Congress alone can declare war. The existence or nonexistence of article 10 has no effect whatever on the power of Congress. Fourth. that under the league. as freely as without it. our immigration laws. tariff impositions. voting qualifications. and all other purely domestic questions are unaffected. These facts being manifest. in good faith I ask you opponents of the league of nations. why not quit trying to scare tile people with these specters and hobgoblins scurrying among tile ruins of our once glorious Constitution and meet the question fairly .on the ground of policy? Is it better for the United States and ifor the peace of the world that we ratify this treaty just as it is?
