 With frankness Senator Johnson told the Senate that his amendment, al ready passed over temporarily, would not be taken up now, because of an agreement. or tacit understanding with some democratsc and republicans who were not in favor of it.
 The debate which followed covered a wide range, with a technical defini- tion/ of league covenant articles and constitutional arguments. Senator Brandegee, republican, or Connecticut, and a member of the foreign relation committee, announced in the course of a speech that he would vote for all amendments and reservations and then vote against the treaty. Senator Bran degee declared he wanted to get the American army out of Europe and to keep this country from the entangle- ments an embroilments of Europe whole map now resembles a kaleid- scope"
 Declaring that nine tenths of the men who were in service were opposed to the league, Senator Brandegee said the argument that it must not be amended because that would mean
