Treaty Status
Is Outlined by
Hannis Taylor

The present status of the
peace treaty was explained last
night as follows by Hannis
Taylor, former American AM
bassador to Spain and a recog-
nized authority on international
law:
The rejection of the peace
treaty by the Senate and its
return to the President brings
the entire matter to an end.
The only thing the President
can do is to initiate a new
treaty which would have to be
entirely acceptable to the SEN
ate.
The practical thing now will
be the adoption of the Knox
resolution which, If vetoed, will
doubtlessly be passed over the
PreSdent's veto. Thereafter the
United States and Germany
will proceed in their relations
on the basis of former treaties
and in accordance with the
principles Of international law"

KEEPS
TREATY PLAN
TO HIMSELF
Report of Popular Referen-
dunn Given Little
Credence.
by ROBERT +. BARRY.

In the broad speculation yestcr-
cay as to President Wilson'S next
move nsthe, ma tier OF tho treaty
was a suggestion that he might ask
for a special referendum by the
American people. There appeared
TO be no basis nor possibility of
such action by him. Conservative
opinion dismissed the gossip as un-
worthy of serious consideration.
1t was given credence only by
those persons who constantly look
to Mr.. Wilson to do the totally un-
expected. They cited some of his
recent appointments as justification
for such unusual conjecture as to
his reply to the Senate's failure to
ratify the treaty and its return to
him.
jackson Day Prophecy.
The rumor gained lis greatest
consideration from the fact that
such a form of solemn referen-
dunn was suggested in White House
circles on the morning after the
jackson Day dinner, at which the
President suggested submission of
the treaty to the people.
Despite these considerations all
of the conservative opinion in
Washington pooh poohed the idea
of the President calling for a spe-
cial referendum White House Of
ficials contended following the Jack
son Day banquet that the President
may have had special referendum
in mind and it was stated that the
necessary machinery for such an
expression by the people could be
provided within sixty DAYS. or
ninety days at the most.

London. March 21.-The allies to-
day are confronted with a double
dilemma. In Germany and United
States they must deal with govern
mcnts which, while officially speak
ing for the nation, apparently and
actually do not represent the opinion
of a united nation. The peace
treaty's defeat in Washington has
cnly added to the confusion. AL
though the Senate's action had long
been discounted, the allied govern
ments are in the unfortunate posi-
tion of not knowing what attitude
to take on pending questions with
America.
An official expressing quite gen.
eral sentiment and also rejecting
the allied attitude, said;
obviously we cannot ignore
your President. We cannot say

late vote that 1 expect a third party
in the field at the coming Presfden-'
tial election, NTH the b'Egar part

this city today for a fortnights rest
following the strain OF the treaty
Senatorial fight.
II do not look for the President to
return the Versailles document to
the Senate for the present but be-
lieve he will wait Developments.
ITO my mind. the coming national
election will be to decide on issues
rather than candidates OF the two
older parties. which will allow a
graceful entrance for a third party"
said the Nebraskan. The league of
nations and the treaty being SO
closely related will offer the oppor-
tunity. There are Senators, such as
Hiram johnson. of California, and
Borah, of Idaho, who have fol-
lowing, who frown upon the league
of nations in its entirety. and to
those two Senators I look for the
introduction of the triangular
party" he said. Candidates for
both the Democratic and Republic.

rampant over the country, the same
as local candidates for justice OF

dissension in issues and the line OF
demarkation drawn on these two
documents will undoubtedly germi-
nate a third party growth" said
