humanity. Johnson declared.
In referring to the president" address
at Omaha. Johnson quoted him as say
ing, in effect:
"The American people must accept
the foreign document which I present to
you, without Investigation, analysis,

"When did the president of the Unit

people and its congress, 'You must? "
Johnson asked.
"When the league was discussed in
Paris, Great Britain would not he a
party until Great Britain was given five
voces, and in this manner she amended
. "France would not subscribe until she
was given an offensive and defensive
alliance with the United States, and thus
she amended it
"Japan declined to' sign unless given
Shantung with its 38,000.000 Chinese. The
president yielded and thus Japan amend
ed the league.
"Just one country is denied the privi
lege by Mr. Wilson of protecting itself,
its treasure, its blood, ips future, and
that country is tne unitea states.
