SHORT DEBATE

empty seats. or IL the Administra-
ton forces refused to be drawn into

policy OF attrition would prove ef-

Democratic Senators opposed to the
pact like Hitchcock OF Nebraska,

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts.

| He signified that neither he nor
any other Republican Senator favor
ing the past had any intention OF
delivering set speeches on 1t. or Of
even combating most OF the argu-
ments advanced against ii by its
Senatorial critics.
Lodge also indicated that he and
his followers on the Republican side
felt that all. that could be said in
explanation or support Of the treaty

President Harding and himself. and
that the burden Of proof that it
