Proposed Reservations Popular.
(From The Sioux Fails IS. d. Press.)

(From the Sioux Falls Is. d. Press)
The Press pointed out several weeks
ago, the four reservations suggested In
the majority report of the foreign rela-
tions committee would seem to strike
the popular chord and at the same time
would not require that the treaty be sent
back to conference. Briefly, these reser-
vations are:
1-Unconditional right to withdraw
from the league.
2-Declination by the United States to
accept any of the legal or moral obliga-
tons OF Article X or to accept any man
datory from the league, except By action
of the congress of the United States.
3-Reserving to the United States the
exclusive right to decide what questions
are within it's own domestic jurisdiction.
4-Absolute reservation of the Monroe
doctrine to the judgment Of the United
States alone.
