COMPARED TO
DON QUIXOTE
President Wilson's League of Nations
Dream Is A tacked In Ad
dress by Senator
New.
[United Press Leased Wire Service.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—"Presi
dent Wilson's dream of the actualities
of the league of nations are scarcely
less visionary than the hallucination
of Don Quixote," Senator New, In
diana, declared today In the senate in
advocating adoption of the Johnson
amendment to the treaty.
•New also announced he will vote for
all the other amendments and all the
reservations reported by the majority
of the foreign relations committee.
New asked what objections could be
legitimately urged against the John­!
son amendment giving the United
States a league vote equal to Great
Britain's votes. President Wilson's
statement that Great Britain cannot
out vote this nation "is no more accu
rate than others he has made upon his
present tour," New said.
"Nor do I think that the president
has been at all times happy in
(his
comparisons," New continued. "For
instance, in one of the speeches made
on his western trip, he told his audi
ence that the league is insurance
against war—in his opinion, 98 per
cent insurance—but he added that if
it were only ten percent, he would
favor it.
"Do fire insurance policies prevent
fire? Fire Is prevented not by insur
ance but by the care of the owners
and tenants of the property. If insur
ance does not prevent fire, what does
it do? It distributes the loss. That is
just what the league of nations will
surely do.
"It will not prevent war, either 98
percent or 10 percent and the presi
dent himself has admitted its fallibil­'WANTED—To
ity in this particular. It is more apt
to cause war, but it will of a certainty
distribute the losses. The losses are
distributed under this league, not in
proportion to the risk of war but in
proportion to wealth and population."
New said that "holding the views 1
do, it would b^treason" to vote to rat
ify the treaty in its present form.

Dally Stock Letter.
[United Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
Trading in today's stock market
was a backing and filling process of
no great animation, with the trend
of prices favoring the downward tide
for the moot part. It was not so
much a case of weakness in any par
ticular quarter as of general neglect,
some realizing and absence denifad
on part of the short.
The stock list was not by any
means lacking in strong spots nor
was trading wanting in strong in
tervals. U. S. Steel again got above
104, although it ruled around 103.
Bethlehem opened nearly a point
higher and then eased away a point
or so. The equipments were soft.
The feature In the last hour was
further strength in the higher priced
tobaccos shares, including American
Tobacco which crossed 300.
