Covtnant of League of National Will
Be Ratified by .Republican Votes
Root Hrfs Program For Acceptance
With Reservations. 1
(Br Associated Press to The Obaerr)
WASHINGTON. June" 21. The
league of nations controversy in the
senate was enlivened today by devel
opments .expected as foreshadowing
the lines into which the final ratifi
cation fight may fall.
Elihu Root laid before the foreign
relations oommltteo a program lor ac
ceptance of the league, with, certain
reservations.
Senator Borah, Republican, M Ida
ho, gave notice in a sennto spen-h
that he could not remain in the Re
publican party if it failed to take n
more definite stand against the
league.
Senator. Hitchcock, Democrat, Ne- 1
braska, replied that no party dare
stant against the league proposal
and declared the covenant wa-ns
sured of ratification by Republican .
votes.
iScnntor Knox, Pennsylvania, decid
ed to call for a showdown of senat.
opinion Monday by bringing in his
resolution, doclaring the treaty cut
not be accepted with the league oove- 1
nant attached. V .'
Root's Plan May Effect Unity.
Of these developments the recom
mendation of Mr. Root, presented at
the conference with league opponent.,
attracted widest discussion tonight be
cause it was regarded as embodying
plan on which an appeal is likely
to be made for unity of action by all
of thoso who do not fully approve tho
Pans covenant.
The. reservation which Mr. Root
suggested should be written into tho
senate's ratification resolution would
be designed to soften the nntion's ob
ligation guaranteeing the integrity of
foreign countries and to further safe'
guard the Monroe doctrine, the- right
of withdrawal from the league and the
determination of domestic problems.
These reservations could be made, de
clared Root, in harmony with tho tra-
litinns of diplomacy and without en4
dangering the other league provisions
Senator Horah threatened withdraw
al, from his party during a' sharp de
bate started when the Idaho senator
read into the record' a petition signed
by 28 eminent New York Republicans
asking that the peace treaty be rati
fied without delay. Among the sign-'
crs were George W. Wicket-sham, for
mer ntlorncy general, and -Oscar- S.
Strauss, former ambassador to Tur
key, who was bitterly assuiletl.by Mr.
Borah.
