HUN DELEGATES
SUMMONED TO
= 6 ACE T 4 BL E

vent ratification of the plan in the
form originally submitted.
The revised provisions patiently are
intended to remove the objtions voiced
generally by the thilty-nlne Repub-
licar senators WHO signed the Lodge
round robin and by other Republican
and Democratic senatOrs-an aggre-
cation sufficiently numerous to de-
feat ratification Of any treaty by the
requisite tWo-thirds ma iority of the
Senate.
If the text Of the revised articles
conforms to the brief official sum
mary of the amendments caDled from
Paris, it is expected that opposition
represented by the round robin sign
ers and their sympathizers will dwin-
die to the point that will assure con-
siderably more than a two-thlrds ma
iority for the covenant.
The principal objections raised and
the amendments adopted to remove
them are:
Notification of Monroe Doctrine
Proviso inserted declaring that the
covenant ''does not affect the valid
ity" of the Monroe doctrine.
Abrogation of. reignty-Amend-
ment provides that armament can be
reduced only with consent of indi-
vidual states and that the contribu-
tion of armed forces to the league is
optional.
Interference in domestic affairs
Amendment provides that administra-
ton of territorial wars shall be COM
mitted to states willing to be man
datories."
Withdrawal unprovided for-Provis-
ion made for withdrawn of nation
from league.
