This reservation effeetuay kills participation in the
League of Nations far the United States is concern
ed for joint responsibility to maintain peace and preserve
the integrity of the liberated nations is evaded Briefly
the senate wanted the United States to share in the ben
efs of the league but not in the responsibilities The lat
ter part of the reservation is supefuous for no treaty
change the constitutional right of congress to declare
war.
A league Of nations to preserve world peace in which
the members Of the league decline interfere with
overses between nations to prevent conflict and enforce
peace becomes farce This reservation destroys the prn
cple upon which the league organized, and hence
would not be acceptable the president who has asserted
that he will only accept reservations which do not destroy
the spirit of the instrument.
Lodges object from the first expressed in his round
robin Of year ago. was to kill league Of nations We
have in consequence European league which lacking the
American eayen Of democracy the perpetuaon Of
the old principle Of national aggrandzement of the strong
at the expense of the wear Under the reservation Amer
lea secures peace but not effective league of nations
to secure world peace.
If the deadlock continues, as seems probable, it is
likely that the League of Nations will become the issue of
the presidential campaign with some league opponent
like Lodge the candidate of party and league
advocate, like Hoover, the candidate of the other.
