The Senate faces a direct clash over the League with Sen Knox proposing formal notice to the peace conference opposition should the treaty go to ratification in its present form. The measure seeks to reserve future action, challenge constitutional authority, and signal possible U S cooperation only when Europe’s peace is threatened. The resolution, sent to the foreign relations committee, aims for quick action this week.
