declared that Senator Hitchcock had
"lost his temper
The measure which brought the
issue before the Senate was the reso.
luton Of Senator Johnson, Republican,
OF Califol MIA, requesting from the
State Department the full text of the
peace treaty. There was no attempt
to reach a vote on the resolution, on
which debate began last Friday, and
the measure went over again as un-
finished business to come up when
the Senate reconvenes Wednesday.
Without speaking directly on the
Johnson resolution, Senator Reed
made a general attack upon the
league covenant itself as a proposal
to hand over control of the white
race and the civilized world to an as
sembly Of nations where a majority
always could be brought together on
any race question in opposition to
white supremacy. He declared sup
port of the league plan never could
be explained at home by Senators
from the South, with It's negro prob
lem, or from the West with it's Chi
nese and Japanese prcelems. Turning
dramatically to his Democratic col
leagues, he continued:
eff a Republican President had
brought it here-if Roosevelt had
brought it here-there isn't Demo-
crat that wouldn't have been stand
ing by my side fighting to the last
ditch to rescue the country from 80
monstrous and so cruel thing"
Southern Democrats Chided.
Southern Democrats particularly
were chidcd for refusing to recog-
niZe the negro as an equal at the
ballot box, but at the same time ac-
r"pting South Africa and other ma
tions where the black race predomi-
mates as members OF the league as
semb'v on an equality with the
United States.
You thing you can control the
vote Of the Black race" he asserted,
but on any question Of race equality
you never will be able TO do it,"
To supnort his prediction that the
black. yellow red and brown races
would combine to embarass the white
race, Senator Reed cited the amend

BITTERNESS MARKS
DEBATE ON LEAGUE
Reed Starts Discussion COlored BY
Dramatic Accusations
MR.. HITCHCOCK TO DEFENSE
Exchanges Become so Heated the
Chairman Has to Rap for
Order.

Washington, May 26.-The league
of nations was debated in the Senate
again today with an increasing show
of bitterness.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Of Mis-
souri,, attacked the proposal in such
vigorous terms that he aroused re-
peated objections from Senators sup
porting it and developed running
debate colored by dramatic accusa-
tions and heated retorts. The Missou-
ri Senator declared the league would
place the destinies Of this white race
in the hands of ignoranc and super
stitious nations of black and yellow
population, and charged that many
Democrats were supporting it for par
tiSan reasons.
In I equent Interruptions Of the
Missouri Senator's speech, Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking Dem
ocrat of the foreign relations commit
tee, insisted that the premises for
these charges were false and that the
differences drawn were unfair and
dangerous. He drew in turn a reply
from Senator Knox, Of Pennsylvania,
who suggested that supporters of the
league covenant should read it before
they discussed it.
Calls for OrGer.
So heated did the exchanges be-
come at one point that the chair
raped for order and Senator Reed

ment offered by Japanese delegates
at Paris to the league covenant guar
antceing race equality. Although the
amendment failed. he caid, the jap
anese delegates reserved the right to
bring it later before the league for
determination.
Senator Reed also quoted from a pc
rlodical published by negroes in this
country passage declaring league
OF nations or some other "interna-
tlonal power" to be absolutely "nec-
essar yfor the salvation of the negro
race in view of treatment of the
negroes in the United States and
South Africa.
Mass Of Statistics.
In his speech of nearly three hours
Senator Reed presented mass of
statistics and other information re-.
gardlng the smaller members of the
league. The members nations in which
the white race was predominant, he
said, totalled in population only 28o.-
4S8,90O, while those four other races
are in the majority with population
OF 81 ,425,OO0. He said white nations
would have fifteen votes in the
league and other nations seventeen,
AS the nations where white blood
does not predominate, the Senator
named Liberia, Haiti, Hedjaz, Pana-
ma, Honduras, Nicaragua. Guatamala,
Ecuador, Cuba, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil,
South Africa, Siam, India, China and
Japan. In these countries, he asserted.
the average of illiteracy is IS per
cent and he quoted extensively from
reference works to show that many Of
them are Oyprrun with cunorst ;t;o,,

TO CONTINUE "WAR BEER"

New York, May 23.-Uninterupted
production of "war beer" until the
courts have passed upon the claims
of the United States Brewers Asso-
citation that the beverage, containing
3-4 per cent alcohol is -intoxi-
eating, was assured today when Fed
eral Judge Mayer granted an injunc-
ton restraining government interfcr-
ence with its manufacture.
The court declared that his dcci-
sion had been influenced by Presi-
dent Wilson's message to Congress
recommending repeal of the war time
prohibition act in so far as it relates
to beer and wine, and by Federal
Judge A. n. Hands ruling last week
that the law placed ban on the
manufacture only on liquors that were
in fact, Intoxicating. Judge Mayer
said he would sign The injunction
Monday.
