Washington Dec S-Thc decision reached TO-

the present is not admitted by the advocates OK
ratification to be more than a prudent conces-
sion to the opposition. which in the last ten days
has undoubtedly DEVELOPED strength not CAL
culated upon when Congress adjourned last
July 1t is acknowledged by the friends OF the
treaty that they have not now sufficient num-
ber Of votes to secure ratification. and that the
fate Of the treaty turns on the success or failure
Of the supporters OF the Administrations pohcy
to cor vert 70 the annexationst side some five
or six new doubtful non-committal members
Of the deliberative branch. Under these circum-
stances Senator Davis and his colleagues on the
committee have sensbly determined to feel their
way cautiously. and 1t may be taken as certain
that the consideration Of the treaty now pend
ing will not be vigorously pressed unless It's
friends are definitely assured Of Its ultimate
approval by a two-thirds vote.
n Il shall be discovered that less than two
thirds OF the Senate can be brought to support
the convention. the alternative programme OF
annexation by act Of Congress Will be resorted
TO- Mr.. Morgan introduced Mt the extra session
n bill admitting Hawaii into the Union as a
Territory. and prescribing regulations for lts
government. This measure is now before the
Committee on Foreign Relations. and can be
used as a basis for legislation In the Senate.
Such n bill. OF course. would require for passage
only the usual majority vote. Until the situation
clears up a little further In the Senate. however
no final choice OF programmes VIII be made
1t cannot be sad however. that the treatys
chances OF ratification wear at present very
roseate or fattering hue. An unexpected oo-
stacle to the treaty's success has been the SUD
den development Of n tendency on the Demo-
cratic side to make the acquisition Of Hawaii
party question Unmindfu OF Democratic ira
ditions which have uniformly favored the en-
largcment Of American territory. many South
orn Senators have now declared themselves op-
posed to any further territorial expansion. even
along what may be regarded as wholly natural
lines.
Mr. German and Mr.. Morgan have consistently
stood out against all pressure TO make the hght
against the treaty n political and partisan one
bu: many Democratic Senator's have neverthe-
less been drawn into the opposition by this
mere appeal TO party instincts and prejudices
