SHOT BACK BY Wl'NARY Oregon Senator Flays Administration For Isolation; Benefit To Farmers Seen. Washington, Dec. 28. Cham pioning the proposal of Senator Borah that the president call an International disarmament and economic conference, Senator Mc Nary, republican, Oregon, gained the floor this morning immediate ly after President Harding's letter had been read to the senate, and declared that the proposal, if car reid out would aid in the reha- blllation of the American farmer. . Would Aid Farmers. Senator McNary spoke in behalf of the Borah proposal which he championed as one likely to aid the American farm-by restoring Europe and Increasing European purchases of American agricul tural products. An active member of the senate farm bloc, Senator McNary declar ed his opposition to an American policy of "isolation," a'ough he said he knew his views would rouse what he termed the "inter national statesmen bloc of the sen ate." Treaty Defeat Scored. "I shall never know," said Sen ator McNary, "whether it was the stubbornness of our distinguished president, Woodrow Wilson, the perversity of the able senator from Massachusetts, Mr. Lodge, or the eloquence of the irrecoucilables that prevented the ratification of the Versailles treaty, yet I shall always think as a military reserva tion that much of the unrest and hatred exisiting among the nations at this time would not have occurred if this treaty con taining the covenant of the league of nations, with the Lodge reserva tions, had been ratified. Would Aid Europe. Senator McNary said the Borah amendment' would not obligate America to any aggressive or de fensive military action nor precipi tate the nation Into any political maelstrom. It would be a steo. he said, to re-establishment of European trade. He suggested that German reparations should be reduced and that increased trade with Europe was needed more by the American farmers than the pending credits legislation. farm ATL Long Beach, Cal., Dec. 28.
