He contends France and smaller nations would seek further conferences if Root’s suggestions were followed, and that America’s refusal to accept Artele X would weaken the covenant.

Reservations and Amendments in Treaties Analysis
Taft highlights two questions from Mr Root on reservations in ratification and delaying effect. Reservations may become part of treaties if accepted by the other party, and precedents are limited. France and smaller nations would oppose removing Article X, as the league relies on U.S. backing for collective security. Domestic objections to foreign born citizens and hyphenated Americanism are weighed against world peace duties.
