J - TETO IS PREDICTED From an authoritative administration source, 'it was stated definitely that the president would veto the resolution and veto it quickly. What his next step will be was not revealed. f Administration officials called at ten tion to excerpts from an article written by Senator Lodge for the Foriim in De cember, ' 1918. This action was the first open blow aimed at treaty opponents from the White House since the senate returned the treaty to the president. THAT LOD6K ARTICLE I The part of the Lodge article as given out here read: 1 -1 "The president has delivered the war message and congress, who voted for the war, would 'be guilty of the - blackest crime: if they were willing to make a peace : on status quo ante bellum and recreate, the situation which existed be fore the war. If we send qur armies and our yoTg men abroad t be killed and wounded, in Northern France and Flanders with no result but this, our entrance Into war with such an inten4 tion was a crime which nothing can justify, i The Intent of congress and the intent: of the nresldent II was that there could be no peace until we oould create a situation where.- no such war a tnis could recwr.
