IF the proponents Of reservations
to the league of nations covenant do
not soon attach them to the treaty,
the administration will propose terms
which in the end will be accepted by
the Senate and recognized as round
ing out the Presidents work on the
treaty"
This intimation has gone to repub-
licans in the Senate. It's source is in
administration quarters, the sugges-
t1on having headwaterS there, but the
suggestion has been recognized by
some republicans as possessing
cogency. The inexplicable delay in
getting together" on reservations
bility of solution being found in
this way of the question of final rati-
fication of the treaty.
Would Command Support.
1t is needless to say that set
of reservations prepared at the
White House would be highly dis
tasteful to the mass Of the republi-
cans of the Senate and to some demo-
Gratis. But, it is argued, that with
the executives approval they would
necessarily command the practically
unanimous party support of the demo-
Gratis and the favor of a number of
republicans. possibly sufficient to
rally a substantial majority in the
Senate.
Then, with the covenant hedged by
reservations, the opponents of the
league of nations in it's broad form
would be thrown back upon the alter
native of voting against hAal ratifica-
tion.
Absolute Defeat Not Feared.
An absolute defeat Of ratification is
deemed by most observers in the
Senate as the very last contingency.

DEMOCRATS INTIMATE TERMS
FROM THEM MAY CARRY PACT
Republicans Hear That Their Failure to Get
Together on Reservations Is Likely to
Bring Proposal From Administration.

Even Mr.. Hitchcock's threat that the
democrats will defeat ratification if
certain reservations are adopted is
not taken seriously.
What nearly everybody in the Sen
ate believes is that the treaty will be
ratified with reservations; and the
question now uppermost is. what kind
of reservations shall be adopted. by
whom framed and how soon effected :
Realizing that a certain amount OF
maneuvering has been necessary,
from a strategical point of view; a
lowable, the point made now is that
the time is at hand when, If one fac
tion in the Senate does not act. an
other will.
Stress is laid upon the fact that the
administration demand for ratlhca :
tion of the treaty, including the
league of nations. is to be strength
ened from now on by the practi-
cal situation presented of the
league of nations being going con-
cern. England and Italy having ratl-
fled the treaty. France being expect
ed to act upon it this week or next,
as soon as that republic has ratified,
under the terms of the treaty three
principal signatories having adopted
1t, the treaty becomes effective.
Democrats Claim.
Democrats claim that this condition
will serve to focus attention upon
the Senate and encourage the idea,
which will be assiduously put for
ward, that the United States is in an
awkward position before the world.
This argument is not expected to
appeal to republicans. however, who
are earnestly contending for reser-
vations to protect the interests of the
United States. 1t might have effect
upon the public at large.
The republican program at the out
set was not to oppose a league of ma
tions, but to perfect" the present
plan. The situation, it Is claimed, is now
that the administration may do all the
"perfecting" in the long run.

Under this ruling delegates who have
important business engagements IN

Reason for Adjournment.
In urging the necessity of adjourn-
ment until tomorrow in order to per-
nit group meetings to be held Chair
man Chadbourne of the committee OF
fifteen said:
1.-THE difficulty with this situation
seems to be this: 1t is only ten days
ago. or two weeks ago. that anybody
here had notice of this conference.
No program was laid out for the men
to act on, which was quite different
from what happened both in Eng.
land and Canada. Almost every man
comes here absolutely unprepared and
unknowing as to what course events
were going to take. do not believe
that in the limited time between now
and this afternoon you could possibly
shape up anything in the way Of Z
program that would keep this con-
ference busy half an hour IL you

so that we have both this afternoon
