Paris, April Though no amend
ment Safeguarding the Monroe doc
trine has yet been proposed for incor-
poration in the covenant of the league
Of nations and though the Japanese
claim for declaration of racial equal
/ ity in al coultries hase not been for
mulated, the British authority most
/ directly concerned with the fortunes
| of the league is convinced that the
! covenant will be completely drafted
! for inclusion in the peace treaty by
! the end of next week,
! Opponents of The league are claim
! ing that its character has been large
! " altered from a political TO social
! project by amendments already in
! serted in the draft. In reality, while
! it's social aspect has been extended,
! especially in relation to International
! labor and health provisions, its basic
purpose, the prevention of war re-
| mains unaffected.
British Would Include Germany.
The most notable change in the
league situation has not occurred in
| the covenant, but in the conviction in
! British quarters, hitherto hostile to
German inclusion. that Germany must
| be admitted at the earliest possible
moment If the project is to be sue
! cessfu and If it is to preclude danger
! TO the peace of the world through the
! formation of rival league.
/ 1t is now fully recognized that ex-
| clusion of Germany would not only
weaken the league but would also en-
| courage intransgence in Germany.
Liberal opinion in England has ia
vored the suggestion that the Irish
problem should be voluntarily submit
tod by England for settlement by the
league.
Ire!aud Cuah. Get .lndgnRnt.
II 10 claimed that II it should not be
so submitted any power interested in
the settlement of the problem might
bring 1t before the league, under ar
tticle X, which provides as follows;
1T is hereby also declared and
agreed to be the friendly right of the
high contracting parties to draw at
tention of the body of delegates or OF
the executive council to any circum-
stances affecting international inter-
course which threatens to disturb in
ternational peace or good understand
ing between nations, upon which
peace depends
1t has always been contended by
the best authorities that good under
standing between America and Great
Britain will be permanently hampered
while the Irish question remains un-
settled and that such a contatton
seems to fall directly within the pur-
view of this clause,
French Press Rescntful.
Premier Lloyd Georges protest at
he council of ten against the French
= press criticisms and disclosures of its
proceedings and his demand conse-
, quently for complete secrecy respect
ing the transactions at the council OF
four here excited strong resentment
in French circles. 1t was only TO be
! expected that the Paris journalists
would have exceptional official con-
nections among the French encourage
of the conference, but as this entour-
age has now been banished from the
. sessions of the council of four the
:, Paris papers are feeling the draught,
- Premier Lloyd Georges later talk
with the British journalists, inculcat-
= ing rational ideas as to the amount of
;. ! reparation that Is practically obtain
able from Germany, has now intensl-
fled the resentment of the reactionary
: press, as the French government has
- not yet taken any steps TO open the
eyes of the French people to the re-
alities of reparation possibilities.
