RESERVATIONS BUT TWO
Twenty Minute Allowance Except
a. to Article < and Voting
Strength in League.

Steps were taken by Senator Lodge
the republican leader, to speed up
votes on the pending treaty reserva-
tions as soon as the Senate met to-
day. He asked unanimous consent
that each senator be limited to twenty
minutes debate on all the remaining
reservations except the reservation
on article ten Of the league covenant
recognised ias the chief stumbling
block in the way Of ratification,
Senator Hitchcock, the democratic
leader. insisted that reservation XIV,
which seeks to equalize the voting
strength of the United States in the
league Of nations with the voting
strength Of the British empire, be
excepted from the agreement. Sena-
tor Lodge yielded to this request, and
the unanimous consent agreement
limiting debate on the remaining
Lodge reservations except two was
then entered into.
Negotiations for compromise
which would permit the ratification
Of the treaty still continued today.
It was considered unlikely. however,
that any agreement could be reached
until after the contents of the letter
which PRESIDENT Wilson is writing to
Senator Hitchcock become known.
