SENATOR KELLOGG
FOR LEAGUE
Republican Senator From Minnesota
Says Covenant Will Not Interfere
With Constitution Of v. S.-Favors
Reservations Of Monroe Doctrine and
Domestic Questions.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Provisions Of
the league Of nations covenant i'm
posing obligations upon congress do
not violate the American constitution,
and the covenant can be ratified with
reservations without re-
quiring resubmission to the other ma
tions, in the opinion Of Senator Kel-
logg, republican, Minnesota. expressed
in a legal argument in the senate to-
day.
Senator kellogg said he was willing
to try" the league, tho he did not be-
lieve it would permanently prevent
war. He suggested reservations deal
ing with the Monroe doctrine, domes-
tic questions, and the power Of con-
gresA to decide questions of peace or
war. -e..
Citing the alliance of 177S with
France the Jay treaty of 1874, and
many other obligations entered into by
the United States, the speaker said
there was ample precedent for various
guarantees in the covenant which have
been objected to on the ground Of con-
stitutionality. "
Because a treaty limits sovereign
power--T speak Of sovereign power as
the power to make laws--it Is not
thereby invalid" he continued. every
treaty we negotiate to certain extent
destroys certain freedom Of sovereign
action. A treaty, of which we have
many, comforting certain privileges OF
trade, Is binding. and II we perform our
agreement. 1t limits legislative action.
"A treaty does not violate the con-
stitution because violation Of treaty
may cause war. The violation Of many
Of our treaties might cause war IL tho
other party to the treaty so desired"
