ALLIED COUNCILS

UNITED STATES PARTICIPATION ATTACK ON PRESIDENT IN SENATE By Telegraph —Press Association —Copyright (Rec. May 11, 9.40 p.m.) Washington, May 11. Senator Robert Marion La Follette, the Republican free lance, attacked President Harding for accepting tho invitation to allow American representatives to sit in European Councils. He moved a resolution: "That the Senate thinks it contrary to tho United States’ ideals and principles to take part in any Allied Councils, and denounces the Versailles Treaty as a crime born of blind revenge and insatiable greed, and a betrayal of the promises of the United States. The resolution further states: “Participation in the deliberations of the Supreme Council would be an endorsement of ths Imperialistic policies that members of the Supreme Council are pursuing .in Europe, Africa, and Asia, and a sanction of the barbarous and uncivilised warfare waged against the people of Ireland. ’ The injection of the Irish question reveals the motive of the resolution, and has aroused resentment in official circles. —Aus.-N.Z.
