Question of Voting Control.

"If the United States ia going to en-
ter upon this task. do you think it is fair
to give the United States no gyeater vot-
ing power In the drS~yate oody than
Siam? Do you think it is a reasonable
task to impose upon the United States
when II has no greater voting power In
the delegate body than has Denmark and
Norway and Sweden with their ten mil
llonc No, not so much. Norway and
Sweden and Denmark. with their ten
million, will have three times the voting
power of the United States with It's. one
hundred and ten millions OF people
''In the Executive Council, as II Is now
organized, there are five members,
Japan. Italy. France. United States and
Great Britain. Leaving now for mo-
ment the delegate bodies and going to
the Executive Council, II there arises a
conflict between the European system OF
doing business and the American system,
between the European policies and the
American policies, there will be one Ash
attic vote and three European votes
against the vote of the United States, a
single one.
III we were entering into this task for
any conceivable material benefit for our
selves In the way OF material advance
ment or wealth. we might consent to
such representation as would euualize
us with the other great nations. but GER
tainly we could never be asked under
any circumstances to enter a league
where the policies are absolutely under
the control OF those who have torn and
tortured the people of Europe for the
last three centuries. We were told dur
ing this war that II was a Democratic

Constitution and the law.
Such were tho safeguards we set up.
But II is now proposed to create an in
ternational Government consisting Of a
single body of nine men and to con-
centrate In II all three vi the powers 1
have referred to.
ut is expressly provided that the
council shall have Jurisdiction Of any
matter affecting the peace Of the world.
broader Jurisdiction could not be i'm
agined Here is the language Of Article
3: Any matter within the sphere OF ac-
ton OF the league or affecting the peace
OF the world may be dealt with at such
meetings. (The meetings of the coun-
Gil or the delegates).
THE council is a law unto itself as to
oil matters Of procedure. Its proceed
inss may be decided by a majority vote.
All this is provided In Article 4 : "All
matter of procedure at meetings OF the
body of delegates or the executive coun-
Gil. including the appointment Of tho
committees to Investigate particular
matters. shall be regulated by the body
of delegates or the executive council,
and may be decided by n majority Of
the States represented at the meeting.
THE council has authority to fix the
size OF the army and navy OF the various
nations of the earth. and when once de-
termined and accepted no nation can
thereafter change without the consent
OF the council.
1T seems to me clear that this
language is intended to confer upon the
executive council the right of decision.
If the nations are left free to accept
or reject that decision. then 1t amounts
to nothing To my mind it Is perfectly
clear that 1t is intended that tho de-
cision must be obeyed. Certain 1t Is
that IL any nation ever accepts the de-
cision II is thereafter bound.
This council also determines the
amount OF munitions OF war that can
be manufactured by nations and also
the amount that can be manufactured
by individuals.
Bearing in mind that any matter
within the sphere of action of the
League or affecting the peace OF the
world may be dealt with by the council
or by the delegates, consider the tre-
mendous significance of Articles 10 and
II. The reading OF these two articles
will show that there is drawn within
the authority OF this council the very
right of war and peace. the jurlsdic-
ton and command of the world, and
that it Is in fact given authority to
summon all the rest OF the world 10 pro-
tect the borders of any State or to exc
cute its DEGREES relative to anything
which It considers a threat Of danger
Notice that the various nations under
take to preserve against external
aggression the territorial integrity and
existing political independence of all
States members OF the league and the
executive council is given the authority
to advise upon the means by which the
obligation shall be fulfilled.

upon legislative power by requiring the

such power as to enable 1t to prevent

fences that the Monroe Doctrine is not
involved? say that any claim by
any man that the Monroe Doctrine is
not wiped out by this league Is either
made In ignorance OF the terms of the
instrument or it is dishonesty made.
Broadly speaking. what Is the Monroe

Americans Kept Faith,

1.-THE American people believe in the
sancuty of their treaty obligations and
therefore, once entering upon an ar
rangement like this, the fact that It
has the power 10 change it's policy is
neutralized by the consequences which
would in all probability result from 80
doing. Hence II is essential that we
know what we are doing, not only as
an entirety but in every detail, before
we commit ourselves unreservedly to
such an undertaking.
Il was reading day or two ago in
one OF the magazines, | tn nix the Worlds

Nations by the eminent French journal

from him. He said
