Republican senaifsg, vigorons- ly insisted that Senator Hitchcock consent to let the mattef go to the Foreign Relations Committee for careful consideration.They did not oppose the purpose of the resolution, but expressed the view that the proposed action was fraught with such international importance that it should not be acted upon without very careful consideration of all phases of the war situation, and not until a Senate had an opportunity to study the exchanges of h:lligerent and neutral governments which have followed the original Teutonic nnrie to the Entente Allies suggesting discussion of peace.There were strong intimations tonight that the Republicans will insist upon thorough debate if Senatar Hitchcock persists tomorrow in his demand for a vote without reference to a committee.Such a discussion.it was pointed out tonight, might -d to another general debate on tre European war situation.such as characterized the .controversy at the last session of Congress over thc right of American citizens to teavel on armed ships of belligerents.Senator Stone declared that the simple question involved in the issue was whether the Senate should ea- dorse à movement calculated to open the way for bringing abo:st peace in Furope.For the Senate to hesitate, now that the resolution confronted it.he said.would destroy the morat effect of the proposed endorsement upon the nations at war.Views of many Republican senators were epitomized by Senatar Lodge.wio declared the resolution opened up a \u201cverv large.grave and imnortant subject.\u201d CT trust.\u201d he
