1T has been made plain by Presi-
dent Wilson that he will take no fur
ther steps in the way of urging the
United States Senate to ratify the
treaty of peace and the league of ma
tons. The Republican majority in
the Senate, blindly following the mar
row partisan leadership of Senator
Lodge, killed both measures for the
express purpose of embarrassing and
humihating the President. They have
met with the fate of those who dig
pits for others, and, they are now
making strenuous efforts to get them
selves out of the hole. The President
will give them no assistance, but
plainly tells them that he is quite will
ing for them to have the full re-
sponsibility for killing these measures
of world Importance.
He can scarcely be blamed for
wishing to have no further dealings
with these conspirators against the
peace Of the world.

SENATE GETS TREATY
Franco-American Pact Submitted
by President Wilson.
Start Of Chief Executives Speaking
Tour Is Delayed by the
Excessive Heat.

Washington, July 30.-President Will
son submitted to the senate the text OF
the Franco Br1tish-AmeEcan pact, and
in an accompanying message urged its
early ratification for the reason that
...Amerloas debt to France has not yet
been fully repaid"
Referring to the assistance rendered
Americanby France in the days of the
Revolution, the president declared
that nothing can repay such debt"
ut is one Of the fine reversals Of his
tory" he added, ''that the other nation
should be the very power from whom
France fought to set us free"
In submitting the pact the president
explained that its object is to provide
for Immediate military assistance to
France by the United States In case OF
any unDrOvoked movement Of aggres-
sion against her by Germany, without
waiting for the advice Of the council
of the League Of Nations that such
action be taken. 1t Is to be On ar
rangement, not independent Of the
League of nations, but under 1t"
The president may not leave Wash.
ingten on HIS tour Of the country until
August Is, owing to the excessive
heat. He will confer with Secretary
Daniels concerning the ACCESSIBILITY Of
having the Pacific fleet await his ar.
rival before entering San Francisco
harbor. =
1t was said at the White House that
the president did not desire to keep
the fleet waiting for him If that could
be avoided. He had planned to leave
Washington Sunday, but because OF
the heat wave sweeping the country
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, his
personal physician. and Secretary
Tumulty, suggested that he postpone
his departure.
Secretary Tumulty said the trip
would be made even should the senate
ratify the treaty in the meantime,
adding that the president wanted ITO
go to the country and explain things
Before leaving the capital. the presi-
dent will clear up all pressing bust
ness. In this connection, Mr.. Tumulty
said the president still had to assemble
many documents in connection with
the peace negotiations which the SEN
ate foreign relations committee has
asked him to submit.
