PALMER SAYS WILSON CAN

Attorney General Disclaims Presi
dental Bee; Insists Prohibition
Enforceable,

Philadelphia, Pa. April a5-"Ii
President Wilson SO wished, he
would be nominated and would. be
reelected. do not think there is
any doubt of that
This is the optimistic prediction OF
Attorney General \. Mitchell Palm
err in a statement issued today re-
garding the reports that Mr.. Wilson
might seek third term.
incidentally, Mr.. Palmer, who last
night spoke in this city. disclamed
any personal Presidential ambitions,
and emphatically said the Depart
ment OF Justice would enforce prohi-
bition following July !.
On the subject of prohibition. Mr..
Palmer said:
You can hardly say that demobi-
lization has taken place when we
have million men or so under
arms, as we will have then. Unless
the President rescinds his proclama-
ton the country will go dry July l..
Can we enforce the law in this re-
gard? Why not? If the law was
damned through without specifically
providing that the Internal Revenue
Department should see to the en-
forcing without providing funds for
that purpose. the Department OF
Justice has always had funds and
the resources to. enforce laws when
no specific provision was made for
any other department of the Gov
eminent to do so.
OF course. if it is going to take
millions to enforce that lay, it will
be different matter. The Depart
ment of Justice does not have mil
lions for such purpose.
I'VE are going to have woman
suffrage. 1t has been long time
coming, like prohibition. but it will
come. and | think it is good thing"

CONSTITUTION OF LEAGUE
OF NATIONS REVISED
Monroe Doctrine Safeguarded and
Many Articles That Had Been
Criticized Modified.

Washington, D. c., April az
revised draft Of the covenant
OF the proposed League Of Ma
lions. was made public at the
covenant OF the proposed League of
Nations, was made public at the
State Department this afternoon by
acting Secretary of State Frank L.
Folk. The more important changes
are intended to safeguard the Mon
| roe Doctrine, to remove domestic
questions such as the Japanese is
sue from the operations of the
league, to permit nations to with
draw from the league upon two
years notice and to make clear that
the rule of unanimity shall control
the decisions of the council of the
league.
All the changes suggested by
former President Taft have been
covered in the revision of the league
covenant. Most of the changes
urged by Charles E. Hughes, former
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency, and before that a member of
the United States Supreme Court,
have been adopted, but the recon-
mendation of Hughes, Root, Knox
and others for a revision of Article
\ were not needed by the commits
sion i'll charge of the redraft of the
document. Article X is the one in
which nations entering the league
would mutually agree to guarantee
the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of all men,
bers of the league against external
aggression.
The text of the covenant was
made public in the form in which 1t
will be presented to the plenary SEES
sion OF the Peace Conference, to be
held tomorrow afternoon in Paris.
1t was cabled to Washington and
other world capitals in diplomatic
code last week. with instructions to
hold it in confidence until supple

from Paris. These came today and
directed that it be made public. with
The stipulation that no part of the re-
vised covenant be transmitted to

after its publication in the United
States. The purpose of this was to
prevent its premature publication

Senator Borah of Idaho was the
only prominent critic of the origi-
nal league covenant in Washington
and for that reason it was
to obtain from those who
had attacked the original draft of
February II. first-hand symposium
nj their attitude toward the altera-
tions made in the covenant since
President Wilson's second trip to
France. However, in the absence of
these men, there was a disposition to
believe that the alterations made had I
gone long way toward disarming
criticism of the alleged shortcom-
ngs OF the original draft.
Borah's first-hand impression of
the revised covenant was not salts
factory to himself and he is expected
20 continue his fight against the doc
lment as vigorously as he can. This
