This is the position announced by
Senators who are opposed to the
dominating features of the league Of
nations constitution. Their position
was announced in discussions of the
cable news from Paris that the
advocates have succeeded in tying the
league plan to the treaty so inextric-
ably that the Senate will be forced
to accent il as a whole or reject it.
The Senators who are directing the
fight against the league insist that
the sixty-odd Senators who have
pledged themselves to demand the
separation of the league constitution
from the treaty will stand by their
guns and that there is not even a
remote possibility of the Senate
weakening.
Several of the Senators resented
what appears to be an attempt TO
force them to swallow the entire
league plan as a part Of the treaty or
accept the responsibility Of defeating
the treaty.

Things Running Smoothly.

cate that everything is running
smoothly" despite cabled reports to
the contrary. A canvass today among
the Senators still in town who are OPP
posed to the League of Nations in its
present form shows that there has
not been a single dereliction in their
ranks and that they present a united
phalanx of ''1fty-seven Varieties"

having the total roll call against the
covenant of sixty-two.
When the word got around that
the President was planning an earlier
return than was indicated when he
sailed away, and that an extra ses-
sion would soon be called, it evoked
great satisfaction.
