Mr.. Knox criticises Action.

AS soon as the Senate met. at noon,
Senator Knox, republican. Pennsylva-
mia. announced that had he been
present when the unanimous consent
agreement was requested yesterday by
Chairman Lodge Of the foreign rela-
tions committee he would have with
held his consent. 1t was q lack of
consideration" for other senator's, he
said, to enter into such an agreement
without calling a quorum.
ut seems to me-" Senator Knox said,
THAT as We could not reach a unani-
nous agreement to build a bridge
without calling a quorum, there are
thousands of reasons why we should
have kept within the rule in dealing
with this important treaty question.
These amendments will raise>the most
important questions, and in my opin-
ion we had better not pass upon them
without the fullest discussion, or al
least without giving full information
as to what we are getting into by
or foreign commissions

SENATORS DISCUSS
FALL AMENDMENTS
Opinions in Treaty Fight
Differ as to Effect of Ex-
pected Defeat.
CRITICISM BY Mr.. KNOX

During the earlier part of today
senators on both sides OF the treaty
hight were discussing the probable
outcome of the vote on the Fall
amendments. commencing late this
afternoon, and what the effect would
be of their expected defeat. Even
upon such collateral subject as this
there were diverging opinions.
Administration senator's held the
view that the psychological effect Of
defeat OF the Fall amendments would
be favorable to the administration
demand for unconditional ratification
of the treaty: that the spectacle Of
one amendment going down to defeat
could reasonably be expected to have
a moral influence upon subsequent
proceedings and to wear away and
weaken the opposition.

Amendments VS.. Reservations.

Administration forces thought that
the country would SO construe the
vote. however it might be regarded
in the Senate, where there is a diff
ferentiation between the amendments
and proposed reservations.
Tho opponents Of the treaty in its
present form took the other view,
however. as 1t was the program of
their own selection. and argued thAt
it will be best to clear away all oues-
lions Of amendments and then come
to reservations as the last test Of
strength in the Senate.
