REPUBLICANS FORCE
PRODUCTION OF PACT
Plans For Wilson's Speaking
Trip Held in Allegiance in
View of Intense Heat and
Business at Washington.

Washington, July 28.-The special
defensive treaty with France. which
republican senator's have declared
President Wilson is withholding
from the senate in violation of its
own terms, probably will be submit
ted for ratification within a few
days.
To a group of democratic senator's
with whim he talked at the capitol
Monday the president indicated that
the treaty, which promises American
aid to France in case of unprovoked
attack from Germany, would be laid
before the senate possibly Tuesday
and certainly before Mr.. Wilson be-
gins his countrywide speaking tour.
1t is said he probably would not pre-
sent it in person, but would send
with it written message urging its
ratification.
The development followed a re-
newal of senate opposition to the
presidents delay and headed off
plan discussed among republican
leaders to drop consideration of the
treaty of Versailles until the French
treaty had been submitted. A pro-
vision of the latter as made public
stipulates that it must be laid before
the senate at the same time,"as the
Versailles treaty, which was submit
ted more than two weeks ago. q
Planned a Recess.
Although it was thought the re-
publican leaders had reached no
final decision it became known that
tentative plans were under way to
suspend committee consideration OF
the Versailles treaty and force a
senate recess if the president left
Washington on his speaking tour, as
White House officials said last week
he would, without sending in the
treaty with France.
Senators who talked with the
president said he volunteered no ex-
planation of his course in the mat
ter. When he presented the Ver-
sailles treaty on July 10, he made
only brief reference to the special
treaty, saying that Its terms link it
with this treaty" and that it would
be reserved for special explanation
on another OCCASION
Says Treatment Unfair.
In renewing in the senate his
charge that the president had violat-
ed the treaty provisions by with
holding it Senator Brandegee, Con-
necticut, a republican member of
the foreign relations committee, said
Mr.. Wilson also had treated the
senate unfairly if the treaties really
were linked" together.
II do not care to take one link"
said Senator Brandegee, "and let
some other gentleman keep the
other link in his pocket if l am ex-
pected to judge how the two are to
fit together"
Mr.. Wilson also discussed other
features of the treaty situation dur
ing his visit to the capitol and init
mated that his speaking trip might
not begin as soon as had been ex-
pected Although it had been indi-
Gated he would start from Washing
ton about August S, he is said to
have told senator's that his plans
were in abeyance, particularly in
view of the intense heat and various
important matters calling for his at
tention here.
