WASHINGTON, Feb. 5:-Various
intimations and reports that Presi-

Grey's recent letter on the status OF
the peace treaty, were met by ad-
ministration officials today with the
statement that while they did not

ing them, there was no foundation In
fact for such conclusions.
There were Indications that the
government here rather was Inclined
to feel that the President should
haye been advised of Viscount Grey's
expressions before they We're pub
lished
White House officials said the
President all during his illness has
been receiving communications in
writing and that diplomats were not
prevented from intercourse with him,
although 1t might not be personal
one.
Viscount Grey, writing as private
citizen, expressed approval of the
Lodge reservations and reminded the
British public that membership IN
the League Of Nations was wide
departure from the prior policy Of
the American government.
Secretary Lansing said publish ed
reports that the American govern
ment had sent letter of protest 10
the British government regarding
the Grey letter were without the
slightest foundation. He added that
he had not even discussed the matter
with White House officials.
The move to put a new cloture pro-
vision into the Senate rules In time
to curb debate on the peace treaty
next week, fiattened out today when
the rules committee referred whole
question of cloture to sub-commit=
tee, which will not meet for several
