NICK ACTION
QlPEACE PACT
UNLOCKED FOR
Administration Leaders to Play
s'vvatchfuI Waiting" Game
Believing Popular Demand
for Ratification Is Near.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The attitude
o. the administration today with re-
ezsrd to the peace treaty was that Of
''watchful waiting"
Declaring that great popular de-
mend for ratification will come from
tssc country within few weeks. Pres
iucnt Wilson Is keeping "hands off, the
present situation waiting for this urge
to materialize according to numer-
ous Indications.
The president refrained from directly
nsentioning the treaty in his message
10 congress. ii 10 believed with the idea
that further argument was useless.
The need for 1t. friends Of the adj
ADMINISTRATION predict, will steadily be-
come more apparent. They are looking
for events to convince the people that
the treaty is desirable and that no
cther means of bringing about official
PEACE will do. The presidents silence,
they assert, does not mean that he has
given up the fight or that he is any
legs interested in ratification than
when he toured the country appealing
ion it. That ne Is wrapped up In the
treaty" was the expression used by
some of his advisers in describing the
situation.
Recommendation of Wilson for a
Third term by the state convention at
Pierre, S. D., was interpreted by the
presidents supporters as endorsement
IT the treaty and as an answer to the
arguments of these who claim the
:Jlact is so dead that the Democrats
Wjil not want 70 eyhume it and make
Il an Issue in 1920.
Opponents of the treaty openly scott
81 the idea that the nation will de-
mand ratification. Many congressman
returning to Washington after talking

t'cally no interest In the treaty and
that the people are rapidly forgetting
