Knox Aims to Shelve League
Until After Action ON Treaty
Opponents Seek to Bring Up Deferred Resolution
in New Form; Hitchcock Predicts Ratification
After sSRadical'' Amendments Are Voted Upon
Copyright. 1919. New York rr,sun. Inc. ,

ators will vote with the Democrats
against the Knox motion, which is
virtually the same as the old Knox
resolution" said Senator Hitchcock
"lt will be showed under. On each
succeeding vote l expect to see the
opposition gain a little strength. but
they will be beaten on every roll call
until the resolution of ratification
stands with mild language indeed"
Does that mean you expect there
are to be some reservations 2" he was
asked.
WELL" said Senator Hitchcock, ~
have not said that. Certainly if there
are they will be mild, and will not
really weaken the covenant to any ex
tent. The opposition will not have
votes enough to do that These tests
of public sentiment which are going
on all the time, every one Of which
shows an overwhelming preponderance
of public opinion for the league. will
gradually weakens the backbone Of the
opposition.
i have seen it many times in my
experience in the Senate, however, that
men would talk against measure as
though they would never vote for it no
matter what happened, and then, after
their amendments had all been voted
down, and the question was to vote
yes or no on the final proposition, they
would vote for it. 1t will be SO in this
instance. Many of the Senators now
talking so vigorously against the
league or in favor of radical pro-
gramme Of amendment or reservation,
will hear from the people and on the
final roll call will vote aye for ratifi-
cation of the treaty"
In the ranks of the opposition there
is no apparent weakness on the reserva-
tion programme, despite the confident
claims of the Administration leaders.
No organized fight for the Knox mo-
tion to delay consideration of the
treaty is evident, despite Mr.. Knox's
move in notifying Mr.. Hitchcock that
he proposed to demand vote on it.
With even Senator McCumber in line
for some of the reservations, and with
Senators Spencer and Norris, who arc
ardently in favor of league of ma
tions, in favor of a reservation which
would take the teeth out of Article X.
so far as the United States is con,
ccrned, opposition leaders think there
is little doubt that something like the
Root programme, with u slight change
In the reservation on Article X, to make
sure the peace conference would not
have to be reassembled. will muster at
least fifty votes.

W1oL ;,,1fo~ p.,.,


WASHINGTON, July 3.-A startling
picture of labor conditions in Michi-
gan was presented in a statement sub
mitted to the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee to-day by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Lator. A special investigation has
disclosed, he said, that revolutionary
doctrines are gaining adherents by the
thousands; that huge funds are being
raised and expended for the propaga-
tion of sociaiistic and anarchistic theo-
ries, and that the Michigan miners are
going over to the l. w. w. in droves,
Most of the American troops sent
to Siberia were from Michigan, bu.
Mr.. Gompers blamed the enthusiasm
with. which, he said, the state was en-
bracing the doctrines of Lenine and
Trotzky chiefly on prohibition. Michi-
gan has been dry for fourteen months.
The industrial situation in Detroit,
owing to the spread OF radicalism and
the deadly doctrines of the l. w. W.
and the revolutionists, is acute and
charged with danger" he said. "Op-
pressive legislation begets radical prop
aganda, and should Bolshevik doctrines
ever obtain foothold in this nation,
which God forbid, the prohibitionists
Will not be free from responsibility.
Conditions Threatening
Prior to May, 1918, when Michigan
went dry, Mr. Gompers said, all efforts
Of the radicals to organize Detroi. and
other Michigan cities met with failure
in spite of the expenditure of large
sums for propaganda purposes.
"ln the fourteen months since pro-
hibition was enacted" he added, "the
alteration in Detroit conditions has
been amazing, not to say sinister and
threatening"
Mr.. Gompers gave a list Of forty
eight radical organizations with head
quarters in Detroit and of 1875 radical
pamphlets and booklets that have been
distributed by the hundreds of thou
sands throughout the state. More
than 100000 copies Of the Russian
Soviet constitution have been sold in
the city Of Detroit alone.
Describing the form of radicalism
that is spreading in the industrial
centres Of Michigan, Mr.. Gompers said
at is fierce form of radical |. w. W.
teaching and preaching akin to the
revolutionary socialist Of the continent
Of Europe, rather than the parlor So
cialist of the London Fabian Society.
1T is socialist born Of class division
and class antagonism, and the hatred
Of all superiority, either mental, moral
Or Physical, which would seem to be
inseparable from radicalsm, whatever
name may be used to dignity it,"

WASHINGTON, July "a motion
to defer action on the league OF ma
tions until the peace treaty shall have
been ratified will be made by Senator
Philander C. Knox as soon as the
treaty IS laid before the Senate, it de-
velcpvd to-day.
Notice to this effect was served to-
day on the Administrator leader. Sem
ator Hitchcock, by Senator Knox
Thus a vote will then be had on a ques-
tion in effect precisely similar to the
much discussed Knox resolution. which
was favorably reported by the Foreign
Relations Committee, and then allowed
to sleep on the desk of the Senate
clerk.
This is the course of procedure on
the treaty and league in the Senate as
forecast to-day by Senator Hitchcock:
I A vote on Senator Knox's motion
Il to postpone action on the
league until the treaty has been rati-
fled This is regarded by the Ad
ministration forces as the most radi-
cal of all the motions which will be
made, and vote on it, they think,
will not be heavy.
y A vote on amendments which
would strike out portions of
the treaty to which Senators have
objections, such as Articles x and
XII.
2 Votes on motions to write in
qualifying amendments, safe
guarding the Monroe Doctrine, i'm
migration control and similar mat
tcrs.
4. A vote on the Root reservation
programme. This is regarded
by the Administration leaders as al
most as radical as the direct amend
mcnt. They say either amendments
or the Root reservation, in effect
striking out Article X, would force
the reconvcning of the peace confer
ence and delay thereby the resump-
tion of normal conditions.
Final Ratification Predicted
e A vote on less radical reserva-
tions, one after the other, until
finally Il mild resolution Of rAtifica-
tion will be adopted.

LONDON, July 3.-Although it is un-
certain when the German National
Assembly will ratify the peace treaty
it is expected here that ratification will
come this week, probably Saturday, as
the Germans are anxious to have the
blockade raised at the earliest possible
moment.
Under the directions of Premier Nitti.
the Italian parliament also is expected
to ratify the conyention quickly, prob
ably within a fortnight.
Ratification of the Anglo-Franco-
American pact assuring aid to France
n the british Parliament doubtless will
await the action of the American
Senate, but there is not the slightest
doubt that the House of Commons will
act favorably as soon as the United
States accepts the responsibility.
