BOTH SIDES STUBBORN
TREATY MAY BE DRAWN INTO
1920 POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
POWERS THAT HAVE RATIFIED
WILL NOT WAIT ON THE
UNITED STATES.

western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington, Nov. 21.-Avenues of
speculation leading many ways were
opened up when officials n diplo-
mats turned over in their minds the
possible results at home and abroad
that are to follow termination OF the
special session of Congress without
Senate ratification of the peace treaty.
The thoughts of the treaty's friends IN
the Senate ~centered or accomplish
ing some compromise for a ratifica-
ton in the session beginning Dec. I,
and to that end steps are understood
to have been taken to ask that Presi-
dent Wilson ascertain from the other
powers what reservations they would
accept.
At the White House silence was
maintained and callers got the impress
sion that for the present the admins
tratiOn was willing to await quietly
the outcome of compromise efforts
among senator's. Ii vas not revealed
whether the President would permit
that policy to stand in the way of un-
dertaking the diplomatic exchanges
suggested.
Everywhere the Senate's action was
accepted as meaning at least a long
delay in ratification, and officials
thought the formal establishment of
Il state of peace between Germany
and the powers that have ratified
would proceed now without waiting
further for the decision of the United
States. The chief result, IL was
agreed, would be commercial and H.
nancial.
Chief among the matters of domestic
concern affected by the Senate's delay
Is wartime prohibition, which took n
new lease of life with the postpone
ment of a legal status of peace. In the
same class is various other war legisla-
tion. and altho the Republican leaders
in Congress will seek to end the war
formally by Il resolution. constitution
objections to that method are likely,
in the opinion of some officials. To tie
up the effort for some time in the
Another line on which speculation
turned was the possible effect of the
showdown on domestic politics.
Although both parties have disclaimed
any desire to put the treaty into poll
ties, the chances of keeping 1t out Of
1920 calculations were admitted on all
sides to have been reduced by the bit
ter clashes in debate when Republican
and Democrat senators hurled across
the Senate chamber their challenges to
go TO the country on the issue.

Washington, Nov. 20-The peace
treaty and its League of Nations COW
enant have been defeated in the
United States Senate. The Lodge
resolution of ratification with reser'
vations to the League of Nations GOV
enant was rejected by a vote of Al TO
II, the Democrats constituting the
chief opposition. A motion by Sena-
tor Underwood to ratify the treaty un-
cOnditionally failed, IS to 53, the Re
publicans constituting the chief opp0-
Sition.
In this state of deadlock between
~irrcconcilable factions which had
failed to reach any compromise, the
treaty was declared dead, So far n
least as this session of Congress is
concerned. President Wilson may re-
submit the treaty ut the December
session and make an effort 10 reach
an agreement with the Republicans on
ratification with reservations.
As soon as the treaty had been pro
nounced dead for this session Senator
Lodge Introduced a concurrent rcsolu-
ton declaring the war at an end and
II state of peace with Germany re-
stored. This resolution was referred
10 the foreign relations committee for
consideration at the mex session. If
passed by Congress ii will not require
the signature of the President, Con-
greSS assuming exclusive right to de
clare peace as we'll rs war.
Having thus swept aside the peace
treaty the Senate made the railroad
bill the unfinished business and adj
journed its first session of the Sixty
sixth Congress sine die.
