MARTIN United Press Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 16.—An arm- istice prevailed today in senate de- bate over the league of nations while leaders on both sides prepared for resumption of hostilities tomorrow. Senator Hitchcock, administration leader, who was prevented from see- ing President Wilson yesterday by the stormy session on the league, hoped to go to the White House to receive information in refuting argu- ments of league, opponents. Interest continued to center In the probability of a call by the foreign relations committee at the White House, Indications today were that no definite action will be taken on this until the reading of the peace treaty in committee has been fin- ished. By that time it will be ap parent what clauses need legislation, it was pointed out, and the com. mittee will be better able to decide whether it will be necessary to ques- tion President Wilson. The situation today remained about as it has been for 10 days. Some ad- vocates of reservations to the treaty were discouraged, except with regard to some “interpretative” phrases to be inserted in the resolution of ratifi- cation. The Shantung settlement appeared today to be a weak spot in the treaty. But even tho the hostility to this clause is very great, administration senators declared that when the country understands that a reserva- tion on this point might be taken in Japan as a serious affront, the pres- sure which will be brought to bear on the senate will insure acceptance even of Shantung.
