There are no powers conferred on the league of nations except those that are required under the terms of the document itself. It relates only to international questions and international disputes. and not to domestic questions. It has not any more to do with the Immigration question than it has with the question of marriage and divorce in the United States. There Is not any doubt about that. it Is thoroughly agreed among all of those who have discussed this matter in Paris that such is the fact. I know that Japan endeavored in the council at Paris to secure a declaration of equality of races and against any discrimination against races. but Japan failed.
