New Covenant of
League Will Be
Taken Up Today
Washington.—The revised covenant of
the league of nations as it will be pre
sented at Paris today, to the peace con
ference in plenary session, was made
public last ni;;ht by the state depart
ment. Its essential features, including
important amendments designed to meet
criticisms in the United States of the
original draft, already had been disclosed
through an official summary issued two
weeks ago when the revision was com
pleted.
Attached to the text, however, is the
hitherto unpublished ••annex” referred to
in the covenant, in which are named the
thirty-one states, including tHe sclf-gov
eriug British dominions which are to be
the • riginal members of the league of
nations, and thirteen nations to be in
vited to accede to the covenant. The
original members are all the nations
which declared war on Germany, and in
addition the new states of Czecho-Slo
vakia and Poland. Those invited to be
come members by acceding to the cove
nant axe the three Scandinavian coun
tries. the Netherlands. Switzerland, Spain
and Persia and the American republics
of Argentina. Chile, Colombia, Paraguay,
Salvador and Venezuela-
Mexico was not represented in the con
ference of neutrals at Paris and. as was
expected, does not appear in the list.
Provision is made in the covenant, how
ever. for the admission to the league of
any fully self-governing country which
will give required guarantees, upon a
two-thirds vote of'the assembly, compos
ed of representatives of the member na
tions.
As in the original document the cove
nant provides that the league shall act
through an assembly, in which each
state shall have one vote and not. more
than three delegates and a council com
prising for the present one representa
tive each of the five great powers and
each of four other powers to be selected
from time to time by the assembly.
Members of each class represented on the
council may be increased by unanimous
consent of the council and a majority of
the assembly.
Publication of the text discloses that
the official quoted verbatim
the new article recognizing the Monroe
doctrine. It provides that nothing in the
covenant shall be deemed “to affect the
validity of international engagements
such as treaties of arbitration or region
al understands like the Monroe doctrine
for securing the maintenance of peace.”
Changes suggested in criticisms in the
United States senate add provisions for
the withdrawal of a member nation upon
two vr>are’ notice after fulfillment of the
league obligations exempt domestic
questions from the league’s jurisdiction,
provide that mandatories over German
colonies on former Ottoman dominions
shall be given only to nations willing to
accept them, leave it to member states to
decide what armed force, if anv, it will
contribute to the force required by the
league to enforce its mandates, and make
it Hear that member states individually
will vass upon prenoaed limitations upon
their armaments.
With modifications the new draft In
cludes all the provisions for the submis
sion to the council of international dis
putes. for inviting non-member nations
to accept the obligations of members for
the i)iiri'o r of adjusting disputes, and
for breaking eeonor V relations or the
use of armed force in dealing with a
state which has broken the covenant and
there!* v committed “an act of war
tgainst the league.”
Pxcept in certain specified instances,
unanimous agreement is required for all
decisions In the provisions for the set
tlement of disnutes. it is set forth that
the votes most be unanimous, excepting
the representatives of the parties to the
dispute.
Geneve Switzerland is named ns the
gent, of the league, where the seeretarv
reneral wilt maintain headouarters and
where the council and assembly will meet
fit stated intervals unless Rome other
pln.ee of meeting is designated.

tween members of the league and dis
pute likely to lead to a rupture which
is not submitted to arbitration as above,
