CHANGES? is ASKED
Suggestion Made That President
Might So Act to Get Treaty
Adopted,
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

Two important features IN the situa-
ton concerning the league OF nati5ns
plan arc discernible to senators re
naming in Washington They are:
First-That the President is intent
upon making the league component
of the general treaty Of peace, so i'll
terwoven in the web and woof of that
document that it cannot be detached
from it.
Second-That there is entire wiling
ness on the part of many supporters OF
the league in this country to amend
the present draft of the constitution
of the league to meet objections urged
against it, although there is no assur-
ance that President Wilson is willing
TO abate his insistenee upon adherence
70 the original draft.
Impression President Left.
President Wilson left a distinct I'M
preston in several quarters that he
believes the league of nations plan
must be incorporated in the treaty
which will declare peace; indeed. that
it viii form an essential, inherent
part of il. without which peace plans
might be Intellectual eventually This
view is not shared by the republican
senator's who signed the statement
drawn up by Senator Lodge in the
midnight hours Of the closing ses-
sion of Congress. They eontendea
that the negotiations on the part CT
the United States should Immediately
be directed to the utmost expedition
of the urgent business OF arranging a
peace with the central powers. and
that the proposal of q league of MT
tions to insure the permanent peace
of tfAs&orld should xbe then takeH sap
for careful and SERIOUS consideration.
Senator's say that President Wilson
no doubt is quite well aware of the
factful and strategiea} value TO his
league of nations plan OF its bsing g ffi-
corporatsti in the general treaty Of
peace The composite proposition as
Immediate peace and future pranqul-
lity would then come before the Ser-
ate and senators would be Confronted
with the alternative of rejecting that
which the world now nsost desires
peace at the earliest inainent possi-
bIe. if they rejected the project de-
signed for the future.

President Might Act.

Which brings the subject back to
the question of how the amendments IS
so insistently demanded by large
clement in this country are to get be-
fore the conference. II might be an
sHered that the President may feel
inclined TO offer the amendments in
order to assure the ratificati tion of the
treaty, having been warned by the
tfirty-nine senators whose votes are
necessary to ratification of what is
coming to his draft in the present
form.
Senators doubt, however. that the
President will feel so urged, having
in mind his declaration upon depart
ure of his confidence that the great
mass of the American people are sup
porting him without questioning. He has
declared that the constitution OF the
league is perfect: he has secuted the
claims of its critics that it creates the
menace to American liberty which
they charge; he has brushed aside
every objection raised to 1t as being
unfounded in fact and the creation of
narrow minds which lack vision
So. they say, why amend it2
Moreover. there is the intention of
the President TO appeal to the people
over the heads of the opposing SEN
ators and to bring pressure from the
country to bear uIon the Senate in
behalf of ratification.
