and gave them publicity. In so far
as the letter from the former secre-
tary Of state may become the final
Republican position instead of the
divergent expressions of the 80
slgners of the Republican round

Can the covenant be amended to
meet all the points made by these
leading Republicans, and will they

Some inside History

Eestion Of compulsory arbitration is
concerned, some inside history Of
what took place in February, 1919,
at Paris and what occurred in the
senate of the United States in Feb

may throw some light on the diff

known, the American peace delega-
ton at Paris had in it's draft for a
League of Nations exactly such a
provision as Mr.. Root now proposes
It stayed in that draft for a long
time--or rather until all drafts and
plans were put on the table for dis
cussion. Colonel House and Presi-
dent Wilson both favored compul-
sorry arbitration very strongly. Dele
cations from other countries were
not ready to go that far. They ar
gued that eventually such a step
might be taken but the world wasn't
ready to bind itself to submit all

tonal honor and vital interest to
