HITCHCOCK MAKES
COMPROMISE OFFER
Outlines Treaty Reservations
Acceptable to Democrats in
North Carolina Speech.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Dec. 16.-Thc
Democratic Senators are willing to
meet the Republicans "half way" in
a compromise on peace treaty reser-
vations, Senator Hitchcock Of Ne
braska, Administration leader, an
nounced in a speech here last night.
He spoke in the interests OF Clyde r.
Hoey. Democratic candidate for Con.
gress in the Ninth district at the
election today.
Hitchcock outlined specific reserva-
tions to which the Democrats would
agree.
THE Democrats are ready to con.
fer with and compromise with Re-
publican reservation Senator'S on any
reasonable basis" he said "They do
not think reservations necessary, but
they will concur in some-for guard
ing the Monroe doctrine; for making
it clear that domestic questions are
not within the Jurisdiction Of the
league; for declaring that the league
has no control over our army and
navy; that we can be involved in war
only by act of Congress; that the
plural votes of the nations embraced
in the British empire shall be dis
qualified; and that If the United
the league it alone shall be the Judge
OF whether it's obligations are such
that it can properly do So"
He also expressed the opinion in a
statement that some basis of COM
promise will be found to rally
eonugh support from Republican
Senators to ratify the treaty.
81 expect this to be done early in
the year" he said.
