Canada's Minister
Opposes Taft Plan

OTTAWA. Ont, July c6.--That
William Howard Taft's suggested
reservations would absolutely ex.
clude Canada from distinctive rep.
resentation on the council OF the
league OF nations for all time, was
the assertion made by C. ]. Doherty.
minister of justice. and one Of the
signatories for Canada.
"A reservation such as Mr.. Taft
Is stated to have suggested would
involve modification of the covenant
upon a matter which formed a most
material condition OF the assent
thereto of British dominions. and
Canada in particular" said Doherty.
"The right of Canada as a member
of the league to be eligible for rep.
resentation on the council was clear.
ly understood and unequivocally rec.
ognized by all concerned.
A reservation In effect negativing
that right would involve change
in the contract after acceptance and
signature by all parties. As such
1t is clearly inadmlssible and not
distinguishable from a refusal to
rat!fy."

SCORES ENEMIES
OF The LEAGUE
Refusal Would Betray Civil
zation, Says Senator

WASHINGTON. July 26.--Refusal
by the senate to ratify the league
of nations covenant would be n
shameful betrayal of civilization at
the greatest crisis In history" de.
clared Senator Smith. Arizona, In a
senate speech.
Smith said league opponents for
partisan purposes are trying TO
frighten the American people with
'spectres and COLLINS"
May God have mercy on the man
who would willingly place party
success above the peace and pros
perity OF his country" said Smith.
1T seems pitiable to me that men
can be found willing by any pre-
tense. or under any conviction, or
for any purpose, to throw away this
first real chance OF the world TO
better the conditions on IL.
why all this clamor about a
treaty amending our constitution
Why all this gross exasgeration
about this covenant changing our
form 90 government?
why this desperate delusion OF
a super.sovereignty being erected on
the ruin of our revered constitution?
"A superstate indeed.
Without citizen or subject
with no local habitation or a name
no geography, or navy, no treas
ury. no power to declare war. make
peace or levy taxes. And such II
the scarecrow that prejudice or per.
sonal hate Is holding up to the
frightened gaze OF those who are
oftentimes willing victims"
