Washington, June 27. The Ilepubll
can party is not opposed to the league of
nations. Will Hays, chairman of the
Ilepuhlican national committee, declared
after a long isit to the Capitol yester
day, where he conferred with Ilepuhli
can senators in an effort to unite them
on a elefinite program in regard to the
league
I It Is Important that the American
'people should not get the iden the He
i publican part' is opposing the league of
I nations," said Mr IH.is "We are
I doing nothing of the sort. We are merejj
i seeking a basis for united ntnl eontrur
1 tic action with respect to certain
( amendments or reservations such as
1 thpse proposed In Mr. Hoot which
would, in our judgment, make the league
le-ovennnt more acceptable to the Senate
I and to the country."
The league should not be made a par
tisan issue. Mr. Hiis declared, but he
reiterated his former declarations that
i the covenant should be nmcnilcd before
j it is finally ratified.
Further Changes Necessary
"We opposed certain provisions of
the lencue eocnant as it was originally
i drawn" he continued "with the re
sult that it was materially dunged I
il.elice that further amendments to !''
modified covenant are neccsnrv. Some
of the amendments suggested wouin nir
ther strengthen the covenant and further
safeguard the interest of the American
people, which is our sole purpose in nd
voeatiug any amendments or reserva
tions. "I regard as extremely deirable the
ratification of the treaty as quickly as
poilile. so peace may be established

Highly Important domestic .-ict'"-s
are e rying for solution. The Republi
can Congress hns nliendy accomplished
much toward tint end and the American
people are reljltig upon the llcpublicin
partv to successfully mret those ques
tions." Mr. Ilavs went to the Capitol at the
request of Senator Lodge, of Massachu
setts, leader of tlio Republicans In the
(?... .....1 .1.. .nA.w ntfe a? IK.
I i.rnuie, Mini mini ,iiin,iii 1113 111 iiir
I league of nations, who asked him to
use his Influence to repair the breaking
Republican mncbine.
Opposition Much Stronger
The league opponents in the Senate
eleclnred after his visit that Mr. Hays
bad greatly bolstered up the opposition
to the covenant.
"The opposition to the league Is much
stronger now." wns the comment of
Senator Knox on the chairman's visit.
Mr Havs first conferred with Sena
tors Lodge and Knn. the leaders of
the Republican opposition, when he ar
rived at the Capitol. At the i'oiicIiikIoii
ot the conference none of the partici
pants in the conference would discuss
what transpired. He later talked with
most of the other Republican senators,
Including Senators MoNar. of Oregon;
Norrls, of Nebraska, and Colt, of Rhode
Island, who have been reported as wav
ering in their opposition to the league.
Senator McNary Inter announced he
is for the league as it stands and thnt
he will deliver a speech in favor of the
covenant in the Senate within a few
dajs
Senator Norris. who had been counted
upon bv the administration forces as
favoring the league, declared he is unalterable-
opposed to the entire trentv,
and that he intends to vote against it.
especially bcause of the Shantung pro
vision Senator Colt would not discuss
his talk with the national chairman.
To Issue Statement on Attitude
Senator Watson, of Indiana, who hns
been urging the Republicans to mnke a
partisan is-sue of the league, after he
had talked with Mr. Hays, baid :
"I quite agree with everything 3r.
Hays has said. I do not believe the
league should b made an issue by the
Republican party and I agree with him
that amendments nre needed to safe
guard the interests of the United
States."
Mr. If-", said last night he expects to
issue a fotmal statement, within n few
dnv in which he will outline the at
titude of the Senate and of the Re
publican party management iu regard to
the league.
He did not talk with Senator Hornh.
of Idaho, who has declared repeatedly
he will organize a new political party
to light the leiguc if the Republican
party does not make oppi ltiou to the
covenant a party matter.
