In replj to our letter of the 1 0th

found in the covenant of the league

your attention to the following ques
tions and answers given by lilin to the
press t that time which 1 think solls-
factbrlly answer your Inquiries. The
questions and answers uro as follows:
QUESTIONS v Mi s v ERS,
"Q, I'nder lhe covenant iloes the
rrtatlbn obligate Itself to assist any
memo r of tho league In putting down
a rebellion of lis subjects or conquered
peoples?"
"A- It does not."
"Q. I'nder the covenant can this
nation Independently recognise a gov-
eminent i. no e peoples seek to achieve
or have hieved their Independence
I from a in. utuer of the league'.'"
a. The Independent action of the
government of the United Stales In a
natter of this kind Is In no waj lim
ited or affected by the covenant of tho
league of nations."
"Q. I'nder the covenant are those
subject nations or peoples only that
are mentioned in iho peace tseaty en
titled to the right oi self-determination
or does the league possess tho right
ao accord a similar privilege to other
subject nations or peoples'.'"

"A. It was not possible for the
peace conference to ucl with regard to
In si 1 t'-iei -rml na t Ion of anv territo

lo the defeated empires, but In the
covenant of the league of nations It
has set up for the first time In Article
Eleven a forum to which all claims
of self-determination which are iikei
to disturb the peace of lhe world or
tho good understanding between na
tions upon which the peace of tho
world depends can bL. brought.
ej Why was the case of Ireland
not heard at the peace conference?
nd what Is your opinion on the sub
ject of self-determination of Ireland?"
"A The case of Ireland was not
heard al the peace conference because
the peacs conference had no Jurisdic

whl, h did not affect territories w hich
belonged to the defeated empires. My
position on tho subject of self-determl-natlon
Ol Ireland is expressed In Arti
