BANNED BY WILSON
Washington Believes He Will Re-
ject Treaty if it Goes
Through.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 23.ZThere
is growing impression tina. Senator
Hitchcock has heard from the White
House directly or indirectly, and that the
message or the deduction from IL Is that
the President will not accept ratification
of the German peare treaty IT the Lodge
reservation To Article 10 is a part of 1T.
Saturdays proceedings in the Senate
indicated that number Of Democrats
who loyalty have followed Hitchcock in
his battles 20 get a compromise on which
twc-thirds of the Senate could unite had
been weaned away by the feeling that il
might be better to take the Lodge reser-
walton than have the treaty fail
1t was after Ashurst, Fletcher, Hender-
son, Meyers, Nugent, IIoke Smith and
Trammell had joined Gorc and Shields IN
voting for the Lodge withdrawal amend
ment that movement would evcntuate
for the acceptance OF the reservation to
Article X by the Democrats. Sure enough
it came along in the form of suggestion
by Senator Simmons to Hitchcock that
the Democrats be called together in order
TO ascertain how the majority felt 10
further yielding in order to get the treaty
ratified.
The idea was that some Democrats
were contendiDg that il was better STRAIT
cgy for the Democrats to furnish enough
votes 70 ratify the treaty along the Lodge
lines, rather than to have the spectacle of
divided party placed before The country.
thus giving The Republicans an oppor-
tunity of pointing out that, though a
majority favored ratification on this
basis, the Democrats were responsible
for continuing technical war. This argu-
ment found number of supporters.
