RESOLUTIONS
OF RATIFICATION
Continued from Page ~

article ten, three or four democratic
amendments being rejected in sue
cession The vote on reservation re-
garding the Monroe doctrine was
eleven to six. The decIsfon to re
lquire approval of reservations by
three of the great powers was an I'M
expected development.
The reservations approved at the
morning session were those reported
out by the committee on foreign re-
lations when it brought the treaty
before the senate. They are COM
monty known as the Lodge reserva-
lions. The one concerning with
drawal provides that the United
States reserves to itself the uncon-
ditional right to withdraw from the
League of nations upon the notice
provided in article one of the
treaty"
The reservation regarding article
ten states that the United States
declines to assume any obligation to
preserve the territorial integrity or
political Independence Of any other
country or to interfere In controver-
sizes between other nations"
Military or naval force or economic
action cannot be employed under the
treaty without the express consent OF
congress, the reservation further pro-
vides President Wilson has fatty
said he will regard adoption of this
clause as rejection of the entire
/ treaty.
Domestic questions named as COM
! ing within the exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States include immi-
grafton, coast wise traffic, tariff and
commerce.
| The Monroe doctrine, IT is pro-
vided, shall be interpreted by the
United States at once and Is de-
clared to be wholly outside the
jurisdiction Of the league of nations"
Action of the foreign relations COM
mittee today made it clear to demo-
cratic senators that the treaty fight
will be a bitter one when it reaches
the senate floor Senator Hitchcock
/ failing to obtain modification Of the
Lodge reservations, will center his
efforts on beating theni when they
come before the senate IN the same
way that the committee amendments
to the treaty were beaten.
