Development of International Law
As h condition of its participation in the work and counsels of the
League, the United States asks that the Assembly and Council con-
sept—or obtain authority—to begin collaboration for the revision
and development of international law, ernployiugjfar-thia purpose
the aid of a commission of jurists. This Commission would be di-
rected to formulate anew existing rules of the law of nations, to
reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto inadequately
provided for but vital to the maintenance of international justice,
and in general to define the social rights and duties of States. The
recommendations of the Comnjission would be presented from time
to time, in proper form for consideration, to the Assembly as tq a
recommending if not a law-making body.

Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine
The United States accents the League of Nations as an instrument
of mutual counsel, but it will assume no obligation to interfere with
political questions of policy or internal administration of any for-
eign state.
In uniting its efforts with those of other States for the preser-
vation of peace and the promotion of the common welfare, the - —
Vpitsjd Stateis insists upon the safeguarding of tho Monrow Dee-----tie direct, ar, if they prefer, tn
trine and does not abandon its traditional attitude concerning Amer- *“ “---'J ‘ 1----
lean Independence of the Old World and does not consent to submit
its long established policy concerning questions regarded by it as
purely American to the recommendation or decision of other Powers.
No Military or Economic Force
The only kind of compulsion which nations can freely engage to
apply to each other in the name of Peace is that which arises from
conference, from moral judgment, from full publicity and from the
power of public opinion.
The United States will assume no obligations under Article XJ
in its present form, or under Article XVI in its present form in the
Covenant, or in its amended form as now proposed, unless in any
particular case Congress has authorized such action.
The United States proposes that Articles X and XVI be either!
dropped altogether or so amended and changed as to eliminate any j
suggestion of a general agreement to use coercion for obtaining con-
formity to the pledgse of the Covenant.
No Obligations Under Versailles Treaty
The United States will accept no responsibilities under the Treaty
of Versailles unless in any particular case Congress has authorized
such action.
