Senator; Borah then asked who would pass on the -question under the withdrawal clause, of the league covenant whether, a nation, had fulfilled its international, obligations. 8 The president Nobody. Senator Borah Does the council have anything to say about it? -The president Nothing Whatever senator lioran -Tnen lr-a coun-', try should give notice of withdrawal, it. would be 'the sole judge whether or not it had fulfilled its international Obligations, its covenants to the league I president This is as I understand fit.

Js the under standing of the formulating commis-: sion. wiiy is tne language, maicing the proviso for the, fulfillment of the. covenants-put into the article? 1 The president Merely as an ar- Rment to. the conscience of the na lions. In other words it is, a notic served on them that their colleagues will expect that at th tline they withdraw they will have fulfilled their obligations, Senator Harding said if tlat werr true the language seemed "rather a fetched provision." Senator Pittman Germany then has not expressed herself to the com-, mission with regard to theso mootl questions? I The president No.

we have no expression from Germany about the league except the expression of her very strong desire -to be admitted to it. The president acquiesced in a sug- gostion by Senator Pittman that any change wonld require re-submission to Germany. Senator 'Lodge- -Mr. President, in that take it there is no question whatever under interna- tioual law and practice that an amendment to the text of a treaty must -be submitted to- every tigna-tory and must receive -either their assent or their dissent. I had supposed it had been the general diplomatic practice with regard to reservations that; silence was regarded as acquiescence; that there was that distinction between textual amendments which change the treaty for every, signatory, and a reservation.

which changes it only for "the resory-iiig power. In that I may be mistaken, 'j -1 -The president There -is some dif ference of opinion among the au-j thprities I am informed. -It is cleaV; to me, howeter, that in a treaty wnich lnvoives so oriels 'of; reservation rwhich would ensue undoubtedly would much "obscure our confident opinion as to hov. the treaty was going to work. Senator Williams- Mr.

Prssident, suppose for example that we adopted reservation that 'Germany did noth in if at all.5 and after ward i contended -1 hat so far as tha was concerned it was new matter, to which she never was a party. Could' her position be Justifiably dis puted? The president 'Senator Botah' quoted 'article -ten under which the Jiague members undertake to- "respect and preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members the league: and said he had heard suggested that this was simply" a moral obligation. Tho president Yes, Sir. inasmuch at there i3. no sanctioti in the treaty.

tt j'- 'Senator Borahr But there would a legal Obligation so far as the United States is coitiexned if M- should enter into would it not? The president I would not in? tcrpret it that way senator, because there-is involved the elemenV of judgment as to whether the territorial integrity of existing politicai independence is invaded or Iu other words it is an attitude of comradeship, and protection among the members of the leagu which in Its very nature is moral and not legal. Senator, Knox Mr. President, allow me to ask this question; Suppose that it is perfectly obvious and accepted that there is an external aggression against some power and suppose it is perfectly obvious and accepted that it cannot be repelled fexcept by force of arms, would we be iinder any legal obligation to participate? The president No, sir but we should be under an absolutely compelling moral obligation. In reply to Senator Williams the president said again that the applicability of the principles contemplated in the covenant would rest entirely on national decision. A more or less general discussion of -the method of dealing with, trea ties, abroad followed at that point aftemvhich Senator Fall suggested that reservations to the league covenant could emet so.

far as Germany was concerned, by her decision later on as; to whether, sh would join the jeague. The president I differ with you there, senator: One of the reasons for; putting the, league in the treaty was that Germany was going to be admitted to the. league immediately nd we felt; that it was very neces sary that we should get league, as an international authority, partly because we were exclud ing her, so that she would. thereafter have no ground for questioning such authority as the league might exer-'cise under its covenants. Is an the ed a of largest wegro fraternal organlia tions in the state.

It has aboui TODAY (Last Time) "Wives of Mens" Senator Fall Germany' is out the league. Any amendment proposed by the other members of -the league prior to her coming into the league would, be submitted to her would it? She not being a member. The president I will admit that that point had not occurred to me. No; she would not. Senator" Fall Then so ar as we are concerned we could make a recommendation in the nature of an amendment.

Hitchcock Did I understand your first reply to to be that Germany under this treaty already had a relationship to the league by reason of its lnterna- tlonal character and its participation in a number of questions that Gcr- many was interested in? The president-Ycs. Senator Hitchcock- It has a relationship to the league of nations before the time that, it may aply for membership? The president Yes. 'Senator Harding If there Is nothing more than a moral obligation on the part of any "member of the league, what avails articles tea and eleven? The presid.V Why, It surprising that the questoin should be asked. If we undertake obligation we are bound in th-i most solemn way to carry It out. In answer to further questions by Senator Johnson, President Wilson eaid Japan had notified the conference her delegates would not 6lgn treaty as drawn.
