PRESIDENT SILENT
ON TREATY PASSAGE
Executive Believes Popular De-
mand for Ratification Will
Come in Few Weeks,

The attitude Of the Administration
today with regard to the peace treaty
is an attitude of "watchful waiting"
Believing that a great popular de-
mand for ratification will come from
the country within n few weeks,
President Wilson is keeping hands
off, the present situation, waiting
for this urge to materialize, according
to numerous indications.
The President refrained from di-
rectiy mentioning the treaty in his
message to Congress, II Is believed.
with the idea that further argument
was useless: that opponents of the
document would be moved only by
the wishes of their constituents.
Need To Become Apparent.
The need for it, friends of the Ad-
ministration predict, VIII steadily be-
come more apparent. They are look
ing for events to convince the people
that the treaty is desirable, and that
no other means of bringing about Of
ficial peace will do.
The Presidents silence, they assert,
does not mean that he has given up
the fight. or that he is any less in
terested in ratification than when he
toured the country appealing for II.
That he is wrapped up in the
treaty" was the expression used BY
one of his advisers in describing tho
situation. He does not admit that his
coast to coast tour was without re-
suits
The President is understood to be-
lieve that he sowed the seeds OF a
great national demand for ratifica-
tion. and that continued delay viii
n q htIp fo
for ratification in the shape Of COM
munications to Senators. The Admin
istration is awaiting the harvest
Friends See Indersement.
Recommendation of Wilson for a
third term by the State convention at
Pierre, s. D., was interpreted by the
Presidents supporters as indorse-
ment of the treaty. and as an answer
to the arguments OF those who claim
the pact is SO dead the Democrats
will not want to exhume IL and make
1t an issue in 1920.
Further Endorsements Of the Ad-
ministration, and Endorsements of
candidates who stand for ratification,
are confidently expected by Wilson's
friends. who construe the South Da-
kota action as a practical ''vote of
confidence" from Democrats of that
State.
Opponents of the treaty openly
scoff at the idea that the nation will
demand ratification. They say that
IL any wave Of popular sentiment for
1t were forthcoming 1t would have
been apparent early in October, just
after Wilson's tour. Many Congress
men returning to Washington after
talking to their constituents, say
there is practically no interest in the
treaty, and that the people are rap
idly forgetting it in devoting their
attention to the coal shortage and
other pressing domestic problems.
