Commenting' on the six amendments to the covenant of the league of nations KUKrTonW-d by Kllhu Itoot, It was stated today by one of tho letfal apeclalists aa-8oi aa-8oi laI-fi with the American peace conference confer-ence delegation that he believed all the am end men in were acceptable to the American d elevation.

The delegates are also well impressed by the proposed amendment providing for the revision of the convention within not leas than five years nor more than ten years. NO NEW PROCEDURE INVOLVED IN PROPOSAL. The suHsestlon for the signature of the covenant by tho United States with reservations designed to insure the safety safe-ty of the Monroe doctrine and safeguard American immigration laws, It was pointed point-ed out, involves no new procedure, as the reservation would be somewhat similar simi-lar to those with which the Algeclras treaty was signed. Mr. Root's six proposed amendments to the' covenant were in the hands of the American peace delegation for several days before they were published in the United States. They had been carefully considered by the delegates, who expressed ex-pressed their appreciation of this definite and constructive criticism. Several of the Root suggestions are believed be-lieved by the delegates to be covered by the covenant as it now stands in Its amended form. |
