President. admitting for the purpose of the discussion that that would include questions of jurisdiction. which is by no means clear. what does it mean? It means that if a controversy were submitted to the council of the league which the United States insisted involved a domestic quesfion and not ain international question. and every one of the seven powers represented upon the council. exclusive of the United States and the other party to the controversy. said we were wrong about it. that it was. in fact. an international and not a domestic question. what then? Then the United States agrees. assuming. of course. that the clause referred to includes question of jurisdiction. that it will not go to war with the other country. that is all. � W. are not going to go to war with any country of which I can think on account of any tariff question. and I scarcely think we would care to wage war with any country on the question of the traffic in women and children. but. of course. there is a possibility thatt we might become involved in war with some country on such a question as immigration. However. so far as human intelligence can forecast the future. there is not a chance of our getting into war with any country except Japan on that question. and we are never going to go to war with Japan on account of any question of immigration. We are perfectly satisfied with the situation as it stands. We are entitled. if we care to do so. to exclude Japanese from this country.
