Washington, August 12.—With the original American draft of the league of nations covenant before it, the foreign relations committee had prepared a long list of questions to ask today when David Hunter Miller, adviser to the league of nations commission at Versailles, appeared in the committee hearing on the peace treaty.
Questioned by Senator Brandegee, republican, Connecticut, Mr. Miller said he was a law partner of Gordon Auchincloss, son-in-law of Col. E. M. House, one of the American delegates to the peace conference.
Mr. Miller said he never had heard of any plan for a league drafted by New York lawyers and taken to Paris by the president.
Senator Brandegee asked "of what date the territorial integrity" mentioned under Article 10 of the covenant "was to be guaranteed."
"I understand the boundaries and territorial integrity of nations are to be regarded primarily as they existed at the signing of the treaty and secondarily as they may be determined under the treaty of plebiscite, for instance," replied Mr. Miller.
