days. If they are in earlier it will he better as they have a better chance
of being correctly classified and proof read.
This ruling is made absolutely necessary in order that the usual Herald

grown so fast that much more time is now taken in printing the paper.
The Week -End edition is so bulky that it is a necessity to get to press

that under article 11 there would be
created a new forum for questions
of self determination.
Mr. Wilson's statement containing
tne questions ana answers follows:
Qneatlon and Anawera.
(1) Will you state the underlying
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 the self
governing portions of the British em-
pire was that they have. In effect. n
all but foreign policies become au-
tonomous self-governing states
their policy. In all but foreign af-
fairs being Independent of the con-
trol of the British government and
in many respects ditsimilar from it
But it Is not true thst the British
empire can outvote us In the League
of Nations and. therefore 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 the con-
currence of a unanimous vote of the
representatives of the states which
are members of the council so that
In all matters of action the affirma-
tive vote of the United States is
necessary and equivalent to the
united vote of the representatives of
the several parts of the British em-
pire. The united votes of the sev
eral parts of the British empire can
not offset or overcome tne vote or
the United States.

League of Nations foreign coun-
tries can order the sending of

SAN FRANCISCO Calif.. Sept. 18.
President Wilson took occasion
in this the stronghold of senator
IJIram Johnson to seek to overcome
two main sources of opposition to the
peace treaty namely the argument an
Irish sympathizers who claim Great
Britain has six votes in the proposed
league of nations to America's one.
and the easily aroused antipathy to
anything Japanese which has been
kindled anew in California by the al
leged impropriety of the United States
in sanctioning the transfer of Ger
man rights in Shantung to Japan.
The president realized that Cali-
fornia wanted to know about Shan
tung and he gave the most detailed
explanation he has yet made on the
question of leased territory in China.
Mr. Wilson told how Germany

Questions by San Francisco
oreign liovernments Uan't
Order 17. S. Troops Abroad;
Shantung Restoration.
Answeri It Is not. The right
of congress to determine snch
matters Is In no wise Impaired.
(S) What effect will the League of
Nations have In either forwarding or
hindering the final restoration of
Shantung to China? What effect
win the League of Nations have in
preventing further spoliation of
China and the abrogation of all such
special privileges now enjoyed in
China by fp reign countries?
Is Safeguard for China.
- J - AiMnven The Ileague -or JWtfaSs
will have a very powerful effect In
forwarding the final restoration of
Shantung to China and no other in-
strumentality or action can be sub-
stituted which would bring that re-
sult about. The authority of thi
league will under article 10 be con-
stantly directed toward safeguarding
the territorial Integrity and political
independence of China promote the
restoration to China of the several
privileges now lonir enjoyed by for
eign countries and assure China of
the completion of the process by
which Shantung will presently be
returned to her In full sovereignty.
In the past there has been no tri-
bunal which could be resorted to for
anv of these purposes.
(4) Is there anything In the league
of nations covenant or the peace
treaty which directly or indirectly In
any manner imposes on tne unitea
states any obligations moral
otherwise of the slightest character
to support England In any way in
case oi revolt in iretanaz
No Pledjre to Support Bn eland.
Answer: There is not The only
guarantee contained In the covenant

to mtenere witn what tnev regaraeu
as the sacrea n grits ox sen aetermina
tion.
(5) What effect if any. will the
league of nations covenant have In
either hindering or furthering the
cause of Irish freedom?
Answer: It was not possible for
the peace conference to act with re-
regard to self determination of any
territories except those which had be
longed to the defeated empires but in
the covenant of the league of nations
it has set for the first tirre In article
11. a forum to which all claims ox
self determination which are likely
to disturb the peace of the world or

tions upon which the peace of the
world depends can be brought.
