Senator Lodge stated that II wnl
his impression that under interuaf

president replied that there was 4

about that.

That there is no doubt In the minds
OF those who wrote the covenant that
the so-caiied doubtful provisions

senate wants them TO mean.
The president discussed the effect

Senator's Ask Questions.
Immediately after the president
had concluded his statement sena-
tors began questioning him. The
questions centered about the league

Senator Lodge brought out facts
concerning the matter in which the
covenant was drafted. President
Wilson said that the final draft was
made from the American and British
plans, and that his previous state
ment that the Smuts plan had been
the basis for the covenant was prob
ably somewhat misleading.
Senators Borah, Lodge and Nc.
Cumber questioned the president i'm
considerable detail concerning the ef.
feet OF reservations. The president
was asked whether the other nations
could not accept the reservations
simply by keeping silent with regard
to them. He replied that 1t would
