f I ? ???___ LETTER FROM WILSON GIVES TREATY VIEWS Feature of Propose*:! Reservations? Agrees in Substar.ce to Some Prop- ?r Is. Washington. ! % : . 7. A 'otter from President Wilson, n-i-ewin." hi- objection to some -features of the peace treaty reservations f red by the Republican majority of the senate, furnished the basis of a long; and earnest discussion today in a conference of Democratic senators called to M-K.if ; <i? trentv r> Wiiaiuvri \? w? ? -friends should pars- when it again comes before the senate next week. rThe only decision reached was to cooperate in the pariiyjncn';:vy action necessary to reopen ouestion of ratification and to work fc:* an acceptable compromise on reservation.".. * Just what sort of compromise should w be considered acceptable was debated F in the light of varying interpretations of the president's letter, but there was no attempt to frame a definite reservation program. Striking directly at the Republican reservation on article 10 and varQllhstitut 2S. tilO Pl'CSi 1UUO pi vpu-j^v. , dent wrote that any reservation which said that "the United States assumes no obligation under such and A such an article unless or except" ? would be likely to "chill" the relation* W ship between this country and the I other powers. A substitute for article I 10 reservation containing this lanI guage, which lias been under consideration by the recently disbanded bipartisan compromise committee, -the president wrote, "was very unfortu?though he aereed with j IIO LC III xuiin; ... w W the substance. ] L?t*er to Hitchcock. The letter was written on January i ? 26, while the bi-partisan negotia- i tions were in progress and before publication of the letter of Viscount, Grey, former British ambassador to 1 the United States, on the acceptability of the Republican reservations. It f was addressed to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the Democratic leader ' i of the seriate, who laid ii before the conference today. Wide disagreement was x in the conference, and private dis-' cussion among: senators regarding: the ' probable effect *of the communication on the treaty's < Ounces of ratification. Some interpreted the letter ,' as merely a reiteration of ;he views previously expressed by the executive, while others professed to see in it a tendency toward con-promise. ' Comparing it with former utr:-ances 01 the president, tlu ?e sena'ors pointed out that it contained no statement that he considered the language quoted as nullifying the treaty or j constituting a rejection. j Senator Hitchcock declared no, change in the Democratic attitude was indicated either by the letter or r ^ the proceedings ot the corueuiac. The Democratic senate forces remained determined, he said, not to accept the Republican Article 10 reservation unless it were modified. Opening of Correspondence. Senator Hitchcock made public to1 night his letter and that of the presi??i. statement! Gent xii iuc jvuv.....^ The president's letter, dated January 26, was called forth by a letter which I wrote him on the evening: of the day in which the bi-partisan conference in Senator Lodge's office came , so near to agreeing to a reservation on Article 10.
