cover that it's treaty obligations are
unconstitutional, and hence that all the
foregoing treaties are null and void.

ators who voted for many Of these

President Lowell called UP on his OPP
ponent to declare:
First whether he would or would not
vote for the covenant provided it was
amended as the senator wished. and Sec
ond, what amendments he desired.
Departing from his set address to re-
ply TO his opponent, DIR. Lowell said:
I'VE both fell that this covenant is,
as it stands, defective, but the differ
ence Is that I feel that when those de-
fects have been removed. that covenant
with those defects cured. ought TO be
ratified--and he does not tell us whether
he thinks 50 or not.
Referring To the farewell address OF
George Washington, the speaker said:

The audience seemed disposed to be
impartial. and again the applause was

It is declared further that the Idea
