WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE Ad-
ministration forces in the peace treaty
are considered to have been taken we'll
"out on a limb and tied there" to-day
by Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, Ad-
ministration leader, in his formal
minority report. and by Senator John
Sharp Williams. also of the committee.
in speech which Mr.. Williams delv-
cred in the Senate.
The report urges the speedy adoption
of the peace treaty without change,
declaring that alteration of the docu-
ment as drawn would mean that the
United States would lose the benft Of
concession, obtained from Germany,
since Germany might refuse to sign the
changed treaty.
The half dozen Democratic Senator'S
who have made it clear they will vote
for reservations and the Republicans,
who arc united with but one or two ex-
ceptions for strong reservations, lis
tened to Mr. Williams's address and
read the minority report on the treaty
with utter amazemant.

loopholc through which to emerge with
an admission that the reservations
which the Senate probably will adopt
"do not affect the treaty at all, but are
mere interpretations" Both fatty pu+
the Administration in a position where
the adoption of reservations would be
a decisive defeat. even if all teXtual
amendments were defeated
This action was taken BY the Demo
cratic Senators on the committee in
the face of the fact that such leader
as Senator Simmons, Of North Carolina,
has conceded that the treaty cannot be
ratified without reservations. Many
Democratic Senators who have not yet
voiced their sentiments on the league
were worried tonight over the prospect
of being obliged, unless they were will

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1l.--Rej lection
Of the peace treaty with it's league OF
nations covenant, or adoption OF
amendments would mean sacrifice by
tho United States of al: concessions
obtained from Germany under
dictated peace. minority members of
the Foreign Relations Committee de-
olared in report presented to-day to
the Senate.
The report prepared by Senator
Hitchcock, Of Nebraska. ranking Demo
cratic member of the committee, urged
speedy ratification Of the treaty with
out amendments or reservations. 1t
deplorcd "thc long and unnecessary
delay to which the treaty has been
mittee. whose recommendation were
from the start a foregonc conclusion
and asserted these recommendations
could have been made in July.
Senator Shields. Democrat. of Tenne-
see, did not sign the report. having an
nounced that he favored league coven-
ant reservations prepared by Chairman
Lodge. 1t was stated that he would
not present a separate report. Those
cock, were Senator'S Williams, Missis-
sippi; Swanson, Nirginia; Pomerenc,
Ohio; Smith, Arizona, and Pttman,
Nevada, all Democrats.
The minority denied the claim put
forth in Chairman Lodges report that
the peace conference still was in
session and has power "to bring Ger
man representatives to Paris" saying
such power OF compulsion had been
exhausted and that Germany had
closed the chapter bv signing and
ratifying.
"If an amended treaty is not signed
by Germany" the report added. then
it is in none of its parts binding on
her"
The report mentioned twelve con
cessions the United States would lose
by failure to rntify the treaty, these
inclu.ine industrial and economic ad-
vant.>~es and agreements.
Reservations proposed by the ma
jority, the report said. were "for the
purpose Of destroying the league,
which has "stood the test of world
wide criticism and unlimited attack"
The minority recommended that the
work of the peace conference be con
tirmed and the peace of the world ad-
vanced by ratification Of the treaty
described as the best hope of the
world, "even if like all instrumcntali-
ties it be not divinely perfect in every
DETAIL"
The report contended that the in
dustrial world was "in ferment," the

Hope for Compromise ON

ing to risk the resentment of the Pres
ident, to vote against all reservations.
Senator Williams told the Senate
that Germany had reached the point
where she would stand for no further
changes in the treaty.
First you tell her she must do this
and she agrees" Senator Williams
said "Thcn you tell her she must do
something else and she agrees. And
now the Senate comes along and tries
to change the terms to which she has
affixed her signature. I tell you there
comes a time when people, no mat
ter how badly defeated or how war
weary. will say no.
"Then what are you going to do ?
Are you going to ask stricken Bel
GUM, devastated France, exhausted
Britain and disease stricken Serbia to
get in line again and put American
boys at their side to enforce the new
terms you make? You cannot do that.
You must do the other-ratify the
treaty without change"
Senator Williams said Republican
Senators in their speeches had in
suited the President, all of the Allies
and Germany as we'll. He insisted it
WAS Senator Lodges design to kill the
league Of nations, if not directly, in7
directly by making amendments to the
covenant
~ accuse him of that now he said
"If l am wrong ! am sorry"
Democrats Disappointed
Many Democratic Senators, who
have not yet spoken, had been hoping
that with the growing evidence the
Republicans will put the reservations
over anyhow, and because more than
half dozen Democrats have already
announced their intention Of voting for
them, the Administration would adopt
compromise programme which would
permit certain reservat ions, and nos
force its supporters to antagonizc the
elements in their own states. which
would resent a fat vote against any
reservations.
Democratic Senators particularly fear
the effect OF such votes on The Irish
Americans. who have been particularly
vigorous in their dcnunciations OF
Article \ OF .hc covenant.
Senator Harding. member Of the
committee. IN set speech to-day, de-
clared nc hoped every amendment pro-
posed by .hc committee, as we'll as
every reservation, would be adopted.
He declared he wo"ld vote to reject
the treaty il the reservations were not
accepted. He did rot threaten to vote
against The treaty Unicss amendments
were adopted.
As M. Harding has frequently boen
counted as an "irreconcilable,' this
would have been regarded as a distinct
gain for the Administration side TO- day
we're it not for the fact that in the
minority report the Administration
bound itself against all reservations
whatever.
The fight ovcr ratification will begin
in the Senate Monday.

League Must Be
Accepted With Treaty

I'VE are aware that the claim has
been set up that one Of the proposed
anondnents which relates only to the
league OF nations does not require the
assent Of Germany. This is based ON
the fact that Germany is not vet a
member Of the league of nations and
may not be for several years. The
answer is, however, that the league
covenant is a part of the treaty and
