I go further than that and say that no action will ever be taken against its upon an immigration question. because that is a part of the political integrity of this Nation to govern its own domestic affairs. and that is protected by the declarations of article 10 and can never be questioned. Now. Mr. President. I want to consider article 16. which has been so violently criticized on the ground that it forces us into a war whether Congress declares war or not. Let us see if that is its meaning. Article 16 reads: Should any of the high contracting parties break or disregard its covenants under article 12. it shall thereby Ipso facto be deemed to have committed an act of war against all the other members of the league.
