Lodge and Knox. and the main points of the recent debate between Senator Lodge and Dr. Lowell are being gone over in shaping these changes.
 According to reports President Will sons view is that the two main ob- stacles to an early conclusion of peace are reparations for war damages and the Franco German Rhine frontier. The belief was expressed by those cover sant with the Presidents view that this situation will be clearly and definitely presented to the premiers and if need be a suggestion will be made that they remain continuously together until these two difficulties are met and over come. The expectation also was ad- vanced that any doubts still remaining on the question whether the league of nations would or would not go into the peace treaty would be settled in some quite definite understanding among the premiers who are the controlling influ- ence of the conference.

Lukewarin Toward
New League Outline
''Inferior 10 Old" Is View
of "Cl1ronicle": "News,"
Advocate of World Pact,
Has Little Confidence in
lis Efficacy

LONDON, April 1.-THE summary Of
the amended covenant Of the league of
nations evokes no enthusiasm in the
London morning newspapers, and it is
declared by some commentators to be
less satisfactory than the first draft.
The Chronicle for instance. fixes
certain points which it thinks make the
new draft distinctly, and perhaps de-
cisively, inferior TO the old
The newspaper condemns the policy
of requiring unanimity for the dcci-
sions of both the council and assem-
bly,, and also condemns the terms upon
which the covenant may be amended
and permission given any nation to
withdraw on two years notice 1t re-
CARDS the covenant as unharmed by
the Monroe Doctrine amendment, which,
it believes, should facilitate the ad-
hesion of the United States to the
covenant.
The Daily News which is' warm
champion of the principle of the league
sees danger IN some of its provisions
1t objects to the constitution of the
new council which, it says. will mani
testify be controlled by prominent rap
representatives of the five great pow
ers when they are in agreement" and
1t fails to see how the four representa-
tlves of other powers chosen for the
assembly can have much independence.
The paper does not express any great
confidence in the efficacy of the league
IN any case.
The labor paper, "The Daily Herald"
says the summary does not indicate
much Improvement on the original
draft. 1t declares that, from a demo
cratic viewpoint. 'the league is still an
alliance of states, and not union of
peoples"
The Post which is an opponent of
the league and severe critic of Presi-
dent Wilson, refers ironically to the
new Garden of Eden in which "the
Monroe Doctrine will take the place of
the treee of knowledge of good and
evil referring to the fruits of the
Western Hemi sphere being forever for
oldden to signatores of the league"
