SEES COMPLICATIONS Senator Johnson Says Borah Proposal Worse Than League of Nations. WASHINOTON, Dec. 29.?A vote before night on the Borah proposal for a world economic conference, which is opposed by the administration, was sought by Senate leaders today while the th^rd day's debate on the project proceeded with increasing fury. As "irreconcllia! ble" colleagues ofN Senator Borah i hurled broadsides at his plan as . embodied in an amendment to the j Naval Appropriation Bill, the Re. | publican managers negotiated I quietly for a roll call before adjournment and a recess over New i Year's Day, Senator Johnson, Republican, i California, who fought shoulder to shoulder with ' Senator Borah against the League of Nations, , opened today's forensic battle with a two-fisted attack on the conference plan. The proposal, said Seniator Johnson, was worse than the | League and raoae likely to "em! broil us in European controversies and finally make the United StateB, after 150 years, a part of the European system." He adde.d that sucn a conference would "jeopardize our, future." "I am aeainst it." said Sflnntnrl 1 Johnson, "for precisely the reasons I was against taking the United States Into the League of Nations. I am against it because in my opinion it will do exactly what, thua far, we have declined to do. I am against it because in even greater degree, and with less safeguards than tho League of Nations gave to us, it will embroJl us In European controversies, and finally make the United States, gfter 150 years, o part of European system. / "I am against the amendment, as it is. presented, and., jost as in tfc? former conteit-of which It is inVtny1 judgment a contJniidtibp, I am against with either reservation orl amendments. I have been unable to conceive any amendment of reservation, which, leaving the design, would avert the possible injurious consequences. |. "I prefer the League of Nations I with some rules of proceedure, with the members bound by some parliamentary agreement to this general omnibus endeavor yWch has neither limitations nor specifications." Representation of the United States on the reparations commission, described by Senator Johnson as. tho "most repulsive element of tho Versailles Treaty,' would follow necessarily from the Borah conference, he contended, and would cause the United States to "embark nnnn a now fnoalm. policy."
