Declares Americans Will Not
Accept Position of Racial
Equality With Bed, Brown,
Black and Yellow Baces of
Europe; Asserts Democrats
Should Oppose League
(By th Associated Press.)
Wsshington, May 86. Th Lesgu of
Nation wa debcted in the Bensts again
today with an Increasing show of bit
tsrness.
Seeator Deed, Democrat, of Missouri,
attacked the proposal ia such, vigorous
terms that hs aroused repeated ob
jections from Benntors sup. trting it
aad developed a running debate colored
by dramatic accusations and heated re
torts. Th Missouri Bens tor declared
the league woul3 "place' ths dettlniel of
th whit rac in the hands of Ignorant
and superstitious nations of black and
yellow population, and charged that
many Demoerafs wer supporting it for
partisan reasons. ' -
Tstae," Said Hitchceck.
In frequent interruptions of th Mis
souri Senator's speech, Senator Hitch
eoek, of Kebraaks, ranking Democrat of
the Foreign Relation Committee, In
sisted that the premises for these
charger were falsa and that th Infer
ence draw wer unfnir and dangerous.
H drew in turn a reply from Senator
Knox, Republican, of Pennsylvania, who
suggested that supporters of the lesgu
covenant should read it before they
discussed it.
So heated did the exchanges become
at one point that the chair rapped for
order and Seaator Beed declared that
Senator Hitchcock bad "lost his temper,"
No . Vote On Johnson Resolution.
The measure which brought the league
issue before the Senate wss the reso
lution of Senator Johnson, Republican,
of California, requesting from th
Stat Department th iulL. text, of th
peae treaty. . There was no attempt
t reach a vote on th resolution, on
which debate began 1. " Friday, and th
measur went over again s unfinished
business to come up when th Sennt
reconvenes Wednesday.
What Whit Rac I Asked To Do.
Without speaking directly of the
Johnson resolution, Senator Reed mado
a general sttac. upon tho league cove
nant itself as propossl to band over
control of Xlt whit rac n the civi
lised world to an assembly of nations
where a majority alway could be
bro-igh. together on ny rac question
la opposition to vhit supremacy. He
declared support of the league plan
never could be explained at horns by
Senntors from the South, with it negro
problem, or from the West, with its
Chine: e and Japsnese prolljms. Turn
ing dramatically to his Democratic col
leagues, he con, tied:
. Hsd It Been tho Other Wey.
"If a Republican - president had
brought it here If Roosevelt had
brought it here ther is not a Demo
era that would not nave been standing
by my aid fighting to th last ditch to
rescue the country from so monstrous
and so cruel thing.1
Southern Democrat . partieualrly,

th negro us aa 'equal at th ballot
box, but t th same time accepting

th black rac predominates a mem
ber of, th league assembly ;
quality with th United State.
"You think you can control th vote
of th black race," he asserted, "but
en any question of race equality you
never will be able to do it."
... Hybrid Wld Embarrass Whit
To support his prcdletioa that - the
black, yellow, brown aad red rteec
would combine to embarrass ,th whit
racs, Senator Reed cited the amendment
offered by Japanfs dslegstes at Paris
t th league covenant, guaranteeing
rac equality.. Although th amendment
failed, he said, th Japanese delegate
reserved th right to bring it later be
fore the league for determination
He slso quoted from a periodic! pub
lished by negroes ia this country a
passage declaring a league of nntions
lor soms other
or soms other ''internstionsl power" to

or the salrs-
tioa of th negro race, "ia view of
treatment of th negroes In th United
States and South Africa.
Bom Figure aad Co scissions.
I hi speech of nearly three hour,
Senator Reed presented a mas, of sta
tlstie-nd ether sfofmstiea - regard-f
in th smaller members of the league.
The member nation in , which ths
whit rat was predominant, he said,
