Paris, April 1.-The league of ma

meet to receive the new covenant

The redraft, which was completed
by the printers late yesterday, con-
tains 26 articles, the same as the orig
inal draft. 1t was regarded as be-
ing considerably improved in word
ing and carries several amendments.
The amendments covering the
Monroe doctrine, Japan's claims
for racial equality and Frances
recommendations for an interna-
tional general staff may be
brought up Thursday, but no def
mite information could be OBJ
tanned in this regard.
BELIEVED ABANDONED
In some quarters it was believed
they would all be abandoned.
These four important new amend
ments were submitted yesterday by a
committee representing the recent in
ternational Socialist and labor con-
gress in Berne:
body shall include representatives of
the minority parties in the various
parliaments as well as those of the
majority parties, in order that it will
come nearer being representative of
peoples rather than governments.
PROBABLY IRELAND
Some sort of representation shall
be provided for nationalities within
nations-obviously referring partic-
ularly to Ireland.
The major principle shall be kept
open for the benefit of future mem
bers of the league, instead of attempt
ing to dispose of all mandatories at
this time.
Universal free trade shall be estab-
lished in all raw materials, with a
view to preventing a monopoly by any
nation which would result In hard
ships for the laborers of any coun-
try unable to obtain sufficient sup
plies of these materials"
