OF Notes Urged
For Next Ioan,
Short Term Obligations in
Forthcoming Cam paisn
Favored in Lower House

WASHINGTON, " Feb 18 Short term
notes, maturing in from one to five
years, would be offered in the forth
coming Victory Liberty Loan cam
paign, instead of long term notes, UNI
der a tentative agreement reached to-
day by the House Ways and Means
Committee to fix the terms of the loan
by legislation rather than to give Sec
retary Glass wide discretionary powers
to determine them, as he had asked
At the same time Secretary Glass, in
a statement, explained that the inten-
sIVe popular campaign would be con-
Quoted as planned, regardless of the
terms arranged by Congress, and that
1T would start not later than April 2t.
The Secretary had asked Congress for
authority to issue either bonds or notes
as market conditions as the time might
warrant, but members Of the committee
concluded that a new loan issue would
necessarily carry with it such a high
rate of interest that financial markets
might be adversely affected for some
time.
Limit Of $4,000, 100000
Under the tentative agreement of the
committee, reached in executive sas-
sion, Secretary Glass would be given
discretion of issuing any one or sew
eral Of four kinds of notes to be pre-
scribed by the legislation. The ouan-
tity of these non-negotiabIe securities
would be limited to probably S17,OOO,-
100000, of which the Treasury now
plans to issue only about $4,000 ,OOO, 600.
The principal features of each of the
tour kinds of notes proposed would be
as follows:
One class would be at a low rate
Of interest, possibly per cent, and
exempt from all Federal taxation.
One would be at a comparatively
high rate, possibly per cent, and
subject to all Federal taxes.
third would bear moderate
rate of interest-4A per cent was
suggested-and be exempt from nor
NAL tax levies.
The fourth would be exempt from
taxation up to a certain amount.

Revised Covenant.
DECLINES TO DISCUSS IT

Changes which have been made in
the covenant of the league of nations
at Paris have been cabled from Paris
to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, re-
firing chairman of the Senate foreign
relations committee. The message
was received yestereny by the sena-
tor, but he declined 20 discuss it fur
ther than to say that he had not
asked the American peace delegates
for the information.
Senator Hitchcock is regarded gen.
orally as the chief spokesman of the
administration in the controversy
which has developed in this country
over the league of nations plan, and
it is understood that the purpose OF
sending the communication was not
only to keep the senator informed of
the progress made in revising the
league constitution, but also that ex-
pected to be made.
Will Debate With Senator Lenroot.
Senator Hitchcock is to participate
in a joint debate with Senator Len
league of nations in New York to-
morrow night, and it is probab BILE that
he will use some of this information

relative to the peace conference to
be received by any senator from the
American delegates at Paris.
Opposition to League Reported.
Senator wadsworth of New York,
who was in Washington yesterday on
his way from New York to the south
west, declared that the sentiment in
New York state. where he has been
on a speaking tour recently in opposi-
ton to the league of nations consti-
tuition as now drafted. is increasing.
The opposition, he said. was in the
main to the extensive powers which
are given the executive council of the
league, with no code of laws to guide
the council in the future, and to Sec
ton 10. which would guarantee the

Want Monroe Doctrine Preserved.
Senator wadsworth said. TOO. thai
| there was widespread insistence that
a provision be written into the
leagues constitution preserving the
Monroe doctrine. He deplored the de-
lay in concluding the negotiations fol
peace. The Senate. he predicted
would not ratify the treaty OF peace
unless the Monroe doctrine is safe
guarded and the treaty absolves the
United States from the duty Of pro-
tecting the territorial integrity of all
the nations Of the earth.

tude of the Italians relative to the

tude and that this might serve to
