Senate leaders see some hope for treaty today
The Versailles treaty, stalled since November, will be formally presented to the Senate with hopes for progress on minor points while a long fight looms over Article Ten. Leaders from both parties plan to cooperate to remove parliamentary obstacles and allow debate, though the President's letter and British ambassador Grey’s views may widen or narrow the rift. The first step is a possible suspension of rules by Senator Lodge to bring the measure up, followed by reference to the Foreign Relations Committee.
