FAIL TO SETTLE PEACE TREATY FIGHT (co.NTiNrr.n rnoM i-aci: one.) broke uf. in less than an hour after it had begun. Describes Negotiation. What happened was described thus by Sen. Hitchcock in announcing the negotiations were at an end. YYo presented the Taft reservation on article ten as our proposition. There was some conversation as to its exact meaning. We urged them to accept it. or to tak" a fewdays to decide. But Sen. Eodce said definitely he could not accept it. "We thn asked them if they had any counter proposal or would make one. Mr. Ijdge said he could not make any counter proposal. I suggested that we iry to agree on a wa for taking up the treaty in the senate, but Sen. Bodge did not want a meeting on that subject. So we are going to proceed to call it up." To this Sen. Bodge had nothing to add. no would he indicate what his attitude would be on a motion to bring the treaty before the senate. In his statement reviewing the accomiiishments of the committee, however, he set forth at length his reasons for refusing to compromise on article ten and the Monro" doctrine. Citable to A'.; roc. Sj aking for myself alone." said the statement, "l have only this to say. that 1 was unable to agree on any change in reservations two Mid live, dtaling with article ten and the Monroe doctrine. In my opinion re.- rvatitn number two. which providethat we hall assume no obligation of any kind under article ten except the one mentioned in the treaty, that we .-hould ourselves respect the boundaries- of other nations, cannot possibly permit of t ha nee. "The charge proposed in reservation mimb-r live in regard to the Monroe doctrine was an absolutely vital one because it was asserted as an othcial interpretation by the representatives vi Croat Rriuin that the Monroe doctrine under the treaty was to be interperted by th-ba-ue. To this. I for one could neer assi.-t and i" vi-w of the statema nt made in Paris by the Briti-h delegation, to which I have referred I regard the line which it was pro-po-cd to strike uut as absolutely ne cessary.
