Senate to Adopt
Compromise, Is
:. Prediction.
TWO-THIRDS FOR
PACT SIGNING
Lawrence Believes All,
Including Allies, Will
Accept Changes.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The Senate of the United States will
ratify the peace treaty and the reser-
vations that are attached will be ac-
copied not only by President Wilson
but by the foreign governments asso-
ciated with us in the war. That doesn't
mean that the Lodge resolution now
pending before the, Senate with it's
series of reservations is going to be
adopted or that, Senator Hitchcock's
resolution to ratify with a few reserva-
tions that do not meet the flaws that
have been pointed out in the treaty
during the Senate debate is to be final
ly approved, but that new ratifying
resolution. a compromise, will be
adopted.
. The foregoing prediction is based
partly on a knowledge of what the
parliamentary tactics of both sides
contemp!ates and partly on convic-
ton that there are at least sixty five
senators. republicans and democrats
more than the necessary two-thirds-
who honestly do not wish to see the
treaty of peace killed and new nego-
tia1is opened with Germany.
