Senator From Missouri Attacks League of Nations Idea Today.
Iatra.Uonal Hewa Serrlca. WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. The League - f Nations proposed la the international covenant r.ow before the peaco confer- (.,. will be dominated by the British empire, Senator Keed of Mts-souri, asserted in the senate this afternoon. If Oroat Britain should at any time lose ontrol the Germanic powers will sue- , ed to the position of dominance, he added. Five principal counts . were brought asainst the projected League of Naij.ins by Senator Keed. They wore: First That the control of tile I.raaut from the first will Inevitably be in Kurope and Asiatic nations, having many interests in common and who may havecommon antagonisms against us: ?mnl The British cmpi.-c Will constitute the con'roiling influence of the LeggU". Third Tf any tin-. Kngland should io,- control, the '"Jcrmamc powers v,ill b likely to suc-eed to her position of len-.inance: Fc-urth Thero is in the background. iT-." menace of world Bolshevism. Tndeed. that monster is the most earnest p-lvocate of internationalism. Its fang? p.re plainly visible in the constitution of the League. Fifth Whoever controls the league v .11 eontroll the. earth. "?ha!l we surrender by the pen what Washington gained by the sword"'" Heed demanded at the outset Shall we repudiate the nationalism i.nder which w-e have become the first people of the earth for the doubtful experiment in internationalism" "The V. S. entered the war a com:dete sovereign." Keed said. "It acknowledges no master. "A victor in the war. shall she nevei theless emerge a mere constituent state In a league dominated by Fujopean monarchs end Asiatic despots"" h asked. Turning to the control of the league Heed pointed out that of the "high contracting psrties." specifically named in the league cvnstitut ion. three are monarchies and two are republic. Frsn--e is tinder immeasurable ob'Igatlons to Oreat Britain and must .iiuimie to roly upon that nation for military and financial support, he said. Ttaly is 111 the sumo position, while Japan is bound to Great Britain by a secret treaty, be said. "At the same time Japan has been n a state of -iritation against 11s so e uie a to ca'ise cuave fears of war," he added
