Washington. ID. c., Feb. 9.-With the
situation just what it was Nov. 10 when
ratification efforts reached a deadlock
and attempts at compromise We're aban-
dOned as hopeless. the German peace
treaty today again was TO the fore in
the senate. The pact itself was not ac-
tually before the body, but it indirectly
came up with the beginning OF efforts
by leaders in the controversy to untan-
gle the parliamentary web that must
be removed before the treaty can be
considered.
The first move after formally calling
up the treaty was to get rid of the clO-
ture rule under which the closing de-
bate was conducted in November.
Article X Sticking Point.
The Chief obstacle to ratification
of the treaty under Il compromise such
as could command the votes of the me-
cessary twO-thirds is the attitude of the
president in opposition to the Lodge
to article \ of the treaty.
If the president were to yield on this
the treaty could be prompt
ly ratified, as it is known that enough
democrats are willing to vote for a
which the republicans
would accept if the presidents position
md influence did not have the effect Of
votes of such democratic
as are unwilling to oppose
him.
