Objections Met
"Moicovcr, it is nsscfted (lint the
changes in the covenant meet (he (di
rections herctofoie. expiessed by both
of the Senators from I'tali. Senator
King, who was opposed to the original
draft, in nil interview in Salt Lake a
few dajs ago expressed his belief that
the Senate would ratify the peace
treaty, including tho league of nations.
"Senator New, of Indiana, expiessed
his conviction thut the United States
should keep out of nny league of na
tions nnd thut he docs not believe the
people of Indiana taor the league. 'Hut
this does not nieim thnt I will not vote
for ratification,' ho said. 'I have only
read tho covenunt once, and I have not
beard nil of the explanations nor the
arguments for it.'
Attitude of Lodge
"Perhaps Senutor New could be list
ed us 'undecided,' but his opinion is
expiessed so strongly that it bcems
fairest to put him in the 'against' eol
itnD, for the time being, at least. Some
of Senator Lodge's fiiends nssert that
the chaugos in tiic covenant will meet
his objections. Senator Lodge most
vigorously urged them. And he has
not, to date, declared that he will op
pose ratification. However, it also scenu
onlj fair to list him as against the
covenant in endenvoring to figure out
the array of proponents and opponents.
"Senator Sterling, of South Dakota,
ono of tho signers of the so-called
'round lobin,' has not expressed liim
elf in favor of the new covenant, but
with the strong favor of the league of
nations that has developed In Soutli
Dakota it is assumed thut he will 10
epond to the will of his constituents.

not entirely ngree with his colleague.
