the progress OF the conference. 1t is
not said he has not communicated with
the former President directly or indi-
rectly, simply there Is no proper basis
for the suppOsition he has sought coun-
sci at the S street house.
The Democratic leader proposes to
Withhold his challenge for a party pow

shall have been concluded. 1t is entirely
probable he will not act next week,
should the conference adjourn on Satur-
day as is hoped, but would withhold
action until the treaties actually are be-
fore the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee. The party leaders then would
have had opportunity to study the con-
ventions to arrive at certain personal
conclusions. They would be prepared to
ask questions, to pry into causes for
certain settlements, to seek light on
causes and effects.

Underwood, in pursuit Of such policy,
viii find himself in clash-at-arms with
the former President. Very specific state
ments have come from Senators who con-
fered with Mr.. Wilson. They said he

far more by inclusion Of all the nations
