The CHAIRMAN. He held no official position? Mr. BULLITT. No. Senator BRANDEGEE. Who advised him to go? Mr. BULLITT. I did. Senator BRANDEGEE. Is he in the country now? Mr. BULLITT. I do not believe so. I believe he is still in Europe. The wife of Zinoviev, Madame Lelina, is in charge of the social institutions in the city of Petrograd.
Senator BRANDEGEE. Did the others have anything similar to what is now article 10 in the treaty pending in the Senate? Mr. BULLITT. I really can not say. I am sorry, but I have forgotten. I should not care to testify on that.
This tilt between Senator Brandegee, of Connecticut, antisuffrage Republican, and Senator Myers, suffrage Democrat, took place when Mr. Myer's presented his bill: MR. BRANDEGEE: . . . Was there any defect in the legal proceedings by which these trouble makers were sentenced and put in jail a few weeks ago? MR. MYERS: None that I know of. I am not in a position to pass upon that.
Brandegee notes that the marines acted "under orders of a Supreme Council sitting somewhere," but he cannot recall who represents the United States on that body. The Supreme Council is unknown to the Constitution of the United States. Therefore Mr. New of Indiana submits a resolution calling for the facts. So far the Senators still recognize vaguely that they are discussing a rumor.
They stood by him. Wouldn't see him imposed upon." "They just wouldn't. They're prime little chaps. The other boys were bigger'n they are. I'd ha' helped 'em, but they didn't need any help." "No. Yes, I see. It won't do to have any fighting, but then! H'm! They stood right by him! Good-afternoon, Mr. Pulsifer." "Good-afternoon, Dr. Brandegee. There, if he hasn't made me lose a hit!
It was to be an ironclad declaration which we knew in advance would be accepted by the Soviet Government if we made it, and he thought that the President and Mr. Lloyd George would put it through. Senator BRANDEGEE. Did you attend that meeting of the commission when that report was considered by the American Commission? Mr. BULLITT. I first handed each member of the commission my report.
Senator BRANDEGEE. Do you know what his objection was to the legislative bodies of the contracting parties having representation on the assembly? Mr. BULLITT. The President believed, I think in fact, it was so stated to me by Col. House, who discussed the matter with me that it would make too unwieldy a central organ for the league.
Senator BRANDEGEE. Do you object to having that put in the record, Senator Knox? Senator KNOX. No. Senator BRANDEGEE. I would like to have that put in. Senator KNOX. What I am anxious to get at is to find out what became of your report. Senator FALL. I should like to know whether Col. House approved Mr. Auchincloss's and Mr. Miller's report, or the report of the witness. Mr.
Brandegee hurried back to the Capitol and summoned other senators to his office, all those who were especially concerned about the exposure of Colonel Harvey to European entanglements. He was excited. His voice was nasal. His language, in that select gathering, did not have to be parliamentary.
That, too, was the way poor Dick Lee came to make so bad a breakdown. His shining face would have told, even to eyes less practised than those of Dr. Brandegee, exactly the answer, as to kind and readiness, which he would have made to every question put to his white friends. That is, unless he had been directly called upon to "answer out aloud."
