tsr MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED VIVA,

Washington, Aug, 11.-President
Wilson wrote Chairman Lodge Of the
senate foreign relations committee to-
day that it would not be possible 10
comply with the committees request
for the documents used by the Ameri-
can peace commissioners at Paris IN
negotiating the peace treaty.
The various data bearing upon or
used in connection with the treaty of
peace with Germany" said the presl-
dent, ARE so miscellaneous and enor-
nous in mass that it would be I'M
possible for me to supply them with
out bringing from Paris the whole file
of papers of the commission itself,
and would include many memoranda
which it was agreed on grounds of
public policy, it would be unwise to
make use of outside the conference
The president sent Chairman Lodge
the informal draft of the league of
nations covenant presented by the
American peace commissioners at
Paris and also the formal report of
the commission on the league of ma
lions.
In transmitting the American plan
for the league of nations. the presi-
dent said no stenographic reports

bates, on the league of nations. and
such memoranda as were taken it was
agreed should be confidential. The
reason for regarding as confidential
intimate exchanges of opinion with re-
gard to many delicate matters will,
of course, occur TO you and l beg to
say that | am fol owing the example
of other governments, in making this
explanation.
The original American draft of the
league of nations covenant sent to the
foreign relations committee today by
President Wilson today contains sew
eral provisions widely differing from
the league covenant as adopted at
Paris.
Asked Very little.
Many of the arbitration provisions
are virtually the same in the two
drafts. The American draft also con-
tanned the plan finally adopted for q
council and a larger assembly and
embodied a disarmament program
similar to that in the final covenant
1t also provided for economic boycott
of covenant breakers.
The much debated provisions of Ar
ticle X of the present covenant for
guaranteeing the territorial integrity
of the league members, is almost iden-
teal with clause in the American
draft The latter was as follows:
The contracting powers undertake
to respect and to protect as against
external aggression the political indie
pendence and territorial integrity of
all states members of the league
The American plan contained no
provisions for withdrawal from men,
bership and made no reference to the
Monroe doctrine. 1t also contained a
provision not finally accepted, under
which the league would inquire" into
the feasibility of abolishing compul-
sorry military service
There also was a provision in the
American plan, omitted from the final
draft which would declare It fun
damental covenant, that no power
should overstep International agree
ments for rights on the high seas"
