DEMOCRATS SEND
OUT S. @. S. FOR

At the Same Time They Deny
Republican Vote Is Suffi-
cient to Amend League

Washington. Sept. 20.--Demo-
cratic leaders in the senate chal-
lenged the claim of republican op-
ponerts of the league of nations
covenant that enough pledges had
been obtained to Secure adoption Of
Senator Johnson's amendment dc
signed to equalize British and Amer
ican voting power in the league a<
sembly. While they expressed SUI
preme confidence and predicted at
least 50 votes against the amYnd-
ment-enough to defeat it-t0ese
senator's finally got in touch with
Vice President Marshall insisting
that he return in time for the first
real test vote on the treaty, ,cx-
psctcd next week.
The senate was not in session and
Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela-
tions committee was not at his Of
iic during the day, and republicans
say they had rested on their oars,
waiting for the contest to begin
Monday.
Mild" reservationists, some of
whom claimed to hold the balance of
power, were actively conferring and
counting noses to see how many of
their number would vote against the
Johnson amendment Some of their
claims ran as. high as eight.
Both sides were expecting help
from this group, but there was no
certainty as to how the majority
would line up. Democratic leaders
in predicting 50 votes against the
Johnson amendment out of a total
of o6 counted on the support OF
many of this group, in view of the
general belief that five democrats
would be found with the republicans
in the lineup on the amendment
fight ..
Senator Hitchcock said today that
every effort would be made to
hasten consideration of the treaty
because of the 'insistent demand"
from business people for final set
tfement. There was no indication,
however, as to how soon vote
might be called for on the Johnson
amendment.

There is no talk of bringing strike
