Article 10 says: "The members of the league undertake to respect as ! against external aggression the terri torial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league. In case of any such aggres sion or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fullfilled." President Wilson told the Senate that article 10 imposed only a moral obligation on the United States. The irreconcillables in the Senate claimed that this moral obligation was more binding on the part of this country to use force1 than a legal obligation.

When the moral obligation in article 2 was put up to the President and Sec retary Hughes they immediately began to hedge and point to the word pre serve" in article 10 and not in article 2. That one word killed the league of ' nations for America they declared. But the irreconcillables reply that its ommission from article 2 is only a sub terfuge, a slight of hand performance to get the new league across. And that is the way it looks to every im partial observer. What makes some of the irrecon cillables so angry is the fact that the very men who did most to wreck tne Wilson league and persuaded the American people that the league would menace the independnce of the repub- 'lie are now traversing Wilson's foot steps. The four power league in tne Pacific is not a world league in teri tory but in principle it is. If the Unit ed , States can form an al liance with Great Britain and France in the Pacific it can just as safely form an alliance with these powers in Europe. It was the great danger of war with Japan that has compelled the United States to join this four power alliance. Without this pact the Anglo-Japanese alliance would have continued to exist, and with that al liance war with Japan was as certain within a very few i-ears as the war in Europe in 1914. - The war in the Pa cific would have been as great if not - ' a greater world war than in Europe , ' The inevitable next step, which of course will not be taken at the arms conference, will be the entrance of the United State into a European and , therefor ft world league. The Irish : settlement will hasten this next step ' for the fundamental opposition in this country to th league lias been due to , the hostility to Great Britain fanned - into ft constant flam by th insn American, With ft scratch of Lloyd '.
