LEAGUE COVENANT.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT. ENDORSED BY BRITISH CABINET. CALCULATED TO PROMOTE PEACE. (Official Wireless.) (Received May 22, 11.45 a.m.) RUGBY, May 21. Replying to Sir Austen Chamberlain in the House of Commons the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Righ Hon. A. Henderson) said the Government thought it desirable that the Covenant of the League of Nations should be amended so as to bring it into harmony with the pact of Paris. The Government were of opinion, generally speaking, that the proposals of the league committee on this matter were satisfactory, but they reserved the right of making suggestions for modifying details. It was a matter for debate whether the obligations of> the Government would be extended by the amendments. There might be small technical extension, but he thought the amendments as a whole had the effect of making more remote the possibility of conflict.
