April 14.—The summary of the amended covenant or the League of Nations evokes no enthusias.m in the London morning newspapers, and some commentators declare it to be. less satisfactory than the first. The Post, which Is an opponent of the League and a sever' critic of President Wilson, refers ironically to the "new Garden of Eden" in which "the Monroe Dostrine will take the place of the tree of good and evil." Referring to the "fruits of the Westsrn Hemisphere being forever forbidden to -ignaUries of the league." Attributing to President Wilson personally the features of tne draft to which it most objects, the news papers say that "posterity will place him with the Metternich and Castle reagh as one who worked for the con fusion of other nations and the great ness of his own." It concludes by de-laring it mon strous that such a covenant could be signed without being first fairly con sidered by the jyublic and parliament.
