JOHNSON SAYS
TIME EXPOSES
LEAGUE FAULTS
Declares Plea for Early
Action AS Business
Aid is Absurd.

st. Paul, MINI, Sept 19.-Sena-
tor Hiram w. Johnson of CaIifor-
mia in an address delivered to the
Minnesota legislature this after
noon presented his arguments in
opposition to the unqualified rati-
f1cation of the League OF Nations
covenant.
He charged those behind the
peace pact were endeavoring to
rush it through the senate before
the people fully understood the
provisions of it.
The senator expressed the opin-
ion that if action on the league
could be delayed so days the people
would speak in positive terms and
insist upon its defeat or amend
ment so as to protect the country's
interests.
Public sentiment against the
league is growing every day and is
fast assuming the proportions Of
revolution" said Senator Johnson.
Its friends realize that if It is nos
rushed through now before the
people have had an opportunity to
understand their cause is hopeless
That explains the haste to have it
ratified without amendment
Plea for Early Action absurd
THE statement that immediate
action is necessary to stabilize bus
mess is absurd.
The pitiless logic of events is
gradually dispelling the hale with
which its advocates have envelOped
the socialiZation of nations The
diplomacy and intrigue, the wars
and counter wars of which we
catch a hasty glimpse through a
rigorous European censorship are
slowly but surely presenting it in
its true aspect and making plain
its real design. The unbridled and
irrational emotionalism which
greeted the suggestion OF a league
to promote peace and prevent war
and which was utilized to the full
with a people sick of the carnage
of the great world conflict before
the terms of the League of Nations
were known, and before its pTovi-
sions were understood, is, with the
lapse of time, gradually passing"
II Points Lost, Claim.
He referred to the IA points
which President Wilson had declar-
ed would be incorporated in the
peace pact and asserted that he
was obliged to abandon them one
by one and accept a treaty writ
ten by European diplomats, by the
terms of which America is requir-
ed to guarantee with it's blood and
treasure for all time the division
of foreign territory and foreign
peoples.
