Recent Advance in Flour Prices
Held Not Warranted.
NEW YORK. April ?. Commenting
on his notice that government pur
chases of "jvhfte flour for export

stopping speculation," Julius H. Barnes,
federal wheat director, announced

tendency threatened, unless checked,
to carry flour prices above their proper
reflection of the federal resale price of

LONDON. April 29. While on the

nowhere is any condemnation of its

The Daily Chronicle criticises what
it considers the weakness of the amend
ments, of which it says:
"MoFt of them have been Inserted to
win ovr reluctant opposition in
America." '
"We need not seriously criticise the

continues. "The rejection of the Jap

the Monroe doctrine is especially inviolate."
The Morn In it Tost describes the

felicitations which the peace conference
bestowed on I 'resident W ilson on the

of the original league scheme seem to

senators to withhold discussion of the

Senator MeJiary for League.
"In m opinion." he said, "the cove
nant has been amended to meet all the
legitimate objections raised against it.
Whether It is perfect in all its details
or not is insignificant as compared
with the high principle it is calculated

SALT LAKE CITT7 Utah, April 29.
United States Senator Reed Smoot, in
a signed statement on the revised cove
nant of the league of nations, today
declared himself pleased with most of
the amendments as adopted, but ex
pressed the hope that article 10 may
still be amended. The statement says:
"Most of the amendments to the
league covenant demanded by leading
republicans of the country have been
adopted by the peace conference, but
if press reports are correct article 10
is still unamended and guarantees all
rations entering the league their po
litical independence and territorial In
tegrity. This is a very dangerous pro
vision and 1 express tho hope it may
yet be amended at the conference.

"Article 22 Is ame.tded with the In
tention of safeguarding the Monroe
doctrine, but-lt is doubtful if the word

complish It. This article should be
clarified."

Utah, in a statement today, said the

WASHINGTON. April ?!. Telegrams
were sent to all republican senators
today by Senator Lodge of Massachu
setts, floor leader, and Senator Curtis
or Kansas, whip, asking that public
exprc.'Sions of opinion upon the league
of nations covenant be withheld until
a republican conference could decide
on what attitude should be adopted
The message follows:
"Wc suggest that republican sena
tors reerve final expressions of opin
ion respecting the amended league cov
enant until the latest draft has been
carefully studied and until there has
been an opportunity for conference.
Conference Date ot Fixed.
It was understood that no date has
been fixed for the conference.
Senator Lodge and other republican
leaders, it was stated, have no inten
tion of summoning republican senators
to Washington immediately. The re
publicans will be urged to give the re
vised draft of the covenant careful
study preparatory to a conference
few days before the senate meets. It
was considered probable that various
senators now here would hold informal
conferences meanwhile with the Massa
chusetts senator.
