Jefferson City Mo-. March 49,
The Missouri legislature in joint ses-
sion today heard an address by United
States Senator Reed Of Missouri, in
criticism Of the league of nations con-
stitution.
Reiterating contentious that the
league would impair American SOW
ereignty, abrogate the Monroe doc
trtne, violate the American constitu-
ton, create a 'super-government of
the w0rld,' and force the United
States into world wide difficulties and
policing obligations, Senator Reed
challenged assertions Of its advocates
that the leagues DEGREES and powers
would be merely advisory. He insisted
and involve commands Of the world.
Asserting that the league charter
contains no provision for withdrawal
Of nations. Senator Reed continued:
Those who conceived its structure
did not intend to allow the United
States to escape. once it should fate
fully step within the entangling web.
The American people were told
that the constitution OfSthe league
had been conceived by American rep
resentatives and was being forced on
reluctant Europe. It now transpires
that the entire scheme from first to
last, with some slight notifications.

FOR THE SESSION
No Evidence to Show That
President Has Changed
His Mind.

Washington. March 1S.-An extra
session of congress before June / is
believed to be certainty by many
government officials and members of
congress. although their predictions
are without the support of evidence
to show that President Wilson has
changed his determination not to
summon congress before his return
from France.
Cabinet officers are known to be-
lieve that the session will begin in
May, some expecting the date to be
about the middle of the month, with
others suggesting an earlier date,
probably May S. AS far as known
none of the cabinet members have
specifically recommended any date to
the president, but Secretary Glass is
understood to have presented certain
facts in regard to the governments
financial situation from which the
president may make his own deduc-
tions.
Members of congress remaining in
Washington, particularly the Repub-
licans, hope that the session will be
called two months before the end of
the current fiscal year next June 80,
SO ample opportunity will be given
for considering appropriation bills
that failed at the last congress. Re-
