Forcing America Into Var

HE argument most solemnly pronounced
against the present constitution Of the
league OF nations seems to rest upon the as
sumption that it might compel the United
States TO 90 to war whether or not this coun-
try wished TO do so. that it would give the
league the power to summon American SOL
diers OF sailors to battle at any time it chose
or at any place, and that America would
lose control over its forces. This alarm
Is sounded in connection with Article X. of
the league constitution.

efforts OF the confirmed Japan haters, the
interests of those to whom a war would be
