Cites Lansing-Ishii Agreement.

To the reports attributed to some
delegates in Paris that a recognition
of the Monroe doctrine would only
open up the whole covenant to reser-
vations OF special interest, as, for ex-
ample. Japan's special interests in the
far east, the answer is made that the
principle Of the Lansing-Ishii special
agreement negotiated in November.
1917. can be embodied in the covenant
at this time and go far toward satis-
tying not merely the objections Of
large number of American citizens.
but also the growing opposition Of
many japanese.
The Lansing-Ishii agreement was a
mutual recognition Of the principle
of geographical interests. "Terri-
torial propinquity," said the agree
ment, creates special relations be-
tween dntries, and, consequently.
the government of the United States
recognizes that Japan has special in
terests in China. particularly in the
partto which her possessions are con-
tiguous.'

Separation Inevitable.

International lawyers do not regard
the covenant as conforming in tech
nique to the usages Of International
law. Declarations of policy are in
terwoven with specific obligations.
Separation Of these two things is
inevitable. If any declarations Of DOL
Icy are required, they can be append
ed as such or as an instruction to the
executive council or for the guidance
of the body of delegates with an un-
derstanding as to what authority. ex-
ecutive council or the delegates them
selves, shall decide how and when
these declarations Of policy shall be
satisfied.
Unquestionably the covenant and the
series OF peace treaties will be pre-
sented to the next Congress Of the
United States simultaneously for con-
sideradon, and as the validity Of the
treaties and as the force that shall
give them sanction depends upon how
the international concert behind them
all Is constituted. the most vital task
before the Paris conference today is
careful amendment Of the plan where-
by the peace conference will resolve
to create a society Of free nations,

"others Should Go as Far"

If the United States was willing to go
that far in 1917, other powers Of the
world ought to be willing at this time
to recognize the special interests of the
United States in this hemisphere, espe-
cialy since the United States is obli-
ga1ed nersel1 by the covenant to respect
and preserve the territorial integrity q nd
political Independence Of all nations, in
cluding those in the North and South
American continents.
Lastly, there is no provision for the
method OF choice by the smaller nations

peace conference proves that such oues-

was decided to make the first
call upon the stock subscriptions
at once. This call in accordance
with the terms of the subscrip-

the amount subscribed.
This company was organized,

with a total subscription of $l3,-

the building of residences in or

continues. 1t was at first the
intention of the promoters for
the company TO enter upon ac-
