the provision that each decision OF

congress still has power 20 refuse

lie first answered the objection
TO Article Eight. on disarmament.

sented without our consent. no

clared, because IL is "A solemn p.edgs

possibly could be.
IF any test should arise be-

asserted. so far as we are CON
cerned. the covenant is annulled
and the Monroe doctrine survives
Tor us as a living foreign policy. We
I accept the covenant with this clear
reservation The doctrine IS not
