A resolution requesting President Wilson to submit to the senate the treaty by which the United States would promise to aid France in the event of an unprovoked attack by Germany was offered in the senate today by Chairman Lodge, of the foreign relations committee. Unanimous consent for its immediate consideration was refused by Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas. July 24. Declaring the treaty provision Shantung had been '"repeatedly misinterpreted and generally misunderstood," Senator Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, told the senate today it was unjust to suspect Japan's motives or to imestion the declaration of her statesmen that the territory eventually would hr restored to China. "It has been stated by one senator," said Mr. Robinson, "that by the treaty Shantung with its 40,000,(XX) inhabitants is wrested from China and presented to Japan.
