NO PEACE TREATY: Senate Drops Ratification Attempts
After three failed push attempts to ratify the Pune treaty the Senate abandoned the effort. Republican leaders, unable to secure two thirds, moved to declare the war at an end. Lodge reservations were defeated and the bill for unqualified ratification failed 38 to 63 as mild Republicans opposed. Lodge then proposed ending the war and resuming peace, but the measure went to the foreign relations committee.
