Explains Article K.

Senator Gerry analysed the league

reached article X, which would guar
antee the territorial boundaries OF
the members of the league, he said:
There seems to be some misunder-
standing in regard to the contents OF
the whole of this article. 1t does not
guarantee the territorial integrity or

any member of the league except from
it would be imperative against any
internal action. uprising or rebellion.
Danger Of war under this article is
also further safeguarded by articles
II to II. to which 1 presently shall

speaking, for arbitration. The impor-

Presents Alternatives.
After completing his analysis, Sena-
tor Gerry said:
THE real question is whether we
believe that it is not better for the
United States to have a say in Eu-
ropean matters and thus try to prevent
another horrible war or to keep our
hands or and wait until the world is
afiame and then endeavor to assert our
might to protect our rights In one
case we have hand in shaping the
destinies OF mankind. In the other. in
refusing to accept responsibility, we
