RESERVATIONS MUST STAND

LODGE SAYS ARTICLE 10 AND MONROE DOCTRINE CANNOT BE CHANGED. Washington, January 26.—Senator Lodge today informed Senator Hitchcock and other members of the informed Democratic committee which has been conferring with Senator Lodge’s committee in an effort to reach a compromise on the treaty, that, no change in the reservations affecting Article 10 of the league of. nations covenant or the Monroe doctrine provision of the peace treaty will be acceptable to the Republicans. Senator Lodge’s statement was formulated after his conference Saturday with Senators Borah (Idaho), Johnson (Calif.) and other Republican senators opposing the treaty. Immediately after the statement was presented today, the bipartisan conference , adjourned, Senator

Hitchcock and his associates retiring for a private conference. They will make their reply, to Senator Lodge tomorrow morning. Senator Hitchcock later issued this statement:

“When the conference assembled Senator Lodge advised the senators present that he had been called into a meeting by certain Republican senators and for that reason had not been able to attend the last conference Friday. He regretted to say that he found it impossible to resume the conference for a compromise except upon the understanding that no change shall .be made in the reservation on Article 10 or on the Monroe doctrine. The Democratic members retired for a private conference and. will make their reply to Senator Lodge Tuesday morning at a meeting at 10 :80. “The conference up to the time its rteetings were interrupted had tentatively agreed upon the preamble and all sections of the reservations ercept that relating to Article 10, the Monroe Doctrine and one or two minor matters and an agreement was apparently also consummated on Article 10 when adjournment suddenly came, followed- by the intervention of the irreconciliable Republicans.”
