Draft as Completed
!. Makes No Reference
to Monroe Doctrine

PARIS. March u (by the ASsociat led
Press).-Containing neither any ref
erence to the Monroe doctrine nor to
the Japanese proposal for recognition
of the racial equality of nations. the
draft Of the covenant OF the league OF
nations is in the hands of sthe special
drafting committee. The draft was
completed Wednesday night at q sit
ting of the full committee and the
covenant is expected to be ready in
completed form early next week.
The two amendments around which
has centered the greatest interest and
much divergence Of opinion. however.
may be offered either in the council of
ten or The plenary peace conference
to which the covenant must go for
final action.
Unexpected Obstacles.
pected obstacles had arisen concern
ing the Monroe doctrine amendm ent
to. the league of nations covenant,
making it doubtful whether the
amendment can be incorporated in the
revised document.
Among amendments adopted was
one directly recognizing the prin-
ciple of woman's suffrage in that it
provides that, the offices OF the
league are open to women.
The question as to the possibility
of the withdrawal from membership
in the league of a nation was settled
by an amendment permitting with
drawal on two years notice, but not
until such nation has filled out it's
international obligations.
Important Amendment.

to proceed with arrangements Tor the
assembly. securing the necessary
buildings and perfecting the secre-
tariat forces all III advance of the
ratification Of the treaty. But the
acts OF this committee will be subject
TO the approval of the ratifying body.
Another amendment gathers into
one section all of the separate con-
ventio1is which are to be Incorporated
IN the covenant. such as these relat-
ing to labor, commerce and nnance:
so that these are not made part or
the treaty. but that the countries
signatory agree to do the things set
forth therein This would leave the
league only to execute the terms OF
such conventions as may be agreed
upon by the separate states
Provision is to be made for similar

other subjects, such as white. slavery
and the opium traffic. which are likely
hereafter to be inserted i'll the cove
nant.
Mandatory Change.
The language of the mandatory
article has been changed 50 as to
make it clear that no nation shall be
