PICTORIAL PRESSLEY "INIMITABLE" World's Fastest Dress Designer Using a Live Model 7 PROVISIONS IN ON WHICH BATTLE RA GES Correspondent Makes Clear What Washington Senate Conflict Involves. By In C. Martin. (United I'ress Staff Oorro-pondcnt. Wasliington, Aug. 9. Seven provis ions of the peace treaty must stand the brunt of the attack by senators whoUude toward nurelv American ones demand reservations and aiiieiidinefits as the price of their vote for ratifica tion. Chief among these provisions is Arti cle Ten of the League of Nations cove nant. The text of this clause follow: "Article 10. The Members of the league undertake to respert end preserve as against external ag gression the territorial integrity and existing political independ ence of all members of the league. In case of any such aggression, or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression, the Council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled. Those demanding elimination of rti ele Ten ,or at least a reservation hy the United States respecting it, d Hare that the article obligates the t'nited States, under 4bc advico of tli League council, to join in wars even- v!r ro for preservation of the existin; 1-oundar-ies and stability of pre n gofern ments. They declare it d the Uni ted States to make war r' the order of a body composed of eigh' foreigners and one American, and that tliise nearly is aa attempt to rob co ;.!ess of Its con stitutional power of declaring and wag ing war. Those defending the article tnsm that the obligation incurred is aot a legal one, but merely one of honor, ttistl the United Btstes need not accept and; act on the advice of the council nnlemi it feels that course is proper; that the article, while obligating this govern ment to respect the territory and inde pendence of all other powera, also obli gates each of them to respect thr Uni ted States territorial integrity and poli tical independence. The next provision Is ' referrfng to the Monroe Doctrine. It rends: "Article 21. Nothing in this Covenant shall be deemed to af fect the validity of International engagements, such as treaties of arbitration or regional nnderstsnd Inea like tha Monroe Doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace.", This article does not protect the lloa roe doctrine as sa American policy, many senators declare, because it does not pnuverl define the doctrine. Thev j assert that the Monroe doctrine U not , r(,s0Ea understanding" bat a dls - " 11 Wy I 2:15 -- ' h' V" il 4:15 I FRANCES TOBIZE Celebrated Juvenile Dancer and Violinist tinctly American foreign policy. They )'waut a roserviiition to the effect tliatiit 'notliing in the treaty shull bo constru ed to imply a reliiKjiiiHliment by the t'nited Mtutes of its trnditionul atti- tions, or to reipiiie the submission of its policy regarding what it deems to be purely American questions to the decis ion or recommendation of other powers. Administration senators reply that Artirlo 21 is in fact a recognition for the first time by the great world pow ers of the Monroe Doctrine, and that tho League Covenant itself in effect ex tends the principles of that doctrine to the whole world. The third provision against which ob jection ia made is, that relating to do mestic questions. In this ence, it Is an alleged conflict of two provisions which has caused the demand for amendment or reservation These two provisions follow: "Article 11. Any War or threat of war, immediately affecting i.ny of the League, or not, is hereby de clared to be a matter of concern to the whole League, and the League shall take such action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safe guard the ibe of Nations. It is al so declared to be the friendly right of each member of the League to brin? to tho attention of the As sembly or the Council any cirtum stance whatever affecting interna tional relations which, threatens to disturb international peace or good understanding between ?tions on which peace depends." "Article 15. (paragraph eight) 1 "he dispute between the parties is flnimi! ore of them and is found by ti e i-vineil to arise out of a matter which by International law ia solely within the domestic jurisdiction of thnt party, the Coun cil shall so report, and rhall miike no recommendations as to its set tlement." Those demanding a reservation mak ing plain the refusal of tiie United fttstc to admit that the League has jurisdiction over domestic qncntinns immigration,-the tariff and regulation ; of coastwise trading, declare that Ai-ticle.ee of the council n authorizes the League to take j.iris- ! diction. Thev poii.t to tho lr,ntU8 "a ly war or threat of war," and "any circumstance whatever affecting iawi national relations," in profif of ,hcir contention.

Its text follows: "Article 1 (paragraph 3): Any member of the League may, after two years notice of its intention to do so, withdraw from the League, provided that nil its international obligations and all its obligations under this covenant shall have been fulfilled at the time of its withdrawal' The criticism here is that the provis ion allaws the League that Is, foreign nations to decide In the case 0f tho United States, whether this government I has fulfilled its obligations. The de mand is that tho right of the United Htiites to be the Judge of Its own obli gations and the fulfillment of them be recognized. , The reply made to this criticism is; that the provision applies not only to the United States, but to every nation in the League, and that what is fair fot ene is fair far all. I)iarmnmont, as provided for In Artt cin o or me i.ovcnjtnt is another see jtion causing dissatisfaction, ann a jmaiid for a reservation. This provision reads: "Article 8. The members of the League recognir-e that the mainten ance of peace requires the redue tion of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with nation al safety and the enforcement by common action of international ob ligations.

Another criticism is that if the "Un ited Mutes accept a this article, ii will biud itself to accept the vnleis ot 'n council, made up of of on Aiiuriliia and eiht foreigners, as to the sue vt the American army and navy. Hut the league's supporters cunt' ml that Article 8 goes as far toward., dis nnmiment at the ler.gue could go, Mit Hint nations entering the league ia good faith will make the article effect ive by agreeing to the council 's sug gestions, unless they clearly run counter to national safety. And t.ie article dues not invade Amerieun -soverignty, they claim, because it leaves to tins govern ment tho option of accepting or rtject injf the council's suggestions. The sixth exception is taken to A i ti de 19, which provides: "Article 19. The assembly may from time to time advise the ren.n. sillcratlon by members of tli league of treaties which have lie come inapplicable, and the coiimiI erution of international rnnditiunq whose continuance mirht cHdmi),er the pence of the world." This, critics of the league contend, ojwns the door to constant attemri by Am-igii nations to upset the .Vlmroa doctrine and to Interfere with Amcit can affairs. They point out that the league, under this articlo, would lime power to declare that relations bet wee the United Htntei and Mexico threr till ed the world's peace, and could order cither the United Htates or mime Euro pean power to step in and change con ditions. This contention is dubbed an absurd ity by the leagiie'a supporters, whg ia aist the only effect of I lie article is to provide a mean for readjustment which may become necessary as condi tions change. The seventh and final objection, and, Article X, the strongest, is .evel- (Continued on page ten) PluiriMnr and Watr es. nt...-. r-A it & t f.r r. r- mas l liwm nil,..?...'"' 'T'w
