FRENCH PLAN PACT
PLEA To HARDING
Council OF League Members Dis
cusS ACCESSIBILITY of Scheme.
MAY SEND SPECIAL ENVOY
Resolution Proposing Elimination Of
Covenant From the Peace Treaty
is introduced BY Senator King,
Democrat, Of Utah.

Paris. Jan. 6-Individual members
OF the council Of the League o. VA
lions have discussed the ACCESSIBILITY
of sending Il special envoy 10 Mr. Hard
ing Immediately after his Inauguration
to urge upon him the difficulties which
European countries would experience
in setting up a new form Of association
OF nations.
Their principal grounds are that the
covenant Is part of the treaty which
gives the league administrai .on over
the Saar valley. the Danzig region anal
a number OF mandates and plebiscites.
The view is held among members Of
the French ministry that the soidi'y
of the treaty itself would be shaken u
the league part of it were abandoned
Would Revise Covenant.
This has led TO growing conviction
among the principal allied powers that
the league should be kept going in
some form. bur not necessarily as now
constituted. the ACCESSIBILITY of revision
of the covenant being quite generally
recognized.
1t Is considered here that an under
standing on the future form Of the
league could be more readily reached
If a representative of the council were
10 discuss the subject directly with Mr..
Harding.
Confidence Is expressed here that IL
direct discussion eliminated from tie
covenant all that is objectionable to
the United States, the President-elecJ
would not insist on the abandonment
OF the organization.
Would Kill Covenant.
Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator King
(Dem.) of Utah introduced his resolu-
ton proposing elimination of the cove
nant from the peace treaty and ratifi-
cation of the amended treaty.
The resolution said II was "impera-
tive that the acceptance by the United
States of the terms of peace with Ger
many be no longer delayed"
cit is obviously impossible for the
senate 10 agree M this tirle upon any
acceptance, amendment or revision of
the articles of the treaty constituting
the League of Nations" said Senator
King.
There are many who contend that
the recent election was Reputation
of the league. though II Is morally GER
tain that n few million electors voted
for Mr.. Harding who are In favor Of
the entry of the United States into the
League of Nations when the articles
are modified. revised and amended in
certain respects.
a candid view Of the present stu
alton indicates that the only practical
course now open is to ratify the
treaty. expressly excepting articles
which set up the League of Nations"
