st. Paul, Sept. 19---seuator Hiram Johnson of California in an address delivered to special session of the Minnesota legislature this morning presented his arguments in opposi- ton to the unqualified rocommenda- ton of the League of Nations cove nant
 The senator expressed the opinion that if the action on the league could De delayed sixty days. the people would speak in positive terms and in sist upon it's defeat or amendment so as to protect the Country's interests.
 Public sentiment against the League is growing every day and is fast assuming the proportions of a rev oluuon,' said Senator Johnson. Its friends realize that if it is not rushed through now before the people have had an opportunity to understand it their cause is hopeless. That ex- plains the haste to have it ratified without amendment.
 ''T'he statement that immediate ac- tion is necessary to stabilize business Is absurd.
 '"The pitiless logic of events. is gradually dispellinE the halo with which it's advocates have euveloped the so-caued League of Nations.
 The diplomacy and intrigue, the wars and counter wars of which we catch a nasty glimpse through a rig orous European censorship are slowly but surely presenting it in its true aspect and making plain it's real de- sign. The unbridled and irrational emotionalism which greeted the sug- gestion of a league to promote peace | and prevent war and which was utilized to the full with a people sick l of the carnage of the great world l conflict before the terms of the League of Nations were known and before it's l provisions were understood is. with | the lapse of time. gradually passing.
