M'CUMBER RAPS REPUBLICANS; DENIES
GREAT BRITAIN WILL HAVE SIX VOTES

Washington, Oct. 6-Denying that
Great Britain and her colonies would
have six votes in the league of ma
tions, to one for the United States.
Senator McCumber, republican North
Dakota, charged in the senate today
that senators advocating the amend
ment by Senator johnson, republican
California. proposing to limit the
voting power of the British colonies,
we're tanning popular prejudice with
an unfounded appeal.
Senators who In private conver-
sation would never dream OF at
tempting to deceive one another.
said Senator McCumber, "seem un-
able to resist the temptation to take
advantage of prejudice created by
this deception. and. with studied
avoidance of the real and full truth,
give this prejudice another boost. y
As substitute for the johnson
amendment, Senator McCumber urg-
ed his proposed reservation to ex-
clude British colonies from partici.
pating in the league in disputes in
volving the mother country or each
other.
almost every argument made on
the floor OF the senate" said Sena.
tor McCumber, ''and every one with.
out exception made to the public by
senators opposed to any league oi
nations, has given the impression tc
the people of the world that the
council or the assembly as the cast
might be. is a sort of court or tri
bunal that decides the disputes be
tween nations and 1t is because o
these mis-statements Of the facts ant
the Misrepresentation OF many of on
people arising therefrom, that tn,
ground is made fertile for the de
velopment OF about all the animosl
ties toward this league and TOWARD
the claimed voting power OF Grea
Britain.

fully understand, first, that hot one
case OF dispute out of a hundred
would ever go to the council or as
sembly, second, that, even If all other
efforts provided for the settlement of
disputes should fail, the only thing
submitted to the council or assem-
bly, is the right to investigate and
report the facts to the public"
Senator McCumber said the argu-
ment of Senator johnson and other
supporters of the johnson amend
ments was ''too absurd to be S~ne, +"
and asked why France, Italy and
other nations did not raise objec-
tions to putting their heads in the
lions mouth"
The North Dakota senator said
''the real facts" regarding the
league were:
THAT neither the council nor as
sembly is board OF arbitration.
THAT neither of them decides in.
|ternational disputes at all.
That the only jurisdiction which
the council or assembly have over 9
dispute between nations is the right
to investigate and report what the
true facts are, and make recommen
dations.
That dispute with a part of {
nation or empire is dispute with
the whole.
Great Britain cannot and will no
control the vote OF Canada"
Senator McCumber said. II woult
like to put this question straight t,
