Treaty Left Dead"
REPUBLICANS MAY ASK
ATWO-THIRDS VOTE
Vice President Marshall, How
ever, Holds Majority May
Take Action-SIight Hope
In More Negotiations.

Washington, Jan. 3l.-A possible
foundation for another session or
senate debate on the peace treaty
was laid today by democratic leaders
as 4 sequel to the collapse yester-
dav Of bipartisan inf ormal negotla-
t;ons for a compromise on reserva-
tions.
Notice was served by Senator
Walsh, Montana, one OF the demo-
cratic members of the disbanded BIZ
PARTISAN committee, that Tuesday,
February 10, a motion would be
made TO resume consideration OF the
treaty in open senate. He spoke for
the democratic senate leader, Sen
ator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who
was absent. 49,.
The announcement developed no
debate. A little later, however, the
senate was given concrete reminder
OF the amount of oratory it already
had expended on the treaty.

Senator Smoot, republican, Utatl,
exhibited 5,000-page volume, con-
tanning 100000 words on the SUBJ
ject, spoken i'll the senate last sum-
mer and fall. ....s ......
Although vote is 10 days away,
there were indications that the divl-
sion in the senate might not be along
the. same linesvo Of demafkatiof that
have obtained generally during the
treaty fight.
The first impulse of some of the
senate's irreconcilable foes was to
vote for the democratic motion on
the theory that more discussion
would arouse further public opposi.
ton to ratification, while others OF
the irreconcilables held to the posi-
ton that the treaty was dead and
should be left dead.
Still Hope in Talk"
Some of the mild reservation re-
publicans were inclined to favor fur
ther debate as the only possible way
to ratification. but others believed
it only would consume time that
should be devoted to legislation
There have been intimations, too
that a number of democrats would
prefer to try some other method Of
private negotiation before reopenine
debate. ...
1t generally was predicted that i
the democratic move proved sue
cessful, as the party leaders said i
would, the line up behind it would
be combination of democrats, milo
reservationists and irreconcilables.
Republican leaders talked over th'
situation among themselves during
the day, but declined to make an,
predictions about the outcome.
! Want Two Thirds Vote.
| IT. was indicated, however, tina
the republican leaders would maxi
an effort to require two-thirds ma
jority for bringing the treaty befor
the senate. Under the rules, the.
said, two-thirds would be neces
sary, but it was pointed out tha
