This movement is backed with
great resources and ample funds"
Senator Poindexter opened the aT-
tack on the League OF Nations IN
violation OF the Presidents request
that debate be suspended until he
could confer with Senator'S and Repre-
sentatives. The attack was begun,
he said. because the freest discuss
sion is necessary" While opponents
Of the league are asked to keep silent.
proponents are busfly arguing for
approval OF the constitution, he de-
clared.
Five Specific ObJeetIOns.
Five specific objections were male
by Senator Poindexter. They were:
First. the surrender to the league Of
determination OF the degree Of disar-
mament as required by the constitu-
ton:
Second. compulsory arbitration Of
az questions OF every kind, without
exception;
Third. commitment Of every ma
ton to participate in. wars and con-
troyersies of every other nation and
the assumption OF guardianship OF
peoples Of Europe. Asia, and Africa.
Fourth, the formation Of an inter-
national labor bureau to deal with in
ternal, social, economic, and indus
trial problems.
Fifth, the surrender Of the power
to regulate commerce with foreign
nations in arms and ammunition to
the league.
Poindexter laid great stress upon
the fact that no provision is made for
the withdrawal OF any nation from
the league after once having entered
it. This, he said, would inevitably
lead to war, just as the civil war in
the United States was brought on by
the denial Of the right of certain
States to secede from the Union.
Thinks Articles UnfenRbIe.
On their face, he said, several OF the
articles Of the constitution cannot be
kept He cited possible situations I'm
which the United States might be in

said could not be submitted to a league

questions, he said, would involve the
United States in war with all other ma
tons on the face Of the earth.

The South faces a serious shortage
IN agricultural labor during the
aming season, according to present
dications, officials of the Federal
oloyment service stated today.
ne reason for this shortage, while
r sections of the country are
flowing with labor, is that a
ority of the negroes who
adhered a gun are refusing to go
to the cotton fields. The lure
igher wages in the Northern in
rial centers is attracting them,
ough there is already an over
ly of labor in these places. Many
rs came North because of the
b wages paid for war work.
Shortage viii Be Acute.
