WASHINGTON, ID. C.. Nov.
20.-President Wilson is expect
ed 10 submit the beaten peace
treaty TO the next session Of
congress, starting December I.
In another attempt to obtain itA
ratification.
The treaty Is dead today, 20
far as the senate u concerned.
II went back to Wilson. follow
ing failure Of the ratification
votes at the spectacular final
session last night. The Lodge
resolution Of ratification. con-
tanning reservations. was turned
down. al to 81. The resolution Of
unqualified ratification was d.
feated. 81 to So.
Senator Hitchcock. who handled
the administration forces during tho
long fight just ended. declared today
Wilson would submit the treaty to
the next session.
Compromise will then be heard on
the basis OF the Lodge reservations.
slightly modified. republican sena-
tors OF the mild reservationist's
group said today.
Republican Congress
Failure to ratify the treaty az the
special session marked the end OF
the first sitting OF the new repub-
hcan congress. which began May 10.
What was to have been the great
reconstruction session struck an
early snag in the treaty and all at.
tempts to enact a program of domes-
tic legislation TO put the country
back on a peace time basis failed.
Pressing reconstruction questions.
on which congress failed to act. in
clude:
Return OF the railroads. reorgani-
zation OF the army on a peace basis.
repeal of wartime luxury taxes, cs-
adjustment OF a merchant marina
policy. opening of public lands for
soldier settlement. development OF
water power sites on public lands.
opening up of oil. coal and phos-
phate lands. government control OF
the meat packing industry and re-
vision OF the courtmartial system.
Der i. action on these measures will
still be blocked until the treaty is
disposed of. Senate leaders expect
to push for prompt action on tho
treaty TO clear the way for domestic
legislation. Early next year the
national campaign will be shaping
up and the republican congress
wants TO be ready TO face the coun-
try with some OF its proposed
domestic legislation enacted.
Lodge Again Busy
Completing the treaty fight next
session will the Lodge resolution

was introduced late last night, lust

Lodge resolution can carry by ma
Jority. which can be easily obtained

Action will be pressed in the sem
ate. and with the concurrence of the
house. peace then will have been
technically obtained. so far as con-
gress Is concerned
Belief in some quarters that Presi-
dent Wilson would call another spe-
cial session before December /, and
force the senate to resume consider

by Senator Hitchcock, administers
ton leader.
The senate's action in refusing to
ratify the treaty marked the climax
of one of the bitterest political bat
ties since the founding of the gov
eminent. For the first time in
American history the senate openly
challenged the presidents traditional
supremacy In foreign affairs.
