Any lawyer can tell you that the
Constitution of the United States is
supreme and that Congress can not
make law or treaty of any kind
that conflicts with it. Therefore. no
League of Nations or any other such
thing can cause a single soldier to be
sent from the United States to other
countries without Congress so directs
by specific action every time such a
proposition arises, just like it has al
walks done. The constitution can not
be changed or this or any other pro-
vision except by submitting an amend
ment to the Legislature of each State
and having three-fourths Of them rat
ify it Anybody who says the League
of Nations can send our soldiers to
other countries is either grossly ignor-
ant or deliberately lying.
