HAYS PROOS COP.
SENATORS TO SPEED
UP ON PEACE TREATY
Republican Leader to Confer in
Lodges Office With Other
Party Chiefs.
FEARS CONGRESS- RECoDR

Washington, Feb 4.-Wil III. HAYS,
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, is expected TO urge Rcpub-
licans TO make every possible effort to
ratify the peace treaty when he appears
tomorrow at the Capitol.
MIR. Hays is coming to meet the Con-
gressional members of the recently Gre
ated Republican committees on policies
and platform in Mr.. Lodges Office He
IS expected to supplement his frequent
long-dlstance telephone admonitions TO
Republican Senator'S TO hurry with the
treaty, 10y personal appeals to them to-
day.
He is prepared to point out, it WAS
said today, the importance of getting
the treaty disposed of with the least
possible delay so that a good legislative
record may be made on appropriation
bills and other measures, and that it
may be completed in ample time for the
Republican national convention IN June.
Senator Borah said last night that Pre-
mier Lloyd George tried TO reach Presi-
dent Wilson through Niscount Grey with
statement that the Lodge reservations
TO the treaty would be satisfactory to the
British government and failed, and thate
therefore he appealed directly TO Tia
Senate through the Grey letter.
In discussing the action of tho British
Special Ambassador, Mr.. Borah said that
MIR. Lloyd George would have stated pub
hcly his willingness to accept the Lodge
reservations but for the fact that such
statement would have given offense to
President Wilson. The Senator declared
that the British Premier consulted the
best lawyers in London and some in
America concerning the effect of the reser-
vations on the activities of the League of
Nations. Their verdict. according to Mr..
Borah, was that the reservations would
be harmless because they would be sub
lect to- construction by the League, and
no appeal from the construction would
ba possible
