The covenant was already a treaty of mutual guarantee. He had the same objections to the American project- Italy.-however, was prepared to collabor contained guarantees.

Their previous attempts at concerted action in Chins are, to say the least, dis- couraging precedents, and it would better to leave the Chinese to fight it out than for foreigners with selfish ambitions to join.
