AVOID TREATY
RESPONSIBILITY
Party Leaders Would Wash
Hands in Peace Pact

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The
question Of party responsibility for
the peace treaty deadlock was
threshed over in militant fashion on
the senate floor Friday with both
the republicans and the democrats
seeking to wash their hands Of the
senates failure to act and OF any
consequences in the political cam
paign.
Although both sides professed an
earnest desire 10 compromise and
sQuabbled for the credit for past
compromise efforts, there was such
note of hoplessness in the discus
sion Of the treaty's irreconcilable
opponents that party leaders might
rs well put the question OF ratifica-
ton out Of their minds and turn the
senate's attention 10 the business of
legislation.
Among other things the debate
brought out a direct disagreement Of

party had gone nine tenths Of the
way to a compromise and that the
republicans had stood solidly for ac-
ceptance OF their own reservations
