SENATOR JOHNSON
ATTACKS PRESIDENT
Charges Wilson With Sur
rendering to Japan's
Secret Treaty.

Senator Johnson of California, re-
puollcan' in statement today
charged that President Wilson has
reversed his stand on secret treaties
IN the F1ume dispute and had sur
rendered without the sem blance of
contest to Japan in the controversy
over the disposition of Shantung by
winch he said millions of Chinese
were delivered into bondage.
"A week ago." Senator johnson
SAID out of the darkness the plot
and counter-plot, the cunning intrigue
and bargaining of the peace con1er-
ence there came a ray of light when
the president denounced secret
treaties. His press agents told US
how firmly he would stand against
Italy's secret treaty and Japan's worse
secret treaty. Within a week after
an imitation barrage upon racial
equality, the Japanese boldly made
their demands, and without the sem
blance of a contest, apparently the
president forgets his words which we
were still re-echoing and abjectly
surrenders.
This is simply another concrete il
lusion of the league of nations
Debtor nations requiring economic
aid must yield but the powerful and
threatening member of the league
will obtain by the strong arm exactly
what it demands.
Here at stake is large province
of China and 4O,OOO,OOO of peoples.
Japan had pledged her word to the
world at large and specifically to the
United States at, the time of the TAX
ing of the province to return to China.
Under her secret agreem ents she de-
mands that she may break her
plighted faith and keep this land
and people and a peace conference
pledged to self determination, justice
to the protection of weak nation:
against strong, forgets its principles
and protestations and delivers into
bondage millions of helpless people,
