WASHINGTON", Dec. 13. The first iefinite move toward breaking the senate deadlock on the German peace jtreaty came unexpectedly late today on the heels of nearly three hours of heated discussion of responsibility for the treaty situation. Senator Knox asked immediate con sideration for two resolutions. One would revive his former proposal for ratification of the treaty, so far as it would establish peace between the l-nited States and Germany; the other was similar to the pending Lodge resolution, and would declare a state of peace with Germany by action of congress, with approval of the president. Senator Hitchcock objected to con sideration of both resolutions and. under the rules, the entire matter went over until next week. Agreement Kalla to Bind. Mr. Hitchcock's objections were -made despite an agreement by Sena tor Underwood, Alabama; Senator Brandegee, republican, Connecticut, leader in the faction seeking- the treaty's defeat, and others to support the Knox resolution. Senator Knox' proposals came after hot exchanges between republican and democratic leaders over the status of the treaty. It was 'coincident with reports from European capitals that .the negotiations were under way to ward acceptance of some senate res ervations with a view to bringing America into the foreign peace con ferences. Overtures for a' compromise on the treaty came from both republican and democratic sides. During debate Sen ator Lodge declared that President "VVilson must take the initiative to ward reviving action on the treaty, but offered to consider carefully any 'suggestions with regard to the sen ate committee reservations Mr. Wil ton might make. Hitchcock Vrsea Compromise. Senator Hitchcock urged a com promise through a committee of con ciliation and said he "held out the .olive branch." He said he would make no motion to bring up the treaty until some understanding had been reached in conference between repub lican and democratic leaders. "The time for debate has passed," tie said. "I think it would be very unwise to bring it in and have it kicked around like a football." The first resolution provided that the senate "unreservedly advises and con sents to the ratification of this treaty insofar as it provides for the crea tion of a status of peace between the United States and Germany." The second was a joint resolution declaring that a state of peace ex ists between the United States and Germany. . Senator Underwood said the do crease In foreign exchange rates and cancellation of export orders placed in the United States indicated an "acute" situation. No effort has been made by repub lican leaders to get in touch with the president and work out a compro mise, the senator said. Kxception was taken by Senator King, democrat. Utah, who said "re sponsibility is as much on the demo crats as on the other side of the chamber." Senator Lodge said ratification of the treaty either with or without reservations would have .no. more ef fect on the rates of exchange than would the tide. ' Discussion of the treaty was started by Senator Underwood during debate on the railroad bill, blocking progress on the latter for about three hours. Calling attention to press Teports that because peace is not established American export trade Is being in jured and business and industrial conditions remain unsettled. Senator Underwood declared the republican majority was responsible for inaction on the treaty and urged prompt rati fication. Senator Lodge declared that Presi dent Wilson was "immovable" in his position for unreserved ratification. Only the president "can resurrect the treaty," he said, by withdrawing and re-submitting it to the senate. Conciliation lit Vrged. Senator Underwood suggested a "conciliation committee" to negotiate with the president, but this plan Sen ator Lodge re.lected. Senator Hitch cock then suggested committees of conciliation representing the repub licans and democrats to work out a I compromise. Senator Lodge replied that the president first must act, but reiterated his willingness to give careful consideration to any proposals made. Exchange between the leaders had become sharp when Senator Knox proposed that to secure a status of peace with Germany the senate adopt his plan, rejected last November, to ratify the treaty unreservedly so far as peace terms are concerned, but without action on the league of nations. Vnderwood Support Plaa. Senator Underwood agreed to sup port the pla.t so far as he personally was concerned as the "price of peace." Senator Knox then formally pro posed immediate consideration in open executive session of his resolu tion and Senator Hitchcock promptly objected. Mr. Knox immediately asked similar action on the resolu tion to declare a state of peace with Germany and again Senator Hitch cock objected. Republican leaders said tonight that with the support of Senator Under wood and other democrats for an im Aicdiate measure to establish peace with Germany and suspend action on the league of nations, there now ap peared prospect of a way out "of the deadlock. In calling up the resolution for declaration of peace with Germany Senator Knox changed its form from a concurrent resolution as proposed originally by Senator Lodge to a joint resolution, requiring action by the house and also approval by the president. His ratification resolu tion also was altered from its origi nal language as rejected during the special session. As presented today it reads; "Resolved, that the senate of the United States unreservedly advises and consents to the ratification of the treaty of Versailles insofar only as it provides for the creation of a status of iieace between the 'United states and Germany." The second resolution,- following the form of the Lodge measure, pro posed that congress declare "that peaoe exists between the United States and Germany."
