LEAGUE COVENANT
AMENDED PRESERVE
MONROE DOCTRINE
Nations Hold Control Over Internal
Aifairs-Disarmament Power Of
Council Is Limited.

Paris, March 26-An American
amendment to protect nations against
the influx of foreign labor was adopt
ed yesterday by the League of Nations
Commission. It affirms the right OF
any country in the league to control
matters solely within domestic juris-
diction.
Another important amendment tc
the league covenant affects Article
VII, which empowers the Executive
Council to formulate a plan for the
reduction of ornaments.
Language Of the article Is altered
so as to limit the powers of the coun-
Gil to a simple recommendation to the
Governments affected.
President Wilson would have offer
ed the amendment at the meeting Of
the League of Nations Commission
last night, but discovered slight i'm
perfection in the text and reserved the
right to submit it later.
AS framed the amendment will be
an appendix to the article pledgins

Mention of the Monroe doctrine by
name is avoided purposely.
Inasmuch as President Wilson anc
Coolnel House on several occasions
have discussed the subject with Pre-
miers Lloyd George, Clemenceau ant
Orlando, 1t Is assumed that the Pres
ident assured himself of favorable ac'
ton in advance Of the submission o.
the amendment to the commission.
Other changes in the covenant made
at last nights meeting and which are
regarded by the American delegates
of great importance, were calculated
to meet suggestions and objections
emanating from America. They in
