in FAVOR LESS
DRASTIC MOVES
Senator McCumber, RepubIi-
can, Would Merely Define
Limitations of Congress.

Washington, Sept. Ex-senator NC
Cumber, republican, of North Da-
kota, yesterday made public and later
discussed in the senate the reserva-
ton to Article X of the league OF
nations advocated by the republican
senators favoring less drastic reser-
vations than those adopted yesterday
by the foreign relations committee,
1t would merely define the limita-
lions of congress to undertake terri
torial guarantees.
British interests at the Paris peace
conference deliberately Created diff
ferences as to their respective ideals
Of peace" between italy and the
United States for economic reasons,
State Senator H. A. Cotello, OF New
York, declared today before the sem
ate foreign relations committee. He
appeared in behalf of Italy's claims
to Fiume.
Mediterranean had been prevented
dial understanding between the
United States and italy would mean
reduction of English power in Eu-
rope"
Answering a question by Senator
Moses, republican, of New Hamp- :
shire, Senator Cotello declared that
while the people of Fiume would
trust the United States, they would
not trust to league OF nations to
procure their rights.
4 AI,ok
Italy could obtain American food and
coal "only by betrayal Of the people
Of Fiume" was cruel.
Italy Is tired of depending polit-
ically and economically upon Ger
many and is unwilling to depend on
England or France" he said.
English dominance forbids italy
to reach her development in the Med
itcrranean and tho world" he con-
tinued, and since good understand
ing between Italy and the United
States meant reducing Of British
power, obstacles had been placed at
Paris in the way of that understand
ing.
William H. Field, of New Jersey
who SAID he had been in Paris dur
ing the peace conference, said he

no one nor fight any one, but to pur-
sue the course dictated by his con-
victions on the subject.
Senator Shields declined to sub
NIT to a formal interview, but talked
freely and frankly. Asked whether
he had any Endorsements from home,
he said that he did not care to ex-
plot that feature, but admitted that
he has received hundreds of letters
and kilograms from Tennessee,
among them communications from
many Of the states prominent demo-
Gratis, indorsing his position.
The senator made 1t plain that he
is not against the treaty of peace,
nor the league of nations as such. He
intends to vote for ratification. He
will not support the Shantung
amendment, as he Is not interested
in overseas questions. but solely IN
matters which may affect Americans
in the homeland.
Reservations.
The reservations he supported In
the committee, and those he will vote
for on the senate floor, are interpre-
tations of the treaty which he says
the president himself has declared
to be his own conception of the Ian
guage of the document That being
true. the senator takes the position
that he is supporting the president
when he demands that these interpre-
tations be settled by explicit YER
oiage before the contract is signed.
The Chattanooga news. [volume] (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1891-1939, 1919-09-06

He cites the presidents statements
at the White House conference in
support Of this view, and says that
the language of the treaty and cove
nant as written, Is clearly ambiguous
because it has provoked the present
controversy in the senate and diff
ferences OF opinion among admins
tration spokesman on the floor Of the
senate.
Not Political Question.
AS to party fealty the senator
takes the position that the treaty Is
not a political question and the
president himself is now telling the
people that 1t is not partisan issue
and should not be considered by them
as democrats and republicans, but
as Americans. If it were a political
question, or If 1t is suffered to become
such through misguided zeal on
either side, the defeat of the treaty
would of course be assured, as the
republicans have a majority In the
senate.
