RESERVATIONS
Will SATISFY,
SAYS WILSON
President Tells Administra-
ton Leader interpretations
Are Satisfactory League
Must be Guarded.
NO DEADLOCK EXPECTED
(BY Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-President
Wilson today told Senator Hitchcock
OF Nebraska, administration leader il
the senate fight, that he would be en-
tirely satisfied with any reservations.
supporters of the treaty might feel
Justified in accepting, providing they
did not nullify the league of nations
covenant and were designed for the
purpose Of interpreting the terms CT
the treaty.
The president" Senator Hitchcock
said. expressed "is very strong approv-
all of what had been done to date and
agreed that no compromise would be
offered unless a dead lock was reached
on resolution of ratification.
Senator Hitchcock outlined his pro-
gram as first an endeavor to defeat
the reservations reported by the for
eign relations committee and il that
failed to vote down the resolution "
ratification containing them. His
next move would be to present a
resolution Of ratification and should d
dead lock ensue, to attempt a COM
promise with Republican opponents.
Senator Hitchcock said if a resolu-
tion of ratification containing the COM
mittee reservations were adopted that
senate was concerned but that the
president could pigeon hole the
treaty He declined to speculate as
to the probable course of the president
should the committee resolution pre-
vail.
In the first test Of strength on the
reservations to the peace treaty pro-
posed by the foreign relations commit
tee the senate refused today, by vote
Of as to 40. to strike out the provision
which would require acceptance OF the
reservations by other powers.
Prospects for final vote on ratlfl-
cation of the treaty remained vague
today. In yesterdays session the SEN
ate was brought to its feet during a
parliamentary tilt between senate
leaders each Of whom seemed eager
for an immediate roll call on unquali-
fled ratification.
The crisis soon was passed however.
when Republican senators objected to
the procedure on the ground that it
might prevent a later attempt to put
reservations into the ratification
agreement and the senate subsided
into routing discussion Of the reserva.
tions.

said
The increase in investment since

during the preceding ten year period
it should have been $4,000, 900 600,
Since 1915 freight traffic increased
81 per cent and passenger traffic SO
per cent, he said. adding that the per-
centage increase in each variety of
equipment during that time was five
percent and none.
Need soc, 900 Cars.
The railways during ~ next three
years should buy at east 100000
freight cars, 10000 locomotives and
10000 passenger cars, he said, to make
up the existing deficiency of equip
ment to replace that which should be
retired and to provide for handling
additional business.
