PEACE TREATY MAY NOT De PUB

Western Newspaper Unioa News sssvieA
Paris, April 11.-At the meeting OF
the commission on a League of Ma
tions, ten sections Of the covenant
were considered and passed. The Jap
anese amendment was not reached.
and the actual text Of the section ex-
empting the Monroe doctrine from the
provisions of the covenant of the
League of Nations is not yet available.
American commissioners stated, how
ever. that the doctrine was definitely
named in the provision guaranteeing
that it will not be affected by the
terms In the covenant The adoption
Of the section exempting the Monroe
doctrine was the only real exemption
made during the meeting. President
Wilson offered the amendment and
made a plea for II, saying that he be-
lieved the doctrine was protected un-
der the terms of the covenant as they
stood, but because Of the demands for
specific exemption. he felt 1t impera-
tive that the amendment should be
added. There was some adverse arHu-
ment, but the amendment was adopted
without prolonged opposition.
:, Paris. = Geneva, Switzerland, has
been chosen as the seat Of the League
of Nations, according to announcement
here.
Paris.lThe League of Nations COM
mission adopted q new section to the
covenant, specifically providing that
the Monroe doctrine Is not to be at
fected by the provisions Of the cove
nant. The Monroe doctrine amend
meat was prepared by Col. Edward NJ.
House. Provision that the League of
Nations shall exercise general super
vision OF the Saar valley for period
Of fifteen years was contained In the

the coal fields of the Saar valley up
to an amount to recOmpense her for
the losses sustained from German Oc-
cupation of the coal fields Of northern
France.
Indications are that there may be
Interpretations concerning the secrecy
with which the big four Is surrounding
itself, and rumOrs are heard that ne
gotiatioEs may open with the Germans
without fully advising all the peace
delegations Of the terms Of the treaty.
The council of four is strongly opposed
to official publication of the peace
treaty before Its submission to the
Germans. 1t maintains that 1t is al
lowing positive decisions to be an
nounced. and that consequently the
public will be advised on all the main
points before the treaty is signed.
