NEW PACT RESERVATION
ON TRAFFIC IN WOMEN

A new reservation to the peace
treaty was introduced in the Senate
today by Senator Curtis. republican,
OF Kansas. declaring refusal OF the
United States to recognize any agree
ments concerning traffic in women.
The reservation is to section c OF ar
ticle 20 Of the league covenant. which
Senator Curtis believes would legal
ize traffic in women. 1t provides that
league members will intrust the
league with the general supervision
over the execution OF agreements with
regard to the traffic in women and
children and the trafic In opium and
other dangerous drugs"
Senator Curtis reservation declares
"the United States construes sub-di-
vision C Of article % to mean that
the league shall refuse to recognize
agreements with regard to the TRAFFIC
in women and children and that the
league shall use every means possible
to abolish and do away with such
practice"
