Of Tfotsky, Senator Lodge, repub-
lican leader. asserted in a speech to
the senate today.
Criticism OF the proposed constitu-
tion, Lodge said, however, does not
extend to all plans for league Of
nations.
s.nrerybody hates war and longs
to make It impossible" said Lodge
"We ought to lay aside once and for
all the evil suggestion that because
men may differ as to the best method
of assuring the worlds peace in the
future, anyone is against permanent
peace If it can be obtained among
all the nations of mankind.
Il will follow any man and vote
for any measures which in my hon
est opinion will make for mainte-
| nance Of the worlds peace. / will
follow no man and vote tor no meas
| ures which, however well intended,
seem in my best Judgment to lead
| to dissensions rather than to har-
mony among the nations, or to the
peril. injury or injustice to my coun-
try"
Lodge said that in a matter 80
vital to all the world there should
be no foggy meanings, no need lot
| explanations. The agreement, he
said must be so plain and so ex-
plicit that no man can m1sunder-
stand 1t"
"In the draft prepared for con-
| stitution of league Of nations there
1 is hardly a clause about the inter
| pretation Of which men do not al

! danger that the very nations which
