SENATE in LINE
FOR FINAL VOTE
IContinued from First Page.l

Democrats to insure it's defeat had
agreed to vote against the Lodge
resolution.
No compromise plan was drafted
by the Democrats but it was sug-
gested that after the prospective de-
feat of the Lodge reservation,
committee of Democrats would be
appointed to confer with the Re-
! publicans to That end
The way to compromise was opened
/ by the group Of mild reservation Re-
publicans. who served notice on the
Republican and Democratic, leaders
| that they would not put up the bars
entirely to modification of the COM
mittee resrrva tions, but would stand
out against and defeat the adminis-
tration's parliamentary program
With this final announcement of
how their deciding strength would
be used in the closing stages of the
Treaty contest. the mild reservation
lists retired TO the back ground. The
result was that Republican Leader
Lodge and Democratic Leader Hitch
cock faced each other and laid all
their cards on the table.
To Final Decision
The conference between the two
| leaders brought no final decision as
to the language OF compromise rat
| ification, but ii did develop an agree
ment that the Democrats would have
the opportunity for which they have
fought to secure a show down vote

t1cn. This veto, Mr.. Lodge said would
be permitted before the rollcall of
the committee resolution.
