Washington, July 15.—Forseeing complete victory for President Wilson in the senate, some league of nations opponents today were discussing a plan to make withdrawal from the league by the United States an issue in the 1920 campaign. The proposal was nebulous. No one was openly sponsoring it. Those who favor it will be ready to an- nounce it, however, the moment they think they will receive party support. - Senators; who have discussed this idea point out that two years i3 re~] quired for actual withdrawal and the issue in the election would be the ‘giving of notice to the league of this country’s intention to withdraw, which would get the United States out in 1923. By that time, senators T#“say, the United States would have done its share towards establishing Europe and will have the right to resume its nationalistic policy.
