WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Every In
dication pointed this afternoon to a
two or three day delay Of senate
vote on the Hitchcock resolution en-
dorsing the presidents note to bel
lIgerents. This would mean the SEN
ate would not act until the allied
reply to the note reaches the presi-
dent.
Immediately following introduction
OF two amendments by republican SEN
ators, minority meeting was sud
denly called.
At this session q committee was
appointed to draw up sub-resolution
and report to minority leaders not
later than three o'clock this after
noon. Senators Gallinger, Watson.
Nelson, Lippett and Gronna were ap-
pointed to prepare the sub-resolution.
Senator Works ended his long dis
tance speech at las p. m. and then
sGena1us HltChcock.a mQtion for fur
thor consideration 0f his resolution
was automatically up.
Virtually the whole senate had dis
appeared during Works talk SO q
quorum call was used to round up
members.
Senator Smoot. following the minor
tty conference, stated that the only
feature OF the entire mote trans
&C ton" they could endorse was the
expression of desire by the presi.
dent for peace.
The Norris and Jones amendments
offered this y. orning endorse the
asking for peace terms"
The Jones amendment reads:
Resolved that the senate approves
and strongly endorses the request by
the president in the diplomatic notes
OF December 18 to the nations now
engaged in war that the nations state
the terms upon which peace might
be discussed"
The Norris amendment reads:
Resolved that the senate approves
and strongly endorses the action
taken by the president In sending the
diplomatic notes of December 1S to
the nations now engaged in war, In
so-far that such notes recommend
that the nations state the terms upon
which peace might be discussed"
Senator Lewis got the floor. An.
swering claims by Senator Lodge that
such a resolution as Hitchcock's was
unprecedented in legislative annals,
Lewis cited, precedents to disprove
the Lodge statement.
