Failure of Senate to Ratify Peace
Treaty Leaves United States Tech-
nically at War—Presidential
Election Holds Interest.
By DONALD F. BIGGS.
The world throughout the yenr 1020
wits pas'dnff through the troublesome
period of readjustment and reaction
that bejrnn with the close of the World
war. Of all the j;r< at powers that had
been Involved in the conflict, the Unit-
ed States alone remained technically
in a state of war with Germany
through the failure of the senate to
ratify the prace treaty. For all prac-
tical purposes, however, the United
Slates was at peace and conditions in
this country were more nearly normal
than in most of the nations of Kurope
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended,
the w>rld was not at peace in 1920.
Territorial disputes and Jealousies
growing out of the war resulted in a
i large number of minor conflicts.
, The Irish problem remained un-
solved and the situation in the Emer-
ald Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States, de-
spite minor radical activities and the
uncertainties accompanying the read-
, justment of business and Industrial
conditions, there was continued pros-
perity and Optimism.

January 10 when Germany and four-
teen of the powers allied against her

• •eremony, as the treaty had not been
ratified by the senate.
