THE DUN V*L « , PRESIDENT WILSON EXPL JNS LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT Document Designed As Cure For Wars in the Fu ture Adopted At Plenary Session After'the President’s Speech—Most of Changes From Original Draft “Mere Changes of Phraseology Intended to Clarify the Document.” I’eris, April !W.—Following u tho U>t of President Wilson'* speech be fore tb« planary union of Ufa peace i .inference today: '“Mr President: When the text of Ihe covenant of the league of nation* '.as last laid before you i had thr honor of reading the cuvenanl in sx i melon I will not detain you today l» read Ihe covenant as it has now .lc«n altered, but will merely taks the l Oortv of explaining to you some of lltc alterations that bavo been made "The report of the committee has Ljcn circulated. You yourselves hare .11 liaml tha laxt of tha covenant, and \.ill no doubt have noticed that most • : the changes that have been made t.e mere chancre of phrassology, no i.tangea of aubstanoe, and that, be t.dee, that, most of tha changes are in tended to clarify the document or, '■ .ther to make explicit what we all I'tee assumed was implicit In the doc t.nsnt as it was originally presented lu you. But I shall take the liberty rf calling your attention to the new f.stores such as they are. Some of Uiera arc considerable, the rest trivial. “The first paragraph at article 1, is it*. In view of tho inasrtion of the covenant in the peace treaty, specific provision as to the signatories of the treaty, who would become members of the league and also as to noutrel states U. be incited to'accede to the cova lent, were obviously necessary. Tbe paragraph also provides (or the meth od by which a neutrel stale may uc erd* to the covenant. "The third paragraph of articj* 1 is r.ew. providing (or Use withdrawal of any member of the league on a notice given of two years. “Tha second paragraph of article 4 Is new, providing for a possible In crease Afi the council, should other powers be added to tho league of no 1, one whose present screed on is not anticipated. “The two last paragraphs of article 4 are naw, providing pacifically (or \ one vote for each member of tho lea gee in tbe council, which was under stood before and providing also for one representative of each, member »iueu ww »v nm men iur fnimva. "Tbe eecond paragraph of article B. ku had added to it that a majority of the assembly mue^Approve tho ap pointment of the sMtmpry general. "The firtt pm regraph of Article 7. names Geneva aa the seat of the lea gue and u followed by a ascend para graph which gives the council power to establish the seat of the league elsewhere, should It subsequently deem it necessary. "The third paragraph of article 7 is new, establishing equality of «m Coyaent of men and woman, that ia 'aajr. by the league. "The eecond paragraph of article 13 ia new, inasmuch as It undertakes to give instances of disputes which are generally suitable for submission to arbitration, inrtsnco* of what have Utterly been called ‘justifiable’ ques tions. "The eighth paragraph of article lb U new. This is the amendment regarding domestic jurisdiction, that where the council finds that s question arising out of an International dispute affects matters which are clearly un der the domestic jurisdiction of one or tho other parties It ia to report U Inst effect end make no recommenda tion. "The last paragraph of article It 1- new, providing for an expulsion from tho league In certain extraor d.unry circumstances. "Article 21 is new. "The eecond paragraph of article tl Inyerts the words with regard tc mandatories, and who are willing tc accept it,’ thie explicitly introducing tiie principle that a mandate can not ' bo forced upen a nation unwilling b> accept K. “Article 23 Is a combination of eev » el former articles and also- contain! ti.o following: "A clause providing for Abe just t. .alment of aborigines, a clause look lug toward a prevention of the whits a:^va traffic and tho traffic of -opt me, end a clause looking toward pro g cm in International prevention an< control of dineaao. "Article 25 specifically mention tiie Red Crom as ong of the Interna ti -nei organisations which are to ood n-et their work with the werk of thi lean*. ‘‘Article 2fl permit* the amendmani o', the covenant by • majority of thi st.'tc* composing the assembly, iaataai 01 three-fourths of th* states, thong! it does not change the requirement ii tli it matter with regard to the vote It th* council. "The second paragraph of article ti is also new. and was added at Uii rtqnect of the Brasilian delsgsttoi In order to avoid certain constitution al difficult!** It permit* any membe of the league to dissent from an a m> ndmont. the effect of aueh dlseen be ng withdrawal from the league." "And the anna* I* added giving th name* of the signatories of tao treaty who become members, and th# name of the atatae Invited to accede to th eovmmnt. These are all lHe ehangrn 1 b^p*, which are of moment "Ur Preeldent: I take the oppor tonlty to mova lb* following resolo tion* la order to carry eat the provii Ions of the covenant Yon will notk that th* covenant provides that th Wet secretary-general shall b* chose by this eonference. It ale* provide that the Ant rhoko of the fear mess her state* who are to b* added t tho Bv# great powers on the coon* •la left to this eonference. “1 *»«»•. therefore, that th* An secretory general of the oounetl ska bo tho Honorable Sir James Eric Drummond, and, second, that until such time as the assembly shall have selected ' the first four members of tho league to ba represented on the council In accordance with article 4 of the covenant, representatives of Belgium, Brasil. Greece and Spain •hall be members; and, third, that the powers to be represented on the council of the league of naUoni or* rri|<iired to name representatives who shall form a committee of nine to prepare plana for tho organisation of ths league and for tha eatablieh ment of the aaat of tha Unfit* “nd to make arrangements and to prepare Ibv agendo for the first mooting of y>o assembly, this comndtaa to re port both to the council, and to the naeembly of the league “I think H not nscasaary to call rour attention to other matters wa •v.P previously discussed—tha capi tal significance of this covenant; toe hopes wh ch ur» entertained aa to 'he effect it will have upon steadying the affair* of the world should bo u concert of the free nations of the world to maintain Justice in interna tionaJ1 relating», tha relatione between people and between the nations of the “If Baron MaUno will pardon me far introducing a matter which 1 ab sent-mindedly overlooked, it la necee very for me to propoee the elteration of levels I words in the first 11m of article i> Let me say that in sev eral parte of the treaty, of which this covenant will form a part certain duties are assigned to the council of Ui“ league of nations. In some in stsuce-i i*. i* provided that the action thc.v shall take shall be by a auejortty vole. It is, therefore, neceeaary to c.s ,e the covemnt conform with the othvr portions of the treaty by adding sheer words. I will read the first Una and add the words: “ ‘Except where etherwW sxprsea ly provided in this covsaaat ar by tba rum of thil treaty, decisions at any meeting of the aaaeaibly or of tha coancll shall require the agreement of £JZiZrZJlg ‘r»“ “ T crept where otherwise rxersas +&&*»&*#&**** -■on 'or by tha terms of this treaty.' With that addition, I move the adop tion oi the covenant.” In running away from the truth t*ver justifiable? ‘Tbs Spreading Evil" answers the question.
