Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OKEGONIAN, FKIDAT, DECEMBER 3, 1920 ARTICLE 10 HELD 1 Dill GHEE Integrity Not Given Any Mem ber of League. INTERPRETATION IS MADE Commission on Admission of Xew States Rules Officially on. Meaning of Clause. GEXEVA. Dec. 2. Article X of the league of nations covenant does not guarantee the territorial integrity of any member of the leagroe. according to the first official interpretation of that article, by the league, unani mously adopted by the commission on the admission of new states. This declaration is generally regarded as one of the most important decisions jet taken by the league members. The interpretation was provoked by the proposal of Giuseppe Motta of the fjwlss delegation, who asked that if the present status of Austria were changed, Vorarlberg be permitted to Join Switzerland. The text of the In terpretation follows: Adoption Not Recommended. Ve cannot recommend the adop tion of the proposal put forward by J1. Motta. We are indeed of the opin ion that the entry of Austria into the league will in no way prejudice or affect the question so raised. We cannot help adding that the sugges tion that admission to the league should have any such effect appears to arise from a misconstruction of Article X. It cannot be too emphat ically stated that Article X does not guarantee the territorial integrity of any member of the league. All it does is to condemn external aggrea Elon on territorial integrity and the political Independence of any member of the league and call upon the coun cil to consider what can be done to resist such aggression." Effect I Considered. M. Motta made the point that Vor arlberg at a recent plebiscite indi cated its desire to join with Switzer land, lie contended that under Article X Vorarlberg would be prohibited from becoming part of Switzerland should Austria at a later date join Germany, and the purpose of his pro posal was to remove any obstacles in the way of Vorarlberg. Amendments for revision held the floor of the league of nations as sembly today, the debate bringing out clearly that amendment of the covenant was in the minds of nearly all the delegates, some of whom were more pressing in their desire for a perfect instrument than others, but all thinking of a re vision that would remove obstacles to the entry of the United States. Article 10 was not mentioned, but has been frequently discussed in email circles, and N. W. Kowell of Canada, when he insisted that adop tion of a resolution by a committee should not be understood as closing the door to the presentation before this assembly of other amendments than those proposed by the Scandi navians, is said to have had in mind the article that has been subjected to much contention. Approach Is Studied. The delegations of the British do minions have been studying how to approach the assembly on this ques tion. The eventual proposal to eliminate article 10 is somewhat compromised by the general understanding that consideration of all proposed changes should be postponed until studied by a special committee. This under standing, however, came largely from the anxiety of the delegates not to precipitate revision until the attitude nf tha TTnitA1 Statoa unHo. tha nam government is known. Leon Bourgeois, of the French delegation, is preoccupied lest the committee investigations should lead it to consider alterations involving a revision of the Versailles treaty and he demanded today that it be under stood that the committee should de clare itself incompetent to consider any amendment to the covenant that involved modification of the treaty. Vnanlmity Is Prevented. The close of the debate brought a moment of great suspense when Senor Pueyrredon of Argentina, who failed to take part in the debate, voted alone against the resolution re jecting consideration of amendments to the covenant at this session. The presiding officer, M. Hymans, hesi tated as if unwilling to believe that the lone delegate would prevent unanimity. M. Vivianl, France, relieved the ten sion when he remarked that post ponement of consideration of amend ments involved only a question of procedure on which unanimity is not necessary. Thereupon the chairman declared adopted the resolution which provided that the Scandinavian amendments be studied by a commit tee and giving it authority to con eider any other amendments pro posed. The assembly has made a serious mistake in postponing decision of the amendment to the covenant, in the opinion of Senator Pueyrredon of Ar gentina, who said to the Associated Press after the meeting: Pueyrredon la C'ongrratulated. "The assembly has put itself in the position of having built the roof of a house before its foundation, be cause I regard Argentina's amend ments as fundamental. "The order of the day called for discussion of the amendments and the all-important question should not have been delayed until the next meeting of the Jssembly. This is a constituent assembly; discussion should be permitted. I regard Argen tina's proposed amendments as abso lutely necessary to the strong founda tion of the league. "I may make another attempt to bring the matter before this assembly if on careful consideration I find it possible." Senor Pueyrredon said he had re ceived congratulations from several South American delegates and dele gates of the Scandinavian countries on his stand. Senor Pueyrredon's chief amend ments include compulsory arbitration by the international court of justice, the election of members of the coun cil, and the admission of all states. Denmark LJjnita Army Use. TJenmark has notified the league that both houses of the Danish par liament must pass a special bill be fore Danish troops can join the inter national league army. The Danish delegation explained, however, that all the political parties In Denmark favor the sending of troops to the "Vilna plebiscite zone. Sir Eric Drum mond, secretary-general of the league, has sent the following message to President Wilson expressing grati tude of the asserrjbly at his accept ance of Armenian arbitration: "The president read to the full as sembly this morning your telegram and the reply sent by the council to , it. The assembly welcomes your, ac ceptance of the offer with .enthusiasm and asks me to convey to you its unanimous assurance of complete moral support of every' member of the league in the great mission you havejaij unaeriatten ana I ueg coniiaenny to declare that the opinion not only of the people of the United States, but ! of the whole civilized world. Is with you in your endeavor "to secure such results that the tragedy of Armenia shall finally cease." MEDIATOR TO ACT FOR XT. S. President Announces Appointee Will Represent Government. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.

Measure if Enacted Would Prac tically Suspend Movement to This Country Two Years. WASHINGTON, Dec. t. Tentative approval was given today by members of the house Immigration committee to the bill framed by Representative Johnson of Washington, chairman, which practically would suspend im migration for a two-year period. Mr. Johnson said he would introduce the measure Monday, when congress con venes. Committee members said they were hopeful that both the house and senate would dispose of Immigration legislation early. Under an agreement at the com mittee conference, entry for perma nent residence in the United States would be limited to parents, grand parents, sons and grandsons u ider 18 years of age, and unmarried or widowed daughters and granddaugh ters of citizens or of aliens who have signified their intention of becoming naturalized. Clauses permitting the entrance for a six-months period of travelers, offi cials of foreign governments, their families, servants und employes and of aliens who have resided for at least one year continuously in Canada, Cuba or Mexico met with general ap proval of committee members, as did the admission of students for a tem porary etay. MR. TEAL IS HONOR GUEST Librarian of Congress Praises "Work of University of Oregon. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington, Dec 2. Joseph N. Teal of Portland, newly-appointed member of the shipping board, and Dr. C. Mer riman, formerly of the University of California, now the head of the Car negie institute here, were honor guests at a round-table luncheon giv en today by Herbert Putnam, libra rian of congress. Other guests were Senator Hitchcock of. -Nebraska and Representatives Good of Iowa and Byrnes of Tennessee, and Commis sioner Daniels of the Interstate Com merce commission.

In his talk today he spoke in the highest terms of the University of Oregon and Its faculty. He said the teaching at Oregon university Is not confined simply to the study of textbooks, but that the students are trained to do original thinking. STOCKMEN PROTEST RISE Boosting of Grazing Fees for live stock Displeases Bodies. SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 2. In sup port of the fight which Senator King of Utah has announced he will make in congress to prevent an increase in grazing fees for livestock upon na tional forest reserves. Thomas Red mond, secretary of the Utah Cattle and Horse Growers' association, states that three conventions which will assemble in Salt Lake City be ginning next Monday will adopt res olutions which will be forwarded to Washington. The three conventions are those of the Western States marketing con ference, called the California Cattle men's association, the United Stock men's association and the Utah Cattle and Horse Growers' association. The first two associations draw their membership from all of the western states. Mr. Redmond estimates that 1000 western stock growers will at tend the convention. RATE RISE IS REFUSED Company Declared to Kali in. Giv ing Commission Facts. v SALEM, Or., Dec. 2. (Special.) Because of the failure on the part of the Cottage Grove Electric company to set out clearly the financial status of the -corporation and oher informa tion essential to the conduct of its business, the Oregon public service commission, in an order Issued here today, denied the application of the corporation for an increase in rates. "The entire record is pregnant with evasion and attempt to conceal that which is most important to the com mission and to patrons In atempting to arrive at a proper solution," said the order. "Where the record Is void of any semblence or attempt even to approximate the revenues then it is entirely barren of anything upon which to base an order fixing rates." CHIEF BUSY ON MESSAGE Wilson Recommendations May Go to Congress Tuesday. WASHINGTON. Dec 2. President Wilson still is at work on his annual message to congress. It is under stood that the present plan is to com municate it to congress next Tuesday, the day following the opening of the session.
