MUCH DEPENDS
ON OUTCOME OF
PEACE CONFAB

the senate, it would not be surpris-
ing to see Mr.. Wilson let it be
known that the program is accept
able. The interpretations suggest
ed by the seven senators afore-
mentioned as mild reservation
lists" would not have the effect of
throwing the peace treaty back into
international conference but would
claify ambiguous clauses. On the
other hand, men like Senators
Borah and Johnson are not likely
to carry their opposition through
to the end. But if Mr.. Wilson ac-
cepts the interpretations of the
seven Republican senators who be-
lieve in making it clear that the
powers of congress to declare war
are not abridged and that the Unit
ed States retains jurisdiction over
tariff, immigration and other do
nestle questions and that the in
depreciation of the Monroe doctrine
shall be left to the United States,
an early ratification of the peace
treaty is to be expected.
Tour Rests On Result OF Meet.
In the event Mr.. Wilson's trip
would be in the nature of an ex-
PLANTATION to the American people
of the responsibilities undertaken
by America in world affairs and
the necessity for cooperation to re-
construct the world and reduce the
cost of living. It so happens that
cier and probably General PERISH
ing will be coming to the United
States during the month of Septem-
Der and Mr. Wilson will have to be
in Washington to receive them. So
the prospects of trip by MIR. Will
son depends largely on the develop
ments in next Tuesdays conference
between Mr.. Wilson and the entire
of the senate foreign
relations committee.
