Senator Watson Tells vii.
son Treaty Must Be
Qualified.

with the summouing to the White
House yesterday of Senator Watson,
President Wilson exhausted the list
of Republican Senators with whom he
desired to discuss the peace treaty
and the league of nations. 1t is not
believed any further conferences eN-
cept with democratic Senators will be
held.
Senator Watson's interview with the
President was characterized by amaz-
ing frankness. He Informed the Pres
ident.
THAT the treaty will not be rati-
fed unless reservations are made.
THAT he believed the interests OF
America are of greater Importance
than those of the rest of the world
THAT he would not vote to in
dorse the Shantung award even if all
other povisions in the treaty were
satisfactory.
Upon the subject Of Americanism.
Senator Watson told the President
that he was not in any sense an in
ternationaiist and that he was a firm
believer in ma ationalism, especially the
nationalism of the United States. con-
tinuing:
Mr.. President there was one SEN
tence in your speech presenting the
treaty which just raised me up on
tiptoes and aroused my feeling OF the
most intense opposition to your posi-
ton. That was the sentence In
which you spoke OF the necessity for
entering this combination, no matter
what the cost might be In independ-
ent thought and action.
That sentence. in my opinion. ex-
pressed clearly a doctrine of interna-
;ionalism."
The President. il is understood. ex-
pressed little objection to three of the
reservations which have been pro-
posed, but stated that he cid not be-
lieve there should be any reserva ton
on Article y. He said reopening of
the question with the other powers
would mean that the entire winter
would be taken up with discussion of
the treaty. Senator Watson replied
that little delay would not prevent
the effective working OF the league
and that American interests should
not be sacrificed for the mere purpose
of preventing other nations from ex-
pressing their understanding of the
