Kv 14 V it fterubllcann Itad a counter proposal or would make one. Senator .otlico re- siled that Jio could not make any prop- ortion on Article X. othor thnn Die one contained In tho Indira uirogrammo of reservations. Ho said ho could not con-- nt to nnjr modification, We did' not tnlco up the Monroe Doctrine, hut Senn-to- r Lodge was equally positive there could bo no alteration of that reserva- tion.

Not Influenced hf White Home. There woe no dramatic climax to tho conference. It was agreed by nil that unless some compromise could be worked out on Article X. It would be uaeloss to continue tho meotlnm. \Wna your niovo to-d- dlscunsert with the White House In Odvancor' (Senator Hitchcock was asked. \It was not.

Kxpcctatton la that tno votes will be mustered to carry a motion to bring the treaty nln before tho Senate. A ma- jority vote means, forty-nin- e. Toward\ tnla senator1 Hitchcock has at least forty-thre- o Democrats,- - Four or five mild reservatlonlats are expected to Ijln these, and Anally there aro tile lrrecon-cl'ibl- er amon the Itepubllcans. several at least of whom, like Borah, will assist In bringing the treaty again before the Senate, because they believe that another month of discussion will end all favor for It with the country at large. Once before the Senate It la generally believed the treaty will be under con- tinuous discussion for a month, perhaps longer. That It will be ratified before tho national conventions Is hoped for by few, believed by still fewer. If It eocs over until after the national con- ventions Ita chances of ever receiving tho Senate's approval will be still less. Lodffe IlevleTre Conference Senator Lodgo presented this evening the exac amendments to the Lodge or t. reservations and explained their origin.. His statement follows: i \Kor tho last two wccki nine Honatora. five Democrats nnd four IlepubllcanH, havo been meeting to consider the ques- tion of changed In the reservations adopted by tho Benato before adjourn- ment of' the last ttoPBlon of Congress, commonly known as tho Lodgo reserva- tions, The Senators ,who thus mot did not constitute a committee. The meet\ Ings wero entirely Informal, nnd It wns understood at the ouUet they had nq power or authority whatever to bind any one. Their only purpose wb to ate whether there wero any changs which they would be willing to lay. before all other members of tho Senate for their confederation, No final agreement even to submit any changes to their fft U agues In tho Senate was reached, Spme tenlatlvb agreements were obtained, Innervations 3, 8, 12 and 13 wcro.tentn-livel- y accepted by all without change, It was tentatively agreed to submit tho following changes to all the other Sen- ators for consideration: \(a) Tho resolving clause, which Is as follows: \'llctolvcd (two-third- s of the Sena- tors present concurrlnr therein), that the Senate advise to and consent to the ratification of tho treaty pt peace with Germany concluded at Verealtlm Juno S3, 1910, subject to tho following reser vatlons and understandings \which are hereby n part and condition of this resolution of ratification, which ratlttra tlon Is not to take effect or bind the United HtatfH until the said reeerva lions and understandings adopted by the Scnato have been acceptod by an ex- change of notes as a part and a condi- tion bf thle resolution of ratification by at least three of. tho four principal allied and associated Powers, to wit, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan.' Snlixtltatn as Anreed To. 'ffho Democrats proposed to strike out- - all after the, word 'ratification' In lino six to tho end of the clause. The Ite publlcans proposed the following sub stitute : \ 'Itesolved, two-thir- of tho Senators present concurring therein, tjiat the Son-at- e advise and consent to the ratification of tho trenty ot peace with Germany slgred at Versailles Juno 28, 1919, sub- ject to the following reservations and understandings, which are hereby made n part and n 'condition of this resolu- tion of ratification, which ratification Is not to tako effect or bind the United States until the said 'reservations and understandings adopted by the Senate havo been accepted as a part and a con- dition of this resolution of ratification by tha allied and associated Towers, and a failure on the part of, the allied and associated Powers to make objections to said reservations and understandings prior to the deposit of ratifications by tho United Slates Bhall be taken as a, full acceptance' of such reservations and understandings by said Powers.' \This proposal was tentatively agreed to. \Reservation No. 4, which Is as fol 5th 9 lows: 'The United Stntea retervea to It- self exclusively the right to decide what quostlous are within its domestic Juris- diction and (Ittlqros that nit domestic; and political questions rotating wholly or In part to Its Internal affairs, Includ- ing Immigration, labor, coastwise traffic, the tnrlff, commerce, tha suppression of tralllo In women and children and In opium and other dangerous, drugs and all nther domestlo questions are solely within the Jurisdiction of the United Slates and are not under 'this treaty to bo submitted In any way either to arbi- tration or to the consideration of the council or of the assembly of tho League ot Nations or any agency thereof, or to the decision or consideration of any other rower.' Chnnuro That Were 3tntlr \Various changes wero suggested to thlf reservation. It was finally tenta- tively agreed to Insert tho word 'Internal' beforo the word 'commerce' In line five and to strlko out In Una five the words 'all other domestlo questions,' which wero n superfluous repetition. \Reservation No. 7. which was aa follows: \ 'The United States withholds Its as- sent to Articles 16C, 1C7 and 1E8 and reserves full liberty of ajtlon with respect to any controversy 'which may arise under said articles between the Itepubllo of China and the Empire of Japan.' \It was tentatively agreed to Btrlko out the rda 'between the Republic Of China nnd the Empire of Japan.' \Reservation.
