Example Of the Trainers of

HE SAYS THE TREATY
SHOULD BE AMENDED
Would Avert From America the
Reproach Of Depriving World
of Bright Hope

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Forraer Az
torney General WickershaE. IN a
statement issued through the lasue 10
enforce peace today, called upon the
Senate to ratify the peace treaty WIN
the league of nations covenant anu
then prepare to perfect the document
by amendment through the assemoiE
and council Of the league, in the same
manner as he pointed out. the trainers
of the constitution provided fcr us
amendment by the states
Critics of the constitution, Mr.. WICK
ersham declared in his statement, op-
posed it because it did not contain
a bill of rights protecting the ilper-
ties of the states and the people ana
the concurrence Of some states@not-
ably New York and MASSACHUSETTS,
was secured only by promise that
steps would be taken for early amend
nents to remove the objections most
strongly urged. The first congress. the
former Attorney General recalled, re-
deemed these promises by submitting
the first ten amendments, which nave
been characterized as a bill OF rights
"The delegates to the peace confer
ence in Paris, declared Mr. Wicker
sham, followed the examples of the
trainers Of the constitution Of the
United States by Incorporating into
the covenant of the league of nations
provision for its amendment ny
vote Of the members Of the league
whose representatives composed tbs
~
a majority Of the members whose
representatives compose the assembly
Let the senate ratify the treaty and
thus avert from America the reproach
Of depriving the world Of the great
hope, the radiant promise of world
allied for the preservation of peace
Then let those measures for improve
ment of the instrument. for the bet
ter safeguarding Of the national ira
ditions and institutions Of America
formulated by the senate, or by both
to the American representative in
the assembly and in the council Of the
league Of nations with instructions to
present and press them for adoption
as amendments to the covenant.
"Has not the time come for action
inspired by the wisdom and the ex-
ample of the trainers and those who
promoted the constitution Of the Unit
ed States?"
The covenant, Mr. WTickersham de-
clared, very carefully avoided any
undue encroachments upon the sover-
eighty Of any Of the states which may
become members Of the league, and
added that its trainers obviously rec
organized it as great experiment
Opposition to ths covenant, except
from those who reject it entirely, the
former attorney general declared, had
been reduced to a half dozen points
which could be handled in the way
suggested and he expressed the opin-
ion that the prestige ard power of
America are SO great that it scarcely
can be doubted that any amendments
thus recommended would fail of adop-
ton save for the demonstrably con-
vincing reasons.
