William II. Taft and DR.. Henry Van
Dyke were the speakers at the forty
seventh meeting of the dinner of the
Economic club at the Hotel Astor last
night. DR.. A. Lawrence Lowell, presl-
dent of Harvard university, was on the
program, but sent word that he was
unable to come. Henry Morgenthau,
president of the club, presided. Many
women were in the boxes to listen to
the speakers.
Mr.. Morganthau asked the members
if they desired to have an extra din
ner to hear the opposition to the
league of nations, and the response
was unanimous that the dinner should
be held and at an early date.
When Mr.. Morgenthau said that
Mr.. Taft had proved the greatest
champion of the people of America
there was generous applause.
I'VE are in the midst of one of the
greatest crises of our history" said
Mr.. Morgenthau, land Mr.. Taft in the
crisis has shown the example of non
partisanship. The people appreciate
it, too, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. great struggle is going on in
erning classes and the people. l be-
ieve the American people are learn
ing rapidly that this is a parti-
san question 1t is time for the United
States TO take off its coat and help
the struggling democracies of the
world. Unless the spirit of the United
States is back Of the league of ma
tons it will not succeed even if it Is

Limit of Armaments.
Mr.. Taft laid stress on the necessity
of limiting armamcnts, and in TINS
| connection said in parts
"The history of competitive arma
| ments, with its dreadful sequel, is too
fresh in the minds of the peoples Of
the world not to recognize the wisdom
of an agreed reduction. If the nations
| of Europe are content to bind them
| selves to a limitation with so many
! dangerous neighbors why should we
! hesitate to help the world movement
| Another point upon which he lac
| emphasis was in the denial that thu

| council of the league to send troops

EFFORT At PARIS
NOW IS To MAKE
AMENDMENT To
SUIT j. 6, SENATE
Monroe Doctrine Is to Be So
Safeguarded That Americans
viii Not Object to RatifiCa-
ton of Treaty,
LEAGUE PRINCIPLES
WILL BE APPROVED
But Details Are to Be Left for
Determination After Treaty
With Germany Has Been
Formally Concluded,

Paris, March 16 (by the Associated
Press) Efforts are being directed
today TO shaping the league of ma
tons covenant So as to insure its ac-
ceptance by the supreme council and
the approval of those Americans who
are demanding its amendment
Colonel House conferred with Sia
Robert Cecil, Leon Bourgeois and the
American delegates and reported TO
President Wilson. 1t is conceded that
some of the suggested amendments
can safely be adopted, for instance
those safeguarding the Monroe doc
trine and fixing conditions which will
permit of the adherence of the late
enemy powers.
Former Minister Pichon said today
that he felt It practically impossible
to include the covenant in the fnIst
treaty. The views of neutral coun-
tries, which had been invited, and
amendments could not be disposed of,
he added, before the probable early
signing of the preliminaries.
The issue, the minister suggested,
might be met by a declaration in the
treaty of the principles underlying the
league, leaving the details in abey-
ance. The war would be ended when
tho prehminaries were signed. he
pointed out, but the Germans would
not regain their pre-war status with
liberty of movement until the signing
of the final treaty pending which the
blockade would be lifted only par
tally.
Regarding Posen, M. Pichon said
that if the Germans persisted in their
rejection of the terms of the allied
commissioners, the entente would
have to intervene. Poland could not
be left in its present dangerous stu
alton. A. French general would be
sent to Poland with the first Polish
division which had fought in France,
as soon as possible.
NJ. Pichon denied the report that
the French government had accorded
recognition to the Russian Bolshe-
wiki, saying that the supreme council
would consider the Russian question

counts. Let us take 1t now when the
whole world is yearning for it."
Mr. Taft's address follows:
MY friend, Senator Knox, has pre-
scented formidable indictment
against the proposed covenant of the
league of nations A number of his
colleagues seem to. have accepted his
views as to its meaning. He says that
it is unconditional that it turns over
10 the executive council of the league
the ROVER to declare and make war
for us, to fix our armament and to
involve us as a mandatory in all sorts
of duties in the management of back
ward peoples. He says that it thus
transfers the sovereignty of this ma
ton to the governing body of the
league, which he asserts the executive
council to be.
when Senator KnoX's attack upon
the covenant is anaylzed, it will be
seen to rest on an assumption that
the executive council is given eXecu-
tive powers which are unwarranted
by the text of the covenant. The
whole function of the executive coun-
Gil is to be the medium through which
the league members are to exchange
views, the advisory board to consider
all matters arising in the field of the
leagues possible action and to advise
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-03-17

the members as to what they ought
by joint action to do.
Says Knox Arguments Falls.
"The council makes few, if any,
orders binding on the members of the
league. Where the executive council
acts as a mediating and inquiring
body to settle differences not arbi-
trated, its unanimous recommendation
of a settlement must satisfy the nation
seeking relief, if the defendant nation
complies with the recommendation.
All other obligations of the United
States under the league are to be
found in the covenants of the league,
and not in any action Of the executive
council When this is understood
clearly the whole structure of Senator
KnoX's indictment falls.
"The executive council is a most
necessary and useful body for co-or-
dinating the activities of the league,
for initiating consideration by the
members of the league of their proper
Joint and individual action, and for
keeping all advised of the progress
of events in the field of the league
Jurisdiction
Senator Knox's treatment of article
XVI is a fair illustration of the rea-
sons he advances for ascribing to the
executive council super sovereign
power.
Analyses Penaiizng Section.
Article XVI is the penaliZing sec
ton. Whenever a member of the
league violates it's covenant not to
make war under article MI, it is an
act of war against the other members
and they are to levy boycott against
the outlaw nation. There is in the
covenant no covenant or agreement
by them to make war. An act of war
does not produce Il state of war unless
the nation acted against chooses to
declare and wage war on account OF

Of Virtue), which sprang up after
Prussia's signal humiliation at Jena.
Further, they feel that under the Cos
pei of self-determination there may
be risks in carrying too far measures
chat are intended as defensive pre-
cautions.
The partisans of this attitude be-
lieve that the German National as
sembly solved the question as to what
the Germans expected would consti-
tute their limits, and they fear that
deep and continued resentment lead
ing to a war of revenge would be en-
gendered by cousing the forcible par
tition of elements voluntarily united.
They believe that larger reliance
should be placed upon the league of
nations against peril arising from
any new German menace, apart from
the Polish subject.
The further record of the days ac-
tivities may be summarized thus:
Consideration of the Czecho- Slovak
charges of a vast German Austrian
plot against the new Kingdom.
Against Dropping hConscription
Dissent was freely expressed on the
part of military experts, including
those of America, regarding abolition
of CONSUMPTION in Germany because
of the precedent thus created for 9TH
er nations Several authorities en-
pressed the belief that 100000 men is
an insufficient army for Germany
with which to maintain order ana
also that a twelve-year enlistment
will supply highly trained soldiers
who can teach recruits in case or
sudden mass levies. The third point
opponents to its abolition make is
that non-conscription may seriously
affect plans for military training IN
America, Great Britain and France
But those who have committed mem
selves to the proposition are well con-
tent with it on the ground that 1t IS

and rehabilitation of the whole

HEAVY SHOWS IN
MOUNTAIN AREAS
DURING FEBRUARY


Santa Fe, March 16.-Snow drifted
fifteen feet deep and the turning of
the early snow into ice is reported in
the Snowfall Bulletin issued for New
Mexico by the U. S. Weather bureau
today. This despite the fact that the
snowfall during February was light
over much of the state, especially the
northwest portion, the middle and
lower Rio Grande valley and the cast
ern and southern counties, but the
fall was so heavy over the mountain
areas that the average for the state
was eight inches. This gives a sea-
sonal fall to the close of February Of
1913 inches or more than a half great
er than the normal. A surplus stored
depth IS shown for the mountain
areas at the headwaters of the Pecos,
the Rio Grande and the ella and the
Southwest. The outlook therefore,
continues good for an abundant
stream flow, joining closely with the
summer rains.
In the Canadian and northeast re-
gion the snow still lies 40 inches deep
with drifts fifteen feet deep. On the
upper Pecos, 40 inches of snow re-
main on the west and north slopes
above 5000 feet As Ear south as
Parsons and Mountain Park 30 inches
of snow remain on the level. On the
Rio Grande watershed ~ inches OF
snow are reported above 10000 feet,
At Anchor. Taos county, the snow is
still "a inches deep while the min
ing camp Of Twining reports 54

Springs veports So inches at 10000
feet and San Mateo "a inches at s.
600 feet. Mount Taylor has 36
inches at 1000 feet, The Black
range still has SO inches along the
top of the range.
From Aragon, Socorro county, as
much as seven feet of snow is re-
ported in the mountains and three
feet over the foothills while Quemado
reports that snow has covered the
ground since last November. Pinos
| Altos reports 100 inches of snow since

Mr.. johnson of California seemed

in making the league of nations as at
