President Is not unreasonable and
that II the Senate gets together and
submits 70 him the best possible COM
promise. he would not reject It."
Senator Underwood stated that he
uid not construe the Presidents
statement as an absolute refusal to
listen to any sort OF compromise.
On the contrary. the Senator believes
that 1t merely was n notice that
there would be no initiative from
the President looking toward q COM
promise. and what the President de-
sires Is for the Senate to reach some
sort Of agreement and submit IL to
him for consideration.
Senator Underwood Is so thorough
lly In earnest In his desire to bring
about some peace settlement that
ne announced himself opposed to a
holiday recess. He believes the Sem
ate should pass the railroad bill by
the end Of this week and continue
tn session through the holidays to
bring about an agreement on the
treaty. He favors the appointment
OF a committee on Cancellation to
bring the opposing elements together.

The leadership contest between Sem

he would call the Democratic Sem

dispose OF the matter. Both sides

lowers asserting that they will have

campaigners say that they will win
by a majority Of at least one vote.
Senator Hitchcock shares Senator
Underwood's opinion that early action
toward effectins a peace settlement
Is desirable. and also favors a con-
ciliation committee to handle the sub
ject. He is OF the opinion that an
agreement on mild reservations which
will be acceptable to the President
can be reached. However. he Is not
willing at this time to go so far as
the Alabama Senator in agreeing to
fall back upon declaration Of peace
