May Copy u. S. Clause.

May Copy U. S. Clause.
So as further to insure mainte,
nance of the national sovereignty
it is possible the final draft will
carry a clause similar to that in
the American Constitution which
declares that all powers not spc-
cihcally delegated to the Federal
government shall be reserved to
the State.
In this state powers not dele
gated to the league naturally
would be reserved 10 the nations.
Discussions also are in progress re-
garding the time limit in which a ma =
ton can present notification of its
withdrawal from the league.
British Would Not Dominate.
By extending the necessity for una
nimity of decisions by the house of
delegates. which is now planned, 1t
is felt that Senator Borah's charge
that the British would dominate the
league through their colonies is met
Under such a voting arrangement,
Americas three votes would be just
as effective as those of Great Britain.
When the Republicans storm of crit
icism first broke the correspondents
were given clearly to understand
there would be no general amend
ments to the covenant. 1t was stated
all questions had been thoroughly
threshed out and the best method of
phraseology decided on so as to suit
all powers.
Further it was pointed out that II
the door were open to amendments
there would be such a flood OF them
that the covenant never would be
completed.
Objections to non-inclusion of the
Monroe Doctrine were met by the
statement that if this were permit
ted all other powers would endeavor
to make exceptions in their own in
terests.
Covers All Points.
A feeling is manifest that the
covenant as it now stands covers all
the points raised in the various OBJ
jections. but in the desire to meet
all criticism, certain amendments
are now being made.
1t is significant, however, that
some neutrals presented the same
suggestions that were brought out
by criticisms in America.
If a political view is taken of the
situation it all depends on where
you sit.
Either the Republicans have gain
ed their points in getting the
amendments they demanded; or
President Wilson has merely sensed
public opinion of the world in gem
eral, and is acceding to it.
