and implication Of certain articles
Of the covenant Of the League Of
Nations; and ] must frankly say
that am unable to understand why
such doubts should be entertained.
You will recall that when I had the
pleasure OF a conference with your
committee and with the committee
OF the house Of representatives on
foreign affairs at the white house
in March last, the questions now
most frequently asked about the
Leagne of Nations were all can
vassed with view TO their inme-
diate clarification. The covenant of
the League was then in its first
draft and subject TO revision. It was
pointed out that no express recogni-
tion was given TO the Monroe doc
trine. that il was not expressly pro-
vided that the League should have
no authority TO act or to express
judgment on matters OF domestic
policy, that the right to withdraw
from the League was not expressly
recognized and that the constitu-
tional right Of congress 20 deter
mine al questions Of peace and war
was not sufficiently safeguarded. on
my return 10 Paris all these mat
ters were taken up again by the
commission on the League Of Ma
tions and every suggestion or the
United States was accepted.
NOTHING INCONSISTENT
IN COVENANT DRAFT.
with regard to the questions I have
mentioned. had in fact, already been
accepted by the commission and
there was supposed to be nothing
inconsistent with them in the draft
Of the covenant first adopted-the
draft which was the subject OF our
discussion in March-but no objec-
ton was made to saying explicitly in
the ext what all had supposed TO
be explicit in il. There was abso-
lutely no doubt as 10 the meaning
OF any one OF the resulting provi-
sions Of the covenant in the minds
OF taoee who participated in draft
ing Them, and I respectfully submit
that there is nothing vague or
doubtful in their wording.
The Monroe doctrine is expressly
mentioned as an understanding
which is in no way 10 be impaired
or interfered with by anything con-
tanned n the covenant and the ex-
preston regional understandings

not because any one OF the conferees
thought there was any comparable
agreement anywhere else in exist

Reds Claim Capture of
Perm, Kolchak Base
Loss of Strategic Point, if Con-
firmed, Is Heavy Blow to
Omsk Force

LONDON, July 2.-The capture of
the city of Perm from the forces of
the Kolchak government is claimed by
the Bolsheviki in q wireless dispatch
from Russia received here to-day The
occupation of Perm took place on
Tuesday, it is declared.
The loss of Perm to the Bolsheviki.
if confirmed, will be a serious setback
to the northern wing of the Kolchak
forces operating west of the Urals.
Perm was the starting point of the
Kolchak offensive last spring Early
in June the Kolchak forces captured
Glazov, 14O miles west of Perm, but
recently were compelled to retire on
this front. Perm is 210 miles north
of Ufa, the base of the south wing
of the Omsk government force, which
was captured by the Bolshevki or
June 12.
If the Siberian forces have lost
Perm, they will have only one i'm
portant base west Of the Urals
Ekaternburg.
The iBolsheviki seemingly are carry
ing out an offensive on their eastern
front against the Kolchak troops while
retiring in Southern Russia before the
non Bolshevik forces there The Boil
shevik strategy apparently has been
to strike hard on one front while re-
tiring on another and then to swing
their offensive suddenly to anothe.

Alstria7,s Predict
Ne,u World Conflict
Karolyi and Others Say Terms
Make Nation Vassal Of France
Until Freed by Arms

VIENNA, July (By The Associated
Press News regarding the prospects
of peace has not made any special i'm
preston upon the people OF the re-
public formed from the former Dual
Monarchy, because of their own myriad
difficulties, but one development of
the situation is found in the improve
mcnt of exchange rates.
1t is the general feeling that the
Central Empires have suffered more
through uncertainty, the blockade and
internal disorders during the protract-
ed conference at Paris than in any
year of the war.
Leaders of the old regime, including
Count Michael Karolyi, former pro-
visional president of Hungary; Count
Ottokar Czernin, former Austro Hun
garian Foreign Minister, and Count Al
mier, predict the outbreak of new wars,
due to the failure of the peace con-
ference to apply President Wilson's
principle of the selfdetermination of
nations. The press continues to en-
courage the idea that the peace being
dictated to the Central Empires is un-
just. The Clerical "Reichspost" de-
scrbes- it as making Germany vassal
of France, adding Germany now stands
at the head Of the oppressed peoples
of the world, which brings it more
honor than when under imperial rule.
It's mission will be to free enslaved
Ireland, Egypt and india"
"The. victory was a capitalistic one"
says the "Neuc Freie Presse." eng
land and America are now the absolute
masters of hundreds of millionA and,
like Emperor Hadrian of Rome, can
impose the economic death sentence on
refractory nations by withholding food.
The role of France is to be the watch
dog of Europe. The worst days Of
Germany are past. She has lost the
war and has been cruelty treated, but
she will be again in the markets of
the world quicker than her enemies
think"
The Socialist "Arbeiter Zcitung"
says: "Thc deliverancc of the world
from capitalism lies in socialism. The
men who engaged in the war on both
sides were unable to end it properly.
However, despite hardships and hui
miliations, peace will have a cleansing
effect"
