Statement by Lodge.
Marked attention was attracted by
the statement of Chairman Lodge OF
the Foreign Relations Committee in
answer to a query of Senator Harri
son (Miss). that so far as he knew
there was no set plan for resubmission
of the Versailles treaty to the Senate
In any form.
Senator Harrison called attention to
many rumors that had been current
to that effect and had appeared in
many Washington dispatches. and ap-
pealed to Mr.. Lodge to tell the Senate
whether the treaty is to be resub-
mitted, unless IT is a secret"
II have no secret" Mr.. Lodge re-
spcnded. There is no plan of resub-
mission of the treaty of Versailles of
which I have any knowledge what

He. stated further that it was not
necessary to have a treaty of peace
made at the same time with a treaty
Of amity and commerce and cited the
fact that at the csnclusion of the war
with Great Britain in 1912 there was
complete separation of these two
acts.
Senator Brandegee contributed to
this part of the discussion also by
saying there would be mo necessity
for any treaty of peace with Ger
many"
We will be at peace with Germany
when this resolution is approved by
the President" he said. and all the
necessary arrangements for adjusting
property involved can be included In

tion gave On advantage to Germany in
property rights involved In the war

American Government and its people.

parentIy by tacit agreement allowing
me Democrats to fight 1t out among
themselves.
Senator Brandegee, one Of the "irrec-
oncilables." in speaking briefly for the
resolution gave a yelled intimation of
Ghe fight that he and his irreconciIable
colleagues would make in case the
Versailles Treaty were submitted to
tho Senate no matter what it's form

document would be an "untoward
event." although he did not amplify

however. as a warning of the bitter
Republican controversy that may be
expected in the Senate If the Versailles
Treaty ever comes back to that body

Replying to questions from Democrats
a TO the return OF American troops
from Germany, Senator Brandegee said
at is his hope and expectation" that ap-
ton viii be followed by return of the
troops. 'Tf they are there to enforce
the tsrms of the Versailles treaty, as
some Of my Democratic colleagues have
intimated." he added, then there is all
the more reason. and my desire for IL is
greater, that they shall be returned
'My highest hope is that America
may get back to the peace status with
Germany" ne continued. "and mind her
own business so far as Europe will allow
US to do So"
