TREATY WILL PASS

Senator Hitchcock, who is leading
the fight for ratification Of the peace
treaty and league Of nations covenant,
issued the following statement through
the Washington Bureau Of the League
to Enforce Peace. yesterday evening:
The progress Of the treaty in the
Senate has now become well defined
and is gaining speed. The defeat Of
the shantung amendment by a ma
jority Of twenty revealed the evident
purpose Of the Senate to reject every
textual amendment to the treaty.
Within the period of about a week
it is probable that all amendments
will be disposed of. At the present
time the johnson amendment is the
only remaining committee amendment.
When It Is beaten the treaty will be
open to amendments proposed by in
dividual Senators. After they are
beaten the Senate. now in committee

Aliens who withdrew their first cit
fzenship papers to escape the draft
cannot be deported because Of treat
obligations. Secretary of State Ian
sing formally advised the House
immigration Committee yesterday.
Passage Of the proposed leeisIa-
tion. which would deny forever to
the persons affected the right to be-
come American citizens. might cause
considerable. embarrassment to the
United States. said the Secretary.s
letter to Representative johnson. of
Washington. chairman Of the commit
tee.
The particular treaties which would
be violated by such deportations are
those with the countries which re-
manned neutral during the war. Mr..
Lansing said.
Accompanying the State Depart-
ment communication were protests
from Norway and Sweden against en-
actment Of the pending legislation.
The protests pointed out that the
treaties between the United States
and those countries exempt Ameri-
cans from compulsory military
service over there.
