They set the time of meeting an hour earlier than psual in the hope that the Semate might talk itself out before night. During most of today's session the debate dragged along without much show of inmterest, but just after ad- journment the undercurrent of bitter feeling cropped out in a shaurp ex- change between Senator Johnson, re- publican, of California, author of the amendment, and Senator Hale, ®epub- lican, of Maine, opposing it. Declaring = that _the amendment, which proposes in effect that in any decision by the league of mations the United States shall have as many votes as Great Britain and her colonies, would not in actual operation insure equality In the league, Senator Hale had argued that better results could be accomplished by a reservation on the subject. He alluded to Senator Jchnson's plea yesterday that his amendment represented the ‘viewpoint of Americahism, and continued “Let me say to the senator from California that the motives of " those opposing hie proposal are every bit as high as his motives. I am just as much opposed as he is to inequality in the league, but J believe in meeting it with a reservation which will remedy it rather than with ah amendment which will_not. Senator Johnson replied that the op- position seemed to him to be based on an unwillingness to go even as far as his amendment would go, rather than on a fear that it did not go far enough.
