ELlHU ROOT IN FAVOR
OF LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Former Secretary of State Would
Amend in Few Instances to
Protect Interests Of U. s.

New York.-Elihu Root declared
himself Sunday an advocate of the
league of nations covenant made pub
lie by the peace conference provided
it is amended, primarily by writing
enforcement clauses into the articles
calling for arbitration and limitation
of ornaments, by restricting to five
years the unanimous guaranty of the
present political. and territorial status
Of. members, and by protecting from
non-American interference the affairs
of the American continents.
He made his approval contingent
also upon amendments assuring peri
odic revision of international law and
a general redrafting of the covenant
in an atmosphere removed by several
years from the issues attendant upon
the settlement of world war.
To dispel doubt as to the right of
withdrawal from the league, he IA
vored specific revision of this privi-
lege to any signatory, coincident with
or after the proposed redrafting con-
ference.
If these changes could be made,
the former secretary of state as
serted, it would be "the clear duty" Of
the United States to enter into the
league agreement, in keeping with
what he termed apparent general de-
sire of the American public that the
country do its full share toward the
establishment of an effective interna-
tional organization to preserve the
peace of the world"

recently resigned as provisional pres

There are but two classes in Hun

Count Karolyi's position has not
