Submitting d.afta of p-uposcd
an.' ndmrnts and dstailed argument*
in chair behalf, one of Mr. Taft's
m.'isaccr stated
"The Republican Senators ate try
ng to stir up anxiety among Repub
licans teat th .< be a limitation U)ion
the la. iff it would help much to
meet and remove objections and cut
the ground u idrr Senatorial obstruc
tion.”
Regarding the Monroe doctrine
p.otcetlnn, Mr. Taft was quoted as
follows.
President Makes Resaa-valsoa
"My impression is that if the one
article already rant, on the Monroe
doctrine, be inserted in the treaty,
sufficient Republicans who signed th*
round Robin would probably retreat
from their position and vote for inti
Aeation *u that it would carry, if the
other suggeation, were adopted 1 feel
confid. nt that all but a few who op
pose any league at all will be driven
to accept and to stand for the lea
gua.”
Another message by Mr. Taft on
Ma.ch 2X. 1919, upon the same sub
ject said
Venture to suggest to President
that failure to reserve Monroe doc
trine more specifically in fsca of op
position in conference will give great
weight to objection that league as
Amt reported endangers doctrine. It
will seriously embanu* advocates of
league, it will certainly land to Sen
ate amendments embodying doctrlpa

tie'.* Ten vital to acceptance of lea
gue in this country. 1 say this with
full rraliution that complications in
eorfeience are many and not clearly
understood here. A strong and suc
cessful stand now will carry the lea
gue."
Another, on April 13. signed by
Mr. Taft and A. Lawrence Lowell,
reads:
"Friends of the covenant are seri
ously alarmed over report that no
timendment will be made more speci
fically safeguarding Monroe doctrine.
At full meeting of executive commit
tee of League to Enforce Ponce with
thirty members from eighteen Stales

that the league's isnservnlion of do
