President May Abandon
Plan to Tour Country

toward the treaty although admin
istration supporters are still conf
dent that results will be to the
treaty's benefit.
The senate foreign relations com
mittee has decided to proceed with
the hearings that will delay the
treaty, despite Wilson's declaration
that the country cannot get back to
normal before the pact is ratified
This argument-that normal condi-
tions and lower prices await peace
is regarded as the one the president
is most likely to place stress upon, if
he makes his proposed tour.
