 WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The peace treaty was formally brought back into the open senate today, but as soon as parliamentary barriers to it's conSide- ration had been removed it was put aside again for a period of waiting which the leaders said would last at least a week.
 Suspending it's rules by bipartisan majority of seven to one and virtually without debate, the senate reconSid- . cred, in short order, the action by which ratification failed on November 19 and then, as a matter of. formality, sent the treaty to the foreign relations committee with instructions to report it back at once with the reservations framed by the republicans at the last session of congress.
 To Press Legislation
 The committee expects to act tomor- row, but if was announced tonight that Senator Lodge would ask that it's re- port be not taken up for consideration until next week. Urgent legislative matters, it was said. including appro- priations and tariff legislation, were expected to occupy the Senate's time in the interval.
 The complicated technical operation of taking the treaty from it's pigeon hole was accomplished in accordance with a program previously agreed on by republican and democratic leaders,
  foes of ratification raising a voice in opposition. The debate was kept strictly to parliamentary questions, and was of short duration, disappoint- ing the largest crowd which has gath cred in the senate galleries since the treaty was laid aside in November.
 lrreconciIobIe Block Move
 Thirty -four democrats and twenty nine republicans voted to suspend the senate rules that the treaty again could be considered, while nine repub- licans, all of them the irreconciIable group, voted against The action was taken on motion of Senator Lodge after one of the irreconcilables, Sen ator Norris of Nebraska, had blocked suspension of the rules by unanimous consent.
 By exclamation. and again on the motion of the republican leader. the senate then ordered reconsideration of it's previous roll call on ratification and sent the treaty to a committee. The latter step. it was explained, was taken to abrogate the cloture which was imposed last session and which Vice President Marshall held must come back into the senate with the treaty. only two roll calls were taken, one on the motion to suspend the rules and another on sustaining the vice president when he overruled Senator Norris point of order against the mo-
 
 The latter resulted in count of 62 to 10, the irreconcilables alone refusing to back up the ruling of the chair. Later Senator Norris made a speech bitterly criticising the parliamentary methods by which the treaty's recon sideration was accomplished.
 Acticn Not Binding
 In asking that the committee be in- structed to return the republican reser- vationS along with the treaty, Senator. Lodge declared the stipulation would bind no one and was requested merely to get the reservations back before the senate for provision. After that had been done the republican leader is ex- pected to propose modificatioris agreed on by the disbanded bipartisan com promise conference thus opening again the whole field of compromise discus sion.
 In all quarters it was emphasized to- night that the smoothnesS of the days proceedings was not to be taken as as- surfing any agreement between the par ties. on reservations. Although sen- ators professed to be very hopeful of ratification. it was conceded every where that many differences still stood in the way. There were evidences also that the irreconcilable group had plans of its own to magnify these differ ences as much as possible.
