HARMONY ON
PACT IS NOW
CERTAINTY
President and Foreign Rela
tions Committee Get To
gether to Give Public De
tails of White House Meet
RATIFICATION WITH
RESERVATION LIKELY
Report to Senate May Be Ex
pected in About 1 0 Days
Says Hitchcock
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. Nego
tiations between Democratic and Re
publican senators looking to ratifi
cation of the peace treaty with res
ervations reached a more definite
stage today while President Wilson
and the foreign relations committee
were getting together- on unprece
dented measures to give the publlit
all the detail of their discussion of
the treaty next Tuesday at the White
House.
Democratic leaders, feeling onlj
sentiment on the. Republican side
were told that the treaty never could
be ratified without qualification but
that more than 20 Republican want
ed to see it accepted in the near fu
ture with reservations along the
line of those agreed on by seven sen
ators or that party some days ago.
White Hon. e Apprised
This information came from mem
bers of the group of seven after com
pletion of a poll begun Wednesday
on receipt of the first Democratic
overtures. The twenty, needed by
the Democrats to make the neces
sary ratification majority of 64, had
not accepted the proposed reserva
tion program in exact form, it was as
serted, but had given their assent to
its general provisions.
Afterward Senator Hitchcock.
the Democratic leader, went to the
White Honse and is understood to
have laid the whole senate situation
before the president. He indicated
that the administration (stand for
unreserved ratification remained un
changed. Some of the seven reser
vation Republicans, however, insist
that they have had information as
suring Democratic assent to their
program.
New Draft Prepared
A new draft of reservations was
shown to several Republicans durinjr
the day by Senator Lodge. It is un
derstood to cover the four points em
braced in the program agreed on by
the seven senators and to include al
so a provision that appointment of
American representatives on the
league council must have senate ap
proval. The other four provisions
relate to the Monroe doctrine, with
drawal from membership, jurisdic
tion over purely domestic questions
and the right of congress to declare
war under article ten of the league
covenant.
Plans for the White House confer
ence Tuesday were virtually com-
pleted with an agreement that both
White House and committee stenog
raphers should be present and that
a transcript of the discussions should
be Issued to the press.
The proposal that stenographers
be present came from the president
in reply to a request that the com
mittee members should not be re
strained to secrecy. Mr. Wilson said
he would provide a stenographer and
suggested that the committee also
bring one. Chairman Lodge said it
would be done.
Although it began discussion of
proposed amendments to the treaty
today, the committee decided to vote
on none of them until it had talked
with the president.
The question of how soon the com
mittee would report to the senate
was one of the subjects most earnest
ly discussed in the many conferences
held by the senators during the day.
When the Democratic leaders said
they believed 20 Republicans would
exert their influence for early com
mittee action, it was made clear by
the reservation Republicans that
they had not promised and Republi
can votes for a motion to take the
treaty out of the committee's hands.
After his White House conference.
Senator Hitchcock said the commit
tee might report within ten days or
two weeks.
