PLAN ON CHANGES
League Commission Meets To-
day To Consider Amendments.
e. s. Senate May Hold Up the
Peace Negotiations.

Paris, March 22.-The league of ma
tions commission, President Wilson
presiding, met today to consider
amendments to the covenant, proposed
by neutrals during the last two days.
While the constitution was thus be-
ing re-shaped the United Press Was
informed authoritatively that the
American senate will have to accept or
reject the entire preliminary peace
treaty, including the league covenant.
Separation of the covenant and the
treaty as cables from the United States
indicate the Republican senators are
planning to do, would be impossible
under the program now being followed
for drawing up the pact.
Whether the covenant is in the body
of the treaty or is attached as an ap-
pendiX, it will be an integral part of
the pact, it was learned from authori-
tative sources with possible interweav-
ing of references to the covenant in
articles fixing the terms of peace.
Consequently, it was pointed out, the
senate apparently must ratify the
treaty without amendments to the
covenant, or will have to refer the en-
tire document back to President Will
son and the state department. If such
situation develops it naturally will
mean a delay in the exchange of rati-
fication among the various allied gov
ernments and postpone establishment
of peace negotiations.
