LODGES REQUEST.
is OUT OF THE QUESTION TO
AccEDE TO SUGGESTION OF
THE COMMITTEE.
PRESIDENT AMPLY JUSTIFIED
Correspondence Apparently Brings on
Another lmpasse with Committee
on Foreign Relations.

Washington 1.-The request OF the
fcieign relations committee for latest
crafts Of the proposed treaties wrh
Germany's allies has been refuse, by
President Wilson on the ground that
compliance would set precedent en-
couraging senatorial encroachmert IN
the presidential power of treaty nego.
tiations.
In an exchange OF letters Mr.. VII.
son wrote that II was "out OF the
question" to accede 10 the commit.
tees suggestion. and Chairman Lodge
replied that although the treaties were
closely connected with the treaty with
Germany, the president undoubtedly
had authority TO keep information
about them from the senate.
The correspondence apparently
brought another impasse between the
president and the committee on the
much.debated subject OF what infor
nation the senators should have in
heir consideration OF the treaty with
Germany. Mr. Lodge and Others
have declared the committee could not
act intolisently until all Of the Yer.
sailles treaties were before Il. but al
the white house conference, Mr. WI
son told the committee that the form
10 be- taken by the four treaties under
negotiations depended largely on the
senates action regarding the instru.
ment now before II.

BILE to promote production.

clared that the people from that sec
