with rumors all dav
concerning the recognition of Admiral
Kolchak's government, Several Paris
newspapers announced that the council
of four had decided to recognize this
government under certain conditions.
This could not be confirmed in con-
ference circles, although serious con-
sideration Of the subject was frankly
admitted.
The majority of the council of four,
possibly all the members, as we'll as
Japan, have apparently agreed upon
recognition if proper guarantees are
given of the thoroughly democratic
character Of the government.
United States Enjoys Silent
The American delegation, however,
declined to confirm the report that a
final decision had been reached and the
iSNSS'h'A NOihiItioSiOil, :CdUcQ ny TlHCc
Lvoff, was not advised of any formal
proposal to the Omsk government, with
which it cooperatcs.
The French Foreign Office also de
clined to give confirmation. Positive
action nevertheless appears to be i'm
minent, and the opinion prevails among
the peace delegates that Admiral Kol-
chak will get the support of the five
great powers if he gives assurances of
his purpose to grant to the Russians
an opportunity to determine the nature
of their government by popular vote.
The conditions for the recognition
are, according to the Reuter- report,
that regarding the future of Rus
STA, these governments agree to con-
woke and accept the verdict of genu-
inc constituent assembly; likewise that
the league of nations covenant and its
consequences as affecting the bounda-
ries of the former empire are accepted.
The Allies will not furnish Admiral
Kolchak and General Denikine with
troops, but will supply them with arms,
munitions, money and food on larger
scale than hitherto. 1t is stipulated
that there will be no interference with
the races of non-Russan states recent
ly erected from old Russian territory.

1t is reported in well-informed

this. At any rate, the Italian and
Greek opposition remains acute, the
Greeks struggling hard for the Dode-
canese and a part of the mainland of
Asia Minor while the Italians continue
to extend their occupation in that re-
gion, evidently for the purposes of bar
gaining with the Allies.
President Wilson, who was the sub
stantal support of the British and
French delegates, as we'll as of the
Jugo-Slavs and Greeks, continues TO
hold out against the Italians. His con-
tinued opposition is one of the sew

BERLIN, May 26.-The Tribune
learns from high government cir

Germany.
The governments position is that
the treaty is impossible to fulfil,
ard that no German government
can be constructed which could
guarantee full compliance with the
present terms. The governments
intention, apparently, is to CO.

league of nations to the extent of
