There will undoubtedly be opposition from some quarters but the treaty will have many important friends. In the light of the proposition as it now stands Sen.

As Washington looks upon the question, partisan politics consideration may be greatly subordinate inasmuch as thn presidential canspaign will be over by the-time the ratification is requested. Rev.
