SENATE STAND WILL
DECIDE WILSON TOUR
KNOX AND FALL RESOLUTIONS
LACK NECESSARY SUPPORT,
PRESIDENT TOLD; LEAGUE
AND TREATY IN DOUBT
BY ROBERT BENDER

WASHINGTON. June 24-Presl-
dent Wilson's forthcoming tour of the
country will be determined largely by
final reports TO senate opposition to the
league of nations.
He would prefer to limit the trip 10
two weeks or so, hut may be forced to
extent this materially. The President
has been advised the senate situation
to date on the treaty is about as fol-
lows:
/. There are insufficient votes to sep
arate the treaty proper and the league
covenant. (Sought by the Knox reso-
ltEtion)
2. There are insufficient votes to
pass the Fail resolution providing for
Immediate ending of the war. (SCught
by Fall)
3. There appears 10 be nc chance of
a clear majority Of the senate voting
on any treaty amendment or provision
that would je0par1ize the treaty or the
league.
4. There does not appear to be the
necessary two tn .rds majority now in
favor of ratifying the treaty and
league as it stands Hence the Presi-
dent is expected 10 attempt to put the
forthcoming battle On clear cut lines
namely, Win you take the present
treaty. with the league covenant or viii
YOU reject this treaty. either by voting
against il or talking il TO death while
the other allies approve it, thus forcing
America into the position of a separate
peace with Germany or continued
technical-state of war with Germany?
The Presidents tour will be one
man affair. There has been talk that
former President Taft and other prom
inent league supporters would journey
with the executive, but that is base
less.
