Article X is not in fact anything
more than the moral foundation of
the covenant. All that is efficacious In
the covenant is set forth in other ar
ticies.''
M. Bourgeois in the course OF his
statement to the correspondents Sun
day night said that Article X could be
eliminated without in any way modi-
flying the league of nations, and de-
clared also that it was not considered
so important by Europeans as Amer

At the close of the interview and ar
ter NJ. Bourgeois had Withdraw, the
question was raised among the Amer
lean correspondents as to the effect of
his utterances ON the presidential elec-
ton in the United States. 1t was
thereupon agreed to withhold the
statement until NJ. Bourgeois could re-
view in this light and give his author
ity for its publication.
NJ Comert informed the correspon-
dents this morning that he had ex-
planned to NJ. Bourgeois the impor-
tance of the remarks and requested NJ.
Bourgeois to say whether he intended
them to be published in the United
States. M. Bourgeois replied, said NJ.

was quite willing the interview should
be printed.
