 Senator Lodge, in inaugurating debate for the day, told the Senate that treaties with Germany and others with other na- tions with which the United States has been at war would follow the Knox reso- lution. He also gave notice that the United States would not abandon the allies.
 Substitutes for the Knox resolution prepared by Senator King, democrat. Utah, were not offered. MT.
