to The Nugget by The Associated-Press.
WASHINGTON. July 29—Former Supreme Court Justice Chns. K.
Hughes is the latest to interject Ills personal opinions into the congressional
controversy regarding the peace treaty and the League of Nations.
In a letter addressed to Senator Hale, of Maine, Hughes suggests that
congress make a number of reservations with respect to the League covenant
and also ventures the view that two thirds of the senate body will refuse to
ratify the peace treaty with tne covenant in its present form. •
Included among the suggestions made by Hughes is one that tin
signatory nations be allowed to withdraw from the League on two years notice.
The suggestion is also offered that immigration questions In- entirely
iamoved from the sphere of League influences, all decisions regarding im
migration matters to be settled by domestic jurisdiction. Judge Hughes also
holds the view that congress should stipulate that under the terms of article
ten of the League covenant. America shall assume no international obligation
to send her military forces overseas unless with the consent of congress. He
also suggests that congress should stipulate that all of the functions of Hie
Monroe Doctrine should be held inviolate by the signatory nations.
