By WILLIAM HARD.

The United States Senate seems
10 be boiling inwardIy with almost
every sort of suspicion and re-
sentiment against al efforts BY
the State Depar tlnsnt 10 lead Il
into any closer relations with any
part of the old world ii any way.
That Is the main inward fact

So is the proposed treaty with
Rumania, and SO Is the proposed
commercial treaty with Germany.
We are today without any COM

AS for the Senate resolution
bringing the United States into the
