Washington; July 2. The next
Important move in the eenate disagree
ment over- reservations to the peace
treaty is expected to come from Presi
dent Wilson.
Having canvassed the senate situa
tion in his conference with 15 republi
can eenatora, all of whom are said to
lrave told him they would support cer
tain reservations, it is believed that the
president soon will make known defir
nltely his attitude toward such' a
course. It was indicated at the White
House today, that expression of his
views on the .subject might not await
his speaking tour to begin two weeks
hence, but might be embodied in a pub
lic statement in a few days.
This aroused great interest among
republican senators. Several repub
licans have told Mr. Wilson the treaty
never could be ratified without interpre
tative qualifications and yesterday at
the suggestion, it is understood, of Re
publican Leader Lodge, a tentative
draft of reservations indicating in a
general way the trend of opinion among
many republicans was laid before the
president by Senator Spencer, repub
lican, Missouri,
Leaders for reservations eay it is now
the president's move.
Programme la Outlined.
The group of republicans, who, under
the lead of Senator McCumber, North
Dakota, and Mc.Nary, Oregon, are work
ing on a reservation programme de
signed to clarify the league of nations
covenant without vitally weakening it.
believe the president will announce his
acceptance of such a course and that
quick ratification of the treaty will en
tile. In their talks with Mr. Wilson,
they say. he has indicated no radical
antagonism to senate qualification, his
only fear being tfiat the whole subject
might be thrown back into re-negotiation.
The president's democratic support
ers in the senate are not in accord with
this view and predict he will assert
himself for unreserved ratification and
then go to the country- in an effort to
fortify public sentiment behind that
stand.
The president saw no republican sen
ators today, but in a letter to Mr. Lodge
replied to inquiries , about the treaty
sent to the White House by the foreign
relaions committee. He wrote that so
far as he knew. no. decision had been
reached for division of Germany's in
demnity payments under the treaty's
provision that-it shall be allotted among
her enemies "in the proportion which
has been determined by them in ad
vance." The letter also said Mr. Wil
son was preparing to send the commit
tee papers they had asked for in con
nection with the Versailles negotiations.
Data Asked For.
The last sentence of the letter was
interpreted in some quarters as mean
ing the president would withhold some
of the documents in his possession,
though the committee s resolution was
very sweeping in character, asking for
"all dat- that concerned the negotia
tions.
The president's letter to Mr. Lodge
said:
"In response to your letter of July
22 requesting ne. on behalf of the com
mittee on foreign relations to send to
the committee the agreement, referred
to In article 237 of the treaty with
Germany, in the event that such an
agreement has been determined upon
by the allied and associated govern
ments, I would say that so far as
know such an agreement has not yet
, been reached. As I recollect the bust
ness, an attempt was being made to
reach such an agreement, but I have
not yet learned of an agreement having
been arrived at.
"May I not add. with regard to the
other request which I have received
from the committee for papers and in
formation for various sorts, that I was
not able to bring from Paris a com
plete file of papers. I brought with
me only those which happened to be
in my hands when I left France. These
alone constitute a considerable mass
of papers, and I have been going over
them as rapidly as time and my en
gagements permitted, and must beg the
committee's indulgence for the delay
in informing them which I can supply
mem with.
Today Chairman Lodge discussed
some features of the treaty with Secre
tary Lansing. Mr. Lodge is understood
to have suggested that the committee
have the benefit of expert advice on
some sections, particularly those deal
ing with alien enemy property. It i
expected that Bradley Palmer and
others who advised the American dele
gation at Versailles, will appear before
the committee next week.
President llson had intended, it
was said at the White House, to go to
the capitol this afternoon and talk
over the treaty situation with adminis
tration senators. He abandoned the
plan when he learned the senate was
not in session and that Senator Hitch
cock, Nebraska, the administration
leader In the treaty fifrht. was out o
town. The foreign relations committee
expects to complete preliminary read
Ing ot the treaty text Monday.
Bitter 1-lght Likely.
in the opinion of many republican
tenaiors tne lines to be drawn in th
reservation controversy rests with th
president. They say if he gives his
assent to a reservation programme tie
signed to further safeguard national
interests, they quickly can come t
such an agruement as to insure ratifi
cation of the treaty. But if he takes
an uncompromising stand for unre
served ratification and then by publi
speeches attempts to discredit th
ocnaiors who are noicing. out against
it, ine opposition leaders look for
long and bitter fight. '
