RATIFICATION NOW
DEPENDS ON WILSON
VIEW IN WASHINGTON

Washington, Mar 6.-While house
officials in discussing today the move
of administration senators to arrange
a conference with President Wilson to
discuss the peace treaty situation, said
the president had told Senator Glass,
of Virginia, two weeks ago, what his
attitude was toward a compromise on
the article ten reservation.
1t was said there had been no de-
cision as to whether the president
would see the senators in response to
the request of Senator Hitchcock.
Those close to the president, how
ever, pointed out that Senator Glass
must have informed his colleagues as
to Mr. Wilson's position.
The presidents attitude toward fur
ators as reflected at the White House
was learned with manifest disappoint-
ment by democratic and republican
senators who have been working for a
compromise. 1t was said the negotia-
tions would continue, but many sena-
tors predicted that if Mr.. Wilson de-
clined to consider further compromise
proposals the hope of ratification
would be greatly diminished.
Among some of the republicans, how
ever, 1t was predicted that a refusal tc
see Senator Simmons would result ir
further defections from the admins
tration ranks and might lead to Q
break sufficient to secure acceptance
of the republican reservations.
The compromise proposals Senator
Simmons had planned to present tC
the president were worked out in ne
gotiations between substantial groups
Of the two parties with Senator Sim
mons acting for the democrats ant

publicans.
