Johnson Abandons Pacific Trip Urges League Debate
ULUTH MINN Sept 1 Senator Lena Hiram Johnson said he would not travel to the Pacific coast to support President Wilson's League of Nations speech. He will speak at St Paul and Minneapolis and depart for Washington D C Sunday. He hopes to be present for debate on his covenant amendment abolishing Britain’s veto power in the assembly. He criticized the league, warning it could lock the world in a rigid structure and cede war decisions to distant rulers rather than the people. The article notes he plans to issue a Pacific coast speech and hints at broader political strategy.
