Mr. President. in the early stages of the proceedings this morning. when we were voting upon reserva.. tions to this section. the Senator front Nebraska offered as a reservation pertaining to the question of domestic matters the following: That no member nation is required to submit to the league. its council. or its assembly for decision. report. or recommendation any matter which it considers to be In international law a domestic question. sul as immigration. labor. tariff. or other matter relating to its internal or coastwise affairs. As I construe this language. it means that it is not the purposeor the idea of the United States to submit to the consideration of the council 6f the league of nations questions that ire domestic in their nature. and it attempts to define and specify. Immigration. coastwise affairs. and others as domestic questions. I supported. with my associate Democrats. this reservation. because I was heartily in sympathy with the sentiment expressed by the reservation. I would have been glad if the reservation offered by our distinguished Democratic leader had been adopted.
