AMERICA AND PEACE.
SENATE'S ATTITUDE TO THE TREATY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, Dec. 8. It seems improbable that the Senate will take up either the Treaty or the resolution declaring the war with Germany over before the end of the Christmas recess, on January 5. The Democrats and Republicans disagree concerning the procedure necessary to bring the Treaty again before the Senate. Senator H. C. Lodge (Republican leader) asserts that the Treaty is dead, uuless President Wilson reintroduces it. Senator G. M. Hitchcock (Democratic leader) states that the Senate can ratify the Treaty without its re-submission by President Wilson. Mr. Samuel Gompers (President of the American Federation of Labor), in a speech, said the Senate rejected the Treaty for two reasons—the hope of political advantage and because the Treaty provided for an international minimum standard for the working people of the world.
