it is not bound by any amendment J to which Is does not freely consent, no matter how overw helminyly the! majority by which it :s auoptid. Vct the difficulty met with at The Hague, J whereby .1 few small objectors could

block a plan, is avoided uy providing that a Mate which is unwl.ling to consent to an amendment duly adopted cease, to Im a member ot th; league. It car not be a party to a covenant that doci not bind all equally, ai d htnee it goes out. ThU is in accorn with the gentral principle which runs all through the covenant: thut the members as indtp.nü. ent foveroijn states assume certain delinite obligations fapixdhcilly descnled. and further concert of action is wholly voluntary on their part, l'lun naslcally hound. Probably n two nations, jnd perhaps no two men, would have drafted the articles for a League oC Nations prec.ifaly alike, and any such document must in the mturt of thing".in' olve much compromise. There is tbund mt evidence af this in the covenant of 1 aris, not hast in the amendments made to meet objections raided in Ameiica, ;tter the draft agreed upon by the representatives of th- 14 countries had beer, presented to the peace conference. Those objection scem to have been fully covered by provisions whoso

mcuining cannot, leasonably b.-.

doubted by any one that believes bincerely in such a league. The princijbs on which the league is ImsccI are sound, and impose the least obligations conistint with the prevention of future wars. The question f a citizen of the United States ü not whelhtr the covenant reprcs.nts his vies precisely, but whether n the whole it is good or not, and whether trJs country had better accept it or not. Uouiiant Ifcisls f Tivsity. It has been argued that pace with (Hiiiiany ought to have b m made

In fact thu very existence of th be new stat.s would be in jeop.ird without tho moral support of such a Uague. iiiniot I5c Separated. The covenant i, therefore, an essential and integral ;art of the treaty of peac . r.oi artificially, out by the wry nature ot t-'.e case. Thc cannot .e separated. To tut the covenant out of the treaty is to amend it, and leave the whole p-ace to be negoliatcd over again between L'J independent nations. Mow long thla would take, it is impossible to forest e; certainly several months, perhnp ler.j;er. Duiing that time der many would intrigue to bring about disagreements, and meanwhile we should still be in a state of war. 0 that cur troops cannot come, home, and wt cannot return to the natural course of our peaceful industries and
