the league
Most of the wars that have been
have had as their governing cause the
desire to conquer and control another
people, or to expand the territory of
the country that is the aggressor in
the war. Prevent the incentive for war
growing out of a selfish desire for ag-
gressioz1, as the overweening force of
this covenant will do, and few actual
causes of war will remain that cannot
without difficulty or danger be sub

not a theory. Time and space have
been eliminated.

Japan's signature was needed for the

League Is a Practical Step To,Uard
Peace, Asserts Senator Underwood

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Character-
lzlng the league of nations as a prac-
tlcal step toward world peace, involv-
ing no sacrifice of national sovereign
ty, Senator Underwood, Democrat, Of
Alabama, urged in the Senate to-day
acceptance of the league covenant
without amendment or reservation.
The great causes Of war;" Senator
Underwood said, may be paraphrased
in two words: National Selfshness.'
Until the civilization of the world is
prepared to dethrone its own selfish
ideals and to recognize the rights of
other peoples, the inherent causes of
war must continue to exist.
~ am not prepared to say that the
adoption of the present treaty carries
within itself the elimination of these
causes OF war, or that in the end there
will be no more wars, but | do saw
that, within the folds Of this treaty. we
lind an agreement between the great
nations Of the world that probably will
IN the future carry the questions of
national dispute to court of final
arbitration, and in many, If not most.
instances, avoid the horrors and inius,
tices of war.
"l do not regard the organization of
the league as super-government. No
super-government could exist without
power to maintain itself.l Within itself
the league has no power to levy taxes,
and without revenue a government can
not long exist. The league has no
power to raise armies and navies, and
without military forces it cannot de-
fend itself.
with the right to withdraw, 1 feel
that there is no need to fear the dan
gerous surrender of any of the funda-
mental principles and rights of the
American people. Therefore, I am
willing to take it and try it and hope
that from the seed that is planted to-
day, IN it's fruition, the final peace of
the world may be found.
Favors Small Armaments
II am more interested in the prin-
ciples enunciated in the clauses reIat
ing to the league of nations than l
am in the powers given for its govern
ment, for on these principles the future
life Of the league must depend. l
would have been glad to subscribe to
contract that would have arbitrarily
limited the armanents Of the world.
Such decree is not found within the
contract, but there is covenant that
seeks to keep the peace Of the world.
that authorizes the executive council
Of the league to consider how much tho
present ornaments of nations should
be reduced.
"Another vital principle that we are
asked to agree to is that all of the
members of the league shall submit
differences between them that are not
capable of being settled by negotia-
tion before a tribunal to be composed
of judges or arbitrators agreed to by
them, and after entering into the arbi-
tration they are required to abide by
the award.

Norris Reveals Secret Allied Pact
To GiUe Sh0ntung to Japanese

WASHINGTON, July 15.--A charge
that japan secretly obtained pledges
from Great Britain, France, Italy and
Russia early in 1917 that in the peace
settlement Shantung peninsula SHOULD,
for certain considerations, be turned
over to the Toxic government, was
made in the Senate to-day by Senator
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, who
produced what he declared to be copies
OF diplomatic correspondence embody.
ing the promises Of Great Britain and
France. These pledges, the Nebraska
Senator declared fully explained the
pressure pre- sss which resulted in shantung's
transfer to Japan. under the Versailles
treaty, whose ratification by the Senate,
he asserted. would write "the blackess
page in the nations history"
Great Britain's influence in the mat.
ter, he charged, was secured by Japan's
support of British claims to Pacific
Islands south Of the equator, while
frances aid was purchased by promise
OF tho Toxic government to help draw
CHINA into the war so that German
ships in Chinese harbors would be
available for carrying troops and pro-
visions to France.
To Vote for Amendments
Before reading tho correspondence to
which he referred Senator Norris de-
clared he was In favor OF tho general
idea Of league Of nations, but that ho
considered the Versailles covenant con-
tanned many Objectionable features and
he would vote for changes in 1t.
"Disarmament Ia recognized "a noe
essary for permanent peace" declared
Senator Norris. CONQUEST is known TO
be wrong both in principle and in prac-
tfsc. Secret treaties and secret diplo-
macy create international suspicion.
Jealousy and injustice. and arbitration
Of disputes between nations IS only
following out the principle Of justice
applied to the individual all over the
civilized world.

Grated are recognized TO be- the prin-
cipal causes Of all the wars Of history.

Washington B1tredu

WASHINGTON, July 15.- Senator
Lodge, discussing his resolution asking
the President for information regard
ing supposed treaty drawn between
Japan and Germany in 1918. declared
that the cession of German rights in
Shantung to Japan was "a price paid"
for Japan's support of the league of
nations and that all the world knew it.
~ shall discuss the question Of Shan
tung with some fulness at q later time,
but now let me say this: that there
against a great wrong like that. Po
land was partioned 150 years ago,
and that great wrong is being undone
now. The fact that we recognized Ger
many's seizure of Shantung does not
make it any better. Germany had two
missionaries killed there. She sent out
feet with Prince Henry Of Prussia
on board, and for those two mission
aries she took Kaio-chau and Using tao,
which are the great ports and harbors
Of Shantung; she took a circle about
it, the environs, and she took great
rights extending through the province
other concessions.
Charges an Agreement
Japan took that away from Ger
many, during the war. England and
France took Belgium away from Ger
many during the war, but does that
give them claim to Belgium p Japan
took Shantung and she also took the
precaution to make an agreement with
England that England would sustain
her in holding the Shantung peninsula
holding the control of it, I mean,
taking over the German lease of
ninety-nine years.
England stated that she would be
very glad to do it, it being understood
that Japan would support her in taking
the islands south Of the equator
Japan made similar arrangement
with France, that Shantung--and
use that for brevity; it means the
German lease rights-which has been
handed over to the control of Japan
and Kaio-chau and Using Tao and the
environs absolutely is not enemy terri
tory. 1t is not like Fiume, for Fiume
was enemy territory, while Shantune
was the territory of friend and ally
