with prospects for compromise
dimmed and with factional differences
revived in all their intensity.
Though the republican and democra-
tic conferences on compromise were
scheduled to meet today In Senator
Lodges office, belief was general
that agreement on compromise ratifi-
cation is out of the question at pres
emit
Through sudden twist yesterday
the hopes of compromise apparently
were dashed IrreconciIable republi-
cans, who all along have demanded
utter rejection of the treaty called
Lodge into Senator Hiram Johnson's
office and told him they represented
"a very large number of senators who
would vote for treaty rejection rather
than accept any change In the Lodge
reservations"
The bipartisan treaty conference
was again called off today by Senator
Lodge. Lodge notifier democratic
senators he wished to consult with his
republican colleagues.
The calling off Of today's conference
was the first definite result of yester-
days insurrection, in republican ranks
which brought about warning to
Lodge that any compromise on the
treaty would endanger party solidarity
and his leadership.
Lodge and the republican conferees
went into secret session to discuss
their course in the light OF yesterdays
events.
Lodge later announced that he will
spend today and tomorrow comforting
with republicans and will call the
bipartisan conference together on
Monday.
He pointed to what he called the
hopeless weakness" of the position
taken by the irreconcilables. They
voted against all reservations or rati-
fication in any form, Lodge recalled,
and want TO kill the treaty. He sug-
gested that when they go to senators
urging them to bolt if any change is
made in the Lodge proposal they must
be prepared to answer this question:
"Will you, an irreconcilable, vote for
the Lodge reservations if no change
is made in them2"
Senator Sherman, Illinois, has seen
this weakness, Lodge said, as indi-
Gated in statement to the effect that
he is now willing to vote for the
