The Johnson amendment, which will
rally more votes than any of the others,
will likely come up for vote two week.
from now This amendment provides
that no nation shall have more rep
resentatives on the supreme council
than the United States. 1t particularly
aimed at the provision giving England
and her five colonies six. votes In the
council to Americas one. The most
careful poll shows the advocates Of the
Johnson amendment still lack two
votes of enough to pass it.
When the amendments are all out of
the way-and they will all probably be
defeated-the reservations will be taken
up and at least seven will probably be
added to the treaty.
Three reservations. in addition to the
four Lodge amendments. will most
likely be put forward as substitutes
for the Johnson amendment, Shantung
amendment and Fall amendment.
The reason the senators who object
to the treaty In it's present form will
line up strongly for the reservations
and not for amendments is their hest
ton to send the treaty back to the
Paris peace conference, which would
be necessary If it was amended. but
not necessary IL only reservations are
made. The senate is clearly against
sending 1t back to conference.
The Fall amendments, which met de-
feat, provided that the United States
