clared that Senator Lodge had
changed his mind twice when an
agreement seemed almost at hand as
to a compromise.
1t is an anomalous situation Sen
ator simmons said, when, by reason
of an iron bound agreement of some
sort. which probably had been entered
into at the very beginning of this con
troversy, those who wanted to ratify
the treaty on the republican side could
not vote their convictions without con-
sulting men who differed from them
on every fundamental principle"
Mr.. Lodge Answers Assertions
Senator Lodge declared there had
been no conspiracy" and that repub-
Iican senators only had been "endeav
oring to act together
I'VE cannot conduct matters on this
side of the aisle," said Mr. Lodge .as
they are conducted on that side. We

fication in this reservation which
would permit as many senators as
possible to support it. But we have
reached the limit. The parting of the
ways has come, and if senators on the
other side cannot supply the necessary
votes to ratify the treaty with the
reservations as they now stand, then
on their heads be it, and we will take
it to the tribunal of the American
people,
Senator Borah said he had been

There is just this much alliance
between the president and myself"
Said Senator Borah, '.as there is be-
tween the senator from Massachusetts
and myself"
