Results of the poll were also commu nicated directly to the Republican and Democratic leaders in the treaty con test, adding to the force of other re cent expressions -of popular opinion. Senator McNary today declared that unusual progress Is being made toward a compromise. It was learned the mild reserVationiats have received tentative compromise suggestions from a group of Democrats who claim that all except three or four Democrats will support them. These proposals are said to be largely acceptable to the reservation Republicans except as to Article X, which remains the greatest obstacle to an agreement The Democratic overtures are said to retain the obligations of that article, but provide forc shall not be used by this country except by direct authority of congress.
