SEN. HITCHCOCK
HOLDS LEAGUE
CERTAIN OF o. K.
Declares Senate Will Rat
ify Covenant With
out Change.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking
Democrat of the senate foreign reia-
tions committee, predicted in a
statement today that the senate
would raufy the covenant of the
league of nations and that the
necessary majority vote to amend it
or separate it from the peace treaty
would not be obtained.
Senator Hitchcock has been the
chief spokesman for the administra-
ton throughout the long senate con-
troversy over the league of nations
and his statement generally was re-
garded as a reply TO that issued last
night by Senator Lodge who SAID
the league covenant was not accept
able to the majority of the senate.
Opponents Divided.
THE supporters OF the peace
treaty in the senate are confronted
by divided forces said Senator
hitchcock. First, there are those
who are radically opposed to any
league of nations under any circum-
stances. Second there are those
who profess to support the league
of nations but insist on amending
some of the provisions to meet their
own particular views.
Either of these plans to succeed
must receive the support of a ma
jority of the senate. In other words
the opponents of ratification cah
beat the treaty by securing one
third of the votes of the senate 70.
reject the treaty but in order TO
amend it they must secure a major
ity of the votes of the senate.
Can Not Obstruct Peace.
1T would require a majority OF
votes, of course, to strike out the
league of Nations article just as it
would require a majority to change
any part of the league of nations 1t
must be evident to everybody that
while the senate can amend the
treaty such amended treaty is
new treaty whether it strikes out
the league of nations proposition or
whether it amends the league of ma
tions provision. If one nation re-
fused to accept it that would pro-
duce deadlock and make peace I'M
possible. For all to accept any sen
ate amendments even if it were pos
sible would require a long period of
time and that would greatly delay
the advent of peace. The changes in
the league constitution have remov-
ed the substantial and valid oDjec-
tions TO its ratification and believe
it will be ratified"
