Radical comment upon the revised
covenant is most critical. Says "The

reached is over the PROSTATE remnants of
the fourteen points. The Saar Valley, we
are told, is to go to France in perpetu-

congratulates France upon 1.-The vigor

for the Saar compensation was waged."
And "The Philadelphia Enquirer" re-
marks

doubt has been felt as to their exact
significance. The reported settlement
of the Saar Valley has met with warm
approval. Strong French sentiment out

lines of cleavage in this country.
The Republican papera rejoice that the
criticism of Republican Senators has re-
suited IN at least materially improving
the covenant; the Democratic papers in
general refuse to admit that amy great
change has been made and view the
amendments as concessions to hypcrcrit-
ical craftsmanship.
Upon the question of whether the
covenant is now in fit shape for ratif-
cation by the Senate there is consider
able disagreement. "The New York
Sun" holds that we have "the same old
league of nations with the Monroe Doc
trine and the withdrawal clauses insert
ed" and declares that it still has mo
legitimate part in peace treaty." The
New York Tribune criticises the Monroe
Doctrine clause as awkward and mac

is based on the supposed flop of
LLOYD George from his alliance with
the President to better understanding
with Clemenceau. The insistent ham
mering of the Northcliffe papers and the
round robin telegram of the $40 Mem

clearly to have shifted ground quickly

these changes cover the bulk of the

worthy failure to meet criticism with
respect to Article X. Liberal opinion
has holly criticised this section as max
ing lrrevocable the boundaries now fixed
and thus perpetuating injustices. Sena-
tor Root proposes that the guarantee of
territory under this clause should be
restricted to a period of five years.

agreed upon give France IS per cent,
Great Britain between 20 and 80 per
cent and the United States between
and 5 per cent. On its face, the decision
seems to approximate the blank check
plan and to give the Allies all that they
can possibly hope for or get-always
providing that efficient means for en-
forcing collection are added. AS yet no
such means have been suggested, and
the blank check is without sheriff to
collect it,
