Illinois Man. Says Draft Is "Rather Guarantee of Empire - Than . Iieagne to Enforce Peace." WASHINGTON. May 1. Several Re publican senators of the group known as progressive let it be known today that they opposed having the league of nations covenant considered at a republican conference with a view to determining the attitude" of the party toward the document. Senators Johnson of California, Jones of Washington. McNary of Oregon and Borah of Idaho made statements de claring the league could not .be. made ft party question. , They were commenting on the action of Senator Lodge, leader, and Senator Curtis, whip, in telegraphing repub lican members of the senate to with hold expressions concerning the league until a party conference could M held. Senator Norria of Nebraska said he lid not oppose the conference, but .would refuse to be bound by any ac tion it might take. LciSie Not . Political. "I ' don't care what Mr. Lodge, Mr. Ftoot or anyone else says; it won't influence me," said Senator Johnson. "This matter transcends all other questions in importance too much to e made a party question. If any man can't determine his own attitude Upon the league he is not fit to hold Jits seat in the senate." Senator Jones said he thought it was H. mistake to inject politics into the consideration of the league of nations. Senator McNary, who recently an nounced that he would support the covenant as finally revised in Paris, criticised the sending of the Lodge Curtis telegram. "This is a matter no political party tan bind me on unless it agrees with my views." said Senator Borah. Later Senator Curtis made this state ment: v "There has been no conference of re publicans on binding the party one way or other on the league of nations. There is a general feeling among republicans here that senators should refrain from passing an opinion upon the covenant until they know just what -it contains and they won't know until it has been presented to the senate for action. "The- Lodge telegram was sent after consideration with a number of sena tors here in Washington because it was believed to be a better plan for the sen ators not to express themselves on the proposition, as it had not been studied and the amendments suggested not verified.' Senator Sherman of Illinois in a Statement late today also opposed my effort that might be made to make the league of nations a partisan issue. Foreign Complications Feared. Senator McCormlck of Illinois, repub lican, also issued a statement in which he said that the amended covenant in its present form was "rather a guar antee of empirelhan a league to en force peace." " .- "It is a triumph for Mr. Lloyd George," he said. "The 'phrase-maker of the king' is a better negotiator than the "king of phrase-makers.' Under article 10 we would still have to defend Brit ish rule in India, French rule in Africa, Portuguese rule in southern China and Japanese rule in Corea, if any of them . were threatened by the military action of neighboring African or Asiatic peo ples, seeking emancipation from foreign rule and tutelage."
