It was pointed out Immediately that
under this decision the American SEN
ate will not be informed in regard 70
tho position that is being taken here
upon such matters as the league OF
nations, the Monroe Doctrine and tho
freedom Of the seas. Theoretically at
least it must wait for the submission
OF the treaty as representing the
agreement reached.
The publicity method adopted does
not provide any way by which Amer
ica can watch the course Of her own
delegates; in fact, the plan adopted
seems to bear out the prediction Of
Senator Lodge that the treaty would
be laid before the Senate as q fat &c
compE and the Senate will be expected
to approve 1t.
President Wilson undoubtedly has
been compelled to revise his earlier
plans as a result of the last meetings
Plainly he expected to be able to an
nounce the American plan for league
Of nations openly for discussion in
America in order to facilitate the ap-
proval OF tho treaty by the Senate.
Since going into the conferences and
ascertaining the ways Of the foreign
diplomats. with which he was entirely
unacquainted when he landed here. his
ideas in regard to procedure appar-
emily have undergone a radical change.
Members of the commission admit this
and in the opinion Of some OF them II
certainly will increase the difficulties
which President Wilson must encoun-
ter at home. This adds to the surprise
that he did not make a more vigorous
