| dispute over a question which lies
purely within the domestic jurisdic-
ton of one party, but 10 the handling
O, which under such Jurisdiction the
| other party seriously objects. The
! immigration question is cited as an
example. While recognized by some
international law experts as purely
domestic, immigration is held by
others to have an international as
pect.
League supporters, however. insist
that the definite provision OF article
Is absolutely shuts out OF considera.
| ton any domestic question and
leaves it for settlement between the
two nations.
The fourth provision upon which
reservation is demanded is that Gov
ering withdrawal from the league.
Its text follows:
Article l paragraph 3).-Any
member Of the league may, after
two years notice OF its intention
to do so, withdraw from the
league, provided that all its In
ternauonal obligations and all
its obligations under this cove
nant shall have been fulfilled at
the time of it's withdrawal"
The criticism here is that the pro-
vision allows the league-that ls,
foreign nations-to decide, In the
case of the United States. whether
this government has fulfilled its
obligations, The demand is that the
right Of the United States to be the
Judge Of It's own obligations and the
fulfilfment of them be recognized.
The reply made to this criticism is
that the provision applies not only
to the United States, but to every
nation in the league, and that what
is fair for one is fair for all
Disarmament, as provided for in
article s of the covenant, is another
section causing dissatisfaction, and
demand for a reservation. This
provision reads:
Article S.-The members OF
the league recognize that the
maintenance OF peace requires
the reduction Of national arma-
ments to the lowest point con-
sistent with national safety and
ton OF International obligations.
"The council, taking account
Of the geographical situation and
circumstances of each state,
shall formulate plans for such
reduction for the consideration
and action Of the several govern
Ments.
such plans shall be subject
to reconsideratio and revision
at least every ten years.

might enuanG0T the peace OF inc
| world"
This, critics of the league contend
opens the door to constant attempts
by foreign nations to upset the Mon
roe doctrine and to interfere with
American affairs. They point GU!
that the league, under this article,
would have power to declare that
relations between the United States
and Mexico threatened the worlds
| peace, and could order either the
United States or some European
power to step In and change condi.
| tons.
This contention Is dubbed an alb.
surdity by the leagues supporters.
who insist the only effect Of the
article is to provide a means for re-
adjustments which may become nee.
essary as conditions change.
The seventh and final objection,
and, next to article 10. the strongest,
i is Ieveled a. provision of the
treaty proper. outside the league OF
nations covenant. It is the provision
transferring German rights In Shan.
tung peninsula to Japan. The Ian
guage of this provision Is:
nounces, in favor Of Japan, all
her rights, title and privileges
particularly those concerning the
territory of Kiaochow, railways,
mines and submarine cables
which she acquired in virtue OF
the treaty concluded by her with
China on March s, 1898, and OF
all other arrangements relative
to the province of Shantung.

"After these plans shall have
been adopted by the several gov
ernments, the limits of arma-
ments therein fixed shall not be
exceeded without the concur
renee of the council.
1.-THE members Of tho league
agree that the manufacture by
private enterprise Of munitions
and implements OF war is open
to grave objections. The corn-
Gil shall advise how the evil ef-
fects attendant upon such manu-.
facture can be prevented, due
regard being had to tho neces-
stiles Of those members OF the
league which are not able to
manufacture the munitions and
implements Of war necessary for
their safety.
1.-THE members OF the league
undertake to interchange full
and frank information as to the
scale Of their ornaments, their
military, naval and air programs
and the condition Of such of their
industries as are adaptable TO
warlike purposes"
The criticism directed against this
article is that, while it discusses dis.
armament, it does not really provide
for it. The fact that the councils
function Is merely that OF drawing
rp and submitting a plan, which may
be rejected by any government, is
held by league critics to be fztal
defect in any plan designed effec-
lively to disarm nations
Another criticism is that II the
United States accepts this article It
Will bind itself to accept the orders
OF the council, made up Of one Amerf-
can and eight foreigners, as to the
size Of the American army and navy.
But the leagues supporters con-
tend that article s goes as far to-
wards disarmament as the league
could go, and that nations entering
the league in good faith win make
the article effective by agreeing to
the councils suggestions, unless they
clearly run counter to national safe
ty. And the article does not invade
American sovereignty, they claim.
because it leaves to this government
the option of accepting or rejecting
the councils suggestions.
The sixth exception is taken to
article IS, which provides:
Article 10. The assembly
may from time to time advise
the reconsideration by members
Of the league of treaties which
have become inapplicable, and
the consideration of international
conditions whose continuance

The Manchester journal. [volume] (Manchester, Vt.) 1861-current, 1919-04-03

The coming issue Of government
securities has been called the Victory
Liberty Loan. Ii seems to me 1t might
well be termed the Thanksgiving
Loan, for If ever people had cause
for thanksgiving we are that people.
Consider If the war had lasted an
other.year what would have been our
state. Instead OF 10000 dead we likely
would have had hundreds of thou
sands. In time we might have equaled
the record of France, with her two
million slain. And yet some of us
grumble because the government must
spend further money to maintain the
comfort and bring home in safety
those boys whose lives were spared.
Congress is writing off the books
$4,000, 100000, expenditure of which
had been authorized and which would
have had to be expended, with bill
lions of other dollars, had the war gone
on another year. We all are glad, OF
course. that it IL not necessary TO
spend these additional billions, but
had it been necessary the spending OF
them stlll would not have brought the
nation down to ruin.
We still would have been far behind
France in the amount of our debt,
compared to wealth and population.

It is incomprehensible to me that any

Plain fathers and mothers through

that Americas war debt is substan-
TALLY all owed to the American people.

it and eventually 10 pay off the prinei-
