Lodge of Massachusetts Says
League of Nations Will Not
Be Ratified.
81 MEMBERS PLEDGED
Names of Those Who Will Oppose
Covenant in Next Congress Are
Read Into the Record of
Retiring Senate.

Washington, March a. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, read in the
senate names of 81 Republican mem
bers of the new senate, a number suf-
ficient to block ratification of a treaty,
saying they had approved resolution
setting forth that 'the constitution of
the league of nations in the form now
proposed to the peace conference
should not be accepted by the United
States
The list was inserted in the record
by the Republican leader after Demo
cratic Leader Martin and Senator
Swanson of Virginia had raised stimuli
taneous objection to consideration of
the resolution which he had introduced
after long conferences with minority
members and had communicated by
telegraph and telephone with RepubIi-
can senators and senators-elect who
were not in Washington. The resolu-
ton went over by the rules.
Oppose Constitution.
While opposing the constitution as
now drafted, the resolution sets forth
that it was the desire of the Senate
that the nations of the world should
unite to promote peace and general
disarmament. 1t also said it was the
sense of the Senate that "The nego-
tiations on the part of the United
States should Immediately be directed
to the utmost expedition of the urgent
business of negotiating peace terms
with Germany" and that then the
league proposal should be taken up for
careful and serious consideration.
Unable to secure consideration of his
measure, Senator Lodge read the
names of the 81 members of the next
Senate, which will consider the peace
treaty, who, the minority leader said
favor his resolution.
Democrats Plan Move.
Democratic leaders considered some
action in the nature of reply to the
Republicans move. Chairman Hitch
cock of the Foreign Relations commit
tee, it was stated, was considering adj
dressing the Senate on the subject.
He pointed out privately that the reso-
luton recited that the present league
charter should not be accepted by
the United States. Senator Hitchcock
said that while the Republicans effort
was to present a fiat" declaration
of opposition to the present league
constitution, the term used did not
necessarily imply that they would vote
against the present draft.
Pointing out that the constitution
opposed merely is committee report,
Senator Swanson said: "The resolu-
ton and the Republicans endorsing it
do not say that they would defeat
final peace treaty containing the pres
ent league constitution"
