Washington. Feb. 15. (U. P.) Com
plete readiness to accede to President
Wilson's requeet that .congressional de
bate on the League pf Nations be with-
held until he has talked it over with the
foreign affairs committees was evl-
' denceu tonight by house and senate
leaders.
, They may not be able to forestall dis
cussion entirely, but any effort to bring
on general debate will be met by ad
ministration leaders with the statement
that the president has promised to go
over the league constitution, article by
article, with the full membership of both
house and senate foreign affairs com
(jnlttees. and that, until he has had that
. opportunity, critical debate would mani
festly be unfair.
- The senate's silence today on the
league was based largely upon one point
, made by the president In his cablegram
to the two committees. This Is the fact
that H nations,' representing the bulk
of the civilized people of the world, had
agreed In formulating the'- league's
charter.
To Give Mtinti a Chanre
The unwisdom of prematurely settling
upon senatorial opinions against the
(clearly expressed joint wilf of all these
people is apparent, senators said. An
other reason u a desire to give the
American people a chance, over Hun
day, to react to the proposal and ex
press their opinions.
The president's invitation to dinner at
the White House will undoubtedly be
accepted when the two committees meet
in Joint session next week. This meet
ing has already been called for Wednes
day. It was called to' discuss an invita
tion from the Inter-Parliamentary union
that a delegation from the house and
' senate be sent to Paris to attend the
union's March meeting.
House committee members favor send
ing the-. delegation to Paris. Senator
' Hitchcock, chairman of the senate com
mittee, said tonight he sees no objection
'to it. A similar invitation, made a year
ago, was declined when President Wil
, son objected. He took the view that.
during the war. the legislative body
'' should stay here and attend to winning
"the war. That objection having been
removed, members of the two commit
tees explained today they can see no
- ."reason why the Invitation should not
rnow be accepted.
May Name Committee
If the joint meeting decides this should
be done., a resolution will be Introduced
,;woviding for the appointment of nine
senators and 16 house members.
Members feel that this trip would
prove valuable in creating, an accord
with European legislators, in view of
the closer relations which America's par
ticipation in the league's activities will
entail. Kngland. France and Italy com
'pose the union, which discusses legisla
'tion chiefly along international lines.
At Wednesday's meeting not only this
Invitation and that of President Wilson,
but the league constitution itself, will
be taken up. Committee members al
ready have begun careful study of the
constitution, article by article, and will
be prepared to ask President Wilson a

Much gratification expressed at
the president's invitation. It U the first
time since the war began that he. has
called in ' committees of congress for
counsel. Administration senators said
the president's plan to ,lay before con
gress all he knows about the league plan
will immeasurably aid them in obtain
ing its approval.
Monroe Doetrlse lint
' From the haze' in which first read
ing of the constitution left congress
men there emerged today two clearly
crystallized views of the league's ef
fect on the American Monroe doctrine.
The Republican view is tiat the
league absolutely abrogates and, destroys
the Monroe doctrine. The I Democratic
view is that it does not even endan
ger it. ,
The Republican view was stated by a
Republican leader who declined to allow
his name to be used, but who speaks
with the highest party authority.
"The practically unanimous Republl -can
viewis," said this senator, "that
the American people have got to begin
conMdering the possibility of a league
mandate sending Japan into Mexico as
overseer and guardian, or Great Brit
ain Into Venezuela. The Monroe doc
trine will not exist under tfie league
plan, the American people must realize
They must begin thinking about this in
order to make up their minds whether
they are willing It should be so."
Senator Hitchcock, for tha Democrats,
had no hesitation in being quoted to
V effect:
"Destruction of the Monroe doctrine
does not necessarily follow the opera
tion of the league. I do not believe that
i any- nation except - Germany takes ex
ception to the Monroe doctrine, and it
it not now to be a member of the
league.
"The United States, through President
Wilson, lias declared emphatically
against assuming responsibility across
the sea, hence it naturally would fall
to our lot to look after affairs in this
hemisphere, just as Europe will look
after other states."
A few senators today expressed opin-
' 1 ..... . An Kn 1 n mm Kilt oil IL'ro rar.
una vii inc ' "
ful to state their conclusions were sub
ject to revision after further study. No
question that has arisen during the war
oi since has been met so cautiously on
Capitol hill.
Senator Hitchcock today agreed wtih
Senator Iewis, Democratic whip, that
President Wilson probably will ask
some action indicating the senate's po-
; sition before he returns to Paris, so that
I he may know before his return how the
! league plan stands.
I Instead of ratification ,jf the league
plan, as in the case of a treaty by a
two-thirds vote, a resolution of ap
proval may be proposed. A majority
vote of the senate would pass this.
The president Is expected to outline
his wishes in this respect when he meets
the two committees.

ments of war lends itself to grave
objections and direct the executive

attendant upon such manufac
ture can be prevented, due regard
being paid to the necessities of
those countries which are not able
to manufacture for themselves the
munitions and implements of war
necessary for their safety.
The high contracting parties un
dertake in no way to conceal from
each other the conditions of such of

ing parties or not, is hereby de
clared a matter of concern . to the
league, and the high contracting

wise and effective to safeguard the
peace of nations.

each of the high contracting: parties
to draw the attention of the body
of delegates o- the executive coun
cil to any circumstances affecting
the international Intercourse which
threatens to disturb international
peace or the good understanding be
tween nations upon which peace
depends.
Arbitration Is Demanded
Article XII : The high contract
ing parties agree that should dis
putes arise between them which
cannot be adjusted by the ordinary
processes of diplomacy, they will in
no case resort to war without pre
viously submitting the questions
and matters involved either to
arbitration or to inquiry by the
executive council and until after
three months after the award by
the arbitrators or recommendations
by the executive council, and that

war as against a member of the
league which complies with the
award of the arbitrators or. the rec
ommendation of the executive coun

powers
Power to Declare Blockade ,
Article XVI: Should any of the
high contracting parties break or
disregard Its covenants under ar
ticle XII H shall thereby ipso facto
be declared to have committed an
act of j war as against all the other
members of the league, which
herebyj undertakes immediately to
subject it to severance of all trade
or financial relations, the prohibi
tion of all intercourse between their
nationals and the nations of the
covenant-breaking state, and the
preventing and the prevention of all
financial, commercial or personal
intercourse between the nationals of
the covenant-breaking state and the
nationals of any other state, whether
a member of the league or not.
It shall be the duty of the execu
tive council In such cases to rec
ommend what effective military or "
naval i force the members of the
league; shall severally contribute to
the armed forces to be, used to pro
tect the covenants of the league.
The I high contracting parties
agree, ! further, that they will mutu
ally support one another in the
financial and economio measures
which! may be taken under this ar
ticle, in order to minimize the loss
and inconvenience resulting from
the above measures, and that they
will mutually support one another
In resisting any special measures
"aimed at one of their number by
the covenant-breaking state and
that i they will afford passage
through their territory to the forces
; of any of the high contracting par
ties who are cooperating to pro
tect the covenants of the league.
Article XVII : In the event of dis
putes f between one state member of
the league and another state which
is not a memberyof the league, or be
tween states not - members of the
league, the high-contracting parties
agree that the state or states not
members, of the league shall be in
vited! to accept the obligation of
membership in the league for the
purposes of such dispute, upon such
conditions as the executive council
may j deem Just, and upon accept
ance I of any " such invitation ; the
above provisions shall - be applied
with j such modifications as may be
deemed necessary by the league.
Upon such indication being given,
the executive council shall Institute
an inquiry into the circumstances
and merits of the dispute and rec
ommend steps to be taken as seem
to be best and effectual.
In i the event of a power so invited
refusing to accept the obligations
of membership in the league for
the purpose of a dispute which, in
the case of a state member of the
league, would constitute a breach of
article XII, the provision of ytlcle
XIV shall be applicable as against
the state taking such action.
If both parties to the dispute,
when so invited, refuse to accept the
obligations of membership in the
league for the purpose of such dls
putej, the executive council may take
such action and make such recom
mendation that will - prevent hostili
ties and will result in the settlement
of tjie dispute.
Traffic In Arms Supervised
Article XVIII : The high contract
ing parties agree that the league
shall be entrusted with general su
pervision of the trade in arms and
ammunition with the countries In
which the control of this traffic is
necessary in the common interest.
Article XIX: To those colonies and
territories which as a consequence
of the late war have . ceased to be
under the sovereignty i of the states
which formerly owned them and
which are inhabited by peoples not
yet able to stand by themselves un
der the strenuous conditions of the
modern world, there should be ap- :
plied the principle that the well be
ing and development of such peo
ples form a sacred trust of civillza
tloni and that securities for the per
manence of this trust should be
embodied in the constitution of the
league.
The .best method of giving practi
cable effect to this principle is that
the j tutelage of such peoples should
be entrusted to advanced nations
who, by reason of their resources,
by experience and their geographi
cal position, can best undertake the
responsibility, and .that this tutelage
should be accepted by them as man
datories on behalf of the league.
Recognition Given Development
. The character of the mandate
should differ according to the state
of the development of the people,
the I geographical situation of the
territory, its economic conditions and
other similar circumstances.
Certain communities formerly be
longing to the Turkish empire have
reached a stage of development that
their existence as independent na
tions can be provisionally recog
nized, subject to the rendering of
advice toward development and as
sistance by a mandatory power un
til such time as they are able to
stand alone. The wishes of these
communities must be a principal
condition in the selection of the man
datory power.
Other peoples, especially those of
Central Africa, are at such a stage
that the mandatory must be respon
sible for the administration of the
territry BUbject to conditions which
will guarantee freedom of conscience
or 1 religion, subject only . to the
maintenance of public order and
morals, the prohibition of abuses
such as ithe slave trade, the arms
traffic and the prevention of the
establishment of fortifications or
military or naval bases and of mlll--tary
training of the natives for other
than police purposes and the defense
of territory, and will also secure
equal opportunities for the trade and
commerce for otljer members of the
league.
I States to Gaard Islands
There are ( territories, -such as
Southwest Africa and certain of the
South Pacific islands, which, owing
to the sparseness of their pop-Ua-tion,
or their small size, or their
remoteness from the centers of civil
ization, or their geographical con
tiguity to the mandatory state, and
other circumstances, can be best ad
ministered' under the laws of the
mandatory state as integral por
tions thereof, subject to the safe
guards above mentioned in the- in
terest of the Indigenous population.
Jn "every case of mandate the man
datory state shall render to the
league an annual report in refer
ence to the territory committees to
Its charge.
The degree of authority, control
or administration to be exercised by
the mandatory state shall, if not
previously agreed upon by the high
contracting parties, In each case be
explicitly defined by the executive
council in a special act or charter.
To Review Yearly' Reports

ther agree to establish at the seat of

parties agree to place under the
control, of the league all international
bureaus already established by gen
eral treaties, if the parties to such
treaties consent. Fundamentally,
they agree that all such interna

future shall be placed under control
of the league.
Seeret Treaties Unlawful
Article XVIII : The high contract
ing parties agree that every treaty
or international engagement entered
into hereafter by any state member
of the league shall be forthwith reg
istered with the 'secretary general,
and as soon as possible published by
him, . and that such treaties or in
ternational . engagements shall be

Article XXIV : It shall be the right
of the body of delegates from time
to time to advise the reconsidera
tion by states-members of the league,
of treaties which have become in
applicable, and other international
conditions of which the continuance
may endanger the peace of the
world.
Nations Bind Themselves

parties severally agree that the pres
ent covenant is accepted as abrogat

which are inconsistent ' with the
terms of this covenant, it shall be
the duty of such power to take im
mediate steps to procure its release
from such obligations.

tives compose the executive council
and by three-fourths of the states ,
whose representatives compose the
body of the delegates.
