no doubt the Nicaraguan treaty could

Not more than half a dozen senators
would fight that treaty. Senator Stone
thought. He was not sanguine, how
ever, in regard to the Colombian treaty,
believing that it would be opposed by

only prevent vote. but might be in
receiving the necessary two-thirds vote
for ratification If 1t did come to a vote.
