Executive order modifying the pass

London, Sept 20-(By the Asso-

is the view expressed both in London
and Dublin of Premier Lloyd
Georges latest note to canon de
Valera in which the premier invites
the leaders of the Sim Fein to a
conference in London, Oct il in an
endeavor to settle the Irish contro-

Mr.. Lloyd George makes as the
basis of the note the offer of a con
ference with a view to ascertaining
how the association of Ireland with
the community Of nations known as
the British empire may best be rec
onciied with Irish national aspira
tons"
1t is understood that various mem
bers of the British cabinet are OF the
opinion that there is nothing in the
communication to prevent the pro
posed conference. This certainly
appears to be the belief held by the
London public and press: and the
comments thus far received from
Dublin speak of the extreme graft
1ication" the communication is caus-
ing there.
CnlonlSt opinion in Ulster. accord
ing to Belfast reports reaching Lon
don, is that the note makes il easier
for Mr.. De Valera to agree TO an
other meeting
Informal discussions among the
Sim Fein leaders are said to have
been held in Dublin this afternoon
and this evening. This is considered
as lending strength to the report
mat Mr.. De Valera will have the
graft Of his reply to Mr.. LLOYD

Party Question-Sen. Wat
son Opposes

Washington. Sept. Naturalization
by the Senate in a fortnight of the
administration peace treaties with
Germany, Austria and Hungary
doomed as q prospect tonight after
Republican and Democratic leaders
during the day had discussed a pro-
posed unanimous consent agreement
drafted by Senator Lodge, the Re-
publican leader, takes the final votes
October "A to Is. Both expressed
hopes Of obtaining a formal order of
the Senate tomorrow providing for
such a program and all factions ex-
pressed opinion that the agreement
would be reached.
Announcement of the negotiations
was made in the Senate late today
by Senator Lodge and with the dis
cussions showing evidences of sue
cess. the Republicans dropped their
plan for night session tonight.
Senator Lodge minated however,
that should the a agreement be block
cd he would return to the night SEES
sion drive for ratification. Mr. Lodge
said he had every reasonable hope
OF reaching an agreement and Sen
ator Underwood, the Democratic
leader, also said an agreement had
been practically reached and was
ready for contamination tomorrow.
Involved in the program is pro-
posal that should any Senator desire
to debate the treaties the tax revi-
arily. however, that the tax measure
actually will be before the Senate
most of next week. with the follow
ing week. preceding the date for vot
ing. largely devoted to the treaties.
The movement for voting agree
ment developedtoday in a conference
of Democratic senators who declared
unanimously against the Republican
plan for night sessions and authoriz
ed overtures by Senator Underwood
to the Republicans for voting
a agreement. The Democrats reaffirm
ed their stand against making rati-
fication a party question and left
each senator free to vote as he shall
determine.
The only address IN the Senate on
the treaties today was by Senator
Watson, Democrat, Georgia. who OPP
posed ratification because he said he
believed they would drag the United
States into the League Of Nations
and European entanglements. Ever
since President Harding's Inaugural
ton. Senator Watson declared the
nation has been drifting iresistibly"
into the League.
He also contended that the treaties
failed to provide for release of Am
erican citizens who had violated the
espionage laws. Referring apparent
" to Eugene Y. Debs. he said man
was serving a ten year sentence in
the Atlanta penitentiary for repeat
ing his CMr. Watson's) words.
Because he repeated a part Of a
speech I made" said Senator Wat
ton, that consumption was uncon
stitutional, shouldn't he be in the
senate and l in the penitentiary? He
didn't say thing moro than l have
said here in the Senate and l think
I'm in better company than he is,
