PLAN TREATY
COMPROMISE
WILL NOT WAIT ON THE
UNITED STATES.
BOTH SIDES STUBBORN
TREATY MAY BE DRAWN INTO
THE 1920 POLITICAL
CAMPAIGN.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Avcnues of
speculation leading many ways were
opened up when officials and dipl"-
mats turned over in their minds the
possible results at home and abroad
that are 10 follow termination OF the
special session of Congress without
Senate ratification of the pence treaty.
The Thoughts of the trenty's friends in
/ the Senate centcred on accomplish
ing some compromise for n ratificn-
tion in the session beginning Dec. !.
~nd to that end steps are understood
to have been taken to ask that rrest-
dent Wilson ascertain from the other
powers what reservations they would
accept.
I At the White House silence was
maintained and callers got the impress
sion that for the present the admins
tration was willing 10 await quietly
the outcome of compromise efforts
among senator's. II was hot revealed
whether the President would permit
that policy to stand In the way of I'M
dertaking the diplomatic exchanges
suggested.
Everywhere the Scnntes action was
accepted MS meaning at least y long
delay in ratification. and officials
thought the formal establishment OF
II state OF peace between Germany
and the powers that have rntificd
would proceed now without waiting
further for the decision Of the United
Stntes The chief result. II was
agreed, would be commercial and ii
nancial
! Chief among the mntters of domestic
concern affected by the Sennte's delay
Is wartime prohibition. which took -
new lease cf life with the postpone
mcnt Of a legal status OF peace. In the
same class Is various other war lcgisla
( tion. and altho the Republican leaders
! in Congress will seek tn end the war
formally by resolution. constitution
nj objections TO that method are likely
/ In tile opinion of some officials. 10 tic
up the effort for some time In the
courts
Another line on which speculation
turned was the possible effect Of the
SciAte showdown on domestic politics.
Although both parties have disclaime,l
any desire to put the treaty into poll
tics. the chances Of keeping II out Of
1920 calculations were admitted on all
sides to have been reduced by the bit
ter clashes In debate when Republican
and Democrat senators hurled across
the Senate chamber their challenges to
go to the country on the issue.
