Wliicli in tli< Opinion of League Supporter* in America Would Practically Make Organization I'owerli'nu I)y DAVID umnnrii I'M ?? TU? AlrtHH) Washington, Dec. 23,?Germany's effort to have the cove nant of the League of Nations modified so as to permit her to have freedom of action as well as freedom from oblina-! tion to preserve peace by physical or economic force is re- i garded here as likely to give the Americans who have been debating the subject their first concrete idea of what the League really means. From the first the United States has balked at the thought that the League might, if- America joined, in Jt> volve a moral obligation to flf tise force. The League itself * did not interpret its covenant on that point and American [ entrance to the League to ?? large extent has been pre vented by that very point. Nov Germany^ request will bring forth a definite expression not only of the opinion of the League but a treaty between Ger many and the League which de> Ones the limit of Germany's ob ligations. I] Should the League insist that Germany must agree to use physi cal or economic force when some datlon haa been unanimously de \ clared by the Council to have vio lated the Covenant and broken the peace of the world- then tho anti-League debaters in the Unit ed States will feel that their lnfc?: fight against American entrance was well worth while and that the "tfteconcllable" viewpoint of war absolutely right. Should the League, on the other, band, admit Germany and give bar the right to act as she pleaaej With respect to assistance in a r* military way, the biggest argu ment made against American ad mission will have been punctured. It is interesting to note that f the principle In the famous reaer vation to article ten penned by the | lata Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Is msde the msln condition by Qerraany though she asks not only a limitation of the obligation to preserve peace but brings out tho Implications of another article in L ? ihe Covenant relating to penalties io be Imposed by the several pow ers against a state which hax started or threatened a war of regression or injuatlce.
