May Enter States Whose
Senator's Oppose World
Peace Combine.
EXTRA SESSION CALL
SOME TIME IN MAY
Probable Congress Will BE Summoned
to Convene simultaneously With
President Wilson's Return From
Franee-Sweden Has Strong Amend
mont to Peace League Covenant
Which Preserves, Monroe Doctrine.
tBy the ASSOCIATED Press. ]


Paris, March 21.-A special session
OF both houses Of the American con-
gress probably will be called to as
semble about the middle of May, the
date President Wilson hopes to return
to the United States.
1t is possible that If the treaty Of
peace is sufficiently advanced to war
rant such a course, a special session OF
the senate may be called even earlier
to afford 1t opportunity 10 deal with
the subject before being called upon
portant matters, chief Of which will be
financial affairs.
1t is held D be unnecessary for
President Wilson to be in Washington
when the call for such special ses-
sion Is issued, for this may be cabled
from Paris in advance OF his depart
ure from France. Mr.. Wilson, how
ever has reached no decision regard
ing the question, and is reserving the
shaping Of sucn course OK action until
he has a more definite idea Of the date
Of his return TO America
The president also is keeping IN
touch with the Development of senti-
ment in the United States toward a
league Of nations, If the situation ap-
pears to him to demand such action. it
is not unlikely that, shortly after his
return from Europe, hs will make an
extended speaking tour, presenting his
views Of the issue directly to the
voters In the states whose senators
are opposed to the ratification Of the
league plan. "a

Paris. March 22.-Becanse Of Pres
dent Wilson's desire to attend the ses-
sions both of the council of ten and
the league Of nations commission, to-
days conference program was re-
versed.
The council met at II o'clock this

set for 10 o'clock this forenoon, will
meet at o'clock this afternoon.
In connection with the league OF ma
tions commission session to consider
the several amendments to the league
Of nations covenant which have been
proposed, the text OF the eNamendment
proposed by tie Swedish delegation to
the conference Of neutrals was given
this morning. Il reads:
"rh.s covenant shall not be inter
preted as containing anything
contrary to the sovereignty of states,
insofar as the state itself by 9dhering
TO the covenant, shall consepS and the
covenant itself shall not interfere with
the internal affairs Of any Of its mem
bers."
while the amendment does not mem
tion the Monroe doctrine, 1t is tacitly
to apply to 1t Several OF
the members of the American delega-

washington, March 22.-It was said
nnofficially at the White House today
that President Wilson might return to
the United States, by May !. leaving
PAris inmediatly after reaching an
agreement on the principal features OF
the peace treaty without waiting Tor
the actual signing of the document.
An extra session Of congress not lat
er than May Is now is regarded as
among officials and leaders
in congress, and if the president Is
able to return as early as May both
houses may be called to meet very
shortly after that date. Government
departments by resorting to various
expedients are meeting the situation
created by the failure Of appropriation
bills in the last congress. but it is re-
earded as essential that these meas
ures be passed before the end Of the
fiscal year June 30.
The suggestion in Associated Press
dispatches from Paris that the pres
ident might summon the senate in
special session to consider, the peace
treaty in advance Of the meeting with
both houses was received here with in
terest. IT was noted that in this con
nection that the republicans who will
control the senate have taken no steps
toward organization. altho the house
of representatives virtually has conf
pieted its work.
