AMERICA RECEIVESTEXTO
LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT
SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE PARIS
Changes Made Are to Meet
Criticisms of the United
States; Official Summary
Of Covenant Published
Two Weeks Ago Gave
Comprehensive Outline.

E. ~ q
Washington, April 2s.-Publication
by the state department Of the re-
vised covenant of the league of ma
tions gave the text Of the document
to the American people several hours
in advance, Of its presentation to the
peace conference in plenary session
at Paris. Z
The substance Of the covenant, in
cluding material changes designed
particularly to meet criticisms in the
United States. had been disclosed two
weeks ago through an official sum-
mary but many members of the SEN
ate. officials and Other students Of
the nation's foreign relations had
withheld final Judgment pending
, careful analysis of the complete text.
Apparently these observers, found
that, the ot11oiaa summary had given a
fairly comprehensive outline of the
document. especially Of the amend
ments. The new article specifically
& %exempting International engagements
and regional understandings "such as
the Monroe doctrine" had been
quoted verbatim. The summary also
had outlined amendments eXemptinE
national domestic questions from the
jurisdiction of the league providing
for withdrawal of member nations
upon two years notice, leaving it to
member states to decide what armed
force, if any, they will contribute to
any force which the league may de-
termine is necessary to enforce its
findings providing that mandatories
shall be given only to states willing
to accept them. and stating definitely
that armament reduction programs
become effective only when approved
by the states concerned.
Most of the" congressional leaders
were out of the city today, including
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,. who
will be the next chairman Of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee, and
Senator Hitchcock Of Nebraska, re-
firing chairman.
Withhold Comment.
senaforsi here, including Senator
withheld comment today saying they
were studying the covenant text
Senator, Moses of New, Hampshire,
republican, said in his opinion. some
amendments to the United States
constitution would. be required to
make the covenant effective, although
he thought there had been some i'm
provement in phraseology., He added
he still believed the league would
thrust sus into any mess that may
occur in any part of the world, land
furnish another element in. the delay
in bringing about peace. He, said in
his opinion the unanimous agreement
provision is ..'very vague.'"'s
Senator Walsh Of. Montana, demo-
crat said he was gratified that the
covenant reserved the Monroe doc
trine from the authority of the league
and said this would have a tendency
to disarm many of the critics of the
league. H.--''l
"For myself he said, II never had
any serious apprehension that we
would have suffered. anything in, that
respect under the original covenant.
I feel the same. way regarding the
by the league. felt that that princi-
pie necessarily was implied in the
original draft" =,
