the new four-powered trety of thePacific be amended or rewritten inpart before it is submitted to theSenate for ratirfication miy bemade to President Harding withinthe next week by some of hisclosest Senatorial supporters, itwas learned today.

Hope To Nip Opposition.Friends of the President and of the

treaty, recognizing the growing op-position of the old "irreconcibable"element, together with the expectedDemocratic opposition, believe muchof this opposition can be nipped byhaving the instrument so amendedas to make it clear that Americantroops will never be sent across thePacific to preserve the territorial or

political integrity of the powers in-volved.This would not only allay much of

the opposition that has manifesteditself, they believe, but it would frus-trate a recurrence of the long andembarrassing fight which, it is ad-mitted, a minority of the Senatemight make against the treaty.

Views of Foreigners Sought.The principal deterrent to such a

course, according to Republican lead-ers, is the doubt as to how theother powers signatory to the treatymight receive suggestions of its be-ing rewritten or amended.Although foreign spokesmen refuse

to comment publicly upon such aproposition, certain Republian Sen-ators already are engaged in sound-ing out sentiment among the visitingdelegations.
