Preserving American independence

WASHINGTON, June i7.-lmmedate
ly following the publication in tn
United states Of the text OF the pro
posed peace treaty containing Ia
League OF Nations covenant IN
League for the Preservation OF Amer
icsn independence. which is opposing
the covenant announced its new dec
lsration Of principles.
In giving out the principles, Georg
Wharton Pepper. of Philadelphia. vice
president Of the League for the Pre-
seryation OF American Independence
pointed 10 the fact that the covenan
gives no recognition 10 the Monroe
Doctrine: neither is there any rescr
walton in Il by which the Unite,
states may decide what immigration
we shall sanction and what we shal
exclude
The life OF American democracy
the principles declare. depends upon
the rejection by the United States
Senate Of the proposed covenant for
these reasons and for the reason that
the covenant has no place in the
treaty. and should not be considered
until after the treaty shall have been
disposed Of"
The new declaration Of principles OF
the League for the Preservation Of
American Independence follows:
J.
We insist that all attempts 10 in
terwesve the League Of Nations cove
nant with the Treaty OF Peace should
be resisted; that the early return Of
our boys should he made possible by
prompt action upon the treaty; and
that the proposed covenant Of the
League Of Nations. as a separate prop
osition. should then be considered by
the Senate with due deliberation and
care and with reasonable opportunity
for needed amendment
H.
No matter bow wise and dlsinterest-
ed the diplomats may be who have
framed the proposed constitution, the
people Of the Emitted States must do
some independent thinking on This
subject or forfeit their right to call
This Government democracy.
III
In the interest Of world peace and
Of any international arrangement that
would tend to promote 10, we are op
posed to the covenant OF the league
as reported from Paris because:
First: lis trainers have definitely
and decisiyely rejected every one OF
The six vital and constructive amend /
ments recently proposed by Senator |
Root
Second: The essential feature Of the /
amended covenant is an international |
voting trust OF nine nations dominated
by five which is not a body constituted
'or- conference Cancellation and peace.

political power as is likely TO pro-
note International friction, rupture
