1 formal canvasses of republican and democratic leaders were said to show about dozen senators in opposition three of them republicans.
 A notable accession today to the opposition ranks was Senator Will Hams of Mississippi, veteran demo- cratic member of the foreign rela- tions committee. Although he had declared himself previously in favor of ratification, Senator Williams an nounced to the Senate that he had decided finally to vote against it, be- cause "desertion of the allies was in- volved"
 l Democratic senators will meet to- morrow to discuss their positions. Senator Underwood of Alabama, dem- l ocratic leader, issued the conference call after consulting Senator Hitch cock of Nebraska, ranking minority member of the foreign relations com 1 mittee. It was said there was no in- i tention to caucus, or bind senator's, on the ratification vote. The treaty was given top place, as some senators were not ready to debate the tax revision bill, and, | l., ] will come up first again tomorrow
 Lodge Urges Ratification Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, republican leader, urged prompt rat ificaton, while Senator Borah, of Idaho, republican "irreconciable" spoke two hours in opposition. An other republican irreconciable," Senator Brandegee, of .Connecuticut and Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis mt n of l. fication
 Asserting that the new treaty would entangle this nation in Euro pean affairs, Senator Borah em- phasised predictions that America would be required to participate in the allied reparations commission and become involved In European af- fairs. Senator Brandegee declared against such participation.
 Why He Opposes Pact
 Senator Williams declared he was not against ratification because .ot the reasons given by Senator Borah. Deploring a policy of nat iopal isolation, Senator Williams said that at first, ''in moments of pes- sism," he had been inclined to sup port the new treaties. Later he. said had come feelings of disgust and desperation" and he had finally con cluded to oppose ratification be cause l will not be a party to any agreement that leaves out our allies and associates of the war and our boys and the other boys who u4 on the fields of battle"
 The new treaties, Senator Williams said, constituted ''aH ignominous and inglorious postscript" to American war history. He also said they lacked American guarantees of the German sessions of territory to France and Belgium. France, said the Mississippi senator could not agree to disarma- ment without assurances of safety against Germany. He said "the world could dsarm tomorrow" if the three power treaty between the United States Great Britain and France for military aid to France against Ger man aggression should be put into force.
