anti-Administration forces included the
Republicans and all the hyphenates-all
the enemy hyphenatos. He observed that

pressing our sympathy for Corea had
been presented. and said the reason
was perfectly plain. The Coreans were

country.
Quotes Lodge on Washington.
Then Mr.. williams entered on a dis
cusslon of George Wasbington's attitude
toward the treaty making powers of the
President and the Senate. quoting at
some length from Senator Lodges his
| torical writings. He showed that George
Washington had way OF being thor
oughly human, at times getting angry
and cufsing eloauently but commonly
washington was not given to expressing
his opinions very freely. Senator Will
| liams admitted that he rather liked the
human disposition of Gen, Washington
to get thoroughly angry and swear when
things did not please him, He found
good deal in common between Wood
row Wilson AMI George Washington.
'But my quarrel with Woodrow Will

think he ought to- h'.. - ..
Paying his compliments TO Senator
Borah. OF whom he declared himself to
be particularly fond. Mr.. Williams pro-
| ceeded:
But counsel him to consider the
atmosphere of the United States, the
atmosphere of the world. not exclusively
that of the Senate Chamber. l advise
the Senator IL It really is his ambition
| to be President that he take the advice
Of the people of the United States and
not of the Senate Chamber. The Sena-
| tor recently referred 10 former President
Taft as a walking corpse"
THE Senator from mississippi" sug-
gested Mr.. Borah with a Bland smile,
would not desire me to take Mr.. Taft's
advice as to how to be elected President,
would he?"
7 Senator Williams proceeded to an
| alyze the recent speech in which Senator
Reed (Mo) had made the charge that a
majority Of the nations members OF the
League Of Nations were Of the colored
| races
Says Argument II Unfsir.
Nobody is more thoroughly In favor
OF race supremacy than am" he said.
Nobody is more ardently In favor OF
race purity; but this argument is utterly
unfair. The Senator comes from State
that does not disqualify negroes from
| voting, that does not rdisQualify Hitter
ates; yet he attempts to prejudice the
South on the color question, In his
presentation OF data he was unfair. he
referred TO Cuba as colored country,
yet &c per. cent Of, the people OF Cuba
are white. Mississippi has less than so
per cent. OF white people, but it is a
part of q white mans country and 1t in
| tends to remain a white mans COM
| munity. Co.,,
| Likewise California Is a white mans
country, in which the proportion of ORR
| entail immigration is as yet compare
lively small, and. II intends to remain a
white mans country. At. any rate the
League of Nations can take no action
| affecting internal concerns OF the United
States without unanimous vote, as Is
| perfectly well known. -, .. o.,
THE Senator from, MASSACHUSETTS
| (Mr, Lodge) denounced the treaty when
the, hrst draft was presented because IT
contained no specific reservation OF the
Monroe Doctrine. Yet at the White
House conference which the Senator
| from Massachusetts attended when the
| President was asked about this he said
he presumed a specific reservation of
| the Monroe Doctrine could be included
/ II II were desired. II had been assumed
| this was amply covered in general terms.
After he went back to Paris the Presi-
| dent had inserted In the treaty a specific
reservation OF the Monroe Doctrine. and
when l learned OF 1t. knowing the Sena-
tor from Massachusetts as do. offered
| to bet a dollar against couple of
| doughnuts that the Senator would now
denounce the treaty because the Monroe
| Doctrine was specifically excepted in 1t.
Betting on q Sure Thing. ..
And it proved that I was right. As
\ a matter OF fact was not. even
gambling I was betting on a sure thing.
| 1t was certain to make no difference 10
| the Senator from Massachusetts, whether
the Monroe Doctrine was specifically eX-
| cepted or not. He would be certain 10
| take the opposite side from Woodrow
| Wilson. And was right, for later the
| Senator came back and made the air
OF the Senate chamber blue with his
denunciatton OF the President because
he did not put that specific reservation
| into The treaty"
| Then Senator Williams turned TO Mr..
Lodges speech last week in explanation
| of his vote for the resolution OF SYM
pathy for Ireland.
| Everybody knows" said Mr.. Wall
Jams, that all the Lodges and all the
Cabots always have hated the Irish and
the Irish always have hated them, be-
cause the Irish are Democrats"
| Then Senator Williams paid his per
| sonal compliments to Mr. Borah, whom
he described as altogether lovable anc
sincere, but at heart n Prussian JunkeI
Just wrong. At this point Senator
Borah, who had been sitting for lone
time with a copy OF the treaty before
him got recognition. Everybody knew
what he was about to do and interes
was keen. He began by saying that Of
course every body knew that the copy
of the treaty that he was about to reat
was authentic.
THAT can only be assured by reading
it," he said, land any Senator wh'
will now follow me as I read the docu
ment will I am confident be assures
that II is entirely authentic"
