ponents, the willingness Of the
president to accept q compromise
is nowhere ON record. Most people
have taken It for granted that Mr..
Wilson would accept compromise
eventually and that he was stick
ing to his guns very much as a
man in q commercial bargain who
wants to hold out till the last min

has arrived. The resolution pro-
viding for an unqualified adoption
of the peace treaty has been de-
feated.
Twenty Republican senators
