covenant.
The reservations Mr.. Root suggest
ed should be written into the senate's
ratification resolution would be de-
signed to soften the nations obliga-
tiOns for guaranteeing the integrity
of foreign countries and to safeguard
further the Monroe doctrine, the right
of withdrawal from the league and
the determination of purely domestic
problems These reservations could
be made. the former secretary de-
Clared if perfect harmony with the
traditions of diplomacy and without
endangering other league provisions.
Mr.. Root declared the Monroe doc
trine clause erroneous in it's descrip-
ton of the doctrine and ambiguous in
its meaning" while the new provision
for withdrawal leaves Il doubt wheth-
or the nations could not be kept ain
the league indefinitely against our
will"
