LEAGUE COVENANT
STATUSD|STURBS
Senators Question Reasons
Given for Failure to Safe
guard Monroe Doctrine.
SEE NO ADEQUATE REASON

Senators who have had the te-
merity to ana1yze the covenant Of the
league of nations are profoundly de-
pressed over reiteration in today's
cable dispatches Of doubt as to amend
ing the covenant so as to protect the
Monroe doctrine. The depression Is
shared by those who are in favor Of
the general idea of league of ma
tions and had ventured to hope that
a satisfactory document could be
drawn up.
If no change is made in the cove
nant specifically safeguarding the
Monroe doctrine many senator's fear
there will be a contest over ratifying
treaty committing the United States
to a league of nations. Much as they
would like to see the great ideal
that two-thirds of the Senate will,
without great public pressure. agree
to abandon this policy which is a
guiding star of Americas dealings
with foreign nations. while embark
ing upon an uncharted sea of new al
liances and foreign entanglements.
Not an Adequate Excuse.
These senators say it will be no
the Monroe doctrine to say that 1t had
to be jettisoned in order to prevent
Japan insisting upon her claim for
equality, which would throw open to
foreign adjudication our domestic
questions of immigration, land own
They declare it is preposterous to
suggest such a trade: that it would be

is also ours. the right to regulate our
domestic affairs?" they ask.
Outspoken criticism Of the trend Of
affairs will be withheld by senators

upon facts at hand before the ink is

rapidly than the cable can report them
to this side. it has been shown.
So 1t is desirable to speak only in a
general way Of the incidents as they
occur on the other side, and it Is ut
terly out of the question, senators say.
to endeavor to gatEer the sentiment Of
the country on the whirling-dervish
motions Of the peace conference Only
one thing most of the senator's are
now convinced of-that the mass of
the people earnestly want a league of
nations il it holds out any prospect of
preventing war.
Senators proceed upon the assump-
tion that the public is as attached to
the Monroe doctrine as they are. but
they have no means of telling wheth-
er that be the fact or not. Only the
publication of the exact terms Of the
covenant in its bearing upon this
subject will develop the actual atti-
tude of the country. they say.

Will Apply Two Main Tests.

Two main tests will be applied to
the covenant of the league when it is
presented for ratification by the SEN
ate, it is explained. First. does 1T, in
it's amended form, protect the Mon
roe doctrine? Second, does it. in fact,
prevent war or, as claimed by some
senators, sanction and even require
war under specified conditions?
Senators who severely arraigned the
covenant upon these two major points
foresee difficulty for themselves in
attacking the revised form Of the
covenant unless the faults upon
which their contentious were based
are SO obvious as to be visible to the
lay mind. They may stand out to
them as sharply as the Washington
Monument against a gray sky, and
yet not easily appreciable to the man
in the street in the face of the argu-
ments of the proponents of the
league.
These senator's foresee. they say. q
campaign in support Of the league
based upon the broad assurance that
the Monroe dictrine is not assailed
and that a concert of the great pow
ers has been arrived at to prevent
wars. Other details will be fmma-
terial to the public. the senators say.
and the whole fight will center around
these two propositions. Then will
come the tug Of war, whether popular
sentiment can pull the senators from
their position of opposition to the
league.

Bolshevism Gaining.

Last Of all, no one attempted to dis
guise the fact that the utter paralysis

We invited the bolshevists to go to
Prinkipo two months ago; now they
come to Budapest We are about to
evacuate Odessa, we are told that
Rumania is on the point of collapse
and Poland almost certainly doomed.
We know that both could have been
saved four months ago.
It seems to me that without sharing
the panic now existing in Paris, the
American people ought to understand
that there is now at least a possibility
that within the next three months
bolshevism will overrun all Europe
save perhaps that part patrolled by
our own soldiers; that Germany Is az

it has exhausted the powers Of resist

to resume her attack. having escaped
the consequence of her military de-
feat; that despair in the allied ma
tions over the failure of the peace
conference to make peace and thus
given at least a measure of recon-
pense to millions of men and women
for the supreme agony of this war
may lead these people in the presence
of q new war to an act of greater
folly.
In sum, It seems-to me that tho time
has come when It should be recoe-
nized in America that ''the conference

Query as to Acquitta1.
MAJ. copp was asked If soldier
could be acquitted by court, aid
released from custody, the reviewing
authorities order a re-trial, and the
accused be then convicted and re-
incarcerated.
This can happen" was the reply,
"but is extremely rare"
Mai. Copp stated that as far as his
experience went counsel assigned to

scfentious and so interested in their

This Is that he thinks the accused is
confined too 4eng before being brought
to trial. The same thing obtains in
civil cases, he pointed out, but the
civil prisoner has safeguards not pos

delay is inexcusable, he said, an officer
