Text of Administration Reservations Offered by Senator Hitchcock By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Nov. 14. OLLOWING is the text of | ar reservations to the peace treaty—the minimum concession of the administration forces—introduced yesterday in the Senate by Democratic Lead- er Hitchcock, with a view to obtaining a vote on them in the closing stages of the fight in the Senate: That any member nation pro- posing to withdraw from the league on two years’ notice is the sole judge as to whether its obligations referred to tn article 1 of the league of nations have been performed as requiréd in said article. That no member nation fs re- quired to submit to the league, its council, or its assembly, for decision, report or recommenda- tion, any matter whieh it con- siders to be in inte¥ynational law a domestic question, such as immigration, labor, tariff or other matter relating to its in- ternal or coastwise affairs. That the national policy of the United States known as the Monroe Doctrine, as announced and interpreted by the United States, is not in any way im- paired or affected by the cove- nant of the league of nations and {s not subject to any de- cision, report or inquiry by the council or assembly. That the advice mentioned in article 10 of the covenant of the league which the council may give to the member nations as to the employment of their naval and military forces is merely advice which each mem- ber nation is free to accept or reject according to the con- science and judgment of its then existing Government, and in the United States this advice can only be accepted by action of the Congress at the time in being, Congress alone under the Constitution of the United States having the power to de- clare war. : That in case of a dispute be- tween members of the league if one of them has self-governing colonies, dominions or parts which have representation in the assemly, each and all are to be considered parties to the dispute, and the same shall be the rule if one of the parties to the dispute is a self-governing colony, dominion or part, in which case all other lf-gov- erning colonies, dominions or parts, as well as the nation as a whole, shall be eonsidered parties to the dispute, and each and all shall be disqualified from having their votes counted in case of any inquiry on said dispute made by the assembly.
