C.0.P.LEADERS
Still Silent on Revised
Covenant
Senator Lodge Receives Several Re-
plies to Appeal to Refrain from
Comment for Present-No Date
Fixed for Republican Conference

Washington, April 80. = Replies
We're received today from several Re-
publican senators to whom Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts,. Republican
leader, and Senator Curtis of Kan
sas, whip, yesterday sent kilograms
asking them to refrain from discuss
ing the revised League of Nations
covenant until a Republican confer
ence could be held to determine upon
the Republican attitude toward the
document We're received today. SEN
atOr Curtis said that about five SEN
ators now absent from Washington
had replied approving the SuSSes-
tons. The names of those from whom
answers were received were not made
public.
No date for the conference. Sena-
tor Curtis said, has been selected.

There were certain fundamentals.
the Oregon senator said. (which
thought ought to be left out. and
others which l thought ought to be
included-and which which not so
included. AS the constitution of the
League now stands these fundamen-
tails have been excluded or included
to meet the objections which | had,
and it seems to me that it would
be unfortunate for the world that
the League should be held up or de-
feated by the Senate except on ac-
count of an overwhelming emergency.
1T seems to me that if the League
Of Nations and the Peace Treaty is
signed and agreed to. it is better for
world peace that America does not
assume the responsibility of delaying
it for any slight reason"
