WILSON REPLIED TO BY SENATOR Borah and Sherman Attack ' Statements While McCum ber Takes Rap at Adopted Resenratlons to Treaty PRESIDENT ACCUSED OF 4 USURPATION OF POWER Attitude on Labor Conference Held to Be Disregard of Law i WASHINGTON, Sept. S.rr-Presi- dent Wilson's addresses to the coun try in support of the treaty and the league of nations evoked - DromDt and spirited replies today from the! senate floor. j. Senators Borah, Idaho and Sher man, Illinois, Republicans assailed Statements by the president at In dianapolis and Columbus. On the Other hand Senator McCumber, Re publican. North Dakota, attacked the JO reservation adopted yest'rday by the foreign relations committee and presented fix substitute, reser vations regarded as expressing view? of Republican senators favoring res ervations of a "mild' type. Rorah Charges Power Abuse r Referring to the president's state ment at Indianapolis that . under the league "we can mind other people's Business," Senator Borah criticized American military operations in Rus sia, declaring such to be "a usurpa tion of power," without authority Vnder the constitution and for the purpose of aiding Japan's Siberian policy. " . . . ? Senator Sherman resented the president's assertion in Columbus that the international labor confer ence authorized under the peace would be held here next month re gardless of whether the senate had ratified the treaty by that time. The1 president's attitude showed a "con temptuous disregard" of law. he said adding that officials had been im peached for lesser breaches. McCumber Ha Substitutes In presenting his proposed sub , stitute resolution, iof ratification Senator McCumber spoke briefly. In lieu of the- committee reservation to artiale ten: of the league covenant he proposed a reservation merely de claring that ' specific action be re quired from congress to act as pro posed by article ten should not be violation of the covenant. The Committee's reservation,- he assert ed, would be "far worse" than an amendment striking out article ten and "Invites and encourages war." J Other substitute reservations pro posed hy Mr. McCumber would in the main change only the- phrasing of the committee reservations re garding the Monroe doctrine, with drawal from the league and action on domestic questions. Two addl- ' tlonal reservations presented by hiro provide for return of Shantung prov ince by Japan to China upon adopt ion of the treaty and for limitation ,of voting power of British colonies In the league as to disputes with the mother country. The latter two provisions were covered by the com mlttee as amendments instead of res- ' ervatlons. SMETIESUP, TACOMA PAPERS Printers Go.
