The text of tho proposed amendment to the league of nations covenant suggested by former President' Taft, which was considered by President Wilson and tho allied premiers in Paris yesterday, was Bent from tlie ! White House less than a week ago, after Mr. Taft had been assured by Secretary Tumulty that any suggestion from him would be welcomed by the president. This became known today at tho White House. Several suggestions were made by Mr. Taft, the principal one dealing with the Monroe doctrine. This was stated officially, of-ficially, but White House officials declined to give out the text of the communication. , The former president talked over the telephone with Mr. Tumulty last week and made known his desire to make some suggestions if they would be welcome in Paris. When Mr. Tumulty told him President Presi-dent Wilson would be glad to receive them, the proposals were forwarded to the Wh'ite House.
