WILSON Wanted
RESERVATIONS,
TELLS WATSON
Fought for Changes in Paris
But Fears Danger in Re-
opening Pact, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-President
Wilson admitted to Senator Watson tn
their chat at the White House Friday
afternoon that in the Paris peace con-
ference he had fought for some Of the
reservations now proposed by the
United States senate but since he fail.
ed he believes that the league coven-
ant should now stand as 1t is written
because Of the dangers that would
come II the question should be re-
opened and other nations be given
their chance to press for changes. The
president was firm in urging that the
senate adopt the covenant without res
ervations.
This was the first meeting OF Presi-
dent Wilson and Senator Watson
though before Mr.. Wilson became
president they ran across each other
occasionally at college fraternity gath.
erings, both being members OF the Phi
Psi fraternity.
I'VE talked for an hour and a quar-.
ter" said Senator Watson after he
had left the White House, and it was
most friendly and from my stand
point at least, most enjoyable con-
versation. I found we were not SO far
apart in our convictions, as the presi-
dent said he had no objections to meet
of the reservations and, in fact, that
he had contended for these very things
at the conference table in France.
Fears Renegotiatons.
His objection to embodying them
in the treaty now Is that 1t would Of.
fer an excuse. il not an incentive, to
other countries to open I'D the cues
| tions which were supposed to be set
had contended for these things at
Paris, II he did not think it would
strengthen him II the senate should
ters, but he was firm in holding that
1t would be a mistake for the senate
to insist on reservations under the cir
cumstances.
| 81 told him very frankly and EN-.
phatically that I knew what I was
talking about when stated that the
treaty never could be ratified without
reservations; that there are thirty.
nine senators who will never vote for
it without reservations. and that the
number is very likely to be increased
to forty-two, but in any event will
never fall below thirty-nine
"'If that is So said the president
we will be all winter thrashing out
this matter, and will have to go back
! to Paris
well, Mr.. President I said. you
had a pretty good time over there
didn't YOU?
He smiled, and we parted the best
| of friends"

Grave conditions In the automobile
industry of the country are declared
to exist in many reports reaching
Washington in letters to me .nbers of
Congress and through statements
made to Senators and House mem-
bers by manufacturers themselves or
persons cognizant of the facts.
Michigan, as the head and center
OF the automobile industry, is the
State from which the most serious
complaints are proceeding. IT ia
roughly estimated that Michigan au-
tomobile manufacturers have $500,
