FINAL

Battle Opens In Senate Tomor-
row With Deadlock Pre-
dicted As Result.
LODGE MAY HAVE SURPRISE
President May Have Advantage
Through Power to Pigeon
hole Unsatisfactory Pact. :

Senate leaders today are mar
shaling their forces for what Is ex-
pected to prove the final treaty bat7
tie. =
The struggle is scheduled to open
tomorrow noon, when Senator Lodge,
Republican leader. will call up the
treaty for open discussion in the
Senate. Senators today are unwilling
to attempt to forecast the result OF
the struggle. Many believe a dead
lock viii again result. Others say
Senator Hitchcock, Administration
leader, is preparing to play a new
card. but they are unable to explain
what this move will be.
May Spring Surprise.
Senator Lodge also Is credited with
having ready an unexpected move.
Lodge so far has refused to give any
indication of what he will do beyond
stating that he plans to ask con-
sideration of the treaty.
Official Washington is guessing
wildly and waiting ne opening of the
struggle with keen Interest, certain
that 1t will inject more political SEN
sation into the coming week than
have yet been experienced in the
treaty fight.
Many observers predict n new move
will be made by the President, al
though the White House attitude was
made clear yesterday when Senator
Hitchcock made public a letter witt
ten to him January 26 by the Prcsi-
dent. The letter made clear that the
President would accept the Hitch
cock reservation to Article X, which
was rejected by the Senate November
10 by n vote OF 80 to Al.
Advantage of President.
The President has a natural ad-
vantage in the coming night, accord
ing to some officials, by reason of his
power to pigeon-hole the treaty il 1t
lis ratified in a form of which he does
not approve. Those who consider
this an advantage point out that ex-
cept for the Republican 'bitter-
enders," the Republicans generally
want to ratify the treaty in some
form. They concede, however, that
for the President to reject IL would
mean that he would have to justify
his act to the country and that failure
to win public opinion to approve of
his act would put the Democratic
party in a bad hole.
It Is on this basis that many other
observers regard the Presidents
power to reject ratification as a

example from a recent Macy

prising how engaglngly
such a combination lends
itself to all the curves and

made for naive trifles OF

laces spun OF moonshine, for
