THE PRESIDENT
IS WILLING TO TAKE CHANCE Es
ON TREATY
Roosevelt Doesn't Like the santo DO
mingo Business Very Well But
Believes In the Ratification.

Washington, Jan. 3-At a time when
all sorts of grave rumors are in the
air as to what dissatisfied Republican
and Democratic leaders propose doing
to the president when the Santo Co.
mingo treaty is brought up for discus
sion in the senate the following state
ment from q high source Of the pres
ident's attitude on the question is or
deep interest:
President Roosevelt does not con-
slider that the Santo Domingo treaty
and the conditions 1t would entail are
necessarily to be regarded as desirable.
he does not especially like the arrange
ment himself. But he points out TO
callers who have been asking for his
views about 1t Lately, that it is far bet
ter to ratity the treaty and assume
the obligations 1t imposes than to re-
ject 1t and take chances with the con-
ditions that will then come.
he president is anxious not to be
Santo Domingo. He Is not disposed to
aggressiveness in his campaign for
ratification of the pact, but he does
want senators to realize what he is
trying to accomplish.
40 recent callers the president has
pointed out that even now, when there
is a revolution afoot in the island, the
customs houses are not suffering the
usual effects of revolution. Ordinar-
lily the first point of attack is at the
customs houses, because these are used
as the financial backing of the factions
controlling them. But now the Gus
toms houses are recognized as under
American supervision ana therefore Sc
cure from attack.
IF the senate does not like the plan
which the treaty proposes for dealing
with conditions in the island, the pres
ident would be glad to have it propose
a better one. He has no pride of opIn-
ion or authorship of the treaty plan.
He found a condition confronting him
and he and the state department grap-
pied with 1t In the best manner that
they could figure out. To let conai-
tions go on as they were before meant
that foreign powers would continue
about the DOMINICAN status;
they would be complaining on behalf
Of their citizens, TO the Washington
and these complaints,
which are not heard by the senate, and
only occasionally known about by the
public, cannot possibly be appreciated
by anybody outside the executive de-
partment Of the government. In that
department. however, there is a keen
of the seriousness of the
which must be considered
Il the treaty be rejected.
The administration simply sees
hat he has offered a practicable plan
'or meeting a difficult situation. 1t, in
effect, asks the senate to propose its
own plan II 1t cannot bring itself to
accept this one. 1t has no desire 10
orce its opinion on the senate of the J
but 1t does feel a deep con-
:ern about meeting the situation which |
:onfronts It,"
