Washington, July 15. Foreseeing complete victory

withdrawal from the league by the United States an issue

The proposal was nebulous. No one.ment with President Wilson, but p!a

it, however, the moment they think it
will receive party support.
Senators who have talked this idea
over point out that two years is re

issue in the election would be the giv
