There are those who maintain that article 10 does not militate against the warmaking power of Congress. but as this is a matter over which there is much doubt and controversy. the safer course is to remove all doubt and controversy by express declarations or reservations. The last provision of article 1 should in some form be eliminated or neutralized. the right of withdrawal from the league should be unconditional. The cofitention that article 12 might compel us to submit to arbitration such domestic questions as immigration or other vital subjects is. I think. to a great extent obviated or neutralized by the second paragraph of article 13 and the eighth paragraph of article 15. But. in any event. if there is any serious doubt on this subject. it can be covered by suitable reservation. and so can the matter of the Monroe doctrine. if there is any doubt about that.
