A proposal to safeguard the Monroe

Inserting In the covenant a clause recog
nizing the "International Union of
American Republics" has been made to
the American delegation at the Peace
Conference. John Barrett, director gen

ago and credited with preventing "8ev.

might well bear to the league a relation
similar to that of a state legislature to
Congress., and be entrusted to "care
