OPPOSES ARTICLE 10
Senator Cummins Considers Re-

loWan Declares That Two Of His
Three Main Objections Have
Been Removed.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 29.-Ac-
cording to United States Senator A. b.
Cummins, the senate will not ratify
the new covenant OF the League of
Nations unless Article 10 is modified.
The Iowa senator was one of the
signers OF the senatorial round robin,
opposing the original draft of the
league covenant.
Article 10 Is the section which re-
Quires the nations signing the cove

tegrity and existing political indepen-
dence Of all members of the league
Il have not had time to examine
the new covenant carefully" said Sem
ator Cummins, "but granting that the
press copy is correct, 1t is plain that
two objections l urged against the
original covenant have been removed
and third still remains.
"The covenant would be much
stronger with Article 10 removed.
People will not fight unless they be.
lieve they are justified In fighting. It
is unwise and futile to say in advance
that we will fight against external ag-
gression when the matter in dispute
Is unknown"
