Gu the peace treaty, with interpre-
tive reservations which are to be
acceptable to President Wilson, are
seen Following a midnight meeting

ma.
1t is understood that no program
was drafted at the meeting but it is
indicated that the senators who fig
ured in the meeting ere determined
to go ahead with their plans.
Relative to the treaty Sen. Hitch
cock is credited with the following
statement:
There has been no change in the
attitude of the minority and there
will be none. Republicans under
stand that the presidents letter was
H. finality so far as the minority is
concerned, and democrats under
stand that they must keep the rec
ord clear. To do anything else
would be to wreck the party"
According to Senator Hitchcock
settlement it would seem TO provide
chances of ratification were due en-
tirely to a disposition on the part Of
the republicans to be more liberal.
While no statement from Senator
Lodge was obtanable, lieutenants OF
he republican senate leader attrib
uted the improved chance of ratifica'
tion entirely to democratic initiative
towards compromise. The negof
tions for a compromise agreement
being undertaken by Senators Ken
drick and McKeLer, they thought
offered hope OF ratification. They
still insisted that the democrats
would have to accept the Lodge res
ervations with no substantial change

sides of tine chamber were found tc

the expectation that a compromise
proposal could be evolved which
would gain a sufficient number on

both sides to insure the required
GA votes.
