flcatlNn or the ledSut Ol BdtipilS NoNNh- ant is so worded, it became known to- night, that the reservations and un- derstandings" enumerated shall be- come "a part of the treaty" and shall not stand simply as a detached inter- pretation by the senate.
 While some of the sponsors of the program regard it as merely inter pretative in effect. clarifying the lan- guage of the covenant without chang ing the meaning of any provisions. oth- CTS of the seven believe it goes further and greatly softens certain features, which, they say, violate national rights. The reservations as agreed to in def mite terms are embodied in proposed ratification resolution reading as fol- lows:
 That the senate of the United States advise and consent to the ratification of said treaty with the following res ervations and understandings to be made a part of the treaty by the in strument of ratification;
 The Reservations
 "1 That whenever the two years notice of withdrawal from the league of nations shall have been given by the United States as provided in Ar ticle One, the United States shall be the sole judge whether all it's interna- tional obligations and all its obliga- tions under this covenant shall have been fulfilled at the time of withdrawal. "2. That the suggestions of the council of the league of nations as to the means of carrying the obligations of Article Ten into effect are only ad- visory, and that any undertaking under the provisions of Article Ten, the ex- ecution of which may require the use of American military or naval forces, or economic measures, can under the constitution be carried out only by the action of the congress and that the failure of the congress to adopt the suggestions of the council or of the league, or to provide such military or naval forces or economic measures shall not constitute a violation of the treaty.
 All Rights Reserved
 B. The United States reserves to itself the right to decide what ques- tions are within its domestic jurisdic- ton and declares that all domestic and political questions relating to it's in- ternal affairs, including immigration, coastwise traffic, the tariff. commerce 1, and other purely domestic questions, D are solely within the jurisdiction of the United States and are not by this covenant submitted in any way either to arbitration or to the consideration of the council or the assembly of the league of nations or to the decision or recommendation of any other power.
 "4-The United States does not bind itself to submit for arbitration or in- quiry by the assembly or the council any question which in the judgment of the United States depends upon or in- wolves it's long established policy com monly known as the Monroe Doctrine and 1t Is preserved unaffected by any provision in the said treaty contained
 Seven Sign Proposal
 The seven republicans who agreed tc this proposal as a basis for the effort to bring on a middle ground senators of both parties who favor the league plan in general outline, were Sena tors McNary. Oregon; McCumber North Dakota; Colt, Rhode Island Spencer. Missouri; Cummins, Iowa Kellogg, Minnesota, and Lenroot Wis consin
 lt became known tonight that the proposed resolution had not been pre- scented either 10 Republican Leader Lodge or to Senator Hitchcock. admin istration leader in the treaty fight. and that the efforts of the group sponsor. ing the plan probably would be direct cd for the present toward enlargine their number in order to hold indis- putably the balance of power. Nego- tiations with administration leaders along the general line laid down in the resolution have been in progress, how ever, for several days.
 League opponents delcared today that all possibility of unreserved rati- fication of the leaguue had been re- moved by the willingness of Senators McCumber and McNary, regarded a, the warmest friends of the league among the republican majority, to ac cept reservations. To this administra ton senators that a vote on ratifica ton was still a long way off adding that with seven republicans lined III for reservations of the character pro popsed. there was no longer a possi bility that more radical qualification could be included in the ratification.
