In the peace treaty dilemma
with an announcement that he had
"no con promiso or conception of any
kind In mind."
The president's position, regarded aa
peculiarly significant, in view of tka
recent discussion in tha senate of a
compromise, was aet torth In tha fol
lowing statement issued from llm white
hous:
"It was learned from the highest
authority al the executive offices that
the hope of the republican leaders
of the senate that the president would
presently make some move which will
relieve the situation with regard to
the treaty ia entirely without founda
tion; he has no compromise or con
cession of any kind In mind; but In
tende so far aa he la concerned that
the repuh'.Ican lead of the senata
shall continue to bear the undivided
responsibility for the fate of the treaty
and the present condition of tba world

been begun between the Japanese am
bassador and Secretary of State Lans

proach of the Bolshevik! might im
peril Japanese national interests.
