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."
