OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 16.-Canada
was unof1icially on record today as
opposed to ratification OF the league
Of nations pact if the United States
senate adopts the Lenroot reserva
ton to the peace treaty.
Speaking at a mass meeting OF war
veterans last night, N. w. Rowell
president Of the privy council and
acting secretary of state for internal
affairs, said:
IF the United States senate should
adopt the Lenroot reservation either
in its original form or amended as
now suggested, and should also adopt
the preamble as proposed, Canada,
as one of the nations OF the British
empire and party to the treaty
would be called upon to decide what
action she should take under these
conditions There can be no possible
doubt what Canada's decision would
be. She cannot and will not consent
to any impairment Of her status and
voting rights under the treaty.
Therefore when final action is
taken by the government OF the

Threatened to bring the treaty fight
ito a quick climax by demanding that
1.-THE reservation on Article x be taken
Iup first, when debate is resumed this
AFTERNOON.
The plans OF Senator Lodge, repub'

all minor reservations leaving the
question of Article x until the last.
Senator Hitchcock, democratic leader,
however, was prepared to urge that
Article x come first, that IL the SEN
ate can agree on this, 1t can soon dis
pose Of other resolutions, but If 1t
cannot agree on Article x it would
be foolish waste Of time to adopt q
minor reservation and then have it
fail. Hitchcock submitted this view
Ito other democratic leaders today
and IL they agree with him he will
raise the point when Lodge calls up
the treaty at two p. M. he said.
Today's program, as arranged by
Lodge. consists OF formal submission
of proposed amendments. the league
reservations and two formal
speeches. Senators Mccormick and
Sherman, Illinois. are scheduled to
speak, Lodge said today he did not
expect an attempt to vote on reserva-
tons for several days.

ground that the affair was matter

over the causes underlying the resig-

that he will not listen to advice, the

the events which led up to Lansing'a

Of the nation have been trying to

| 60 round" And we have women
hesitant, timid, doubling themselves
not using the brain, the conscience,
| the power they have.
The men Of the nation are now
admitting that women are worthy OF
the vote. But we women have still
| to prove that we are qualified for ad-
ministrative work within the parties.
It is all right to go to political din
ners and hear the party platforms
discussed, but we must persist In
| going where we are not so welcome
right into the innermost circles where
the candidates are being chosen.
There is a kind Of stand-pat part1-
