.LEAGUEU AMENDMENTS
WILL WIN VOTES ENOUGH
FOR SENATE PASSAGE

4, the covenant for a league Of ma
tioas, when its text is made public
Is revised as the recent dispatches
? from Paris indicate, it is believed
here that the Senate will not reject IT.
While il will be the subject OF long
discussion and perhaps of amendment
tits improbable that it will be turn
= ed down bodily.
The Senators who have been Ior
the covenant from the outset and who
were prepared 70 vote for anything
9 which came out OF the peace confer
snce are enthusiastically asserting
i. that the amendment will kill practi-
cally all. opposition.
While this is doubtless an extreme
view, 1t locks as IL the amending OF
the instrument would bring enough
worth to the covenant to give 1t a
support by tw!C-thirds, Of the Senate.
viii Win TwO-thIrds Vote.
For weeks it has been apparent to
close observers mere that If the cove
nspt is amended to meet the fore
most objections il would finally have
a two-thirds vote.
ID. The fact is that while some Sen
ators will stand out against any
league on principle, the bulk or the
Senate is thinking OF the covenant in
terms OF politics. Most Of the Demo-
Gratis viii support anything the Ao-
Dinistration presents. Many or the
Republicans, believing most of the
people ere for some kind Of league
viii support Ole, If 1t Is not too oD-
z 1ectionabls from the standpoint OF
PpreservIng American sovereignty.
In weighing the question whether
the covenant IS going to be ratihed II
IS necessary to bear in mind that Ma
= ffonsl Chairman Hays and a number
of other prominent Republican lead
ers do not want their party as a party
committed against a league.
They prefer to see an AMENDED
proLRsition put through and then to
claim credit for the amendments. Al |
ready the signers Of the ''round robin"
, are saying that II is due to them that |
the covenant has been modified.
Contention Net Over.
It is far from true, OF course, that
the contention over the league is over.
IN the hrst place, the text must, be |
seen before the real leaders in the /
senate win '6efnitely commit them
selves In the second place, no one /
knows what the pienary session Of /
the peace conference will do. The \
racial equality proposition may prove
a stumbling block. If il develops that
the regional understandings" amend
ment to shield the Monroe doctrine I
is so broad as to make japan clearly
paramount In the Orient, there viii 1
be difficulty over it.
Broadly. however, il looks as il the
Republican leaders would content
themselves. with having forced modi-
iications in the covenant, and, per-
haps, with putting on certain reserva-
tions by way Of amendment in the
senate-or, at least, offering them
gpd then voting for it leaving the
Democratic party and the Wilson Ad-
roinistration to bear the responsibility
Ior what comes out Of the Paris con-
ference.

There is terrific power. as well
as terrific brutality, in the Rus
sian upper class (read Voltaire's
sketch of Peter the Great in his
"Life of Charles the Twelfth"). /.
Too bad that power could not be

of feet there must be one head, to
tell the feet where to go.
This country is solemnly decid-
ing that it will protect itself by
stopping immigration Of labor for
some years. And at the same time
labor is going back to Europe and
taking its money with it. Re-
turning laborers will take out Of
the country in cash in a short time

OF DOLLARS, almost the amount
of the new Victory Loan.

ton, instead of planning to keep
such labor out, it would render a
real service.
Before your skilled mechanic

young Swede at Gary can make
twenty dollars a day, running his
keen blue eye along steel rails to

one must dig out the coal to malt

charges growing out of the attack on
the Jail and the consequent rioting
on Saturday night. August 80. when
unsuccessful efforts were made pre-
