COP. Senators See Hard Fight
Ahead Because of "Ir-
reconcilables."
BY J. BART Campbell,
International NsNs Service.

The possible danger of the four
power Pacific treaty being tied up
indefinitely, rewritten or having res
ervations attached to it in the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee was
already engaging the attention of
Republican leaders of the Senate
today.
s7r Lodge Seen Displaced. @-l
A combination of the 'irreconcil-
ables" and the Wilson Senators on
the committee would take the control
of the situation out Of the hands OF
Senator Lodge, the committee chair
man, II was pointed out.
Senator Borah (RepD of Idaho,
leader of the 'irreconcilable is one
of the most active of the COMMITTEES
members. He and Senator Lodge
will meet face to face across the
committee table, and Borah has an
nounced his intention of questioning
Lodge closely, not only with regard
to the four-power pact, but regard
ing everything else that has tran
spired at the secret sessions OF the
armament conference.
1t is understood that Borah also
will seek to have the sessions OF the
Foreign Relations Committee made
public when it is considering the four
power pact and other treaties nego-
tiated at the armament conference.
Wilson Was Quizzed.
When the Versailles treaty was be-
fore the committee. it held a series
Of open sessions at which Secretary
Of State Lansing and other American
delegates at the Versailles conference
revealed much that had taken place
at its secret sessions. 1t also is re-
called that the full Foreign Relations
Committee visited the White House
to interrogate President Wilson re-
garding the Versailles pact, and that
what took place between him and the
committee members was subsequently
made public.
Secretary Hughes Is understood 70
have expressed willingness to
appear before the committee when 1t
takes up the decisions of the confer
ence, and it also is expected that Presi-
dent Harding will receive the COM
mittee at the White Hiuse after the
four power and the other conference
treaties are submitted to the Senate
and formally referred to the committee.
The lineup in the committee is ex-
pected to foreshadow the lineup in
the Senate on the decisiins of the con-
ference, the committee being repre-
sentative of the divergence of opinion
which has developed among Senators
Of both parties regarding the four
power and other treaties.
Hard Road Seen Ahead.
There are sixteen members of the
committee through whose hands all of
the treaties must pass before they can
be ratified by the Senate. 1t il re-
called that the Versailles treaty
emerged from the committee in a form
much altered from that in which Mr..
Wilson submitted IL to the Senate.
The Republican members number

 Those who are helped by the pro- fessional aiders of border-junpers are guided after they enter the United States until they reach a place in which they are more or~less secure.
 They leave trains at points some distance from the border and com piete their journey by motor car The border is crossed in various ways, the methods depending upon the number of men in a party.
 Not long ago. when delegates to a convention made a sightseeing trip to Mexican town on the border, an agent guiding a party of border Jumpers was in some way able to get badges similar to those worn by the delegates. These he distributed among the. members of his party. They were able to cross without in. terferrence and board a train for the interior of the United States Usually, however. the agents do not put their parties aboard trains at inn
