the council the United States, the
British empire, France. italy and
Japan, and as temporary members
Brazil, Belgium, Greece and Spain.
II names as members of the assem-
bly, all the members of the league.
By this covenant six votes are
given the British empire in the as
sembly to one for the United States.
The six British votes are those Of
the British empire, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, South Africa
and India, Nor is that the worst.
The assembly has the power to
elect the four temporary members
of the council. Therefore, the way
is open for the British empire in
the future to secure four more
votes in that body, or five in the
council to the United States one.
In short, by President wilson's
covenant, the submission of the
United States to the superior Brit
ish authority with the direct posi-
BILE consequences is made complete.
In diplomatic history, prior to
the league of nations. there is no
record of ruler sacrificing his
own country to this extent, sur
rendering In it's name equality, con-
Tossing in it's name inferiority, re-
cording the degradation in a SOL
emn treaty, publishing the treaty
to ne world, and then in cold
blood defending his acts before the
very people who he had been will
ing to humiliate and betray,
What did Mr.. Wilson's surrender
to the British empire mean to the
United States? How does he de-
fend it? What did the republican
senators do to offset it? These
questions must be answered. They
are vital. The perils of Mr.. Will
sons surrender are still with us.
Not only does he insist upon COM
hitting American interests to Brit
ish hands. but Mr.. Cox, the dem
ocratic candidate for the pres!-
dency, has avowed the same pot
icy by declaring himself in favor
Of the whole covenant without es-
sential reservations. When you
hear Cox you hear the masters
yoice-Woodrow Wilson.
Say G.. o. II. Is Boss-Riddcn.
The democrats complain about
the republican party being boss
ridden. 1t is true that there are
many bosses in the republican
party. You may find them in ev-
cry precinct. In fact, every re-
publican is a boss unto himself, but
nothing in all history has ever
compared with the bossism of the
democratic party. The democrats
have but one boss. He not only
has undertaken to boss the demo-
cratic party and all the affairs OF
the United states, but has also
launched a formidable scheme Sor
bossing the world. 49,

senate on october 25, 1919, senator
Henry Cabot Lodge said:
81 find no fault with Great BRIT
ain because it was her. draft whlcn
was taken as its basis; that was
wholly within her right. ! flfld no
fault whatever with the fact tha'
the secretary general of the league
which is the most important of1lce
and its occupant the man who VIII
have the greatest influence of any
one else. Is Sir Eric Drummond, or
that Sir Herbert Ames of Toronto,
canada. should be the financial d.
rector of the permanent secretariat
Of the league, but tire IS one
point. Mr.. President, at which l
stop. / do not think that she, or
any other country should have
more votes in the league of nations
than We have. You may turn II
