Japan. perhaps. was not anxious. to submit purely domestic questions to the arbitrament of France and England. but if there is no power to decide and take action. what is the objection to talking about them in tile conference? What objection is there to availing ourselves of the friendly offices of France and Great Britain in an effort to adjust these difficulties? The real reason why those reservations were iiade is that if immigration. land ownership. and kindred questions were submitted to such a conference as this treaty contemplates that conference would have the power to adjust them. and if no agreement resulted France. England. and Japan would be bound under the Versailles treaty. to wlich they are all parties. to take the controversy to the League of Nations council. Any nation refusing to abide the decision of tile league would incur the antagonism of all members of the league and be subjected to the economic boycott and. perhaps. to war.
