MONROE DOCTRINE
ECLAUSE. FAVORED

ersIy put forward as a suggestion,

sThe proposal as advanced by nae
was for the consideration, Of article
1o of the league covenant dealing
with agEFessions. II was to the effect
that II national differences arose on
the. continent of Europe which re-
duif6d the inteFvention OF the other
signatories Of the covenant, the su-
pFeSas council IN the first instance
should call upon the nations Of EU-

eIt would be the same for every
continsht, provided the nations OF
that continent were, adequately
equipped 70 handle the situation.
II repeat that this suggestion was
not "a the form OF a motion and was
net acted upon. But 1t represents my
view OF what naturally would be the
proceduTe under the covenant in such
circumstances as ] have outlined.
Ne Need To can on U. =.
eft there occurred a quarrel be-
tween two small European states, for
ingtsnce, and the supreme council de-
cided that armed Intervention was
necessary, it certainly would have
no need to call upon America. The

Senator Mccormick quotes from the

or 1915 by a great and decisive ma

Congress last November and gave the
Republicans control of both the House
