A general opinion against the revision of the League of Nations Covenant was expressed by the speakers at the Foreign Policy Association meeting at the Copley Plaza Hotel on Saturday. Among those giving their opinion on a revision to include Germany, Japan, the Soviet Union, and the United States, were Manley O. Hudson, Bemis Professor of International Law, and William P. Maddox, instructor in Government.
"I believe that the League," stated Professor Hudson, "has been of great use during the years since the war in spite and the criticism which it has received. It would be impossible to change the covenant of the League at this time as there would be no country in the world which would be willing to vote for any new covenant. The League was decided upon in 1919 when the world was in a position to need and to be willing to vote for a common council of nations. Now any new league could not possibly be set up with any unanimity."
Mr. Maddox said that the Covenant is flexible and that the necessary changes can be brought about within its framework.
