The criticism directed against this
article is that while it discusses dis.

league critics to be fatal defect IN

Another criticism is that IL the un-

and eight foreigners, as 10 the siso VI

But the league s supporters contend
that Article goes as far towards dis

that nations entering the leagne in

BY foreign nations TO upset the Monroe

league, under this article, would have
power to declare that relations between

the domestic jurisdiction Of one party
but to the handling Of which under such
jurisdiction, the other party seriously
objects. The immigration question Il
cited as an example. While recognized
by some international law experss al

League supporters, however, insist
taht the definite provision of Article

two years notice Of It's intention to
do so, withdraw from the League,
provided that all its International

The criticism here Is that the provis-

The prince regent expressed the

pose upon us any decision previous

fate without our knowledge. We
ask no sacrifice from anyone. All
we claim is what will be useful, not
only for u.s.. but for all our allies.
This will save not ony ourselves but
Others many difhculties and future
generations many troubles.
I'VE hope that our noble allies Will
only follow, in our regard, the prin-
ciples which they have themselves
laid down and proclaimed publicly in
advance. We ask nothing that is un-
