AMENDMENT COVERING
MONROE DOCTRINE TO
Be VOTED ON TONIGHT
President Wilson And Colonel
House Are Advocating This
Move.
By Carl D. Groat.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }
Paris, March 24.--An amendment to
the league of nations covenant covering
the Monroe doctrine, advocated by
President Wilson and Colonel House, is
expected to be presented at tonight s
session Of the league commission.
The proposed amendment would pre-
vent any power from acquiring territory
in the western hemisphere by conquest,
purchase, treaty or otherwise, unless the
Americas consented.
This article was reported today to be
meeting with opposition from within
the commission, especially by the Brit
ish and French, who have extensive in
terests in the Americas. 1t could not
be learned whether the presrcent will
attempt to force through the amend
ment despite the opposition, but it was
believed he will strongly advocate its
adoption, inasmuch as it would remove
much of the ground forl opposition in
the United States. The Monroe doe
trine proposal is held by some to mark
a considerable recession from Wilson 's
original position, that the covenant
would not be altered except in minor
way.
The proposal for changes in the cove
nant submitted by Senator King Of
Utah has not yet been officially com
mented on.
Japan s. recommendation for an
amendment providing racial equality
was not presented at Saturday meeting.
"a press association dispatch Satur-
day said it was up for consideration.
The United Press said its presentation
has been postponed.)
It may be reserved until the consti-
tuition is debated by the plenary ses-
sion. Many Of the delegates are UNDER
stood to favor equality of nations, but
not Of nationalities.

CAUSE FOR CRAANY's
.DILATORi TACTICS is
SEEMINGLY EXPLAINED
viii Now Offer To Oppose
BOlsheviki To Get Less
Severe Peace Terms.
Br William Phl,,n simms.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. J
/, Paris, March "a. = The Dolshevik
movement, eliminating in Hungary
setting up a soviet republic and declar,
ing war on the allies, was believed to-
day to have furnished an explanation
for Germany's dilatory and obstructive
tactics toward the peace conference.
Germany, playing for time, mas now
reached point where she will offer to
oppose bolshevik invasion of western
Europe in exchange for less severe
peace terms, in the opiuson OF many
delegates.
This is not such preposterous situa-
tion as at first appears, according to
the opinion expressed in some quarters.
The entire situation south of the Baltic
is chaotic and "full of dynamite. /" 1t
may possibly grow entirely out Of allied
control, it was pointed out, unless it
is met squarely at once. Une solution
apparently will be to raise an inter
allied expeditionary force. The alterna-
tive is to allow the Germans, who are in
a much better strategic position, to deal
with the situation. Germany would
thus virtually become the allies man
datory in eastern and central Europe.
Now Blocking Allies.
Germany, in the meantime, is block.
ing the allies at every point possible.
Many are convinced she is taking this
attitude for no other purpose laan to
force permission for ncr 10 play '.Aor-
atius at the Bridge.
Menaced on two sides, one by the
Germans and the other by the bolsheyik,
Poland is desperately in need Of food,
equipment and assistance of her troops
that fought in France Yet Germany is
refusing to permit these troops to land
at Danzig, placing the peace conference
face to face With The alternative of
backing down Nof fMaisembarking the
Poles under the guns of allied warships.
The situation in Rumania is darker still
in many ways. Added to the threat of
a bolshevilS invasion from the east is
the new menace of soviet Hungary.
Poland and Rumania desire common
boundary so they may form buffer
states against the bolshevik under pro-
lection of the league of nations. but
it would require some time to bring this
about and the situation apparently de.
mands speed Of action above everything
else.
The feeling is growing here that max
ing this international iigsaw puzzle Of
peoples and nations fit is the most inn
portant problem before the conference
and that whether the preliminary treaty
with Germany is ready for signing next
Saturday matters little unless strong
measures are taken by the allies to
stamp out the mischief brewing
throughout eastern and central Europe.

WORK OF COME RfES
APPEARS FAR FROM
COMPLETION TODAY
Rhine Question Seemed To
Be Insoluble AT Today's
Session OF Delegates.
By Lowell Mellctt

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Mar. 24.-The peace confer
'tnee began today what was supposed to
be the last week of its work on the
preliminary peace treaty with cherry
thing apparently in state of chaos 1t
seemed as though the delegates had
nothing to show for their many weeks
CT hard work except an increased accu-
mutation of unsolbed problems.
If the situation is half as bad as its
surface Indications, it seems certain the
conference will not wind up its work
on the treaty this. week or for several
weeks. The American delegation says
The situation is similar to that Of the
closing days cf congress-it appears inn
possible that the work will be com
pleted, yet it is always finished.
There is a tendency to feel, too, that
hereafter the British and Americans
will cut the Gordian knots in the
peace settlement by laying down q
program for solution and enforcing it by
their economic, financial and political
domination.
French Are Stubborn.
For instance the Rhine question ap-
pearod iinsoluble today. The French
were still holding out for territorial Sc
curity en- the left bank. Various com
promises habe been sugges.ed, rejected
and renewed. If no scheme consistent
with the principle of elf-determination
and no annexations is achiebcd, the
problem is expected to be terminated
by flat American and British declara-
tion somewhat to this effect:
"You have tried and we have helped
you work out plan of territorial guar
antees which will not violate the prin-
ciples underlying the armistice Our at
tempts have ended in failure. Therefore
you must accep. simply the guarantee
offered under the league Of nations"
Few here doubt the ability Of Great
Britain and the United State to enforce
the solution. The Anglo-American dele
gates are expected to take the same
attitude toward Italy and Japan. AS a
result, while there appears to be no
solution to these and many ether ques-
tions in sight, it is always possible to
fasten the lid ON International bieker
ings and sign treaty covering all nee.
essary points in line with the armistics
provisions.
