TEXT OF COVENANT. MWashington, April d | | league of mations, as it will be i qent tomorrow to the plenary session of, the peace conference at Pari~. The | text follows, with parenthetical inser- | tons showing changes made in the| ‘covenant as originally drafted and | made public: THE COVENANT OF THE LEAGUER OF NATIONS. JIn order to promote E cooperation and to achieve interna- . tlonal peace and security, by the ac-| ceptance of obligations not to resort! to war, by the prescription of open,! just and_houorable relations hetween | pations, by the firm establishment of | the understandings of international | law a8 to conduct among govern-| ments, and by the maintenance of) justice and a &crunulous respect for! all treaty obligations in the dealings| of ofganized peoples with one another, the high contracting parties agree to this covenant of the ledgue of nations. (In the original preamble the last sentence redd “adopt this constitu- tion"” instead of “agree to this cove- want.) 1 international | Article I. The original members of the leazue of nations shall be those of signater- ies which are named in the annex to| this covenant and also such of those other states named in the annex as =hall acceed without reservation to this covenant. Such accessions shall be effected by a declaration deposited with the secretariat within two months of the coming into force of the covenant. Notice thereof ghall Ue sent to all olher members of the league. Any. fully self-governing state, do- minion or colony not named In the annex, may become a member of the ‘league if its admission is agreed by two-thirds of the assembly, provided that it ehall give effective guarantees of its Sincere fhtention to observe its international 6bligations, and shall accept such regulations as may be prescribed by the league in regard to its military and naval forces and ar- maments. Any member of the ‘league, ma ter two years' notice of its inte s0 to do, withdraw from the league, provided that all its international ob- ligations and all its obligations unde: this covenant shall have been fulfilled at the time of its withdrawal. k (This article is new, embodying ‘with alterations and additions the old ar-| tcle seven. It provides more specifi- cally the method of admitting new members and adds the entirely new| paragraph providing for withdrawal from the league. No mention of with. drawal was made in the original doc- ument.)
