DEBATE RACES
IN THE SENATE
ON Amendment

Washington, Oct. 23.--While debate
ragged on the senate floor over the
johnson treaty amendment today
Democratic and Republican leaders
work ed strenuously in cloak rooms to
line up their forces on their proposed
reservations.
No vote was expected till tomorrow
on the Johnson amendment
Further resolutions will be present
ed by the foreign relations committee
late today.
Senator Johnson making a final plea
for his amendment to equalize voting
strength in the league, declared that
he introduced it with the most i'm
plicit faith that it would be accepted
by the senate with enthusiasm and ae-
clamation.
Il find that / am sadly mistaken"
said Johnson. There are gentlemen
in this senate who refuse to their
country that which is assumed by an
other.'
This right which is not denied the
United States in England, Canada, or
any other country is denied in the
United States senate" declared John
son as he read from English papers
articles which said that the United
States is entitled to equal representa-
tion.
There are three reasons why this
amendment should be accepted de-
clared johnson.
'First--It is right and just.
"Second--The self respect of Ameri-
Ca demands 1t.
Lenroot, Wisconsin, opposing the
Johnson amendment declared reserva-
tions must be accepted ''or the treaty
will fail"
Allies must give consent to reserva-
tions either implied or expressed be

of amendments without reopening
