HASTEN TREATY
RATIFICATION
AS Soon as President Returns Effort
Will be Made to Push
Action in the
Senate.

by L. C. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Soon af-
ter President Wilson's return to Wash
ington the strongest possible pressure
is to be brought upon the senate by
administration forces in and out of
congress to hasten treaty ratification
a leading administrator declared to-
day.
This senator, who will confer with
Wilson as soon as possible, declared
the opponents to the treaty will be
told in no uncertain terms that they
cannot continue to disregard the de-
pland for ratification. If they do they
will be held responsible now and in
1920 elections for bringing upon the
nation a crisis which may result dis.
astrously for their political prospects,
il was stated.
Members OF both houses and senate
declared today that before many
weeks pass, congress must put it's
whole influence behind a national
sterilization program if serious trou'
bic is to he averted. This cannot be
done, they said, until the senate fin
ishes the treaty.
