Refuses to Let Party Con
sideration Influence
Hb Attitude
WASHINGTON. June 18. The
league of nations was supported in
the senate today by Senator McCum
ber of North Dakota, a Republican
member of the foreign relations
committee, who argued in a three
hour speech that the league covenant
offered a just and practicable plan
for the preservation of world peace.
Senator McCumber replied to ar
guments of Senator Knox of Penn
sylvania and other Republican lead
ers and declared he could not be In
fluenced against the league by party
consideration.
"Partisan that I am." he asserted.
"I do hope I shall never be so hide
bound or so 'blinded by party exl-
Kency as to oppose a Just position
taken of a truth declared by a mem
ber of any opposition party. I could
not cast my vote against any respon
sible plan for the preservation of
world peace without a conviction
that would follow me to the grave
that I had committeed an trnpardon-
aoie orrense against air future gen
erations."
Opponents are Scored
Senator McCumber charged there
naa been a campaign of misrepresen
tatlon against the league. He op
posed any proposal calculated 'to
sound the death knell to any theme
to preserve peae." The resolutions
of Senator Knox would delare the
senate's opposition to ratifying the
jeague covenant along with the peace
terms.
senator McCumber uphold the
league as entirely consistent with
the American constitution and devoid
of any abPity to entangle dangerous
ly or curtail American interests.
"That some terms of the covenant
are vague 1 know." continued the
senator, "and some portions are-ob
jectionable from particular view
points. But that it discriminates
against us or that it imposes on us
any obligation or burden that la not
equally borne by every other nation
I most emphatically deny. It Is re
grettable that the mighty power of
eloquence is used to defame and dis-
tvr the true meaning of an instru
ment, the most important that evei
appealed to the heart or the soul
of men.
War Only Alternative.
"Suppose we refuse to join with
the rest of the world in some scheme
to prevent war. what will happen. As
surely as the sun shall rise, everv
great nation will proceed to devise
means for the wholesale destruction
of nations. So desperate will be the
next war that all the hate and all
the venom created by this struggle
will be infinitesimal compared with
the next. And. against what race
will all these weapons of death be
used? -Again the white race.
Quoting the declaration of Sena
tor Johnson. Republican, of Califor
nia, that America by virtue of her
isolation does not need the Euro
pean powers "as partners." Mr. Mc
Cumber said isolation had long since
broken down, a European quar.el
having coit this country in the past
five years 50.000 lives and $45.
000.000.000. There is no moral du
ty incumbent upon any man "in his
relation to his fellow man. he con
tinued, that Is not equally incumbent
upon a nation in its iealtion to ever
other nation.

Certain Defeat of
Effort to Exempt
Beer, Wine is Seen
WASHINGTON. June 18. .
Certain defeat for efforts to
have' congress exempt beer and
wine from operation of the
war-time prohibition law was
seen In an overwhelming Tote
of 65 to 11 in the senate late
today against an exemption
proposal. i
By that margin the senate
tabled a motion by Senator
Phelan. Democrat of Califor
nia, to add 4 rider to the agri
cultural appropriation for ap
plication of the war-time pro
hibition law to distilled spirits
alone. The sentiment of the
senate thus expressed in the
Xlrst test vote of this congress
was taken generally to sound
the death knell for measures
designed to permit the se of
beer and wines under the war
time legislation.! ( !
A new tack was taken In the
house, however, by advocates of
suspension of the war-time pro
hibition law's provisions i inso
far as they .. affect . beer and
wines. The house judiciary com
mittee received! and agreed to
vote next Saturday on an
amendment r by RepiVsentative
Gard. Democrat of Ohio, to pro
hibition enforcement legislation
which would authorize the
president to stspend the war
time ban on beer and wines.
