NJ. Davidson made that statement
III substance and effect, before a com
| mIttee of the United States senate
and if there is in this room any mar
; who doubts that statement, all he has
to do is to write to his own senator
either Senator Pheiar or Senate,
Johnson, and ask for the document
that contains Mr.. Davidson's testi-
mon.
Now, this vast God of money has
been expended. Mr.. Taft boasted that
ne had eight thousand lecturers, three
thousand ministers Of the Gospel, and
! lmost an innumerable army of publ
lists who were working for his league,
All this was organized partly out of
he money of Carnegie, whose pen
;ioner Mr.. Taft is today, to the
lmount of $4,000 a year, and Mr.
carnegie was the original organizer
+ the peace movement, as you know,
nd had an organization spread over
ne world with branches in every
ouatry. So, it is not hard to under
tand why there has been misunder-
itanding.
League Com position.
But now let rs come down to the
acts. The Leauge of Nations is COM
osed at present of thirty-two nations,
,ach of these thirty-tWo nations has
ne representative on the league, so
hat the United States in all her inter
iational affairs should be represented
" only one man. At the present time
ur international affairs are in charge
of the president and in charge of the
senate, which has two representatives
from every state, as everybody knows.
Back of that is the house of represent
atives, which frequently has a wide
control, through its power to appropri-
ate money or to pass legislation. But
the first proposition is, sitting on this
great international world-control body
America shall be represented by only
one man. | would not put that much
power in any man ever born, or anv
woman. Are you willing to? (Cries
If mo, nO.")
Members of League
Now, right at that point: Who are
he members Of this league ?-bearing
n mind, now, that we each have one
representative, and there are two bod
es of control--one the council and the
,ther the assembly. The assembly is
omposed of each of these thirty-two
nations; the council is composed of
inc men. Five of these men repre-
ent governments permanently-Jap-
n, Great Britain, France, Italy and
he United States; the other four
nembers are elected from time TO
ime by the assembly. Thirty-two
nen. then constitute the assembly.
And who are they? Who are these
o-partners Of ours in the world gov
rnment? Let me read you: Liberia,
With total civilized or partly civil
zed population OF $4,000, and with an
aggregate population of two million,
'ut only fifty thousand of those ne
roos aIe civilized CT pretend to he;
MY twelve thousand of them are
Afro-Americans; and in the interior
t Liberia cannibaiism is still prac-
iced, and vet Liberia has the same
,ote in the assembly as the United
states has. Haiti, that Black Repub-
c, so-cailed, that established Itself
V assignation, is another OF our CO.
}artners. One night they killed every
'renchman, woman and child, down to
he sucking babe, ard set up their So
allied Black Republic. Read your En-
yclopedia Bditannica and YOU will
md that in the interior OF that island
hey are relapsirp into old African
abarism, and thai Buddhist rites are
racticed, and that they sacrifice their
wn babes in their heathenish cere-
lonias.
And there is Hcjaa. New, who ever
card Of Heiez until we got into this
hing? 1t has a total population OF
hree hundred thousand onc-haif of
Yhom are wandering Eedouins of the
lesert, and have been ever since the
ays of Mohammed, and who make
heir living. largely by highway rob
jery Of the pious pilgrims who go to
,isit the shrine of TIE prophet. The
ling Of that country is in the pay OF
Great Britain, receiving S150,000 q
7ear. The total ropuiaton Is about
ne-half the population of this city
and yet they have vote in the
League of Nations equal to the
United States, in the Assembly. Beal
in mind that-for I do not propose tC
have anybody misrepresent R1e, and
will tell you about the assembly in {
little bit.
