Special Despatch TO THE srx.


WASHINGTON. May 26.-Black men.
red men, brown men, yellow
men and men with mongrel
mixtures of these races will con-
troll and dominate the world and
the destiny of the United States II
the League of Nations plan is ac-
cepted by America, Senator Reed
(Mo), Democrat, declared in the Sen
ate to-day. The white race in votes
in the league assembly will be out
numbered and the white populations
Of the world as represented by the
League Of Nations will be hopelessly
In the minority.
Senator Reeds speech presented a
new angle OF the fight against the
scheme for Standardization and one
which has put in a bad hole those
Southern Senator's who have consist
emily and blindly applaudcd every
move OF the President and followed
his leadership in every direction.
These Senators had some forewarning
Of the kind OF speech Mr.. Reed
would make and were fearful Of lis
effect on them. They make no secre.
Of the fact now that the address has
been made that 1t VIII have tremen-
dous effect In the Southern States. -,
Membership Is Concealed.
"a striking illustration is found In
the fact that we are now for the FIRST
time informed what nations are to con-
stltute the members OF the league" said
the Missouri Senator. 1T will be re-
membered that the original covenant &c
far as published mentioned by name az
members Of the league the British EN-
pire, France. Italy. Japan and the United
States and that the names OF the other
members were referred to as being con-
tained in a protocol the contents oi
which were sedulously concealed from
ths people. Whatever motive led to thi,
concealment II Is certain that the primal
shock to American intelligence and pa.
triotism would have been much greater
II the people at first had been informed
frankly who were to be the partners OF
the United States in the world Govern.
ment about to be set up.
THE names are now given. We know
who arc to sit on tine council board OF
the international tribunal which is to
undertake in many respects the govern
mcnt OF the world. An examination OF
the character OF this membership ough,
In itself to cause the instant rejection OF
the whole scheme. 1t brands the plan as
futile and impossible and dooms II to
an ignominious failure.
white Countries Outnumbered
IAN examination of the membership
OF this present league will first astonish
and then arouse the Indignation OF every
thoughtful man. 1t will come as a dis.
tinct shock first that this Is a colored
League of Nations. This is TO say the
majority of the nations composing the
league do not bslong TO the white race. or
the contrary they are a conglomerate OF
the black, yellow brown and red races
frequently so intermixed and commingled
as to constitute an undesirable mongrel
breed"
Mr.. Reed presented tables to show that
the white nations would be in the mi.
nority In the league, The table showed
that countries classified as dark" were
seventeen in number. with a population
OF sll 900. 900 while the white countries
numbered fifteen. with a population OF
only ESQ 100000.
From the foregoing table," continued
the Senator, "it appears that when the
members Of the League OF Nations meet
about the council table there viii be
fifteen men representing white nations
and seventeen men representing black
| brown. yellow and red races, and that
