League Covenant
Now Included in
Treaty of Peace
Paris Counci! Adopts Plan Without Dissenting Note at Plenary
Session Monday Afternoon —Engiishman Named by Wilson
as Secretary-General of Organization.
Paris.—The covenant of the league of
nations in revised form, moved by Presi
dent Wilson, was adopted late yesterday
by the peace conference in plenary ses
sion without a dissenting vote.
The President’s motion also named Sir
C olden j sKodd ir
-7 Cwg all pull together.
James Eric Drummond as secretary-sen*
oral of the league and provided for a com
mitted to inaugurate the league.
Thus one of the notable works of the
conference passes its final stage and is
incorporated in the peace treaty.
The French and’Japanese amendments,
after a brief discussion, were not pressed,
and the way was thus cleared for unani
mous acceptance of the league.
Italy was not represented at the ses
sion. but the name of Italy appears as
one of the members of the league In the
covenant as finally adopted.
Nine labur principles were adopted for
insertion in the treaty.
The session adjourned without con
sidering the report on responsibilities
providing for the trial of the former
German emperor by five judges from the
great powers. This report was handed
in by the council of four and embodies
in the peace treaty a provision for the
former emperor’s prosecution. This, how*
ever, has not as yet beeu adopted by the
plenary conference.
The plenary session of the peace con
ference opened at 3 o’clock yesterday af
ternoon in the French foreign office un
der circumstances of unusual interest be
cause of the fact that, it was to be one
of the last sessions before the meeting
with the German delegates at Versailles;
that lttial action was to be taken on some
of the main features of the peace treaty,
notably the league of nations, responsi
bility for the war and the trial of the
former German emperor and others, and
because important labor clauses were to
be inserted in the treaty.
For the first time at the conference
sessions, Italy was not represented and
the five seats of Premier Orlando and
lus colleagues at the right of M. Cle
menceau, the presiding officer, remained
vacant. The other delegates presented
full ranks and the scene was stirring as
the French premier opened the session.
| President W ilson was recognized at the
outset for a detailed explanation of the
new covenant of the league. His speech
was without oratorical effect and con
firmed the explanation of the textual
changes, most of which have already
been noted, and named Belgium, Brazil,
Greece and Spain on the league council,
and also on (he committee to prepare
plans for the first meeting of the league.
Baron Makino, head of the Japanese
delegation, in a brief speech called re
newed attention to the Japanese amend
ment on racial equality. He said that
the race question was a standing griev
ance, which might become a dangerous
issue at any time. The Japanese gov
ernment and people. Baron Makino "de
clared. felt poignant regret that the
amendment had not been incorporated in
the covenant, and announced that an
effort would be made to have the prin
ciple of racial equality adopted as part
of the document.
Paul Hymans, representing Belgium,
expressed the regret of the Belgian peo
ple at the selection of Geneva as the
sat of the league, while approving ihe
high aims of the league.
The amendments of M. Bourgeois, rep
resenting France, were not pressed. M.
(Temenceau then put the question of the
adoption of President Wilson’s motion,
which prevailed without a formal vote.
The covenant was declared adopted and
the session proceeded to the labor report,
reciting nine principles for inclusion in
the treaty, which were also accepted.
After setting aside the report on war
responsibilities for later consideration,
the session adjourned.
George Ntcoll Barnes. British delegate,
explained the nine points which the labor
commission wished embodied in the. peace
treaty. Sir Robert U. Borden, the Can
adian premier, then read the revised nine
points.
The revised clauses say that thd stand
ard set by law regarding conditions of
labor should have due regard for the

equitable and economic treatment of all
workers lawfully resident In a country
and also that a 48-hour week should be
aimed at. The commission had asked for
this, except where climatic conditions
interfered.
Sir llobert Borden said that the changes
in the phraseology were the result of
suggestions by different detentions and
they had been accepted oy all the great
industrial nations.
M. Clemenceau. the president, declared
the revised nine points carried
President Wilson, in his speech explain
ing the revised covenant of the league
of nations, said that Sir Eric Drummond
of Ureat Britain had been named as tile
