The treaty with its league covenant, tentative plans provide, will be dalled up about 2 o'clock tomorrow alternoon by Chairman Lodge of the foreign re- lations committee and will be kept continuously betore the senate in “open executive” session until the final vote on ratification is taken several weeks hence. Coincident with the bringing the treaty, Senator McCumber, ilican, North Dakota, who refused to| join his republican colleagues on the foreign relations committee, in the re- porting of amendments and who de- clined to approve the majority's res ervation to Article Ten of the league covenant, will file an individual report, Because of the cnormous lengih of the document, the formal “first read- ing’ will be dispensed with and treaty taken up article by article. This plan probably will bring an earlier trial of strength possibly tomorrow—with the reaching of Article Three of the league covenant, in which 1s defined the vot- ing power of the various powers in the league council and assembly. The for- {eign relations committee majority has recommended an amendment o the article in the form of o proviso stipu lating that the United States shail have a vote in the assembly cqual to the aggregate vote of any nation hav- ing self-governing colonies and do- ions, also members of the league. This amendment, fostered by Sena- tor Johnson. republican. California. is aimed to make the voting power of the | United States equal to that of Great Britain and her dominions. Vegotiations are to be continued| & the week between the “mild”| rastic” reservationists. As the question of reservations will not be up of repub- il taken up until the treaty is consid- ered article by article, the reservation | controversy will not soon be brought| to a head.
