Washington, Aug 2e. - Next
Wednesday, the day of President Will
sons departure on his tour for the
League of Nations, has now been fixed
as the probable date for completing
work on the treaty in the senate for
eign relations committee.
Republican leaders do not wish the
president to be able to tell the country
that the committee is holding up the
treaty, for even tho he would regard
such a statement as unfair to them.
they fear, they said today, that it
might be believed in some quarters.
The Republican position has been that
the president, and not they. has been
responsible for any delay in the COM
mittee's report.
Democrats, however. pointed to the
committees record this week as proof
that Republicans have not sincerely
tried to speed UP their report.
