FRIENDS OF TREATY SENATE HOPEFUL : Defeat of Johnson Amendment Freely Predicted. 4 60 VOTES HELD PROMISED - Pact Should JJe Ratified Without J. Delay, Says Robert Lansing, Secretary of State. WASHINGTON", Sept. 20. Democratic leaders in the senate challenged today the claim of republican opponents of the league of nations, covenant that enough pledges had been obtained, to secure adoption of Senator Johnson's amendment designed to equalise British and American voting power in the league assembly. While they expressed supreme confidence and predicted at least 50 votes against the amendment enough to defeat it these senators finally got . in touch with Vice-Prei-deht Marshall insisting: tlvat he return in time for the first Veal test vote on the treaty, expected next week. The senate was not in session and Chairman Lodge of the foreign rela tions committee was not at his office during th& day, and republicans say they had rested on their oars, waiting for the contest Monday. Mild" Party Cuata Noses. "Mild" reservationists, some of whom claimed to hold the balance of power, were active conferring and counting noses to see how many of their num ber would vote against the Johnson amendment. Some of their claims ran as high as eight. . Both sides were expecting: help from this group, but there was no -certainty as to how the majority might line up. Democratic leaders, in predicting 50 v les against the Johnson amendment, out of a total of 96. counted on- the support of many of this group, in view of the general belief that five demo crats would be found with the repub licans in the lineup on the amendment fight. Hitchcock for Haste. ! Senator Hitchcock said today that every effort would be made to hasten consideration of the treaty because of the "insistent demand" from business people for final settlement. There was no indication, however, as to how soon a vote might be called for on the John son amendment. WATERTOWN, N. T., Sept. 20. 'The treaty should be ratified without delay and without change," declared Secre tary of State Robeit Lansing here to day in the first public utterance made by him since the statement of William 'C. Bullitt before . the senate foreign relations committee in which it was" alleged that the secretary of state on May 19 in Paris said that if the Ameri can people knew what was In - the treaty they -would .deleat.-iC- -Sovereignty Hel Safe. "In the treaty of peace," Mr. Lansing further said, "there is nothing which invades the sovereignty of this republic or which limits in any way the full exercise of such sovereignty," Mr. Lansing spoke at the dedication of Lansingdorf, a -suburb of Water town, erected fey the government to hou.se munition workers and named in honor of the home of the Lansing fam ily in Holland. He made no direct reference Xo the-Bullitt testimony, con leitting himself with saying that the treaty as if is should be- ratified. " . ; IVevr Era Approaching. "We are approaching a new era," he said, "an era of peace, and. as I con fidently believe, an era of national prosperity unsurpassed in our history. The people of . the earth ardently long to enter upon this era that they may begin to rebuild that which has been destroyed. This cannot be done until normal commercial and industrial con ditions are restored and they can only be restored by ratifying the treaty of peace. "In the treaty there is nothing which invades the sovereignty of this repub lic or which limits in any way the full exercise of such sovereignty. "There may be in the treaty features which do not meet universal approval. It would be strange if it were other wise. But the objections which have been made to certain provisions are trivial compared with the imperative need of peace. Peace Keedd at Once. "We ought to have peace at once. The treaty should, be ratified .without delay and without change. "It is a - narrow-minded statesman ship which would endanger the going into effect of. the treaty by changing its provisions and thereby postponing the return of peace. I cannot compre hend how any man with a true ap preciation of the situation can permit any objection less than the impairment of the national sovereignty of the United States to weigh against the uni versal "rayer of the nation for the restoration of peace."
