eavily rnarged w ith claims ami
counter claims hy opponents and ad-
vocates of the league of nations as to
what will be done with the league
covenant when the president brings it
to the senate.
Opponents of tlie league strongly
asserted that they have votes enough
to force the adoption of amendments
or reservations to the covenant. They
claimed 51 votes as certain to be
rciorded for alternations in the docu-
ment. I he league advocates just as vigor-
ously asserted that the republican op-
positinii has gone to pieces and that
the covenant will be adopted without
amendment.
Several of the republican senators
who arc leading the f i k ' ' against the
league hinted broadly of an "e-
plosion that may he looked for with-
in 7 hours" this development con-
cerned which they maintained ex-
traordinary secrecy it is niid "will
settle the faJe of the league."
"When the president gets back to
America he will find the league of
nations flat on its hack and crying
for help" was the statement made hy
one senator Another .suggested that
"the irredurible minimum has been
reathe l and it has at least been as-
certained upon what form of amend-
ment or reservation a maionty of the
senate can be prevailed upon to
agtee.
The question which the leagie op-
ponents are now putting to tho-e who
are inclined to favor it is this:
"If you vote for this league plan
how are von going to explain to the
people two ears from now or at any
tune in the future why you voted to
surrender the independence of sover-
eignty r.f ymir country to foreign
powers?"
