tBN MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED W'1Fl
Washington, March 19.-The
treaty of Versailles failed of ratifi-
cation for the fourth time tonight,
and then the senate voted to
send IL back to President Wilson
with a notification that it had final
ly "refused to advise and consent to
its ratification"
On the decisive roll call the vote
was 49 for ratification and 80
against, the opposition numbering
in its ranks twenty democrats who
were unwilling to see the treaty go
through with the republican reser-
vations objected to by the presi-
dent, and three democratic and
twelve republican irreconcilables
Twenty-one democrats quit the
presidents lead and voted for rat
ification, but the detection failed
by seven votes of providing the
two thirds requisite to ratify."
The result was regarded every
where in the capitol as having put
over into the pol teal campaign for
decision the long and bitter fight
between the chief executive and the
senate majority. The move to re-
consider the vote and try once more
to ratify collapsed in its inception,
leaders on both sides agreeing that.
further ratification efforts would
be a waste of time as long as the
senate membership remains at is.
Whether the president would re-
turn the treaty to the senate re-
mained undetermined, but the re-
publicans served notice that If he
did, it would repose for many
weeks in a committee pigeon hole,
In the vote of Az to 81 by which
the senate washed its hands of the
subject and sent the treaty to the
White House, the republican lead
ers had the support of the mild res
ervationists as well as the irrecon-
cilables of their party while the
democrats voted almost solidly in
opposition.
The next step planned by the
senate majority is a declaration OF
a state of peace to relieve the ma
ton of the war status which the
democrats maintain can be ended
only by the treaty's ratification. A
fight on that proposal probably Will
begin when the senate reconVenes
Monday.
The roll call on ratification came
four months, almost to the hour,
after the failure of the three at
tempts at ratification on November
l9. on that occasion the greatest
strength developed for ratification
with the republican reservations
