Senator Says Only Excuse is
Order Issued by Allied COun-
Gil in Europe.
Special DespotcA to TEE suS.

WASHINGTON, April 10.--An illustra-
ton OF how American soldiers under thc
plan for a League OF Nations might be
used in the future to settle European
difheuities was pointed out to night In
statement by Senator johnson tCaL)
calling attention TO the situation In
northern Russia. lie said:
Before me is a letter from an officer
Of tho American forces in north -sussia.
II tells Of the hardships and tho dangers
and OF the terrible suffering of American
boys, of fighting In the snow with
Temperature of ~ degrees below zero OF
the wounded falling and freezing 20
death; OF the poor rsions and lack OF
clothing of the harshness of their Brit
n commanders, &c.
The story makes an American hang
his head in shame. The only explsna-
ton is that recently given by the Secre-
tary OF War that the matter Is in the
kands of the allied council In Europe
Before US concretely here Is n League OF
Nations. This league governed by the
Allied council decreed the Russian ad-
vcnture. The United States objected and
for six months resisted. Tho United
States was outvoted and finally its oppo-
sttion was broken down and the decree
~ foreign nations against the wishes of
those in command of our Government
carried out.
american boys were sent to northern
Russia under British command and
american soldiers sent to Siberia under
Japanese commanders. American boys
are lighting in north Russia under Brit
1eh command against Overwhelming odds
apd to the agonized appeals of their
4thers and mothers and wives the an
yer OF our Government Is the matter is
70 the control of allied council-the ex-
Wing League of Nations.
"If the American people desire war
let II be declared. and II declared by
Congress the soldiers sent to fight 1t
would be amply supported. but under
the orders OF foreign nations Americans
wage war without declaration by the
American Congress or the consent Of
the American people. Five months after
the end of that war for which they en-
listed they are fighting another war.
This Is not q question OF Bolshevism
or Of fighting the horrible doctrines OF
Lenine and Trotzky. This liz ,waging a
war with American blood on foreign
sofia war undeclared by America but
decreed by foreign council It points
concretely the League Of Nations. Can
Americans sec only a corridor from Po-
, land to the sea, only the Saar Valley
or the Dalmatian coast?
Are we deaf to the appeals OF our
own blood. blind to their sufferings
Not 80 with our neighbors. Canada de-
mands the return Of her soldiers. They
are even now leaving forever Siberia.
American boys remain there under Jap
nnese command. Americans are fighting
and dying In northern Russia under
British command. In the composite
world banner Old Glory Is forgotten.
Unfurl the American tag and let's be
Americans againi"
