AMERICA AND THE ALLIES.
PROTEST FOR A PURPOSE.
By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. Received May 11, 9.40 p.m. Washington, May 11.
Senator Robert Marion La Follette, the Republican freelance, attacked President Harding for accepting the invitation to allow an American representative to sit in European councils. He moved a resolution: “That the Senate thinks it is contrary to the United States’ ideas 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 that participation in the Supreme Council would be an endorsement of the Imperialistic policies the members of the Supreme Council are pursuing in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the sanction of the barbarous and uncivilized warfare imaged against the people of Ireland. The injection of the Irish question reveals the motive of the resolution and it has aroused resentment in official circles.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
