GREATEST TRUST
IN HISTORY
Continued from page IL

to strike out the preamble but this
was defeated to 6.
Knox was authorized to report the
resolution to the senate at once. 1t
was certain, senators declared, to be
the center of the most bitter debate
yet heard on the league, as admins
tration forces regard it as the be-
ginning Of the campaign first to
divorce the treaty and the league cove
rant, and then to kill the covenant.
Upon the fate of the Sterling resolu-
ton may depend the final vote of a
number of senators, 1t was predicted
today, as they regarded any pledge by
the United States to guarantee the
territory or independence Of other
nations as fatal surrender Of Amert-
can sovereignty.
After democratic objection had
once prevented him making the report,
Knox obtained unanimous consent
shortly after the senate met to present
his resolution. Senator Robinson who
had objected withdrew his objection
and the resolution was put on the SEN
ate calendar.
Plans Of senate leaders to adjourn
today until Monday IL carried out will
prevent discussion of either the Knox
or the Sterling resolutions before
next week.
