NEGOTIATIONS FOR
|. A COMP PR0M|sE ON
TREATY RENEWED

teY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LESrEp wIREl
Washington, Dec. Negotiations
for a compromise ratification of the
peace treaty were renewed today with
the assembling of congress, but the
general feeling of senators on both
sides was that il might be some weeks
before the movement reached the
stage of formal action.
Republican and democratic leaders
found themselves in agreement that
the legislative program should not be
longer delayed. and that the treaty
should not be brought again before
the senate formally until way to
dispose of it finally had been opened
by private discussion. There were in
dications that the resolution to de-
clare state of peace might also be
delayed until important legislation had
been cleared away.
The disposition to leave the treaty
side tracked for the present was ex-
pected by senators generally to be re-
flected in the message which Presi-
dent Wilson will send to congress to-
morrow None professed to have any
definite knowledge of the presidents
| intentions, however. and White House
officials were silent tonight regarding
| the probable contents of the message.
In the short session today neither
the treaty nor the peace resolution
! were mentioned, but there was much
private talk which developed some
disposition to compromise on both
sides. Democratic senators who ap-
preached republicans on the subject
were told to put their proposals into
concrete form. They promised to dc
so within a day or two.
To these discussions, however. Sen
ator Lodge, the republican leader, was
not a party. He has announced his
opposition to any further compromiss
and is understood to have counse 'et
his colleagues to stand squarely be
hind the reservations accepted by thu
majority at the last session.
Senator Hitchcock, the democratic
leader predicted that the compromise
efforts would succeed and that within
a few weeks 1t would be possible t.
bring in the treaty and ratify l
Iouickly. He expects to see Presiden
i Wilson and is expected to ascertain
just, what reservations the presiden
1wouid accept rather than see th'
treaty die.
