It does not except from arbitration nearly as many subjects as did the treaty which it replaces, the Franco-U. S. arbitration pact of 1908. Not to be arbitrated under the old treaty were matters involving "national honor," "vital interests," or "a third state"-that is to say the exceptions were so broad as practically to permit either state to refuse arbitration of any case which it did not want arbitrated.

Whether he attains any higher office or not he remains...
...explained that this multilateral pact does not interfore with the League covenant or other alliances, because it an aggressor nation breaks it, the peace is no longer valid, and it may he attacked. What it does do, is to make nations liable merely on the grounds of political honor, an unsecured liability chosen instead of the punitive assets of the League, which seems, to continue the metaphor, bad business...
