Gratis were supporting 1t for partisan
reasons.
In frequent Interruptions of the
Missouri senator's speech. Senator
ocrat of the foreign relations COM
mittee, 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. republican, of
Pennsylvania, who suggested that
supporters of the league covenant
should read it before they discussed
it.
Call Made for Treaty Text.
The measure which brought the
league issue before the Senate was
the resolution of Senator Johnson,
republican. of California redues sting
from the State Department the full
text of the peace treaty. There was
no attempt to reach vote on the
resolution yesterday.
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
assembly of nations. where major
ity 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 problems.
Dramatic Plea to Democrats.
Turning dramatically to his demo-
cratic colleagues. he continued:
IT republican President had
brought it here-if Roosevelt had
brought it here-there isn't a demo-
crat that wouldn't have been stand
ing by my side fighting to the last
ditch to rescue the country from so
monstrous and cruel thing"
Southern democrats particularly
were chided for refusing to recog
rize the negro as an equal at the
ballot box. but at the same time ac-
cepting South Africa and other ma
tions where the black race predomi-
mates as members of the league as
sembly on an equality with the
United States.
"You think you can control the
vote of the black race" he asserted.
But on any question of race euua.-.
ity you never will be able to do it,"
