SENATE CALLS FOR
PEACyOCUMENTS
.Special to the Nugget By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 15- Indications are growing that the Senate
Foreign Relations committee will probably ignore the President in its investi
gation of the peace treaty.
Government officials admit that the administration has received in
timations. that the President will not be Invited to appear before the Foreign
Relations committee to discuss the treaty. A majority of the committee is
said to he hostile toward the proposal to invito the President to appear at
the formal hearings and is equally adverse to conferring with him at the
\\ Iiiti- House.
The committee has adopted a resolution asking the President to furnish
the investigators with copies of all documents considered by the American!
cMtumissioncrs at Versailles. It is held in many quarters that this is con
vincing evidence that the committee does not intend to hear the President.
Those close to the President say if the committee decides not to hear his I
views of the treaty provisions, it is probable that Mr. Wilson will start on his I
country-wide speaking tour somewhat earlier than was contemplated.
