Ofily for a brief period, Just be fore adjournment was there any dis cussion of i he pending reservation. which deals with the decision of do mestic questions under the league. Adoption of the reservation in its original form was advocated by Sen ator Smith, Democrat, Georgia, who argued that the substitute presented by Senator Hitchcock would amount to amendment of the treaty. The leaders on both Bides made j separate canvasses of the attitude of Democratic senators towards accep tance of the crucial article ten res ervation in the form it went through last November, with the result that both claimed to be gaining strength. Among'the Republicans it was de clared that only a few more Demo cratic votes would be needed to in sure ratification, but administration senators asserted ratification would fail by a wide margin unless the Re publican article ten reservation were modified. The Democratic leaders, who also are understood to have felt out sen timent among the irreconcilables. particularly with a view to political consequences on the basis of Repub lican reservations again were blocked br Democratic votes. Such a result, it Is generally conceded, would throw the whole question in to the campaign, and some Demo cratic senators are said to be an xious to learn how far the irrecon their opposition should the Repub lican national convention declare for ratification with reservations. On this question, it was declared. divided counsels were found among the irreconcilables. Senator Borah. Republican, Idaho, has said openly that he would carry the fight for. rejection to the people after the con vention. Others of, the group are said to favor accepting the decision of the convention while even Mr. Borah has been indefinite in the suggestions he has made with regard to the posible formation of a third party.
