Although not changing technically
the existing status 3e relations be-

many, the senate's failure to ratify
the peace treaty is expected by ad-
ministrasion oG,cials and diplomats tn
have an indi1ect result of some inn
portance on steps now being taken
to restore the world to peace basis.
One of the first consequences is like
ly to be the fastening of negotiations
IN Paris, including the promulgation
of the proceedings at Versailles.
which will restore full commercial and
diplomatic relations between GERMANY
and the powers which ratified the
treaty.
The new congress will meet Dec. /
but 1t IS expected clear field for
treaty consideration will not be open-
cd before January at the earliest.
Once the other great powers have
gone ahead with the establishment Of
full trade and diplomatic relations
with Germany, official say a new ar
rangement will have to be made bv
the United States to fit into the com
merclal scheme thus created for what
ever trade the United States has with
the Central Towers.
