RESERVATIONS OF REPUBLICANS ARE FATAL TO TREATY AVERS PRESIDENT Letters to Hitchcock on Treaty Declares Qualifica tions Suggested are Virtual Nullification of Document. ARTICLE 10 IS VITAL States That Weakening of This Provision Wrould Cut the Heart Out of the Cov- . enant. WASHINGTON, Mar. 9 By Associated Press Modified draft of the republican reservation ef article 10 of the league ef na tions covenants la understood to have been asaented to today by number of the republican leaders) working with the democrats for a compromise on ratifiactlon. President Wilson's letter to Sena tor Hitchcock, administration leader on the peace treaty gave a new angle to the ratification fight that is being; waged in congress. Although the president did not say what reserva tions he would accept or reject, he de- . c la red almost all of the qualifications suggested were in effect virtual nulli fications of the league covenants. To weaken article 10, said the president would be to cut the very , heart out of the covenant. A great deal of interest waa mani fested in the president's declaration that imperaliKtic policies were by no means dead in the nations that we trusted most. This is contained in tha following extract from the letter: It must not be forgotten, Senator, that this article constitutes renun ciation of wrong ambition on the part of powerful nations with whom we were associated in the war. It is by no mean certain that without this article any such renunciation will take place. Militaristic ambitions and im perialistic policies are by no means dead, even in the counsels of the na tions whom we most trust and with whom we most desire to be associat ed in the tasks of peace. "The imperialist wants no league of nations, but if, in response to the uni versal cry of the masses everywhere, there is to be one, he is interested to secure one suited to his own purposes, one that will permit him 1 1 continue the historic game of pawns and peo ples the juggling of provinces the old balances of power, and the inevit able wars atendant upon these things."

"It gives each man a record and tells him just where he stands at the close of the year. It gives reliable information for correct filing of income tax returns.
