Washington, Feb. 18. The effect of the latest development in the Adriatic situation has been a slowing up movement in the Senate to ratify the Treaty.

There is a disposition amongst Senators to mark time until they see the effect of President Wilson's attitude. Some Senators would feel a relief if the •Treaty was withdrawn from the Senate, since it would save them casting a vote which might cause the loss of their constituencies at the coming elections.— Aus.-N.Z, Cable Assn,

NO FURTHER CONCESSIONS.

ATTITUDE'OF THE REPUBLICANS.

Washington, Feb. 10. According to the Tribune it is fell here that the resignation of Mr. Robert Lansing (Secretary for State) has strengthened the stand of the Republican Senators regarding the Treaty and weakened the Democrats. It is now expected that the Republicans will not offer further concessions for Treaty compro-mises.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. VOTES OF THE DOMINIONS. THE ATTITUDE OF CANADA. Ottawa, Feb. 16. The Acting-Secretary of State for Internal Affairs, Mr. Rowel, in a speech, said that if the United States Senate adopted reservations depriving the Dominions of a vote in the League of Nations there would not be any doubt what, Canada's action would be. She could not, and would not, consent to any impairment of her status and voting power under the Treaty. Canada has asked the authorities in London to make her attitude clear to the authorities in Washington.—Aus • N.2. Cable Assn.
