Capital Sees Desire
To Meet Objections
In League Changes
WASHINGTON, April 12.?The offi?
cial summary of tho amended* covenant
of the league of nations was receivod
in Washington to-night too late for of
ficials and members of Congress to
study it for formal comment. It was
apparent, however, that important
changes in the original document were
Jesigned to meet criticisms made on
the floor of the Senate and elsewhere
by friendly critics as well as opponents
jf the league.
Aside from the amendment specifi
:ally mentioning the Monroe Doctrine
as among "regional understandings"
not affected by the covenant, the change
which seemed to attract trje most at
tention here was that requiring a
unanimous vote in both the Assembly
of the states and the governing execu
tive council in any decision upon a
matter "of international interest or
threatening the peace of the world."
In the original draft unanimous con
sent was required excepting tho parties
to a dispute. This apparently was in- !
tended to make it clear that no nation !
surrendered its sovereignty or rijrht '
of individual action through member- !
shlp in the league.
Another change in a section much I
discussed in the Senate debate requires |
the approval of each member state of
recommendations of the council as to
the amount of armed force, if any, to
be supplied by those states to act' on
behalf of the league in moving against
a state which has broken the covenant.
Opponents of the constitution as origi
nally drawn insisted that this section
took away from Congress the powcr to
declare warand might force the United
States to send its soldiers or sailora
into battle in some fa,r-off corner of I
the earth for a cause in which tho '
country was not interested.
Tho same kind of a change was made !
in the sections relating to disarma- i
ment and the administration of man
datea over the former (Icrman colonies !

The Inner Failure
A Peace Conference Impotent to Deal With
Bohhevism Talks of Keeping the World in Order
By Frank H. Simonds
pARIS, April 11.?Tho failure of the
peace conference, which is the
league of nationa in its first stage, to
adopt toward Bolshevism such a policy
as would restore peace in the world has
been to dostroy the prestige of the
league of nations as a peace bringing
document.
The feeling in Paris to-day on all
side8 is that the league of nations doc?
ument ? tvhen it is signed will remain
no more than a document, because it
provides no power and no way to deal
with Bolshevism.
The failure of The Hague confer?
ence in the presence of Germany in
arms discredited the earlier machinery
for promoting world peace.
The failure of the I'aris conference
in the presence of anarchy out for con
quest has had a similar effect.
Meantime, Bolshevism marches from
success to success.
The British in Archangel are facing
disaater.
The French have evacuated Odessa.
The Crimea is about to be abandoned.
A real decline in the appeal of the
league of nations in Paris a decline
which is one of the considorable cir
eumstances of the last three v/eeks
has been the realization that, oven when
eonstituted, the league of nations
would have no power to restore peace
in the world, because it would have
no power to repress anarchy otl the
march.

300 French Deputies
Sign "Rouiul Robin"
For "Payment in Full"
PARIS, April 12. -Three hundred
members of the French Chamber of
Deputies have signed a manifesto as
sociating themselves with the resolu
tion signed Thursday by tho members
of the Senate in which hope was ex
pressed that full restitution would be
exactod from the enemy and that the
full cost. of the war would be imposed
"on those responsible for the greatest
crime of history." Tho resolution said
that the Senators insisted that the
peace treaty and the league of nations
provlde legal and territorial guaranteea
of sufflcient strength to crevcnt future
wars.
This is taken by many observers, in
cluding French newspapcrs, as another
sign of tho growing discontcnt with
the peace conference and its work. The
French prcss also is apparently dis
contondod over the results of the last
two mrotirgs of tho league of nationa
comni'Huion.
"Pcrlinax," writing in tho "Echo de

stance been supported and influenced
by Lloyd George. There is at Ieast
reason to believe that Lloyd George,
in the face of the recent political up
heaval in England, has changed front
and Is prcpared to support the old ar
rangement. Presi,dent Wilson stands
firn? against giving Danzig to Poland
and inclines to favor creating an in
ternational free city. France at all
times has stendfastlv supported the
claim of the Poles and continues to ad
vocnte tha only solution which coukl
insure the salvation of Poland.
The question is now to become one
of the critical iasues of the whole
l'aris conference. I'oland is not yet
lost, either to Bolshevism or to the
Germans, but unless the Paris Confer?
ence returna to its original decision
it is possible to expect Bolshevism in
Warsnw as it is now in Budapest, as
it is expected in Vienna, as it is
threatened in Rumania.

The Wilson-George Duel
What actually happened a week ago
was that Lloyd George suddenly dis
. covered that his policy in the Paris
conference had aroused profound criti
cism and distrust in Great Britain,that
: the majority of his new House of
Commons, elected on the promise to
] make Germany pay the costs of the
I war, was becoming restless at what
' secmed to be concession on Mr. Lloyd
George's part in matters of financial
; interest to England. The statement
1 was frequently made in the British
press and in Parliament that thc Brit
' ish Prime Minister was sacriticing both
? Great Britain and France to American
i policy, and preciaely the same sort of
emotion began to be visible in Paris,
whero the Freneh press more and more
openly protested against seeming deser
tion of them by their British allies.
To this storm Lloyd George bowed.
His next step was characteristic. It
was essential to his own political ex
istence that he should bo able to make
good his promise that Germany would
have to pay the costs of the war. It
was equally essential to Premier Cle
menceau that Germany should pay the
cost to France of the struggle which
had devastated Freneh provinces and
ruined Freneh industries. It was es?
sential for Mr. Wilson that he should
be able to carry back to America a
league of nstiono treaty so amended as
to satlsfy objections made by Repub
lican Menatora and, at least, heeded by
the American public. Above all, it
was essential that he should persuade
his assoclntes in Paris to tonsent to
rnodlfy the covenant of the league of
nations in suoli fashion ?? no* to ex>
eludfl the Monroe Doctrine from Its
operatlon
Thli offarad Lloyd George ? ehanoe
which he did not everlook, of a iud
den, Mr. VVilion was informed that
tlreal Britain found eerloui difTloulttea
in tho way of amonduig the covenant
of the league of nations to conl'orm to
Mr. Wilson'ri own upplicution of Amer?
ican criticism. Keduced to its simplest
terms, tho British Prime Minister
found an unalterable objection in the
way of giving Mr. Wilson what was
neeessary for tho President's purposee
in Amorica whilo Mr. Wilson remaincd
obdurate in the mattcr of concessions
vital aliko to L(oyd George and Clo
menceau in their own conatituencies
A 1a Diaraeli
We have had, then, one of the most
striking and dramatic diplomatic duels
of the Paris conference; It has been
recalled that on an historic occasion
at the Berlin conference, Lord Beacons
flcld ordered a special train to take
him home. sincc English interests were
being compromisod, in his opinion, by
the courso of tho Berlin delegates.
Obviously, Mr. Wilson has taken a leaf
from Disraeli's book, but in this case
he has been confronted by a counter
offensive on the part of Lloyd George.
As it stands at the moment, the result
of this episode would seem to be a
concession on Mr. Wilson's part, in
duced by reluctance on Mr. Lloyd
George's part.

Former Republican Leader
Says Covenant Pledges |

"The very day the league of nations

The former Republican state leader
and Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Ilar
yard Univ?rsjty met in debate on the
league of nations before tho Universitv
Club of Brooklyn.
"It is impossible for the United

There have been serious riots in the

Many policemen have been killed and
several police stattons and postoffices
destroyed,
Tclegraph wires, the statement adds, j
have been cut in various places, and ]

Tho statement continues:
"Tho f'act that the situation has
grown woree may be attributed chiefly j
to the activities of Coreans abroad, j
especially In Vladivostok, who seek to
propagate Bolshevism in Corea and I
thence in Japan."
It is believed here that the disturb- '
ances will be sunoressed rigorously by
the military. Press dispatches say
Japanese troops have fired on mobs in ]
various parts of Corea and killed many j
persons.

T. Ohta, Consul General of Japan
here, commenting on tho situation,
gavo The Associated Press this state?
ment:
"Corean mobs, tasing advantage of
the lenient attitude of the government,
have increased their activities until
they amount to lawless outrages and j
have increased the area of their opcra
tions over the greater part of the pe- j
ninsula. The accounts of the last !
three days show that more than two ;
hundred localities are now affected and
large numbers of innoccnt persons re- !
siding therein are suffering greatly.
"Impelled bv this situation, the Jap?
anese government has now decided to
send to Corea a military contingenr.
consisting of six companies and 400
gendarmes, hoping thereby to rcstore
order and bring back prosperity to the
people as soon as possible."
to do it and when I say 'we' I mean '
the American people as shown by their
own policy during the last thirtv
years."
Mr. Barnes said that for four months
the world had practically been ruled by
four men in Paris, the heads of four
great governments, backed by the ?
greatest military power ever assem
bled. "They are in effeel the execu- ?
tiye council of the proposed league," he
said. "If this great quartet, with
armies mobilized and fleets ready, can
not obtain peace simply and quickly,
how can an executive council, with
armament scattered and without cohe- !
sion, over succeed in preserving the \
peace for which if is to be created?
If this great power has proven inept. '
as it has, whence will come the power !
to prescrve peace or prevent war?"
Mr. Barnes said that proponents of :
the league asked that it be accented on I
faith. "If we are to take the proposal !
on faith as Americans," he continued
"it is natural we should turn to its
chief proponent in America and put to i
the test our experience in his judg
ment. I can recall no instance in inter- '
national mattera where the factB have
worked out in accordance with the
analysis he has advanced. He himself
has statod that because he thought a
thing the American neonle thought that
thing. and therefore he was going to
tcll Europe that America thought aa he
did. It is always a pleasure to agree
with the Chief Executive of the Umted
States. but agreement is dependent on
reason, and I cannot deprive myaelf of
roason because he has taken ? journev
around his mind."
