DEMOCRATS OFFER
DEFINITE PLAN FOR
PACTCOMPROM|SE

The first definite proposal for
compromise on the peace treaty res
ervations. said to have the support
of forty-four democratic senators.
was submitted today to members of
the republican reservatioEist group
by a representative of the democrats
While the. details of the proposed
compromise reservations have not
been made public it is known that
they approximate much more closely
the so-called Lodge reservations than
any proposals that have so far come
from the democrats. In fact, some
of the mild reservation group on the
republican side expressed great sat
isfaction today with the progress
that is being made toward solution
of the treaty deadlock.
1t is expected that the proposal OF
the democrats will be discussed at an
informal meeting of some OF the re-
publicans They will decide how
nearly the compromise meets with
their views. will suggest some
changes and hand the reservations
back for further consideration by the
democrats.
1t is understood that the democratic
proposals have been drafted as the
result Of an Independent movement
among the democrats without taking
into consideration either Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska or Senator
Underwood of Alabama. the contest
ants for leadership on the democratic
side. --

WAR RISK BUREAU
Senator Smoot Introduces
Bill to Transfer Duties
to Departments.

Senator Smoot of Utah today intro
duced bill to abolish the war risk
insurance bureau and transfer it's du-
reaus. He made statement in the
Senate in support of his bill, in which
he declared that the business now
transacted by the war risk insurance
bureau could be administered much
more efficiently and at much less cost
under the plan he proposes.
The bill would place the admins
tration of allotments and allowances,
now handled by the war risk bureau.
in the War Department, the Navy
Department and the coast guards. The
adjustment of claims the bill places
under the pension bureau, while the
Post Office Departmentris to handle
the insurance feature, and the ship
ping board is to transact whatever
marine insurance buainess is left to
be done, The bill would divide the
apprUpf1ations made for the war risk
insurance bureau among these various
departments and bureaus. .
-Criticises Bureau.
Senator Smoot said that the war
risk insurance act was put through
Congress under the stress of war cir
cumstances. He said that the ma
cnlnery ndQ proved uHW1eluy anu
had not operated well. He insisted
that he had no feeling against any
officer or employe of the bureau.
1t would have been far better, he
said, if the functiors of the war risk
bureau had been 1ns,rusted to de-
partments already existing at the
time the war risk bureau was created.
He said that for years the War De-
partment and the Navy Department
and the bureau of pensions had been
doing such work. BY establishing the
war risk bureau. he said. there had
been a duplication of agencies in the
government. and delays and misun-
derstandings had arisen because the
new agency did not work smoothly.

Smoot I'VE must seek the most eco
nomic and efficient administration of
the business of the war risk bureau"
He said that to all intents and pur-
poses the business of allotments and
allowances had come to an end. The
review and settlement of cases now
takes up the time of that part of the
bureau Since the end of the war, he
said, the bureau had really taken up the
business Of insurance. That it had fall
len short in this work. he said, was
shown by the relatively small amount
of insurance now in force.
