CHECK KONFUTURE
LEAGUE PROPOSED
Republicans Debate Control
Over U. S. Delegates
by Congress.
FEAR OF WORLD DEGREES

Senator's Of both parties are very
much interested in the suggestion
now under consideration by republi-
cans that it may be possible In an
enabling act for the league of ma
tions proposition to retain in Con-
gress absolute authority and power
over the American delegates to the
league of nations. The object would
be to render it impossible for the
delegates to commit this country to
anything engendering war without
direct sanction of Congress.
On Capitol Hill it is asserted by many
senators that the covenant of the
league of nations will be ratified by
the Senate. Furthermore, it is con-
sidered by some senators whose opin-
ions are held worthy of credence
that it will be quite difficult to amend
the covenant in it's present form al
Though that is not a dictum.
But there has been no abatement
of the judgment of senator's that in
existing form the covenant contains
the germ of war, the very thing it
purports to prevent. The view of
Senator Knox is shared by many
senators that the covenant not only
authorizes war in certain contingencies.
but commands it in others.
The idea that a small group of
delegates shall participate in a world
convention, where this country has
one vote out of nine, and commit
this country TO a program involving
war is unthinkable to great many
senators, democrats and republicans.
Yet that is what the proposition re-
solves into, according to widely
held view in the Senate.
So the suggestion has been made,
and now is under consideration by
members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations, that in the ena-
bling act, to carry out the purposes
of the league, provision shall be
made that the American vote on GER
tain specified questions shall not be
effective until authorized by Con-
gress.
Those questions would be the ones
which might involve the nation in
war or which would relate to the
Monroe doctrine, immigration or any
vital American policies.

Purposes of Enabling Act.

1t will be necessary to pass an en-
abling act to carry out the terms of
the covenant; to pay the nations share
of the expenses of the league; to
provide for the appointment of dele
gates. "and for other purposes" For
one thing, the Senate is said to be
determined that the delegates shall
be confirmed by the Senate after be-
ing appointed by the President. There
is small possibility of the Senate
yielding on that insistence.
In the enabling act. then, the sug-
gestion is: Why not safeguard the
points which are raised against the
covenant and provide that before this
country's honor, welfare or safety
shall be involved in any decree of the
league of nations the Congress must
give it's sanction to the vote of the
American delegates?
1t is pointed out by the suggestors
of the plan that the criticism of the
covenant by senators and by others
is not partisan: it is sincere. They
honestly believe that the terms of
the covenant in the instances cited
constitute menace to the country
they love better than their own life
Yet they are in sympathy with the
ideal of preventing war, seeking only
a practicable and practical way to
do it and regarding the present cove
nant as in the opposite direction.
