OMISSION OF REFERENCE

Washington, Dec. 2.?Omission of
any direct refereM^o the peace trea
ty from Presiden^wfl son's message to
Corygress met with general satisfac
tion among-both. Republican and Dem.
ocratic Senate- leaders, who are quite
willing to leave the treaty'In its pip
eon bole until important legislation"
has been parsed, or a compromise ef
fected.
The possibility that the President
might renew his request for ratifica
tion had been regarded as the only
element in the situation which might
revive tfie issne la the tfti mediate fu
ture. It now is the expectation of the
leaders that the whole question will
be permitted to remain as pending a
compromise or at least until the leg
work of the session in yje 11
under wayT
Likelihood that the concurrent res
olutioh declaring a state ' of pcace
may also be subjected to long delay
increased today when the Senate Re
publican* ennvassed the chances of
early action in either Senate or House.
It had been decided to ask the House
to adoi.j the measure first, but today
some of the leaders of the tower branch
predicted that such a course might
arouse considerable opposition.
