PEACE TABLE POLICY
Limited Occupation of Rhine
land Held Most Secure.
WASHINGTON, July 19. Although
administration leaders both in execu
tive and senate circles discount the
possibility of President Wilson accept
ing any reservations in the ratifica
tion of the peace treaty and league of
nations, some republican senators who
have told the president in their con
ferences that a majority will favor in
terpretative reservations are discussing
what middle ground may be found upon
which the opposing forces may unite.
Administration senators continue firm
in their claim that they will have the
votes to pass the treaty without change,
consequently they do not care to dis
cuss what might happen if they failed
to muster them.
Meanwhile the republicans who favor
the league of nations idea but have
told the president reservations will
have to be made, are working on plans
which they feel will be acceptable.
It develops that if the president is
making any effort to sound out the en
tente powers on possible reservations,
as has been reported, none of the usual
channels of the entente embassies in
Washington are being used.
The discussions among the republi
cans seem to range around a tentative
eet of reservations which might be out
lined this way:
That nothing in Article 10 shall be
construed to obligate the United States
to enter war without & declaration of
war by congress;
That nothing in the covenant shall
In any way impair the Monroe doctrine
or curtail the nation's prerogative of
administering jt as a purely national
policy; and.
That it shall be understood that in ac
cepting the covenant the United States
does not subtract from its sovereign
right to determine purely domestic
problems, such as immigration and the
tariff.
Additional Guarantees SooEkt.
These and other similar reservations,
designed to give additional guarantees
of the right of independent national ac
tion without vitiating the fabric of the-
league, might satisfy, it Is figured, a
considerable group of republican sena
tors who are favorable to some sort of
a, peace league.
At the same time, their sponsors ar
gue, the propositions thus put forward
do not run counter in any way to the
professed tenets of the administration.
The administration leaders declare these
propositions already are either set forth
with sufficient clearness in the present
covenant or else are the natural corol
laries of the league principles.
The objection to such reservations as
expressed from the administration point
of view is that they might necessitate
re-negotiation, encourage other nations
to make reservations, cause delav and
confusion and finally endanger the
whole league plan. President Wilson
is said, in talking with senators, to have
described the present political status
of Europe as a field In which it may
be very difficult to carry on such a re
negotiation. .,
Treaty Considered Contract.
To that end the administration forces
are determined to make a fight for
unreserved ratification. Senator Pitt
man of Nevada, democrat, of the for
eign relations committee, outlined this
position to the senate recently and will
speak on the legal aspects of reserva
tions next week. He takes the posi
tion that the treaty must be considered
in the light of a. contract, and that
not a word can be added or erased
without the consent of the other
parties.
Opposing that view, some of the re
publicans generally favorable to a
league take the stand that treaty pro
cedure is a less exact science than con
tract law. and that reservations merely
calculated to set forth the senate's in
terpretation of certain clauses could
De attacned without sending the cove
nant back and re-opening negotiations.
The possibility of securing the assent
to reservations by other powers be
forehand has been discussed between
republican and democrat senators, but
if any steps have been taken in that
direction it is without the knowledge
of some of those most interested in the
reservation problem.
In his conference with Senator Hitch
cock Mr. Wilson is known to have ex-
"-pressed strongly the feeling that it was
only necessary to clear up misunder
standings in order to reach a solution
of the senate situation. Some senators
interpreted this position, taken after
seeing seven republicans, as suggesting
that the president might have in mind
some definite plan to bring togeher the
administration senators and those re
publicans who are for interpretative
reservations.
Such a plan would not appeal to the
group of republicans led by Senator
Borah, republican, Idaho, who advo
cates eliminating entirely some fea
tures which the president thinks vital.
The exact extent of reservations favored
by senators led by Senator Lodge or
the foreign relations committee and
Senator Knox, republican of Pennsy!
vania. never has been definitely re
vealed. . .
The Shantung situation, which has
aroused a storm at senate protest, con
fidently is expected by some of the
president's recent callers to be the sub
ject soon of a White House declaration,
either in the form of a public statement
or a message to the senate. Some of
the republicans believe this declaration
will change the aspect of this situa
tion, though none has announced he
would support it.
The senate was not in session today
and the foreign relations committee
also took a rest in its preliminary
reading of the treaty text Both will
meet Monday. On Tuesday President
wnson is expected to see more re
publican senators at the White House.

PARIS, July 19. (Special cable.)
Although the attitude of the chamber
of deputies was rather opposed to the
government. Premier Clemenceau bad
little difficulty Ir convincing the for
eign affairs committee of that body
that his policy at the peace table was
superior to that of Marshal Foch. Un
til a late hour last evening the pre
mier was closeted with the members
of the foreign affairs committee at the
Palais Bourbon. He revealed with the
frankness characteristic of him on such
occasions the reasons why it was pref-
eraDie to adopt the principle of a lim
ited occupation of the Rhineland. nlui
a Franco-Anglo-American defensive al
liance, rather than hold out for the
permanent seizure of the Rhine brldge-
uea.ua, wnicn was so stronarlv sud-
ported by the inter-allied generalis
simo.
Maxliaom Security Bought.
"It was necessary to choose." the Tl
ger exclaimed, "and I chose that which
wouia give France the maximum of ae
curity."
The premier made it clear to hla au
oitors that the acceptance of Marshal
Foch's proposals bv the French nam
delegation would have committed the
republic to stand guardalone on tbe
Rhine with no assurances of future
help, should any emergency require it.
Irom Great Britain and the United
siates, DOtn ot which powers were
emphatically opposed to the marshal's
scheme.
The demand of the foreign affairs
committee was formulated through
Henry Franklin-Bouillon, chairman of
the committee, for the text of Marshal
Foch's letters to Premier Clemenceau as
well ss for the stenographic record of
he marshal's remarks at the final se
cret meeting of the conference. This
demand was granted by Premier Clem
enceau after considerable debate. It is
probable that M. Franklin-Bouillon's
threat to have read from the rostrum
of the chamber of deputies the two let
ters, which set forth In detail Marshal
Foch's ideas of how France had been
protected on her eastern frontiors. In
fluenced M. Clemenceau considerably in
yielding this point.
Clel Refuses Demands.
He warned M. Henry Franklin-Bouillon
and his fellow committeemen that
the responsibility would rest with them
if anv improper use were maae or let
ters which are deemed confident. To
their further demand for the stenogra
phers' reports of the big four's delib
erations and other secret conference
discussions Premier Clemenceau replied
with a flat refusal. He said those doc
uments could be communicated only
with the consent of the other powers
concerned. He called to mind that
similar request by the foreign relations
committee of the United States senate
has not yet been approved by Presi
dent Wilson.
Commenting upon certain allegations
that Marshal Foch -had been treated
cavalierly and that his suggestion had
been ignored bv the allied statesmen,
Premier Clemenceau observed that the
marshal had enjoyed the fullest oppor
tunities to express his views either
verbally or in writing and that be had
done so on several occasions before the
council of four, the French cabinet and
the peace conference Itself.
Training: Period May Be Reduce.
The premier averred that the guaran
tees provided by the temporary occu
pation of the Knlneiana, tne aisarma
ment of Germany, by the defensive al
liances and other protective, measures
provided for in the treaty, would prob
ably permit a reduction in the period
of compulsory military service in
France. Two years' training instead o
three, he added, might be sufficient, bu
that was for the country to decide at
general election. "
While there is no doubt that th
foreign affairs committee, as a wholi
was favorably impressed by the Tiger'
utterances, which with the overtures
addressed to him, consumed thre
hours, much bitterness marked the
sitting. At one stage of it M. Frank
lln-Boulllon abruptly left the room
