WILSON EXPLAINS
 RULE OF LEAGUE
Declares Unanimous Decision of League Removes National Danger = Amendments Are Discussed.

Spokane, Wash.,s Sept. 12.-Reply- ing here today to objections that Great Britain would have prepon- derance of voting power in the league of nations assembly, President Will son said any possible danger on that score was removed by the fact that decisions must be unanimous.
 The speech here was the second the president made during the day. He spoke this morning at Occur d'Alene, Idaho, making an invasion of the state represented by United States Senator Borah in the Senate. At Occur d'Alene, the tent in which he spoke was not entirely filled. Here in the armory every seat was taken.
 The league of nations assembly, the president declared, was largely a debating body" and seldom would act on important questions and when it did the United States with it's one vote would have an absolute veto'' under the rule requiring unanimous vote.
 There was only one case in which the assembly could decide an inn portant question, he said, and that when such a question was unanimous ly referred to it by the council. The assembly also must act unanimously, he added, so that in either council or assembly, the one vote of the United States would constitute veto power MT. Wilson also discussed at length proposed reservations to the treaty and asked for it's unqualified accept ance.
 He asked the Republicans present not ito think of 1920 when thinking of the redemption of the world" add | ing that he himself did not for mo- ment do so.
 MT. Wilson said he saw no moral objections to interpretations which wnold not change the meaning of the document, but added that such step would be merely to say that the Unit ed tates understands the treaty te mean what it says.
 Many men had said to him, con tinued the president, q am Repub l lican, but I am in favor of the league

SAYS LANSING
 OPPOSES TREATY
p.ace Conference Expert Makes Sensational Charge-Repeats Paris Conversation With Sec retary of State.

Washington, Sept 12.-The bald
 ...ertion that Secretary Lansing op-
 ,osed ratification of the peace treaty

 though he was member of the Amer

 4 was flung today before the Senate
 toreiqn relations committee by Wm.
 q Bullitt of Philadelphia, formerly
 employed by the mission at Paris in
 i confidential capacity.
 The testimony, purporting to give Mir. Lansing's private opinion ex-
 oressed in a. conversation with the
 witness the day the latter resigned from the mission because he was not in sympathy with the treaty or the hague, popped out suddenly and sen sationally. Bullitt had just expressed reluctance at the idea of revealing any part of private conversation with the peace commissioners, and members of the committee quite agreed with this view.
 Near the close of three-hour hearing, however, Chairman Lodge asked how the treaty and it's cove nant was regarded at Paris. Secre- tary Lansing, Henry White and Gen. Bliss, all members of the American commission, expressed vigorous opinions," Bullitt said, adding, in re- ply to an inquiry by the chairman, that these opinions were not enthus- iastic
 i. Then from a memorandum of the Conversation, dictated, he said, while 1t was fresh in his mind, Bullitt quoted the secretary on many points, saying that Mir. Lansing opposed the award of Shantung to Japan, that he considered the league thoroughly bad, that the large nations would pay lit tie attention to the small nations, and that the world had been arranged ac- cording to the desires of the big na- tions at the peace conference.
 The most sensational statement at ltributed by the witness to the secre- tary of state was that "if the Senate and the American people knew what the treaty meant it woudl be defeat ed.' Senator Knox really would un- derstand the treaty, MT. Lansing said, according to the witness, and "Mr. Lodge would, but MT. Lodges position would become purely political"
 There was no Democratic senator in attendance when this testimony was given nor at other times during the hearing, and nobody took up the cudgels for the American commission CT. When news of Bullitt's testimony
