Mr. I unquestionably could obtain from Secretary Lansing or the President or some one else the actual original of the report. Senator BRANDEGEE. I do not care about the precise date, but I want to get it approximately. Mr.
Brandegee was too big, in mind as well as body, for any boy of their size to feel at all uneasy after the first half-minute of looking in his calm, broad, thoughtful face. Every member of that quartet began to feel a queer sort of impatience to tell all he knew about books.
That is the whole bill. It does not need much examination. One night's rest after its reading is enough to digest it."

"The American people demand that we shall do something, and quickly. Is this what the loyal North has been fighting for?
Brandegee, "which have been discussed in this hall for the past two years, to my mind it seems the plainest, the most appropriate, the freest from constitutional objection, and the best calculated to accomplish the master aims of reconstruction. "It begins the work of reconstruction at the right end, and employs the right tools for its accomplishment.
There were the "bitter-enders," typified by Johnson, Borah, and Brandegee, who frankly wanted to defeat the treaty and the League outright; there were the "reservationists," most of whom, like Lodge, wanted the same but did not dare say so openly; there were the "mild reservationists," most of whom were Republicans, who sincerely desired immediate peace and asked for no important changes in the treaty; and finally there were those who desired to ratify the treaty as it stood.

"'Captain Brandegee, says he, 'if I was in Boston Harbor, I should say that there was Nix's Mate.
Senator BRANDEGEE. The President stated to us that that was practically what he had submitted to the Niagara conference here when the ABC powers from South America were discussing the Mexican question. He had then considered it as an article for American use on this continent. Do you know what the attitude of Gen Smuts was as to article 10 as proposed by the President? Mr. BULLITT. I do not, sir.
Senator BRANDEGEE. Do you know from what you heard while you were there in your official capacity whether the other nations were anxious to have article 10 in the covenant for the league? Mr. BULLITT. The French were not only anxious for it, but I believe were anxious greatly to strengthen it.
