AMENDING THE COVENANT.

From the reports which are coming from Paris it is indicated that the American delegates are not going to insist upon the adoption of the consti- tuition of the league of nations without changes. It is quite evident that even the president has recognized the fact that while the country may be favor able to action which would prevent as far as possible future wars, it is not committed 10 the league of nations un- der the draft presented to if but desir- Ous that il be changed in several vital particulars.
 IL is claimed that the president in view O. the stand taken by leading ad- Vocates of d league. was left practi- cally alone in holding to the idea that there should be no important changes attempted. He thus has given con- siderdtion at least to their recommen- dations. but at the same time it can hardly be believed that he has failed to give due thought to the changes urged by those who may he regarded by him as the opponents to his plan, He cannot fail to appreciate the fact that the ratification of the league de-
 
 stand which q considerable part of that body has taken and he likewise must know that it has been declared by Senator Lodge that he will support ihe league when it comes up for rati- tcation D the changes which he has pointed out as advisable are made. He cannot therefore refuse tp consider all the suggested amendments. whether they come from those who have been taking for the league or those who have been urging the stengthe9ing of lhe covenant and safeg,iarGt the interests of this country. It rests with him and his associates in Paris to de iorminc at this time whether every cf- fort is going 10 be made to meet inc opposition which it is known prevails in the country and the senate.
