Senate Leaders To Report On German Treaty
Washington Aug 31 Efforts by the senate foreign relations committee to report out the amended German peace treaty soon after President Wilson's departure on his western speaking tour are of greatest interest. Republicans expect to report the treaty to the senate late Tuesday or early next week for open debate while the president is traveling the country. Controversy over ratification amendments reservations and interpretation is expected to continue and be intensified by the president's addresses. The week also expects action on enforcement and railroad regulation bills while the foreign relations committee keeps hearings on smaller European matters and remaining treaty provisions. Debates in the senate on the treaty will continue with Senator Hitchcock speaking Tuesday in reply to recent addresses by Senators Lodge Knox. The railroad bill is to be introduced Tuesday to provide permanent rank of general for Pershing. The house and senate committees will work this week on measures to cut living costs including extending the food center law against profiteers and regulating cold storage.
