The race will be based on national,
instead OF State, issues. Former Gov

DRAFT TREATIES
i DELAYED ON HILL
. TO MAKE CHANGES

Treaties providing for the drafting
of subjects OF Great Britain in the
United States and subjects of the
United States in Great Britain are be
ing delayed today by the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations.
The Senate committee has insisted
that there must be certain changesin
the phraseoIogy Of the treaties before
they are sent to the Senate for final
approval. Today is the regular meet
ing day of the committee, but there
has been no call Issued and no meet
ing will be held until the State De
partment has considered the changes
requested by the committee. IT is un
derstood that Secretary of state
Lansing and Lord Reading, the Brit
ish ambassador, are to go through
the treaties and arrange for the
changes desired by the Senate com
mittee. Senator Stone, chairman OF
the committee, has indicated that the
changes desired do not make any
changes in the intent or policy or the
treaties, but that they are merely for
the sake Of absolute clarity.
When the revised forms OF the
treaties are submitted to the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations there
is no doubt but what they will be
speedily ratified. There Is no oppoGi-
tion in the committee to the intent of
the treaties and no opposition has
been received on the floor. Scatter
ing protests have been received by
members Of the Senate, but these are
of such a character that the commit
tee cannot give them serious con-
sideration in view OF the great de-
sire for the ends which the treaties
will reach.
Notice has been sent to Congress |
that treaties OF a similar character |
