ING TO TREATY.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Leader on
both sides of the Treaty fight are in
doubt when the resolution of Sena-
tor Pittman, Democrat will be pre-
sented for consideration. Those
oppose dto the administration said
that the proper procedure would
be to have the resolution consider
ed by the committee on Foreign
Relations before it was presented
to the Senate, but they would not
oppose a vote on the resolution. II
the administration so desired Sen
ator Hitchcock would have nothing
to say regarding the resolution and
Senator Pittman said that it would
not be presented today.
Washington, Aug. 21.-President
Wilson has not the power to declare
peace by proclamation, nor could
he consent under any circumstances
to take such a course without its
formal ratification by the Senate.
President Wilson wrote Senator Fall
in answer to twenty questions which
were presented to the President by
the Senator on Tuesday at the
White House.
Replying to another question the
President said that the peace treaty
after formal ratification by the gov
ernment of three Of the associated
powers, operated merely to establish
peace between the ratifying powers,
and it was in question whether the
League of Nations created by the
associated and allied powers could
have the power other than the moral
right to bring pressure 'on another
OF the gouu. However he felt
confident that the moral force
would be a very compelling factor
10 prevent war. He expressed him
self in answer toanother question
that an early ratification of the
Peace treaty an an agreement as
to the League of Nations would
have the effect of settling condi.
tions and bringing about norma
production of food, and help to settle
that very vexing question.
As to the question regarding the
German possessions another il
quiry from Senator Fall the Presi
dent said, that the possessions are
left with the allied powers as trus
tees until their final disposition.
