Amendment to Treaty Plans

ny 1. &. MARTIN
United Pres Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5o--A sharp
struggle in the senate foreign rela.
tons committee over the form OF
treaty reservations. when the sub.
ject Is taken up early next week.
was forecast here today.
The foreign relations committee
yesterday amended the peace treaty
to provide that the United States
shall have as many votes In the
league OF nations assembly as the
British empire. Under the cove
nant In Its present form the British
empire has six votes in the assem-.
bly, while the United States has
but one.
Republican views on reservations
vary widely. Senator Lodge, chair.
man OF the committee. is confronted
with the task OF reconciiing the
ideas OF Senator Mccumber with
those OF Senator Knox and Senator
Brandegee. for Instance.
Again, Lodges own ideas do not
entirely match those OF Knox, and
there are oncilables--Johnson
Borah and Fall--who must be reck.
oned with.
Democrats will take no more part
In reservation making than In adop.
tion OF textual amendments, which
being powerless to stop, they mere.
ly opposed to the limit of their vot.
ing power.
May Report Wednesday
With but one more amendment
In sight. reservations will come up
early next week and the committee
hopes to get the treaty reported by
"wednesday or Thursday. The vital
and truly important committee work
Is now In sight. many members feel.
The one amendment yet before
the committee Is that OF Senator
Fall. striking out the labor clauses.
The committee adopted three others
late yesterday. thus nearly cleaning
the slate OF textual changes. pro.
posed.
The treaty committee met today 10
decide on plans for stamping the
country In opposition to President
Wilson. They have been unable TO
determine thus far how many sena.
