without interruption since the extra

rnMy had reached a truce today while
the leaders on both sides realigned
their forces for the final struggle over!
the covenant's ratification
With abandonment of the plan to
all up today Senator Knox's resolu
tion on the subject, there appeared
little likelihood that issues of the con- 1
irovers would appear on the surface
of senate procedure during tho com
ing week, and ptrhaps not until the
treat la submitted for ratification i
early in .July
As a consequence of these maneu-;
vera the leacue jssucs seem assured
of remaining uppermost in the minds
of senators despite the lack of actual!
surface developments and the re
strained sentiments of both sides are
expected to find an outlet in an oc- ,
casional outburst of senate debate.
