THE PEACE TREATY
- United Press Association—By Eleo * trie Telegraph—Copyright. Washington, March 2. The Senate rejected, by 43 to 34, a Democratic substitute for the Republican definition of Monroeism. This reservation was not changed from last session. Senator Lodge pointed out that the British delegation at the Peace Conference held that Monroeism in the future would be interpreted by the League of Nations, not by the United States. Senator Hitchcock’s resolution, replacing the Republican reservation safeguarding American rights in domestic issues, was defeated by 86 to 42. Adoption of the Republican reserve, safeguarding American rights, is forecasted. The Senate adopted the original Lodge reservation, by which the United States reserves to itself the right to decide what are domestic questions net subject to the League of Nations’ jurisdiction.
