Washington, July 24.-'I am glad

in the Senate regarding the league of

of New jersey, commenting today upon
"x President Taft's letter to Will Hays.

nations and criticizing President
Wilson.
IF the other nations are not will
ing TO permit the United States to make
amendments to the league of nations
then they are not sincere in what they
say about desiring peace and the pro
lection of all the nations. continued
Senator Edge.
The other nations say they want to
make the league of nations strong. but
still preserve the national integrity of
all the nations. Then what objection
could they sincerely have to our making
it stronger and make amendments to it
to further protect the United States
Mr.. Taft is little late. but | N glad he
has at last seen the light.
Senators Lodge and Knox declined tC
discuss Mr.. Taft's letter. but arc clearly

Six Specific Proposals

Six specific Interpretation proposals
arc outlined which Mr.. Taft say.$ he
is convinced viii meet tho objections
of large grour Of Republicans who
favor league. He counts forty five
Democratic Senators as supporting the
President in the treaty fight and says
that should three Republicans be com
mitteG TO vote against material amend
monts no such proposals could receive
a Senate majority.
In one of his letters to Mr.. Hays Mr.
Taft severely criticized President Will
son for his "partiSan" course during the
war and in the peace negotiations and
in the other gave the impression that
no serious opposition is to be feared
to any portion of the peace treaty cx-
cept the league covenant. Tho Shan
tung provision, he wrote. had been t%c
subject of ''delibrrate cxaggcration.
Mr.. Taft wrote that his interprc
tations would not weaken the league
covenant. but would, he believed AS
sure ratification.
