treaty or any part thereof shall ever
be construed as in any degree either
interfering with or restricting the fol-
lowing three Essential principles
which are a part of the established
policy of the United States:
First--That the Monroe Doctrine is
an essential national policy OF the
United States, and that the necessity
and extent OF Its application and en-

part Of any other nation.
SecondA-That internal questions

as immigration and tariff. notwtth-

nlits that may from time to time
naturally be connected herewith,
are matters to be determined solely
by the country in which they arise

Third-That inasmuch as tho United

with the honor and interest and duty
of the American people, and
with the further understanding
that the right Of the United states TO
withdraw from the League of Ma

to withdraw and after the expiration
of the time prescribed by the cove

for itself whether all its international
obligations and all its obligations I'M

peace with the reservations herein
above set out the Senate cannot re-
frain from expressing its deep regret
at the provisions of the treaty (Sec-
tons 1875, 157, 1889 which transfers
TO Japan such broad rights and pow
