SENATOR colt
SAYS LEAGUE
is NECESSARY
Declares League Would Not
Create nor Interfere with.
National Laws.

Washington, July 7.-Announcine
his support of the principles embodied
IN the League of Nations covenant
but withholding judgment regarding
certain reservat tons, Senator Colt, Re-
publican, of Rhode Island, told the
senate today that the nation must al
least see the great Undertaking upon
which we have embarked in entering
the war through to the end, which
can only be done by our becoming a
member of the league"
The Rhode Island senator declared
himself unable to agree with the OBJ
jections that the league would create
a super-state or subvert the American
legislation. He said, however, that
the Monroe doctrine must be clearly
safeguarded and domestic questions
left for national action.
"The League of Nations in its es-
sence Is simply an association Of free
nations" he said. 'The principle of
international cooperation as the
means by which International peace
can be made secure has; never been
tiled before. All other means Of pre-.
s&snting war have failed, Not to try
this experiment would leave the world
fp the same condition of international
anarchy as 1t was before the war.
There is no antagonism between true
nationalism and an internationalism
which would subject the reign Of law
for the reign of force" -''
