HOUSE VOTES TODAY
ON WILSON'S VETO
Republicans Generally Admit
Effort Will Be Futile, but
Desire Record
BY the Associated Press

Washington, May 2S.--Though Re-
publicans generally conceded there was
not chance of overriding the veto, the
House expects today to vote on the
question Of repassing the peace resolu-
tion which the President yesterday sent
back to Congress unsigned, with the
statement that he could not agree to
such program because he considered
1t would place Fan ineffaceable stain"
on the nations honor.
Leaders predict that the House roll
call would fall short only a few votes
said an attempt in the Senate to over
ride the veto would be hopeless.
A record vote. however, had been
planned in order that the matter might
be disposed of promptly and in order
that the records might show that Mr..
Wilson, and not Congress, was to blame
because the nation continues technically
to be in state of war with the central
powers.
Both Senate and House leaders for
the most part refrained from discussing
the situation further than to reiterate
that the issues Of the treaty must be
fought out in the coming political cam
paigns. unless the President soon again
submits the treaty to the Senate. con =
temptation of which he did not indicate
in. his message yesterday.
To establish technical peace by such
method. the President said in his
veto message. would be to effect "a
complete surrender Of the rights Of the
United States. so far as Germany is
concerned" and to rclinquish all the
high purposes which led the nation into
war. and which were embodied in the
rejected treaty Of Versailles.
In his message the President did not
indicate whether he might again sub
nit the treaty to the Senate for rati
| ficaticn. but he said the resolution
raised again the question of whether
thS United States cared to draw apart
from the rest Of the world or to ioir
with other nations in, attaining, the ends
to which the treaty was framed.
The message went first to the House
where its reading was greeted with
cheers by Democrats and dcrision by
Republicans.
