 Are Dependent on Treaty
 Senator Lodge: q do not know about the other treaties. but the treaty with Poland, for example has been completed"
 The President: "Yes and signed; but it is depndent upon this treaty. My thought was to submit it upon the action on this treaty"

Then, between that tim and the time of the formation of tn commission on the league of nation l had the advantage of seeing a pape by General Shuts, of South Africa. wh seemed to me to have done some yer Il clear thinking. particularly with re gard to what was to be done with tn pieces of the .dismembered empire. Be fore got to Paris therefore, re- wrot the document to which I have allude and you may have noticed that it con sists of 9, series of articles and the supplementary agreements. It was i the supplementary agreements that embodied the additional ideas that ha come to me not only from Genera Shuts paper, but from other discus sions. That is the full story of ho, the plan which I sent to the committe was built up.
