OF those articles, as / understand il
from your statement. the committees
view was that the obligations under
articles 10 and IL. whatever they are,
are moral obligations?
The Washington times., 1919-08-19

Senator McCumber-Mr. President
there are a number of Senators who
sincerely believe that under the con-
struction Of article 10. taken in con-
nection with other clauses and other
articles in the treaty, the council can
suggest what we should do-of course
while they admit the council can only
advise and suggest, that ii is never
theIess our moral duty Immediately
TO obey the council, without exercis-
ing our own judgment as to whether
we shall go to war or otherwise.
Now. the public, the American people,
a great proportion of them, have that
same conviction, which is contrary to
YOUR view. Do you not think, there
fore. that il would be we'll to have q
reservation inserted in our resolution
that shall so construe that section as

American people, but to the world
that Congress may use its own judg
ment as to what it will do. and that

the council will not De considered
breach of the agreement?
The President-We differ, Senator,
only as to the form of action. I think
mistake to put it in the resolution of
ratification; but l do hope that we
are at liberty, contemporaneously
with our acceptance Of the treaty, to
interpret our moral obligation under
that article.

The President-Yes, sir; ordinarily.
Senator Knox-Thst would be a
matter that would require very little

which were differently construed.
Senator Fall-Precisely, but her ac-
quiescence would be by her accept
ing the invitation, when extended,
either to join the league or not to
join the league. In other words, upon
ratification by three of the powers, q
status Of peace Is established, and as
to those three powers and Germany
all the rules and regulations con.
tanned in the treaty OF peace become
operative. As to the other nations
which have not ratified. the status
OF peace exists; that is, war has ter
minated. Now, that being the case,
and Germany being out of the league,
not having been invited to join the
league, IL in ratifying the treaty we
ratify it with certain explanations
or reservations, even in the ratify-
ing resolution, when the time comes
and Germany is invited to become a
member of the league, or when she
applies, under the admission clause
Of the league. for membership there

treaty. 1t is part OF the treaty
which she has signed, and we are not
at liberty to change any part Of that
treaty without the acqUiescence Of
the other contracting party.
The Washington times., 1919-08-19

Senator Borah-I wish to ask some
questions in regard to the secret
treaty. I do not feel as free about
those matters as do about the
league because there are certain
hings that 1 recognize may not be
ntireIy open for public eonsidera-
ion; but. nevertheless. in 50 far as
Se can, I should like to know when
he first knowledge came to this Gov
ernment with reference to the secret
treaties between Japan, Great Britain,
italy, and France concerning the Ger
man possessions in Shantung?

retary Lansing had looked that up
and told you. can only reply from
my own knowledge and my own
knowledge came after 1 reached
Paris.
Senator BOrah-We did get a reply
from Mr.. Lansing to the same effect
so far as he was concerned. When
did the secret treaty between Great
Britain, France and the other nations
of Europe with refernce to certain
adjustments in Europe first come to
your knowledge? Was that after you
had reached Paris also?
The President-Yes; the whole series

members Of the league or not. Is here

peace Of nations"
What l am particularly anxious to
know is whether or not the construc-
tion which was placed upon these two
articles by the committee which
framed the league was one that il
was a.binding obligation from a legal
standpoint, or merely a moral obliga-
tion.
The President-Senator, I tried to
answer with regard to article 10.
Senator BOrah-Yes. exactly
The President would apply II
equally with regard TO article IL.
though I ought to hasten TO say that
we did not formulate these interpreta-
tiOnS. ] can only speak from my con-
fdent impression from the debates
that accompanied the formulation OF
the covenant.
