 SIDED ARRANGEMENT
Senator New Says Wilson Has
 Made Many MiSStatementS

Washington, Sept. 2b.-Tn asserting that the British empire could not out vote the United States Tn the league of nations, under the covenant as now drawn, President Wilson "either through misunderstanding or misrep- reSentatiOn,' is misleading the Amer iCan people Senator New, republican, Indiana declared in an address today in the senate. Launching a general attack on the league as d "one sided" arrangement under which this coun- try would be required to protect the territory of other nations without recding reciprocal service from them the senator at the same time crti- czeG many details of the covenant and dWelt at length on the question of the relative vote of Great Britain and this country in the league as- semby.
 Wants More Details.
 Details are the essence of such an important matter as this. he declared, yet the president has called upon the senate to forget the details The president, he said, would substitute this phrase for the slogan of safety first" What would happen on rail- road the senator asked if it replaced
  junction to it's employees to forget the deta:ls?"
 Talks on Votes.
 Taking issue with the presidents assertion that Great Britan's six votes in the assembly would be no more powerful than the one vote of this country because action of the assembly must be by unanim ous vote the Indiana senator declared MT. Will son "overlooks the fact that in those disputes which L%m erica is directly concerned we have no vote at all." He also pointed to the provision in Article 5 under which any dispute referred to the assembly may be de- cided by majority vote and to the assembly's power of approval by @ majority vote of the four elective members of the council.
 Might Not Withdraw
 AS to the right of withdrawal. Sen ator New declared the United States would not be the sole judge of wheth- CT it had discharged it's international obligations at any time it might wish to withdraw but must submit the question to arbitration. In support of this assertion he contended that under article 3 it is "expressly stated the in
 
 any pact which might constitute a, breach of international obligation IS generally suitable for arbitration." Destination of any nation to arbitrate would mean submission of the qucs- ton to the council, he added.
 Other MiSStatcmentS.
 These are not the only misstate- ments made by the president in his recent discussion of the treaty." Sena- tor New declared. "Such addresses as MT. Wilson has made on his western trip are not entirely suitable for a se- rious and accurate discussion of question of this intricate chara cter; and we may therefore, be pardoned if we object to any statement concerning 1t which is not exactly true or the ambiguity of which leaves the public in dOubt'
 Warns of Interference.
 Warning against interference in European affairs, the senator declared entrance of the United States into the league would mean pursuance of the course which has brought the country to the point today where it has not a single friend among the nations" and this course, he said, has been followed in "utter disregard of the caution and advice of the fathers of the nation."
 'One of the simplest elements of common sense" said the senator in conclusion "is the minding of ones own business and the keeping out of other peoples business. This treaty with its league attachment provides for the systematic interference of the United States in the affairs of every other na- tion.'
