TREATY BATTLE.
.«, DEMOCRATS AND PRESIDENT. I COMPROMISE ADVOCATED. A. and N.Z. NEW YORK. Dec. 1. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times states that it is believed that Mr. G. M. Hitchcock, Leader of the Democrats in the Senate, will urge Mr. Wilson to accept Mr. Lodge's reservations" to the treaty with only slight textual changes, in order to effect a quick compromise between the Republicans and Democrats in the SenateMr. M. McCormick (Republican), in a statement, says that it is astonishing that some public men in England and France say that the United States is repudiating her agreements, because the treaty has not been ratified. They must know that when the American people last year elected a Republican Congress, j Mr. Wilson was repudiated. He j therefore had no power to bind the j American people at the Peace ConI ference.
