Presidents Request to Sen
ate Reopens League Po-
litical Discussions.
DEFEAT IS INDICATED
Republicans Scof at Idea
And Democrats Show
Lack of Enthusiasm.

President Wilson reopened the
door for league of nations politics
in the Senate yesterday when he
sent to that body a request that the
United States accept a mandate for
the newly recognized but not yet
defined nation of Armenia.
The President in his message pre-
supposes-because of a resolution of
congratulation to the new state
adopted by the Senate on May IA
the entire willingness of the Senate
to follow his wishes, but expressions
among Senators on the Republican
side and the lack OF enthusiasm
among the Democrats indicated GER
tain delay and possible defeat of
any such step.
Leaders Indicate Disapproval.
Read and study the Harbord re-
port" was the advice given by
Henry Cabot Lodge. Republican
leader, when he was asked to COM
ment upon the Presidents action.
Other members of the majority re-
Trained from public expression. but
showed plainly that they would op-
pose the assumption of any obliga-
tion in the Near East by the United
States. Oscar Underwood, Demo-
cratic floor leader. and Gilbert N.
Hitchcock. who led the fight for the
league of nations, refused to COM
ment.
The mandate cannot be accepted
without Congressional approval.
There were members of the admin
istration who said it could be ac-
cepted even if the United States did
not become a member of the league
of nations, but there were intima-
tions from Republican quarters that
the request of President Wilson was
intended to bring into the pro-
league camp the large number OF
persons in the United States who
for months have carried on a disin-
-terested campaign in behalf o. Ar.
menia.
View Of Democrats
The Democratic view was that in
accepting the mandate the United
States would not be responsible to
the league of nations in the carry
ing out of the obligations as man
datory. The opinion was expressed
that the allies are sufficiently eager
tnat this country should take the
mandate that they would be en-
tirely willing to have it done on
whatever terms the United States
proposed.

ment that although the question of
