WILSON CONSIDERS
LODGE CHALLENGE
May Consent to Make Treaty
Chief Issue in Presiden-
tiaI Campaign
HITCHCOCK OPPOSES PLAN

Washington. Nov. %. -. Whether
further compromise efforts are TO b,
made TO ratify the peace treaty or the
whole controversy thrown into the 1920
presidential campaign for decision was
II question which aroused lively specu-
lation today in official and political
circles.
1t was agreed everywhere that the
statement issued last night by Senator
Lodge, the Republican Senate leader.
declaring the time for compromise had
passed and that IL was his desire that
the majority reservation program be
carried into the campaign had advanced
materially the movement to leave the
treaty situation just rs it is for the
present and give the people Il chance
to decide the issue next Yrar.
Senator Hitchcock, the acting adj
ministration leader, declared that while
the Democrats would be Loaf, to see
the treaty made a political issEe they
would accept it if the Republicans in
sisted, with entire confidence of the out
come.
Senator Hitchcock predicted thai
President Wilson would resubmit the
treaty at the beginning of the next ses-
sion OF Congress on December 1 ana
that compromise would result. 1t
was admitted by the administration
definite assurance the President would
prefer that course to a postponement of
further action until the people had
spoken in 1920.
The statement of Senator Lodge re-
gardlng the position he and most other
Republican senator's had taken toward
injection of the treaty into politics.
and was accepted as clothed with added
significance by Mr.. Lodges conference
with Will II. Hays, Republican national
chairman. just before the unsuccessful
hght wednesday for ratification with
the majority reservations included.
II have no especial comment to make.
The case is very simple. After four
months of careful consideration and dis
cussion, the reservations were presented
to the Senate. They were purely
American in their character, designed
solely to Americanize the treaty and
make it safe for the United States.
"Under the Presidents orders, the
followers of the administration in the
Senate voted down those reservations.
1t was also shown by vote that there
was a decisive majority against the
treaty with the reservations.
'"Those reservations as presented to
the Serate will stand. There is no
room for further compromise between
Americanism and the super government
presented by the league. All I ask now
is that we may have the opportunity to
lay those reservations before the
American people. To that great and
final tribunal alone would appeal.
II wish to carry those reservations
into the campaign. / wish the Ameri-
car people to read and study them.
They are not like the covenant of the
league. They are simple. / do not
cnn hat 10 Df g., Il.
any American can object. I want the
people to see them, understand them
and think of them in every household,
on every farm, in every shop ard fac
tory throughout the land. Then let
them decide.''
