WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Senator
King, of Utah, is coming to the fore
in the treaty situation and is believed
to be engineering a new effort al
compromise. His ideas on this cub.
ject are set forth In the following
statement:
CBy Senator William Fl. King, Writ.
ten for. the United Press.l
still entertain the hope have
repeatedly stated, that the treaty,
with reservations, would be ratified
at an early date. If what is called
the Cancellation committee. consist
ing Of a.. number Of republican and
democratic senators, fails to reach
an agreement as to reservations,
then there are two courses, in my
opinion. open to the senate, either
one OF which is practicable and would
be attended with successful results,
One course is for the senate, in
open legislative session, to take UP
consideration Of peace under the
present cloture rule OF the senate
SI believe that there are snffieen,
senator's desiring ratification Of the
treaty to secure the two-thirds vote
upon the resolution OF ratification
containing reservations which would
not destroy the treaty and would
meet with the approval Of the Ameri-
can people.
The other course would be for
those senators who are sincerely de-
sirous of having the treaty ratified
to meet In informal conferences.
I am sanguine that more than two
thirds Of the senators would partici-
pate in such conferences, and that
with free and frank discussion a
satisfactory result would be reached.
The time has come when the senate
should ratify the treaty and conces-
sions should be made by senators IN
order to effectuate that end.
