lions Of merely domestic policy; thar the
system practically thrnsts aside the de.
selcpment OF international law; that the
scheme creates a super-goyernment. and
fiai the plan was not so arranged as To
iriiculaic with the constitutional GOV.

sound in themselves these could not
reasonably be made the basis for the
election Of the League entirely. On
the either hand. they suggest what reser
sa,ions the United States might make
in entering the League.
Every nation that has entered the
league Of Nations has had the same an
prehensions. The same apprehensions
still exists among them, and the League

way from making these explicit by

basis Of the covenant and form another
league would he a dangerous PROPOSE
lion. The plan is Impractical owing to
The fact that the conditions Of the world
are not yet settled and msny of the
nations are not yet disarmed.
If the United States deems il wise TO
enter the League with reservations. il can
do so. Proposals TO this effect might
be based upon Mr.. Roots objections. hut
