It found itself confronted with the first reservation to be offered and there was a general belief this was attract- ing substantial support. me members saw it as the issue upon which the opposition will wage its fight for rejection of the treaty or post- ponement of a vote until Fall. ‘The reservation, proposed by Senator Norris, independent Republican, Ne- braska, would have the Senate ratify the treaty “with the distinct and im- plicit understanding” it is not modified by any documents extraneous to itself and that it is accompanied by no col- lateral secret understandings. Advocates of the treaty were divided in their attitude toward the Norris pro- posal. Some insisted it be approved. Others indicated they would vote for it if the preamble, telling of the Presi- dent's refusal to produce the docu- ments, is eliminated. Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl- vania, a member of the delegation to London, was outspoken in his opposi- tion. Chairman Borah of the Foreign Relations Committee, withheld judg~ ment pending study of the question.
