Washington. Oct. 6 Denying that;
Great Britain and her colonies would
have six votes In the league of na
tions, to one for the United States.
Senator MeOumber, republican North
Dakota, charged in the senate today
that senators advocating the amend
ment by Senator Johnson, republican
California, proposing to limit the
voting power of the (British colonies,
were fanning popular prejudice with
an unfounded appeal.
"Senators who In private conver
sation would never dream of at
tempting to deceive one another,"
said Senator MoCumber, "seem un
able to resist the temptation to take
advantage of a prejudice created by
this deception, and, with studied
avoidance of the real and full truth.
give this prejudice another boost."
As a substitute for ' the Johnson
amendment. Senator McCumber urg
ed his proposed reservation to ex
clude British colonies from partici
pating in the league in disputes In
volving the mother country or each
other. -
"Almost every argument made on
the floor of the senate, said Sena
tor McCumber, "and every one with
out exception made to the public by
senators opposed to any league of
nations, has given the Impression to
the people of the world . that the
council or the assembly as the case
might 'be, is a sort of court or tri
bunal that decides .the disputes be
tween nations and . it is becaiuse of
these mis-statements of the facts and
the 'misapprehension of many of our
people arising therefrom, that the
ground Is made fertile tor the de
velopment of about all the animosi
ties toward this league and toward
the claimed voting power of Great

the floods in the latter part of Sep

fully understand, first, that ist one
case of dispute out of a hundred
would ever go to the council or as
sembly, second, that, even it all other
efforts provided for 'the settlement of
disputes should tail, the only thing
submitted to the council or assem
bly is the right to investigate and
report the tacts to the public."
Senator McCumber said the argu
ment of Senator Johnson and other
supporters of the Johnson amend
ments was "too absurd to b8-tr"V
and asked why iFrance, Italy and
ether nations did not raise objec
tions to "putting their heads in the
lion's mouth."
The North Dakota senator ' said
"the real facts," regarding the
league were:
"That neither the council nor as
sembly is a board of arbitration
"That neither of them decides In
ternational disputes at all.
"That the only jurisdiction which
the council or assembly have over a
dispute between nations is the right
to Investigate and report what the
true tacts are, and make recommen
dations. 'That a dispute with a part of a
nation or empire is a dispute with
the whole. ,.
"Great Britain cannot and will not
control the vote of Canada."
' Senator McCumber said, "I would
like to put this question straight to
the American people: Has not Can
ada!, a fully governing, Independent
dominion, earned by her sacrifices in
blood and treasure through . four
years of this bloody war, a right to
a seat 1 the assembly that would
give her voice an effect equal to
Haiti, Hedjez, Honduras, Liberia,
