construction placed on it here in
this body.

all controversy in the future and
to escape the dangers that might
lurk in this treaty. due to the con.
struction placed upon it. by other
governments. there should be an
American construction placed on
tia construction stating that we
reserve the right of self-defense,
that we will not give up the Monroe
doctrine, that we do not agree to
sanctions under the League Of
Nations and that we do not involve
ourselves in any other treaty.

be placed upon it in report from
the Foreign Relations Committee.

Borah. 81 submitted that report
to the Secretary OF State and he
said he had no objection to it.

other signatory nations. felt
that would be reservation to the
treaty and that the foreign govern.
ments would regard it as such.
The Secretary of State said he
could not agree to such a pro-
cedure. In view Of all this debate,
/ feel any action now would affect
this treaty very vigorously abroad

in foreign countries, I cannot take
the responsibility for conniving at
Its wreclage."
A compromise, based on a COM
mittee report, could end the con-
troversy in an hour. Unless some
such compromise Is effected, the
debate may range throughout the
remainder Of the week with the
ultimate result in doubt.
