According to Senator Hitchcock's
statement it would seem that the inn
proved chances of ratification were
due entirely to q disposition on the
part Of the Republicans to be more
liberal
While no statement from Senator
Lodge was obtainable, lieutenants of
the Republican senate leader attrib-
uted the improved chance of ratifi-
cation entirely to Democratic initia-
tive towards the compromise.
The negotiations for a compromise
agreement being undertaken by Sem
ators Kendrick. and Mcclellan, they
thought offered hope of RATIFICATION
They still insisted that the Demo-
Gratis would have to accept the Lodge
reservations with no substantial
change II compromise were to be
cached.
The mild reservationists on both
sides OF the cha m Der were found to
base the hope of a compromise on
the expectation that a compromise
proposal could be evolved which
would gain a sufficient number of ad-
herents from the stalwarts on both
sides to insure the requisite. sixty
four votes
Despite the chalfenge ISSUED from
both the president and Senator Lodge
to fight out the treaty issue in the
campaign, the mild reservationists
inclined to the belief that many mem
bers of the senate who have stood
constantly with Mr.. Lodge. and many
on the Democratic side, who have
constantly supported the policy of
the president. are anxious. if possible.
