PUBLIC APPROVAL SHOWN or
SENATE'S POSITION
(From the Washington PosO

Democratic senators upon President
wilson's advice having voted against
ratification OF the treaty OF peace.
on account OF the reservations
afrecd upon by the Senate. the
adheance of sthe United states
10 the treaty and the league OF
nations seems further away than
ever. A compromise OF some kind is
discussed but II is a certainty that
no compromise viii be made which
woakens the position already taken
by tho Senate. The public approval
OF the Senate's measures to American
ixc and constitutionalize the treaty
has been unmistakcable. Any ten
dency OF the Senate majority to sur
render now. after the victory has
been won would be like an agree
ment 20 fight over again battle
that has been decisive. Whatever
the parliamentary complications may
be the United States will not rat
10 the treaty without explicit and
sweeping reservations.
The effect Of these reservations
is similar In some respects Go re-
lection OF tho treaty. but there h
q vide difference between reserved
ratification and notification. In one
case the United States participates
in a modified manner in the exc
cusion az the peace treaty and the
formation OF the league OF nations.
ard in the other case Il remains alcof
from both. The difference is wen
understood by all senator's. but
politics may induce them TO con-
strue IL differently.
