The existence of such a pact has been

anything but reassuring regarding

SENATE CLEARS DECKS FOR
BITTER STRUGGLE OVER
RATIFICATION OF TREATY

The Senate has started in earnest
to clear decks" for the hot verbal
and parliamentary battle regarded as
inevitable when the peace treaty. with
the League OF Nations covenant inter
woven with II, is submitted to the up
per chamber in its final official form.
An announcement was made by Re
publican leaders Of both branches Of
Congress that IL had been decided at
a joint conference Of the Senate and
House Republican steering commit
tees that the Senate devote a large
part Of its time to the peace treaty
while the House wrestled almost ex-
clusiveIy with the big task OF origi-
mating and framing new or recon-
structive legislation. as well as with
proposed Investigations OF Govern
ment departments, bureaus and
boards.
It was expected that after Senate
and House had disposed OF the pend
ing hold-over supply bills by the be-
ginning Of the nxet fiscal year-July
THAT the Senate would not have to
wait much longer for the return OF
the President and the presentation OF
the peace treaty-through regular Of
fetal channels-at the Capitol.
In the meanwhile, the planned probe
OF peace treaty leaks Dy the OenAEe
Foreign Relations Committee would
probably go on, although even those
Republican and Democratic Senators
directly responsible were uncertain.
they stated, as to whether IL would
get very far, or would fall fiat"
Copies of the peace treaty declared
by Republican Senators to have reach
ed this country. as well as other copies
expected next week via Germany and
the Scandinavian countries, were not
likely to prove OF much value, even
though produced in the Senate, in
view of the well-known and oft-re-
peated fact that the text Of the treaty
is constantly undergoing changes, and
some weeks may yet elapse before it
would be available In this or any other
country in the final, official form in
which the Senate would be called upon
to either ratify or reject vt
In anticipation OF almost daily de-
bate in the Senate until the treaty is
finally acted on by that body, leaders
OF the Republican majority IN Con-
gress were agreed last night that the
Senate be virtually left alone with
foreign affairs" while the House
shoulder the burden Of domestic
ones.

CABLE IMPOSSIBLE

NEW YORK, June s.-An all-Amer-

Brazil and South American points is
at present an impossibility. New
comb Carlton, president Of the Vest
ern Union, stated today. =
"Such a line would be about 1000
miles long and cost upward Of S15,-
100000" Carlton said. Without
Government subsidy such line could
not be built and make returns on the
money invested"
South American concessions grant
ed British and French companies also
make direct American cable impos-
sible. he added.
''The French concession from Brazil
prohibits a direct American cable,
while the British concession prohibits
any American line from touching
more than two points," Mr.. Carlton
stated.

There was written into the record

Another proposal is that the Gov

them by parcel post.
