PEACE TREAY MUST CO INTO CAMPAIGN Senate Deadlock Can Not Be Broken DEBATE STOPS SOON Leaders Have Apparently Reached Conclusion That Nothing Can Be Done Now. Washington, March 1.-Convinced that for the present their labors to break tho peace treaty deadlock are. a waste of time senate leaders moved today to get the treaty out of the way of pressing legislation and to let the issues raised by the ratification fight into the political campaign for decis ion. Under the plan agreed to and ap parently acquiesced in by all elements of both parties, compromise negotia tions on the crucial reservation to Ar ticle 10 are to be dropped, readoption of the Republican reservation program of last session is to he completed as a formality, an(d the final vote on rati fication is to be taken to put the treaty out of the senate and into the cam paign. Some senatora predicted tonight that the final vote, which wiil record an other failure to ratify would come within the next three days. Among most of the leaders however, the pre diction was that the smoldering de bate would take at least the rmeainder of the week to burn itself out in spite of general cooperation to P:eep it sharply under control. The decision to hasten action was reached when the Republican leaders, convinced the Democrats would block ratification unless the Article 10 res ervation were modified, determined to stand by their guns and insist that the reservation go into the ratification res olution without any change of sub stance or of language. In this reaf firnation they acceded to a demand by the Republican irreconcilables op posed to ratification who had intimated that they might adopt methods of their own to wreck the Republican Philadelphii Grid B4 Are Guarantee - Philadelphia B Stat II Manning, u:mmmm it:tmi4Utmi UUmttttm Columnb aan Life imeU( ?::l**fl Co*?t~nlumbitttn: progarm if they saw signs of weaken- I ing on Article 10. ' The coup of the irreconcilables in n thus bring:ing the treaty fight to a d truce was a virtual repition of the e move by which, several weeks ago, I they ended the bi-partisan compromise J negotiations by bringing pressure to p bear on the Republican leaders when 1 an agreement seemed imminent. Hold- i ing the balance of power, their votes t have to be counted on by the Republi- s cans to adopt any of the proposed f reservations, and in addition they are t understood to have pointed out that if ( their counsels were disregerrded, they i easily could talk the treaty over into e the campaign under the senate's rule of unlimited debate. L In fact a program of extensive de- f bate already had been inaugurated by 1: the irreconcilables, members of the . group having held the floor several I hours each (lay during last week's ses- : sions. Under today's agreement they t are expected not only to discontinue e that program but to vote with the Re- I publicans as they did last session in adopting reservations. I The senate took no action on the a treaty during today's session which I was cut short by adjournment on ac- c count of the death of Senator Bank- I' head. Under unanimous soncent the o vote to have been taken today on the domestic questions reservation was n put over until tomorrow. t JERSEY "WETS" WIN VICTORY; v BEER BILL PASSES SENATE i - With Galleries Jammed as Never Be- n fore and Crowd Wild With Ap plause, "Drys" Lose Battle.
