Isurrenders OF sovereignty that have
been heretofore declared to be void and
Of no effect by the Supreme Court OF
the United States and arc idle and in
effective except as they may be deemed
to morally justify a subsequent refusal
in given case TO comply with require
ments. Meanwhile any such refusals
on our part which might occur would
be fruitful sources OF grave interna-
tional complications If we have accepted
the Covenant as a whole.
VI. The evil results TO us which will
follow our adoption of the Covenant
are becoming apparent. Not only must
we, II we adopt the Covenant. at our
peril guarantee Thrace to Bulgaria four

friend and II necessary engage in war

peril. Fiume TO the Croats (our late
enemies) or to Italy (our late friend

our decision. Not TO weary with EMU

their possession, or domination and we
must at our OWN peril, guarantee by
war, the errors that in our human ig
norancc we and the others composing
the League, shall assuredly commit in
deciding these dubious questions.
VII. Numerous racial and social wars

fomented in several countries under the
stimulus Of the soclalistic doctrines
which have been given prominent and
for which the Covenant is a stalking

two has been securely laid by the nomi-

and the partial refusal to apply the inn
possible doctrines of the self-determina-
tion Of races which is contrary to our
fundamental doctrines as a Nation.

cial difficulties are arising almost daily,
social, racial and civil wars Will CON

has been arrayed against race i'm many
countries. The keynote Of the doctrine
which has been so widely advocated
and so persistently urged, and to the
conditions created by which the Coven-
ant, if adopted. will apply. is an open
and complete reversal OF the major

founded and upon which il has main
tanned itself and progressed; to the
benefit of all the races of the earth by
the example afforded In ratifying the
Covenant and undertaking duties under
