1.-The right of withdrawal, too, be-
comes minor matter, for if there is to
be a steam roller such as this council
is. it is better to be on it than in its
path.
"Thc provision for the executive
council ns drafted in the league means
just the same thing as if VIC were to
decide that all judicial disputes on APP.
peal should go to the President cabinet
rather than to the Supreme Court of
the United States.
II should say that this principle il
hardly consistent with the constitutions
of the United States.
When asked for an opinion on whcth-
or or not the Senate would approve the
league draft in its new form. he said
he would not make any prediction.
But should think the Senate
would seriously and thoroughly con-
slider it and review it. he said. 1T
is the only body of review left.
"Ordinarily when commissioners have
returned with treaties there is Il Presi-
dent in the White House to review the
results. but the chair in the White
House is empty. The President is one
of the commissioners and a co-author
of the league. The senators are the
only ones now who can look at the
agreement as outsiders. - .......-..
