LEAGUE OF NATIONS
SIX RESERVATIONS. ADVANCED BY EX-PRESIDENT' I TAFT. ' | By Teletrrnph.—Press A3sn Copyright. Received July 30, 12.35 a.m. Washington, July 24. Ex-President Taft, who formerly advocated the unreserved ratification of the League of Nations Covenant, now suggests six reservations. On two years' notice the United States could cease to be a member of ,the League without the League passing judgment on whether the United States had fulfilled the covenant obligations. The self-governing colonies and dominions should not be represented on the League Council simultaneously with the Mother Government. The Council's functioning* under article 10 should be advisory only, each member being free to determine on the question of declaringwar in its own way. The immigration tariff and domestic questions should not be left to the League for settlement. The Monroe Doctrine should be reserved for administration by the United States. The United States should reserve the right ,to withdraw from the League unconditionally at the end of ten years, or, at least, terminate its obligations.— Aus. and N.2. Cable Assoc.
