Washington.-Sen Senators may doubt
their authority under the Constitution
to ratify the French treaty. and they
may not ratify It, but lacking ratifica-
ton, the mind of the opposition APP
| narently Is in favor of doing some
thing equally strong and comprehen-
siye in behalf of France.
1t is known that some of the sena-
tors, and perhaps what is known of
them is true Of the majority, feel
there is sentiment in behalf of France
ana its cause among the people of the
United States that will Decessitate
some adequate recognition of the
French peoples need. for that is what
1t Is, for protection against the Ger
man when he shall have rehabIlltated
himself, and the old spirit OF hatred
against his neighbor to the west shall
have reasserted Itself. Common po-
ittieal sense If not gratitude, observers
say, probably will dictate response
to the request embodied In the treaty,
even if the treaty in its present form
should not be sanctioned
