the completion Of the process by
which Shantung will presently be re-
turned to her in full sovereignty.
In the past there has been no tri-
bunal which could be resorted to for
any Of these purposes.
Not Party to Irish Dispute
Fourth--Is there anything in tho
league of nations covenant, or the
peace treaty, which, directly or in
directly, in any manner imposes on
the United States any obligation,
moral or otherwise, Of the slightest
character, to support England in any
way in case of revolt in ireland?
Answer. There is not. The only
guarantee contained in the covenant
is against external aggression, and
those who framed the covenant were
scrupulously careful in no way to
interfere with what they regarded as
the sacred rights Of self determine
tion.
Fifth. What effect, If any, will the
league Of nations covenant have in
either hindering or furthering the
cause of Irish freedom2
Answer. 1t was not possible for the
Peace Conference to act with regard
to the self determination of any ter
ritories except those which had be-
longed to the defeated empires. but in
the covenant of the league of nations
it has set up, for the first time, in
Article XI, forum before which all
claims Of self determination which
are likely to disturb the peace of the
world or the good understanding be-
tween nations upon which the peace

San Francisco, Sept. 1S.-Replyinl
in n statement today to n list of ques
itions put to him by a San Francisco
league Of nations organization, Presi-
dent Wilson declared Great Britain
could not outvote the United States il
the league; that foreign governments
could not, under the covenant, order
American troops abroad: that the
league would have a powerful influence
toward restoration of Shantung tc
China that the United States would not
be obligated by Article Y to aid Great
Britain in suppressing a revolt in Ire.
land, and that, under Article NJ, there
would be created new forum for ques
tions of self determination.
Mr.. Wilson'S statement, containing
the questions and answers, follows:
First. VIII you state the undorly-
ing consideration which dictated an
awarding of six votes to the British
empire in the assembly, and is it true
that Great Britain will outvote US in
the league of nations and thereby con-
troll the leagues action?
Not Controlled by British
Answer. The consideration which
led to assigning six votes to self-gov-
erning portions Of the British empire
was that they have, in effect, in all
but foreign policies, become autono-
nous, self governing states, their pol
icy, in all but foreign affairs, being
independent of the control of the Brit
lsh government, and in many respects
dissimilar from it. But it is not true
that, the British empire can outvote
US in the league of nations, and,
therefore, control the action Of the
league, because in every matter except
the admission Of new members in the
league, no action can be taken with
out the concurrence of a unanimous
vote of the representatives of the
states which are members of the coun-
Gil, so that in all matters of action
the affirmative vote of the United
States Is necessary and equivalent to
the united vote of the representatives
of the several parts of the British en-
pire,,- The united votes of the several
parts Of the British empire could not
effset or overcome the vote of the
United States.
Second. Is it true that, under the
league Of nations, foreign countries
could obtain the sending of American
troops to foreign countries?
Answer. 1t is not. The right of
Congress to determine such matters is
in no wise impaired.
To Help Safeguard China
Third. What effect will the league
of nations have in either forwarding
or hindering the final restoration Of
Shantung to China? What effect will
the league Of nations have in pre-
venting further spoliation Of China
and the abrogation of all such Special
privileges now enjoyed in China by
foreign countries?
Answer-The league or nations will
have very powerful effect in for
warding the final restoration of Shan
tung to China, and no other instru-
mentality, or action, can be substi-
tuted which could bring that result
about. The authority of the league
will, under Article Y, be constantly
directed toward safeguarding the ter
ritorial integrity and political inde-
pendence of China. 1t will, there
fore, absolutely prevent the further
spoilation of China, promote the res
toration to China of the several privi-
leges now long enjoyed by the for
