HE LEAGUE OPPONENTS
POSTPONE THEIR FIGHT
abandon Plan To Try for Test Vote
on Knox Resolution Any
Time Soon.

Washington, June 26.-Senate
leaders opposing the league of ma
tions have abandoned their plan to
try for a test vote in the immediate
future on the Knox resolution, and
turned their attention TO crystalliz-
Ing sentiment behind Elihu Root's S
proposal that the league covenant be
ratified with reservations.
The decision was taken as a fore
cast that the league fight would re-
main in a quiescent state during the
coming week and probably until the
treaty is submitted for ratification,
about two weeks hence. There may
be some debate on the subject and
pOssibly an attempt to get action on
Il substitute for the Knox measure,
but In the main the opposition efforts
seem certain from now on to center
on the final ratification fight itself.
Republican Leader Lodge. in
statement announcing that the Knox
resolution would not be called up
said the decision had been prompted
by a desire to give undivided SEN
ate attention to pressing appropria-
tion bills. Other league opponents
are known to feel also that action
nov would be inappropriate, since
the resolution, introduced two weeks
ago by Senator Knox, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, was designed prnci-
n icin -, III "a
peace treaty by which the senate
could ratify the document and still
reserve Judgment on the league.
Il am very strongly in favor of
the Knox resolution" said Senator
lodge in his statement. Il think
the league and the peace with Ger
many ought not to be mterlocked
We ought to be able to ratify the
peace with Germany at once and then
give the proper discussion to the coy
enant OF The league OF nations which
involves the entire future of the
country
II should like TO bring the Knox
resolution to vote at once. but after
COnSuIJdllOn win senator Knox
have come to the conclusion that
in the present situation of the appro-,
priation bills, and especially the army
bill now before the senate. we ought
not to press the Knox resolution at
this moment because it will lead to
debate and nothing should be al.
lowed to interfere with the passage
of the appropriation bills before July
j. We propose to pass them before
Inat date and snail sit night and day
If necessary to do il.
Il am more willing to accept this
postponement because the resolution
is growing stronger daily and the abb,
solute necessity of amending the
league if it is to be made safe for the
United States and for the cause of
peace, has just been freshly demon
strated in Senator Roots letter with
extraordinary force"
