Johnson Refuses to Say He Will

DefiantIy Declares He VIII
Back BOrah to Limit.

Chicago. June 10.-A surrender by
the reservationist forces, headed by
Murray Crane of Massachusetts,, today
suddenly changed the aspect of the
fight in the resolutions committee
over the treaty plank and in the opin-
ion of party leaders. greatly reduced
the danger of a contest on the floor
of the convention.
The Crane forces in the subcom-
mittee of the resolutions committee
agreed to a plank which omitted the
thing for which they have been bat
tling-for an affirmative declaration
for ratification of the treaty with
reservations.
The reservadonists were given con-
cessions by the Borah-Johnson group
of bitter enders" in the matter of
phraseology. but Senator Borah de-
clared after the agreement that the
principle of no affirmation in favor
of ratification had been conceded.
Affects Johnson's Status.
The subcommittee was to submit
the unanimous report on the treaty
plank to the full resolutions commit
tee this afternoon Leaders hoped,
they said. that it would be accepted
by the full committee.
When he learned of the action
taken by the subcommittee, Senator
Johnson, who had threatened to take
the QUeSLlOn 10 the COANSAlAOh IL
feated in the resolutions committee,
said:
"If the matter is settled as 1t has
been reported. I'll probably not go to
the convention. If it is not settled in
that way will go to the convention.
That disposes of the question of a
bolt or third party?" Johnson was
asked.
II don't know anything about that"
he replied.
1T disposes OF the first attack upon
the Republican party by International
ism and international bankers; that is
all. Well try to meet the second with
equal success"
Some political observers pointed out
that the apparent defeat Of the reser-
vationists4 may have been a strategic
move on the part of the Crane group
to get the foreign relations plank on
to the convention floor in its present
form and them Overwhelmingly defeat
