Lowell Explains Letter
to accept

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, jan 9.-Presi.
dent Lowell OF Harvard when asked to.
day about his letter TO Senator Walsh
on the peace treaty said.
H'The advice contained in the some
what personal letter to Senator Walsh
was not that Article 10 should be
stricken out of the treaty but that
there were objections to it OF such a
character that it would seem to be a
mistake for the Democrats to stand
too firmly against a reservation on
Article 10.
q have never changed my attitude
which is that the treaty should be rat.
flied with such reservations as are nee
essary TO secure the required two thirds
vote. The differences now existing be.
tween the President and the majority
of Republicans are far less important
than the immediate ratification of tho
| treaty. The statements in the foreign
press seem to imply that foreign gov
ernments would accept the reserya
| tions for the sake of having the Unit
ed States an immediate party to the
treaty.
