However. I was not discussing the question of rates. I was discussing the question of economic conferences. and I want to read a statement that is fundamental on the question of such conferences: The United States understands that under the league covenant no question can be raised either in the assembly or in the council of the league which will give either party the right to report or to make any recommendation or to take any action upon the policy of the United States or any other member nation with regard to domestic or political questions relating to its internal affairs. including immigration. coastwise traffic. tariff. commercc. and all other purely domestic questions. That is an announcement of a fundamental of American policy in determining how far we may go in our conferences with foreign countries. That is a sound doctrine.
