T L British Press Declares Amended Document Worse Than First Draft Wilson Accused of Workina for Advantage or Own Country an-1 Aaainst Welfare of Others. - LONDON. April 14. The summary of the amended ' covenant of the Lencuc of Nntions evokes no en thusiasm' in the.. London Morning newspapers nnd' it is declared by some commentators to be less satis factory than the first draft. U he Chronicle, for instance, points out certain points which it thinks niaKc the new draft "distinctly and per haps decisively inferior Xa the old." The newspaper condemns the' pol icy of requiring unanimity for the doeisions'of both the council and as sembly nnd also condemns the terms upon which the Jfovbnnnt muv be amended nnd permission given any nar tion to withdraw on two venrs no tice. It reenrds the covenant ns un- harmed bv the Monroe doctrine amendment, which it believes should facilitate. the adhesion of the United Stales to tho covenant. 'A Few to Control . The Daily News, which is a warm champion of the principle of" the lencuc. objects to the constitution of tho new council which it says "trill manifestly be controlled by perma nent representatives of the five cre'at powers when thev are in agree mcnt," and it fails to see how -the four representatives of other pow ers chosen for ' the assembly can have much independence. J Tho newspaper ' does not express any crent confidence in the effacv of the league in any ease. Tho labor newspaper, the -Daily Herald, says' the summary docs not indicate much improvement, on the original draft. It declares that from a democratic viewpoint, the "leamic is still an nllinnco of states mid not a union of peoples, . Tonus Wilson a Metternich The Post, which is nn opponent of tho league and a severe critic of Fresidont Wilson, refors to the -"new Garden of Eden" m which tho "Mon roe doctrine will take tho place of tho trco of knowledge of cood nnd evil, referrinir to tho "fruits of the west ern hemisphere being forever for bidden to signatories of tho leaeue." Attributing to ' President Wilson personally tho features of tlfo draft to which it most objects,' the news paper says that "posterity will place him with Mutternicn ami uastioreagn ns ono who worked for the .confu sion of other nations mid the eroat ncss of his own."

NEWCOVENAN RAISES HOW ENGLAND ; ; T jni uuLunuii MAY COME UP NA Both Japanese . and French Peace Commisiscners Reserve Riant to Renew discussions German Dele qates Discussion Limited to Period of Two Weeks. PARIS. April 14. The status of the American, Japanese and French amendments to tbe covenant of tbe League of Nations has been definitely established so far aa the League, of Nations commission la concerned, with the American amendment con cerning the Monroe doctrine the only one to be given a place in tbe coven ant by the commission. The French and Japanese, however, have both made reservations which entitle them to renew, at a plenary session of the peace conference, the -questions In volved In the amendments so that the final decision Is still open. ' As to the affairs of the peace con ference as a whole, they are shaping themselves now with the League of Nations question and nearly all the main points In the peace treaty are virtually disposed of, so that tbe date when tbe enemy delegates shall be summoned to Versailles has - been tentatively set. The summoning of the peace congress as It will be called Instead of peace "conference'! after the enemy delegates are admitted. will according to tbe present under standing occur between April 26 and May 5. and It la considered not Im probable that a definite date may be announced by Premier Lloyd. George when he speaks before the British bouse of commons tbe coming Wed nesday. Germans Can Talk Indications are that the Germans will be given opportunity to discuss the peace terms before the congress, but that no extended discussion will be permitted, two weeks being sug gested as the outside limit for the sessions to be held at Versailles. These sessions, It Is expected now. will be attended by President -Wilson who Is said by those close to him to feel that the progress made toward concluding the peace is auch that he will be able to' .remain for the Ver sailles meeting. . Tbe chief question as regards the peace terms remaining to be settled. now that the Saar valley and repara tions problems have been disposed of in virtually all their details, is that of the Rhine frontier. The countil of four is likely mainly to occupy It self with the question during the present week, the debate probably centering upon the French contention for aecur'ty from a military stand point the French attitude being indi cated as. a determined one on this point. . ' Against Monroe Doctrine it is understood also to have been largely France's fears from a mili tary standpoint of what might hap pen should there be another German attack that Influenced her represen tatives in their sustained opposition to the 'Monroe doctrine amendment to the League of LNntions covenant. Their argument was that If the Mon roe doctrine principle were given a European application the effect might be that the United States might be kept from - again coming to France's help In the event of a future German ebullition. .
