SIX VOTES ARGUMENT
SHOWN TO Be FRAUD
BY SENATOR M'CUMBER
Prominent Republican Senator
Shows That the United
States Will Have All Advan-
tage in Assembly.

(From speech In the senate Oc-
tober 6. 1919. by =. J. McCumber,
Republican. United States Senator
from North Dakota).
And now comes the johnson am
endment and demands that the Unit
ed States shall have six votes on every
dispute and each of these other coun-
tries but one vote. And, Mr.. Presi :
dent, the very Senators who are maxi
ing this most selfish demand are
shouting from the housetops that
Great Britain has packed the jury be.
cause Canada and Australia, not as a
part of Great Britain but as wholly
self-g governing nations, who fought
this grim war to a finish. demand and
receive u recognition on matters u
which Great Britain is not n party, a
recognition equal TO that Of a score OF
other little Insignificant States that
never turned hand to safeguard the
world when all that civilization holds
dear was at stake. The only nation
that would hold real advantage
over the other nations in this league
is the United States OF America.
BY virtue of our peculiar situation
we would have an advantage over
not only Great Britain but over every
other nation in the world. We not
only enter this league with specia
reservations in our favor, such as that
relating TO the Monroe doctrine, bu
also other proposed reservations in
, tended to relieve us from duties i'm
posed on our allies. But these are tn,
least important of our advantages
The far greater advantage lies in tn,
fact that we shall, by reason OF oul
relationship with other countries
control an overwhelming voting
strength in every controversy.
At mere nod United States ouI
begotten child Panama, our foster
child Cuba, our wards Nicaragua, Hal.
u, Guatemala, Honduras, Uruguay
Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and even Bra
, iii declared war ON Germany. II By
the mere raising of a finger these II
countries declared war against q
country that had certainly commit
ted no offense against them, can any
unprejudiced mind fail to understand
that in every controversy that can az
feet our interest in the remotest de
gree the votes of all these States viii
be cast en- bloc for whatever we may
desire?
Yes, Mr.. President, not only these
countries but practically every coun-
try in the Western Hemisphere would
follow our lead.
Talk about Great Britain having an
advantage. Why. MIR. President, IL
Great Britain should have a quarrel
with Guatamala about an oil lease.
Great Britain and her dominions
would be eliminated. But these chill
dren and step-ehlldren and wards of
the United States. numbering score,
would follow the lead of this great
country just as surely as the stalllte
follows the course OF the planet.

The Man TO Meet ANY Emergency.

The Man 10 Meet Any Emergency.
In 1913, during his first term, Ohio

floods in the history of the country. 1t
was matter Of speculation how the
new governor would meet the situa-
ton The answer was written after
ward in New York newspaper:
The man who dominated the sit

has been not only chief magistrate and
commander in chief, but the head of
the life-saving service. the greatest
provlder of food and clothing the state

officer, the sanest counsellor. the Sc
yerest disciplinarian, the kindest phi

THAT PEACE RESOLUTION.

Uncertainty exists here as to
what will be the ultimate fate in
the senate of the so-called peace
resolution which leaders in the
upper chamber have failed to
press for consideration up to this
time. Although this resolution
passed the house by a partisan
vote early in April, the Republi-
can majority in the senate APP

emergency measure.
One of the strongest house ar
guments designed to show the
futility of the passage of such
resolution was that presented by
Representative A. w. Barkley, of
Kentucky, one Of the constitu-
tional lawyers of the lower cham
ber Contending that the peace
resolution would be ineffective,
even if adopted, and that con
grcss had nothing to do with
making peace by mere resolu-
ton Representative Barkley said
in part:

be signed by the president, or if
he vetoes it and it should pass
over his veto, then do our Re-
