Treaty Compromise Efforts.
IBy l.. c. Martin. United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-Attention
was directed to Senator Lodge today
to see how he will proceed with his
treaty compromise efforts, in view of
the insurrection within his own party
against any weakening of the repub-
llican reservations.
Lodge called another meeting Of
the bipartisan treaty conference for
today, but he alone knows whether
it will meet. If there is any uncec-
tainty in his mind about the repu5ti-
can attitude toward a continuation OF
the pow pows" he will defer it, his
friends said.
Lodges friends were confident,
however, that they have prevented a
revolt from his leadership. They
have explained to Borah and the
other "irreconcilables" that Lodge "is
playing square" with all factions in
his party and that it would be un-
wise to create an internal disturb
! ance in the party ranks at this point.
Borah said today that he is after
results, and if they can be obtained
without party squabble, so much
the better.
