MERE MUCH ADOO ABOUT
NOTHING. :"

If all the senatorial oratory
that has been spilled over Article
X Of the covenant Of the League
of Nations were gathred up and
printed it would fill a library The
point involved was discussed ex-
haustiyely when the amendments
were pending and it came up
again when the matter Of rescr-
vations was reached.
Now what is it all about? The
answer is the text Of the reserva-
tion which the senate committee
on foreign relations committee
and the adoption Of which is de
manded. Here it is;
"The United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the' terri
torial integrity or political inde-
pendence Of any other country
or to interfere in controversies
between nations, whether mem
bcrs of the league or not, under
the provisions Of Art.10, or to en-
ploy the military or naval forces
OF the United States under any
article Of the treaty for any pur-
pose, unless in any particular case
the congress, which under the
constitution. has the sole power to
declare war or authorize the en-
ployment Of the military or naval
forces Of the United States, shall
by act or joint resolution so pro-
vide. "
Can anybody read into the fore
going language anything that is
not implied in the original text
Of Article x? Does anybody sup
pose that in agreeing to the cove
nant President Wilson had any
idea of altering the constitution
the United States?
Even without the specific reser-
vation demanded, the supreme
law of the land must govern and
the constitution provides that the
ntion can go to war only with
the consent of congress. The pro-
posed reservation, therefore,
neither adds anything to the arti-
Gle nor takes anything away from
it.
Looking at the matter in the
light OF common-sensc. the lay
man can see as little reason why
the friends of the treaty should
so strenuously oppose the reser-
walton as there is for the oppo-
nents insisting upon its adoption.
1T wouldn't be so bad for the sen
ators to indulge in the pleasure
of unlimited debate if it were not
delaying the final wind-up Of the
war, but, with all the world
awaiting the official coming of
peace. it would seem that the dis
cussion has long lasted longer
than was necessary.
