Today MAY DECIDE
FATE OF TREATY
Compromise on Article x and
Monroe Doctrine Hoped for
at Conference
DEBATE ON FLOOR is FEARED

Washington, Jan. 30.-The fate Of
fnture private negotiations between
Democratic and Republican leaders to
effect a compromise or peace treaty
reservations rests in large measure
on the outcome OF today's session Of
the bipartisan conference postponed uu-
I'll today by the absence Of Senator Len
root, Wisconsin. one Of the Republican
conferees.
The principals of the conference were
understood TO be well fortified with COM
promise proposals and u vigorous effort
70 overcome objections TO the ~eSorva-
tions regarding Article X and the Mon
roe Doctrine was expected. These are
the only remaining obstacles to the
formation Of n united program designed
to clear the treaty out Of the Senate.
Opposition to bringing the treaty once
more into the open Senate Is based,
fundamentally, senators said. upon no
litical considerations. The first objcc
tion is that it means stopping the Sen
ate's legislative machinery at q time
when all possible speed consistent with
safety is demanded ii the essentials ~ n
big legislative program are to be taken
care of in time TO permit a recess next
June for the national conventions of the
two parties. These essentials include
fourteen appropriation bills, which. in
addition to being needed to keep the
government departments running, are
held to be politically indispensable.
The Democrats are reluctant TO clog
the legislative wheels b. calling up the
treaty, because that would also inter
fere with their campaign plans. One OF
the chief talking points of Demo
cratic orators is to be the charge Of in.
efficiency and do -nothingress by the he.
publican Congress
There is another political objection to
the plan announced by Senator Hitch.
cock. 1t is that certain record votes
might be forced upon senator's which
would prove embarrassing. particularly
TO those who are seeking re election.
Still another objection advanced is
that bringing the treaty in before sixty
four senator's have agreed TO q set of
reservations would give the irreconcil-
ables in both parties an opportunity to
take advantage of the disorganization Of
the treaty friends and revive in the
country the opposition to certain pro-
visions which was stirred up in the first
treaty debate.

Southern Russia was known as the
Ukraine. This territory, which in
cludes Odessa, has been attempting to
set up stable government of its own
for many months Lured by Lenine's
promise of recognition, the Ukrainians
co operated with the armies of soviet
Russia in the successful campaign
against General Denikine, who operated
in this general region.
The exact relationship between
Ukrainia and the Russian soviet
government is not known here. Dis
patches suggest that Ukrainia is some
what in sympathy with the Bolshoviki
although not actually in alliance with
them. A recent report stated that
Odessa had been captured by the Rus
sian Bolshcviki from the dwindling
anti soviet forces, but this report was
never confirmed.
