the impression prevailed that extended

was pointed out that IL compromise
were reached by the two.thirds nece3.
sary to ratify, cloture could be inyokd4
and the Job disposed Of quickly.
There also was belief among some
Of the leaders that the treaty with Aus
tria, soon to be ready for submission
to the senate, might be the basis o.
which the principal issues Of the fight
were next raised. This treaty. like the
one with Germany. contains the cove.
nant, Of the League Of Nations. and Il
sideration way might be found for
clearing up the whole treaty situation
in the senate.
So far as 1t has got under way to-
night, compromise talk seemed to be
about where it was wehn the special
session ended with the Republican
forces holding out for the majority ra-
servations and the Democrats determin-
Cd to prevent ratification unless these
reservations were modified.
There were many reports OF defecs
tnns in the Democratic ranks, but the
democratic leaders belittled such stories
and declared compromise was bound

however. has declared in public state.
