Decision as to Domestic Issues.

But you say that the question of
whether the matter complained of Is
domestic one must be decided by
the council. Naturally, some one must
decide that question. But remember
that the verdict must receive the af-
frmative vote of every state in the
world, outside the parties to the dis
pute, and that the whole world must
wick eddy, contrary to and in defiance
of the provisions of the compact, con-
spire against the United States And
to carry out such conspiracy each
nation would commit an act of suicide
by establishing precedent that
would compel it to surrender its own
purely domestic powers to a world

Mr.. McCumber also declared he per-
sonally would be opposed to leaving
Germany out of the league, fearing
that action might lead to future di-
