To Make Other Amendments

Ii is thought that the conference
may consider other amendments such
as may be regarded in America as
necessary to remove the ambiguity of
clauses that might affect the Monroe
Doctrine, the right of secession from
the league and the methods of using
force against recalCitrant nations.
The American delegates, It is said
may consider the presentation OF such
amendments, but are waiting for the
return of the President before defining
their attitude.
French apprehension is growing
over the danger of anarchy in Ger.
many, and the French delegates, there
fore, desire to hasten the conclusion
of the peace treaty and incorporate in
IL measures for the protection which
they have expected from the league Of
nations. NJ. Pichon, rejecting this
view, said that every one wants a
RESPONSIBLE government established
in Germany with which peace may be
concluded.
France Wants Five Million Now
The Peace Conference committee on
reparations has estimated that f2l,000,-
ooo,0 900 is the amount which the enemy
countries ought to pay the Allied and
associated powers, says HaNas Agency
statement today.
France, the statement adds. demands
immediate payment by the enemy Of
1900, 900, 900, part in gold. part in ma =
terials and part in foreign securities,
recommending that the remainder of the
amount be payable in a period of from
twenty-five to thirty-fve years.
\ NJ. Pichon regards Of prime impor-
tance the decision of the supreme
council to create a financial section OF
the league of nations. Some dele.
gates have suggested that the supreme
council has thus transferred to the
eventual league OF nations the respon.
sibility for handling the subject of the
international pooling of assets and liza
bilities growing out of the war. which
might otherwise have retarded the
conclusion of the peace treaty.
Will Report on Boundaries
Some Immediately pressing work has
been sensibly advanced, it is thought,
by the creation of committee on
boundaries. which will take up all re.
ports on frontiers and get them ready
. for consideration by the end of the
week as directed by the council of ten.
This task will be facilitated, II is be
1ieved, by the decision to deal now
only with boundary claims growing
ut Of the war and not admitting retro
active discussions.
Rene vivianl, former French premier
addressing a meeting of the French re-
lief society here Saturday night. said
that everybody should see the devss
said
"Paris Is too near the frontier. It Is
impossible TO move Paris from the from,
tier. Therefore II is necessary that the
frontier be removed from in front Of
Pnris."

jority OF European governments voted
II upon us"
Senator McCumbcr said he had not in
tended to discuss the league. but that
because OF recent addresses by Rcpub-
Ucan Senators he feared the country
might be misled into the idea" that all
Republicans are opposed to league
Of any character Some Republican Sem
ators, he conceded, were opposed TO any
world agreement
Depicting the horrors of war Sena-
tor McCumber added: II cannot stand
back and say, oh let the world be
damned, we can take care OF ourselves "
There Is some obligation resting on
the American people to help maintain
the peace Of the world" he said.
Referring to the recent attack on the
league by Senator Poindexter. of Wash
ington. Republican, Mr.. McCumber said
the Washington Senator proclaimed
mind our own business as the Ameri-
can doctrine.
Senator McCumber criticized those op-
ponents of the proposed league charter
who have advanced no substitute pro-
posaL Stating that Senators Lodge and
Knox had proposed substitutes, he
added:
Others have simply attacked, without
giving the President or our commission
ers in Europe the slightest idea OF what
should be done TO maintain the peace OF
the world"
Granting that the proposed league
constitution was not perfect. Mr.. Nc
Cumber said he believed that the Amer
lean representatives could and would
obtain amendments.
Demands Open Discussion
DEPRESSING from his prepared speech.
Senator Sherman demanded that there
be an open discussion of the league s
constitution.
IF the President is not a political and
governmental coward" he said, "he
will give IL to us. - And II
| cannot find expression of this privilege
in my own party 7 will go elsewhere
for IT,"
Senator France. Of Maryland. inter.
rupted to say that those favoring tho
constitution of the league as il now
stood do not dare to let the American
people discuss it, and they will not re-
move the censorship that prevents free
speech of the press and the people"
And" Mr.. France added, IF you dc
not find the privilege of free speech in
the Republican or the Democratic parties
you will find it among the people of
America"

ing the submarine exists among on
GERS of the American navy not now

coast line the submarine as a defensive
weapon is more important to America
than to any of the other powers. This
is the reason why one school OF Ameri.

oppose abolition of the submarine.
Their view does not prevail with the
administration. which holds we can get
along without any weapon which the
others agree TO dispense with.
