Reservations Split Over Ratification Of League Covenant
Washington Aug 20 The first move toward a compromise on the league covenant comes from administration quarters proposing interpretive reservations kept separate from ratification. Republican leaders insist reservations must be part of ratification. Sen Pittman presents a compromise tying seven reservations to the treaty, but McNary group insists they be included in ratification. The plan seeks Senate approval and submission to Allied powers, amid objections over Wilsonian moral versus legal obligations.
