republican members, received the
message in open session and re-
ferred the treaty without discussion

sage did refer to this clause how

adding that as no opportunity had
been offered to examine the Yer
sailles treaty, it was opportune to
present the other.

Although the committee has made
no definite plans, it is likely that the
treaty will be taken up by it within
few days and considered jointly
with the Versailles treaty. Before
this is done, however, the committee
