CROIX STATION. | San Francisco, June 28th.-—The League | of Nations Covenant was championed as | the ‘‘Mounroe doctrine’”’ of the world by | Homer Cummings, temporary chairman of the Demoeratic Naticnal Convention, | in his keynote address at the opening session today. Os the peace treaty | deteat in the United States Senate, he | said, "'No blacker erime against civiliza- | tion has ever soiled the pages of our | history’’. He deeclared tor éndors tion | of the peace treaty and th: League of | Nations by the United States without re- servation ot any nature. Incidentally he | supported Canada’s right to a vote | in the league Assembly. Dealing | with tnis phase of the su jeet. he | said ‘‘there is great pretense of | al:-mzx because the United States has but one ®vore lin the International Assembily against six votes of Great Britain, Can- ada, Australia, New Zealand, South As- | rica and India. This popular argument | against the League of Nations s | insincere as it is superficial. It ignores | the fact that the Executive Assembly is the gov.rning body in the League, and | that our country is one of the five coun- | tries havinz permanent membership in | the council. The colonial votes exist | only in the Assembly. ‘“‘Nor should we | forget that France has but one. .vote. | Italy has but one vote, Japan has but | one vote. If there were any injustice in | the arrangement, surely these nations | would have sensed it and objected to it. !
