TRACES AND PASSES
IRISH RESOLUTION
rRepubrican A.P. Leased wirel

L
WASHINGTON, March 1S-Proceed-
ing under forced draft to reach final
ratification vote on the peace treaty
tomorrow the senate broke from con-
troll of the republican leaders today
and unexpectedly swept into the re-
publican reservation program declar-
alton of sympathy for self government
in Ireland.
The proposal won out in committee
of the whole by vote of 38 to SO after
an all day debate. On a necessary
second vote, this action was confirmed.
45 to 3S.
During the debate democratic leaders
supported the reservation and the
managers on the republican side op-
posed it because it included a general
declaration that this nation adhered TO
the principle of the Self-determinatio ton
of people. On the first roll call 21
democrats and IL republicans, includ-
ing the irreconcilable foes of the treaty,
voted for adoption, while 20 republi-
cans and 16 democrats were recorded
in the negative.
Ratification Vote Today
Revival of the Irish question pro-
longed int othe night the senate's task
of putting into final form the resolu-
tion of ratification upon which it is
planned to bring vote tomorrow. One
after another, a long list of miscel-
laneous reservations were voted down
with the leaders bent on completing
their task before adjournment
The outcome of the ratification vote
was not generally regarded as having
been influenced by the days develop
ments. though a number of republicans
counted on to vote to ratify, including
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, party
leader, expressed bitter disapproval of
the Irish reservation in it's final form.
On all sides the prediction was made
that the treaty would fail to receive
the necessary two thirds, though some
senators thought that on a second roll
call, which probably will be taken be-
fore the attempt to ratify is given up
enough democrats to put 1t through
would join the majority.
The text of the Irish reservation as
introduced by Senator Gerry, demo-
crat of Rhode Island, and adopted by
the senate, follows:
