Parliamentary TangIes Must Be
Removed Before Debate
Can Be Begun.
LONG CONTEST AHEAD
Leaders See Some Hope of Ratif'ea.
ton But Others Believe Con-
troversary Will Go Into Pres
idential Campaign.

Washington.-The Treaty Of Versail-
les which has lain In a parliamentary
pigeonhole since November while q
basis for its ratification was unsuccess.
fully sought in private negotiations
has been brought formally before the
Senate again.
Although prompt agreement is ex-
pected generally on many OF the minor
paints at issue q long and better con-
test is forecast over Article 10 and
perhaps a few other treaty provisions.
The leaders on both sides profebs to
see some hope of ratification but some
other senators believe the deadlock
certain to continue until the contro-
versy has been fought out in the presi'
Dental campaign. Republican and
Democratic leaders plan to cooperate
in untangling the parliamentary re-
strictions which must be removed from
about the treaty to permit it again to
be considered and to rid it of the clo-
ture imposed in November. These
parliamentary technicalities are ex-
pected to delay tho beginning Of &C.
tual debate for several days.
Wilson Letter Chief Topic.
Aside from the outstanding issues
of the treaty fight itself the most
prominent subjects of discussion
among senators was the letter Of Pres
ident Wilson laid before the Demo
cratic conference and made public by
Senator Hitchcock. the Democratic
leader. Tho Presidents renewed de-
claration OF opposition to some OF the
language of some Of tho Republican
reservations was interpreted in diff
ferent ways by the various clements
in the Senate situation. Some de-
clared the letter an uncompromising
reiteration of tho stand taken by the
President on the eve of the November
ratification vote and asserted that pub
LEGATION of his letter at this time again
had widened the breach between the
Democratic and Republican senate
forces. Others protesting to see new
evidences of concession in the Presi-
dents words predicted an opposite
effect.
Although the Presidents letter was
written before publication of the state
ment by Viscount Grey. British ambas-
sador to the United States, regarding
reservations in some quarters it was
suggested that the letter would not
have been permitted to have become
public if the British statesman's views
had resulted in any change in the Pres
ident's position.
