UNITED STATES.
i > THE PEACE TREATY. OBJECTIONS OF SENATE. Received June 20, 1 a.nt New York, June 14. Mr. Lawrence, the New York Evening Post's Washington correspondent, interviewed Senator Lodge, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who said: The treaty does not contain anything of special interest in America, and could be operative without our signature. The Senate objects to the League covenant because it does not sufficiently protect the Monroe doctrine, and because article 10 would involve America in many disputes. The Senate would not hesitate to ratify the treaty if it contained the League covenant. I have been assured by a high European authority that the other European Powers are always readv | to ratify any changes in the treaty whica America might Buggest The Senate will probably ultimately change the treaty by amendment or specific reservation on certain terms.—Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association,
