When Mr. Wilson brought to thin
country the league covenant as re
ported to the Paris conference. I
urged, on the same platform with
him. that we join the league. 1
thereafter rocotnmended
amend

into its final form.
Had 1 been in the Senate I would
have voted for the league and treaty
as submitted; and I advocated its
ratification accordingly.
I did not
think and do not now think that any
thing in the l«*ague covenant as went
to the Senate would violate the Con-i

would involve us in war« which It
would not be to the highest interest1
of the world and this country to sup

need be. by military force.

Article X on predatory nations would
restrain them from war as the dec

done, am! that the requirement of i
