Q. x the Covenant.

Paris, April 29.-The revised COW
enant of the league Of nations was
adopted by the plenary session of the
peace conference without division and
without amendment The covenant
had been moved by President Wilson.
The president said it was not neces-
sary to emphasize the significance of
the great covenant and the hopes en-
tertained that conference of the free
nations of the world would maintain
Justice in their international relations
and peace between the nations.
Japs Cult Fight.
The Japanese and French amend
ments were dithdrawn and it is under
stood they have been left for decision
by the league of nations itself.
The text of the labor principles for
insertion in the treaty was adopted,
and the conference adjourned without
considering responsibilities.
President Wilson, in his speech ex-
planning the revised covenant of the
league of nations, said that Sir Erie
DrummOnd of Great Britain had been
named as the first secretary general
of the league.
Sir Erie Drummond has been private
secretary to A. J. Balf0ur, the British
foreign secretary, since December. 1916.
Previously he had served Sir Erward
(now Viscount) Grey in the same ca
pacity, while Sir Edward was foreign
secretary. From March, 1912, to June,
1915, he was private secretary to Her
bert III. Asquith, then the British
premier.
Regarding the composition of the ex-
ecutive council, the president said that
Belgium, Brazil, Greece and Spain
would be represented on the council
I'm addition to the five great powers
until a permanent choice had been
made.
Presentation of the amended league
of nations covenant by President Wiz
son marked the opening the session.
The president then explained the vari-
Gus alterations.
The president moved that the pow
ers name representatives to form
committee of nine to prepare plans TO
organize the league and establish the
seat of the league.
Maxine Asks Equality.
Baron Maxine Of the Japanese dele
cation spoke after President Wilson
and said he regretted that the presi-
dents speech had not been translated.
He then moved the JaDaneSe amend
ment on racial equality.
He said It was race question, with
the possibility of becoming acute. The
equality of nations, he asserted, should
be fundamental principle of the
league.
The Japanese statesman added that
he felt it his duty to state the poignant
regret Of the Japanese delegation over
the failure of the league of nations
committee to do justice to the Jap
anese demand which was based on a
deep-rooted national conviction.
Japan, he added, was obliged to re-
vert to her original position on this
question.
Leon Bourgeois, former premier,
spoke for France He said that the
French amendments to the league, in
Guiding q demand for a national army
and police force and the limitation and
verification of ornaments of all ma
tons, had not been adopted.
France, however, would sign the pact,
M. Bourgeois said.
