FIRST OFFICIAL INTERPRETATION
 OF ARTICLE TEN
Does Not Guarantee Territorial Integrity of Any Nation, Is Declaration of League
 Commission
By Associated Press

Geneva, December 2.-Artic1e x
 the League of Nations covenant
 does not guarantee the territorial
 integrity of any members of the
 league, according to the first offi-
 cial interpretation of that article
 of the league unanimously adopted
 by the commission on the ndnnis-
 sion of new states. This decfara-
 toni generally regarded as one of
 the most important decisions yet
 taken by the league members.
 The interpretation was provoked by the proposal of Giuseppe Motta of the Swiss delegation, who asked that If the present status of Austria were changed vorarlberg be permitted to join Switzerland. The text of the in depreciation follows:
 we cannot recommend the adop- tion of the proposal put forward by M. Motta We are indeed of the opinion that the entry of Austria into the league will in no way prejudice or af- feet the question so raised. We cannot help adding that the suggestion that admission to the league should have any such effect appears to arise from of article X. It cannot be too enphatically stated that article x does not guarantee the territorial integrity or any meInpe or the iedB ue' All it does is to condemn external ag- gression on territorial integrity and the political independence of any mem 7 bers of the league and call upon the council to consider what can be done to resist such aggression"
 NJ. Motta made the point that Vorarl- berg. at a recent plebiscite, indicated it's desire to join with Switzerland. He contended that by article x. Vorarlberg would be prohibited from becoming part of Switzerland should Austria at a later date join Germany and the pur- pose of his proposal was to remove any obstacles in the way of Vorarlberg.
 The interpretation was first drawn up by a subcommittee and was sup mitted to the full commission today.
