BAN ON ARTICLE

Wilson Will Pocket Treaty it
Lodge Proposal is Added
SAYS ARTICLE 10 is VITAL
Stand Delights Irreconcilables - Ad'
ministration Senators Expected
To Refuse To Yield
Further.

Washington.-Defn final notice
that he will pocket the peace treaty
if it comes before him with the Lodge
reservation attached was served on the
Senate by President Wilson.
In a letter to Senator Gilbert M.
Hitchcock, minority leader, the Presi-
dent brands practically every reserVa-
ton in the Lodge program as a nulll-
fcation of the covenant.
Either we should enter the League
fearlessly," his letter declares, accept
ing the responsibility of not fearing the
role of leadership which we now enjoy,
contributing our efforts toward }estab-
fishing just and permanent peace, or
we should retire as gracefully as pos
sible from the great concert of powers
by which the world was saved. For
my own part, am not willing to trust
to the counsel of diplomats the work
ing out of any salvation of the world
from the things which it has suffered y
The effect of the Presidents letter,
written with all his old-time force and
hitting power assures defeat of the
treaty, according to- the opinion gen.
orally expressed in Senate quarters.
Administration Senators, who for sew
eral days have been showing dispo.
sition to weaken, now for the most
part will stand firm against the Lodge
program, it is believed. Their votes
added to those of the ''irreconcilables,
will be sufficient to prevent the two
thirds majority necessary for ratiica'
tion.
The President shows clearly and un'
mistakabiy that he stands precisely
where he stood when the matter OF
reservations was first proposed. The
maximum he would consent to would
be Interpretations that
would simply state well-recogn1zed
facts as to the constitutional limita
tions which surround every treaty
negotiated by this Government, al
though even these he would regard as
works of supererogation.
So far as Article 10 is concerned, ne
still looks upon it as the cornerstone
of the whole document Of the League
of Nations.
