LEAGUE PLAN IS
RECONSTRUCTED
Whole Covenant Haa Been Revise*
and Made More Specific—Monroe
Dm-trine Stands—No Equality
for Japs—Bowed to Senate.
Paris, April 12.—An official sura,
man of the revised covenant of thi
League of Nations, issued tonight
make specific mention of the Monrot
Doctrine with respect to its bearing
on the future activities of the league
It says:
"The covenant does not affect th*
validity of international engage
ments, such as treaties of arbitration
or regional undenstan lings like th*
Monroe Doctrine, for securing the
maintenance of peace.”
Provides for Withdrawal.
The league, says the statement,
will include all belligerent and neu
tral states in a document annexed to
the covenant, and "in the future any
self-governing country whose admis
sion is approved by two-thirds of the
states already members of the
league.’
Provided it has kept its obligations,
a state may withdraw from ths
league on giving two years’ notice,
and states which signify their dissent
from amendments approved by a ma
jority of those in the assembly are
not bound by them, but in such case
cease to be members of the league.
Mandatories for the German colo
nies and the territories of the Otto
man empire are provided. These
colonies and territories are to me ad
ministered by states willing to be
mandatories of the league, which will
exercise general supervision.
Contains Twenty-Six Articles.
The official communication on the
work of the League of Nations com
mittee says:
“The appointment of a committee
which should draw up plans of the
league organization was authorized.
“The next text contains twenty-six
articles. The entire document has
been carefully revised from the point
of view of drafting, and it contains,
in addition, its specific statement of a
numoer oi principles nereioiore re
garded by the commission as implicit
as to the covenant.
“Except for the technical task of
bringing the French and English
texts into accord, the covenant is
ready for the plenary conference. It
will, therefore, be made public in the
course of a few days.”
Reject Japanese Equality.
The Letyruo of Nations commission
has rejected the Japanese amendment
On racial equality, according to an
authoritative statement issued to
night.
Some of the members of the com
mission voted against the specific in
clusion of this amendment in the cov
enant and. as unanimous approval of
the commission was necessary, the
amendment, which was strongly
urged by the Japanese delegates,
failed of adoption.
Rowed to the Senate.
Washington, April 12.—The official
summary of the amended covenant of
the League of Nations was received
in Washington tonight too late for
officials and members of Congress to
study it for formal comment. It was
apparent, however, that important
changes in the original document
were designed to meet criticisms
made on the floor of the Senate and
elsewhere by friendly critics as well
as opponents of the league.

BOLSHEVISM
RUMANIA | PERIL
Country in Deeperate Plight and Mili
tary Experts in Paris Urge Send
ing Vorcea to Stop Encroach
ment of Red Terror.
Paris, April 9.—Rumania, outer
bulwark of Europe against the Bol
shevist terror, is in peril. Evacua
tion of Odessa by the Allied troops in
the face of the increased pressure
from Trotzky’s well organized and
well equipped Red Guard has caused
military experts here to again point
out the need of stretching a barrier
across Eastern Europe that will in
[ sure freedom to half-starving Jtu
! mania.
| The chief cause of anxiety in con
nection with the evacuation of Odessa
by the Allies and its occupation by
Bolsheviki. lies in the fact that the
most fertile regions in Southern Rus
sia have fallen into the hands of the
Bolshevist forces, giving them im
[ mense resources of grain, coal and
minerals.
The reasons for the Allies’ retire
ment was the constantly increasing
menace of the Bolshevist soldiers
against the Allied garrison, which
was able to maintain its supplies with
the greatest difficulty. The com
mander, thereupon decided to with
draw his troops, numbering approxi
mately 50,000. The troops reired to
Rumania and Constantinople, i The
situation in Rumania and Poland is
far from reassuring, even with these
additional troops to help form a cor
don against the spread of Bolshevism.
Both Rumanians and Poles require
the largest measure of aid from the
Allies in providing them with, food,
military equipment and organization.
Evacuation Military Necessity.
The feeling in military and strate
; gieal quarters in Paris concerning the
evacuation of Odessa is optimistic.
Commandant Jean Miribel, a military
critic who achieved fame in France by
his intelligent anticipation during the
last stages of the war, said to the cor
respondent this afternoon:
“The Franco-Greek troops, com
manded by General Anhelm, have just
evacuated Odessa. After severe fight
ing during the second half of last
month, the outposts fifty miles east
of Odessa near Kherson and Nikolyev
had to withdraw and the evacuation
of Odessa then became a military
necessity.
Must Meet Reds in Rumania.
"What matters above all is the fate
of Rumania, which is menaced by the
Bolsheviki from the east and the Hun
garians to the west, and attempting
to keep isolated troops in Southern
Russia was a tactical error. Had we
not evacuated Odessa, our stroop
would have been encircled and com
i pelled to surrender.
"It is on Rumanian territory that
1 the Allied troops must be concentrat
i ed. The Polish troops to the north
and center, the Czecho-Slovaks to the
south and the Allied and Rumanian
troops there will be the three barri
ers against which the Bolshevist, push
will be stopped.”
