FRONTIER DAYS Iowa Senator Offers cism on Draft of Constitution (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. — While declaring his full sympathy with a purpose to form an interna- Peace ‘tribunal, Senator Cummins of lowa, Republican, de- clared today in the senate that he opposed the proposed constitution of the League of Nations because he be- lieved some of its provisions would strike at American sovereignty. Sen- ator Cummins said the league draft would form a “world nation” with “polyglot and incoherent powers,” which would submerge the American republic. He urged a ‘speedy conclusion of peace with Germany and the immedi- ate inauguration of reconstruction work to avert disaster. The Iowa senator expressed his ap- proval of many provisions of the eucetive charter of the.world league. ‘Those he attacked deal with submis- sion of national questions, disarma- ment, provision for mandatories and for Teciprocal territorial guarantees. te is some good in it (pro- posed congtitution),” said the senator. “There is more that is bad in i: now proposed I would unhesi vote against it.” In presenting definite Reanoeale for a league, which he declared could be formed without any ‘surrender of American sovereignty, the senator said: “First. We ought to agree and all other nations ought to agree that jus- tifiable disputes be settled either by arbitration or adjudication. / “Second. We ought to agree and all other nations gught to agree that with respect to other international | disputes war shall not be made until some permanent or regular: interna- tional body shall have a fair oppor- tunity to discuss and examine it. Upon such questions there should be no award and no judgment, and sanction should ‘be confined to moral _influ- ences: wich pls aaky. and free diucupaion Po ga should: re- ice! ‘to submit a proper controversy to judgment or;refuse to perform when rendered, refuse to delay war, Lam willing to agree that ostrac- ism shall be the penalty inflicted. “Fourth. The compact should con- tain a program of disarmament. After all, in disarmament lies the hope of permanent peace. The constitution proposed is most disappointing in this regard, for a careful study gives little right to believe there will be any dis- armament among the strong powers.
