FOR The LEAGUE
Sen. Colt, Republican, Comes
Out in It's Support.
Says It Provides Only Machin-
cry for Restoring Peace.

Washington, July 17.-Announcing
his support of the principles embodied
in the league of nations covenant. but
Withholding judgment regarding GER
tain reservations, Senator Colt, Re-
publican of Rhode Island, told the
senate today that the nation Must at
least see the great undertaking upon
which we have embarked in entering
the war thru to the end which can
only be done by our becoming mem
Der of the league"
Not a Super State.
The Rhode Island senator declared
himself unable to agree with the OBJ
jections that the league would create
a super state or subvert the American
constitution. He said, however, that
the Monroe Doctrine must be clearly
safeguarded and domestic questions
left for national action.
Senator Colts speech follows, in
part:
''The league of nations in its essence is
simply an association Of free nations.
The principle Of international co-opera-
ton as the means by which international
tried before. All other means of prevent
ing war have failed. Not to try this eI-
pertinent would leave the world in the same
condition Of international anarchy as 1t
was before the war
There has been much controversy over
the question whether the league should
have always believed the league to be I'm
separate from the pence treaty because
the treaty cannot be enforced except thru
the league. The peace treaty leaves the
world fire with national aspirations
unsatisfied. territorial limits underlined,
racial conflicts impending and with in
cipient wars already started. II 1t is IN
thinkable for us to desert England. France
and Italy when the world is in chaos. we
must become a member of the league as
providing the only machinery for the re-
storation OF peace and order.
THE provisions of the league with re-
spect to arbitration or Intervention have
been criticised not strong enough but
they clearly will tend to prevent war.
Il believe that domestic questions like
immigration. which in some of their aspects
may be International, should be properly
safeguarded.
THE storm center Of these reservations
seems to be article 10. As to the retention
Of this article. much may be said on both
sides. 1t may be argued that the United
States ought not to bind itself for all time
to guarantee the territorial integrity and
political independence of the members OF
the league against external aggression, and
yet that argument might not apply with
the same force to protecting the territorial
settlements made by the peace conference
until this new world order is fully estab-
lished and the present peace OF the world
made secure. There is a wide distinction
between temporary and a permanent re-
tention of article 10.
