Wilson Ready
To-Day Treaty
Before Senate
Continued from Page /

sional Record" and as public
document. This will reverse an
other precedent. the practice having
been to consider unratified treaties as
confidential. The Senatc's decision to
print the present treaty, however is
expected to be unanimous, as that
course has been informally agreed upon
by both sides.
The Senate plans to adjourn until
Monday as soon as it has heard the
Presidents address and has referred
the treaty to the committee and
ordered it printed. Several Senators
will be ready to speak on the subject
the first Of the week, however, and the
debate is expected to be virtually con-
tinuous until the ratification vote is
taken, perhaps many weeks hence.
May Present French Pact
Although there has been little dis
cussion regarding the new treaty with
France, by which that nation would be
promised American aid in case of an
unprovoked attack by Germany. the
general expectation is that it also will
be presented by the President to-mor-
row and will take the same course as
the treaty with Germany There has
been a suggestion that the committee
might consider the French treaty first.
but that still is an open question.
oF
fore the Foreign Relations Committee,
Democratic leaders in the Senate and
members Of the committee will have
full opportunity to confer with the
President. He wonld have seen some
OF them to-day but for the fact that
his entire time was occupied with re-
vising and putting the finishing touches
on his address,
According to plans tonight Mr.. Vii
son will confer with many Senators to-
morrow, probably imm ediately after he
leaves the Senate chamber He also
probably will aave opportunity to talk
briefly to some of the committee mem
bers when they go to the White House
in the morning to escort him to the
Capitol. The committee will be re-
ceived by the President at II O'Clock
unless present plans are changed. The
President will net leave for the Capitol
before noon. He is to speak fifteen min
utes later
Record Crowd to Hear Talk
The House will not be in session
while the President is speaking, having
agreed to-day to meet at 2 p. m. so
members can be in the Senate to hear
the Chief Executive. All Washington
seemed to be demanding gallery tickets
to-day, and it appeared that the crowd
in and about the Senate chamber to-
morrow would be one of the greatest
ever assembled there.
The Presidents first day at the White
House since he returned from FraAce
was long and busy one. After sleep
ing late. he went to his desk soon after
o'clock, and, except for brief inter
miss ions for conferences with Secretary
Tumulty, his meals and a short drive
late in the day with Mrs. Wilson, he re-
manned uninterruptedly at work. Bills
carrying with them appropriations of
more than S2,0O0,OOO,OOO were before
him, but he apparently was unable to
find time to consider them.
The President still was working in
his study late tonight, and was said to
be literally elbow deep in papers.
So busy was the President that not a
single caller was received. A number
of Senator'S visited the White House
and talked with Secretary Tumulty So
far as could be ascertaned, the Pres-
dent did not communicate in any way
with members of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
