nevertheless. many missionaries appear to place credence in them.
 "This is not surprising he said, because they associate constantly with the Koreans, with whom they converse freely. On the other hand, they rarely come in contact with Japa- nese not knowing our language. Thus they hear one-sided story. It is mo- torious fact that the average Korean is a great liar. It is possible the Kor- cans are telling their foreign friends distorted stories painting the Japa- nese in the blackest coiors. Thus the missionaries, pinnng their faith on the people they regard as their friends, are forming an incorrect judgment"

SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS

The former Secretary's suggested amendments, annexed to his letter, to Chairman Hays follows:
 "l Strike out article XIII (relatinS to arbitration and insert the following:
 "The high contracting powers agree to refer to the existing permanent court of arbitration at The Hague, or to the court of arbitral justice proposed at the second Hague convention when established or to some other arbitral tribunal, all disputes between them Gncludng those affecting honor and vital interests) which are of a justiciable, character and which the powers concerned have failed to settle by diplomatic methods. The powers so referring to arbitration agree to accept and give effect to the award of the tri- bunaL.
 Disputes of justiciable character are defined as disputes as to the inter- pretation of a treaty, as to any question of international law, as to the existence of any fact which if established would constitute a breach by any international obligation, or as to the nature and eX- tent of the reparation to be made for any such breach.

 He saw the organization in the imme-
 diate future in the liKhs 1f at, a.-iAa. .e
 of approximately one-half the active
 world against or for the control of the
 other half"
 In view of uncertainty as to when or upon what terms the central or eastern powers are to be admitted to the league, " he contended that the initial obligations of the members must not be regarded as irrevocable, and favored it's revision
 "when the world is less subject to ex- citing and disturbing causes" And at the time of revision, or thereafter upon
 years notice, he said, any member should have the right to withdraw.
 Mir. Roots study of the covenant clause committing the signatories ito respect
 and preserve as against external aggres-
 sion the territorial integrity and exist ing political independence of all members of the league had led him on first tm-
 pression, he stated, to believe that the article should be stricken out. If per
 petual, he added, it would be futile, in
 that it would attempt to preserve for
 all time "the distribution of power ana
 territory made in accordance with the views and exigencies of the allies in the present iuncture of affairs" On second thought, however, the former secretary declared, he had become convinced that the article should be considered in refer ence to the present situation in Europe. To restore order, he contended, the all lied council must determine lines of re- construction and enforce it's determina- ton.

It must go on with the performance of it's duty" For this reason he advocates the retention of article 10, guaranteeing the independence of all the league members, with the re- servation that after five years any sig natory may withdarw from the oblisa- | tion.
 | The former secretary regretted that the l Senate was not convened, immediately y ! after March 4, ito perform its duty Of discussing the project, pointing out that with the President and Secretary Lan- l sing members of the American delega- l ton there would be no executive official to supervise the negotiations from the 1 usual vantage point of the President and Secretary of States passing upon the
