Allied Enjoys Hold
Treaty Still Lires
Entente agents in Wash-
ington Say Rejection
viii Not Delay League

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.--In the ab-
sence of any official word from the
State Department on the outcome Of
the treaty fight in the Senate, diplo-
matte representatives of the Entente
powers here have been communicating
to their governments their own ac-
count OF what happened and the pros
poets for the future.
The department takes the ground
that technically the treaty is still alive,
not having been rejected in the Senate,
and that therefore it still is subject to
revival and further action.
No doubt is entertained by the vari-
GUS Entente embassies that without
action by the United States on the
treaty the four principal powers which
already have ratified it, and also Ger
many, will call in the several smaller
states which have given their ratifca-
tions and proceed to organize the
league of nations Immediately upon
the publication of the 'proces verbal"
now set for about December l.
Yet the first step in that direction,
it is pointed out, must be made by
President Wilson, who will find him self
in the position of being obligated to
call the initial meeting of the league,
although he may not participate in it's
deliberations.
AS the treaty remains unratihed by
America, there is no exact LEGAL oblga-
ton upon President Wilson to convene
the league, but the other powers have
ratified the treaty, with provision in
cludod requiring the first meeting to be
called by the President of the United
States, and it is thought here that he
will perform that function as a matter
of international courtesy. if not of
obligation.
In Japanese circles it is considered
that the door is still open to China to
not one of the signatories of the Yer
sailles treaty, China's first step is to
