not include their own ideas.

The President is said TO have fully
met the objections raised by Senator
Reed and others on the Senate moor
that the United States when com
mited to the league would he forever
in the power OF any foreign combi-
nation that outvoted II.
The President Is said TO have en-
phasized on his guests the conditions

he thought.
The immigration question will not
be removed from dumestic control,
the President assured his auditors.
The purview OF the league does not
extend to such matters. The ad-
mission OF aliens will remain a do
nestle question. and no foreign nl-

The matter OF armaments was dis

terest in this phase. The President
explained that Executive Council VIII

armaments both as to armies and
navies that may be maintained by the

not susceptible TO change. The Con-

raised the question as TO the indis-
solubility OF the bonds which will tie

AMENDMENTS TO LEAGUE CON-
sTITUTIoN DIFFICULT.

The question was asked whether

be amended. The President took the
view that this would be extremely dit
ficult. Fourteen nations have agreel
to It's provisions. and any attempt to
amend the instrument would be at
Tended with difficulties.
lie expressed the belief that 1t is
highly desirable that the constitution
be accepted by the Senate as II now
stands and without injecting any new
controversial matter in the shape OF
proposed amendments.
All questions will not be subject TO
individual adoption like that OF arma-
ment. 1t was explained. Some OF the
covenants in the league constitution
are binding on all nations and per-
nit OF no option.
The view which has been expressed
In Senate debate. notably by Senator
Reed, that Britain would be able TO
dominate the league through control
os It's colonies. was answered by the
President. The Executive is said to
have pointed out that Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand and other British
colonies have the fullest degree OF
self government. They are virtually
| independent OF the mother country
on political questions. and the de-
mocracies OF those countries have
manifested their friendship for the
United States. He felt there was 10
danger TO be apprehended from this
source because the great democratic

that the United States accept this
