Too Late for Combinations.


There was time earlier in the dis
cussion of the treaty and covenant when
a combination might have been effected

But slowly the mild reservationist group
was depleted by one means or another.
or by one conviction or another. during
the long combat. The alienation of the
entire group now has been accomplished
and without tina sacrifice of single
principle or the surrender of a single
American right.
Henceforth the debate on the treaty,
once the Johnson amendment has been
voted upon. must become one of direct
dealing with the question of reserva-
tons. The Foreign Relations Commit
tee will meet in a day or two and re-
draft the resolution of ratification to
include in addition to the originally &C.
cepted reservations others considered i'm
portant and framed to accomplish the
needful Americanization Of the docu-
ment. 1t Is not to be anticipated that
the Administration Senators will not
make every effort to modify and neu-
tralize, but the lines now are too taut
drawn to admit of vital or important
changes Further, the majority in the
Senate is not in a mood for such trifiing
There impends In the Senate the great

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.--Out of the
chaos Of the past three monthstdiscus-
sion the situation in the Senate in re-
gard to the peace treaty and the
League Of Nations covenant has clar-
flied completely. The treaty and cove
nant will be ratified by the Senate in
a resolution which will make perfect
ly certain the American Interpretation
of every moot point and In which re-
servations of the most vital and effec-
tive character will be embodied. The
votes for reservations. including all
adopted by the Committee on Foreign
Relations two months ago, will receive
not less than flfty-five votes. A ma
jority Of the Senate is forty-nine.
Senator Lodge (Mass.) announced
to-day his poll of the Senate, showing
that in the final showdown the Re-
publicans will cast their solid array
of forty-nine votes for reservations
and that six Democrats would vote
with them. The period of possible
compromise has passed. he said, and
further, after the committees own re-
servations are written into the resolu-
ton of ratification, additional reserva-
tons defining Americas position in
regard to representation in the assem-
bly, Of the League of Nations and the
attitude of the United States with re-
gard to the shantung award will be
made clear.
Democrats Cannot Defeat 1t.
The Republicans are in a position to-
day where the threat of a defeat of the
treaty by Democratic votes, combining
with the irreconcilable enemies OF the
pact, carries, no menace their leaders
say. If Democratic leaders like Senator
Hitchcock (Neb.) and Underwood Gala.
feel that they have carried out the de-
sires of the President by voting against
the ratification of the treaty in reso-
luton carrying the reservations framed
by the Republicans to subserve the IN
tegrity OF American Institutions, such
a move would be met by the Republican
leaders with complete equanimity. In
other words. IL il shall transplre that
the Democratic Administration leaders
| in the Senate shall see their way clear
to slay the treaty in this manner, the
corpse may repose on their own Doorstep
so far as the Republican Senator'S are
concerned. although no one in the Sen

is virtually an accomplished fact to-day
