RATIFICATION PEACE TREATY
 SEEMS NEARER
Agreement Is Practically Reached on Interpreta-
 tions as to US. Position

WASHINGTON. Jan. S.-Early ratification of the Kellogg peace pact appeared possibility last night and a day of conferences brought agreement nearer on the dispute whether interpretation of America's rights under the pact are necessary.
 The tentative agreement calls for report by the Foreign Rela- tions Committee stating it's inter pretation of American rights under the treaty and transmission of this report to other powers.
 Senator Reed, of Missouri. and others fighting for an interpreta- tive resolution are ready to ac- cept the proposition.
 Senator Borah, Foreign Rela- tions Committee Chairman, who is leading the fight for the pact, in- sisted last night the agreement was ''by no means certain yet"
 There are definite indications from other treaty proponents they will not oppose the proposal un- der agreement
 The interpretative report would state this country does not con- sider the treaty infringes upon the right of America to defend her self or territories, or embarrass in any way her rights under the Monroe Doctrine, and it does not involve America in any obligation to enforce the treaty.

With only two exceptions, the state de- partment explains, these codes have been based on English com mon law, and have been modified by more liberal statutes.
