PEACE TREATY FIGHT IN SENATE THIS WEEK ‘Washington, April 11.—The fight over the republican resolution to es- tablish peace with Germany without ratification of the treaty of Versailles, adopted last week by the house, will shift tomorrow io the senate with prospect of indefinite controversy. The vote in" the house was 242 to 150, and the resolution is to be transmitted formally to the senate tomorrow for reference to the foreign relations com- mittee. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman and republican leader, plans to bring the resolution before the committee probably on Wednesday. Action before next week, however, was not expected. Much revision of the resolution expected. Several influential repub- lican senators favor modifications, The measure may be limited to a simple declaration terminating the war, although a statement of Ameri- can policv is favored in some quar- ters on the republican side. Senate republicans are expecteg to show practicaily a soMd support for the resolution as it comes from com- mittee, leaders said. The democrats, administration spokesmen said. were as certain to be solig in opposition. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader in the treaty fight, was enroute tonight to Nebras- ka for the presidential primary cam- paign. Bef#Pe leaving he said he ex- pected no action by the foreign rela- tions committee until he returned. He also predicted a long fight in the sen- ate over the peace resolution and was hopeful of some republican votes against it. Some senators said they woulq not be surprised if the president returned the treaty to the senate during de- bate on the peace resolution which now appears likely to continue indefi- nitely. Republican leaders are plan- ning to avoid interference with the re- maining appropriation bills, giving them the right of way as they become ready. They hope, however, to clear up all pressing business, including the peace measure, before the recess planneq about June 1 for the political conventions. The withdrawal of all German troops no lenger needed in the Ruhr district has already begun.
