Is Not Obligated to Suppress Revolt in Ireland. SAN FRA TSCO, Bapt. 18.—MRepty- ing in a statement te a list of ques- League of Nations organisation, Pros- ident Wilson said: Great Britain could not outvote the United States in the League. Foreign governments could not under the covenant order Ameri- ean troops abroad. The League would have a Powerful influence toward res- toration of Shantung to China. The United States would not be obligated by Article 10 to id Great Britain in suppressing @ revolt in Ireland. That under Article 11, there weuld be oreated a new forum for questions of self determina- tion. Mr. Wilson's statement containing the questions and answers follows: 1—Will you state the underly- ing consideration which dictated an awarding of six votes to the British Empire in the Assembly, and is it true that Great Britain will outvote us in the League of Nations and thereby control the league's action? Answer—The consideration which led to assigning six votes to self-governing portions of the British Empire was that the: have in effect, in all but foreign Policies, become autonomous self- governing states, their policy in all but foreign affairs, being in- dependent of the control of the British Government and in many respects dissimilar from it. But ft is not true that the British Mmpire can outvote us in the League of ations and the fore control the action of the League, because in every matter except the admission of new members in the league, no ac- tion can be taken without tho concurrence of a unanimous vote of the representatives of the states which are members of the council, so that in all matters of action, the affirmative yote of the United States in necessary and equivalent to the united vote of the reprenentat € the several parts of the British Empire, ‘The united votes of the several parts of the British Empi nnot off. set or overcome the vote of the United states. 2—Is it true that under the Leaque of Nations foreian coun- tries can order the sending of American troops to foreian coun- tries? Answer—lIt is r The right of Congress to determine such mat- ters is no wise impaired. 3-What effect will the League n either forward- the final restora- ?
