New Arrangement mt Necessary If US. Is to Have Commercial Relations With Gen. tral Powers
OTHER COUNTRIES
 TIRED OF DELAYS
Senator Knox Maintains America Can Send Con- sul Representatives Into German Territory.

Washington, Nov. 20.--Although not changing technically the existing status of relations between the United States and Germany, the senate's fail ure to ratify the peace treaty at its special session is expected by admin istration officials and diplomats to have an indirect result of some im- portance on the steps now being taken to restore the world to peace basis
 One of the first, consequences, ac- cording to tho view taken here, is lil1e- ly to be the hastening of tho negotia 4 lions in Paris Including. promulgation of "'f'ho process verbal, which will re- store full commercial and diplomatic relations between Germany and the powers which have ratified the treaty. Paris dispatches have said this step was waiting, for one thing, on the ac- tion of the senate, but it is thought there will be no further delay there for that reason.
 January Earliest Date.
 The new congress will meet on De- cember 1 but not even the most ar- dent supporters of the treaty believe it would be possible to take it up again at the outset of the session. Tho Christmas recess was expected to in- tervene before much could be accom- plished, with the result that a clear field for treaty consideration would not be opened before January at the earliest.
 Once the other great powers have gone ahead with their esta bishment of full trade and diplomatic relations with Germany, officials say, new ar engagements will have to be made by the United States to fit into the com- mercial scheme thus created whatever trade the United States has with the Central powers.
 ConsuIS to Germany.
 The state departm is emphatic in it's stand that no American consuls can be sent into Germany until peace has been definitely established be- tween the United States and that coun- try, and they declare only an imperfect trade relation can be built up without the consular officers who are in charge of the legal end of international trade.
 A contrary view is held, however, by some of the senators who oppose ratification of the treaty. Notable in that connection is the stand taken by Senator Knox, republican, Pennsylva- nia former secretary of state who holds by the language of the treaty full commercial and diplomatic inter- course can be resumed with Germany by all of her late enemies as soon as the process verbal is exchanged.
