Text Of Reservation.
! The text OF the reservation Is as fol-
lows:
The United States assumes no obi
CATION to preserve the territorial integ-
rity or political independence OF any
! ether country or to interfere in con-
troversies beween wfle.he:
members OF the league or not-under
the provisions Of article 10, or to en-
ploy the military or naval forces CT
the United States under any article of
the treaty for any purpose, unless in
any particular case the congress,
which. under the constitution has the
sole poTnr 70 declare war or authorize
the employment Of the military or
naval forces Of the United States, shall
by act Of Joint resolution 90 provide. y
viii Try 10 Defeat Treaty.
The adoption Of the resolution
served to strengthen the determination
OF the administrator forces 20 defeat
the resolution Of ratification, which
will require a tWo-thirds vote. Sem
ator Hitchcock emphat!cally reiter-
ated his intention OF voting against
the ratifying resolution containing the
Lodge program Of reservations.
Another effect Of the action, leaders
expect. will be to hasten final vote
on the treaty. The reservation was
commonly regarded as the most i'm
porsant in the entire Lodge program.
and With Il out OF the way considera-
ton will move forward with greater
speed, 1t is thought.
