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."

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.
Dr. Merriman's earliest work, to
which he still likes to refer, was the
study of the geology of the John Day
country in Oregon. 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

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

and government finances and senators
from the western and southern states
are hopeful that he also will deal with
the situation which the farmers are
facing as a result of falling produce
prices.
