THE AMERICAN CONTROVERSY.

A REPUBLICAN STATEMENT,

PRESIDENT WILSON REPUDIATED

{Australian and N.Z. Cable Association)

Washington, Nov. 28. It is believed that Senator Hitchcock will urge President Wilson to accept Senator Lodge's reservations to the Treaty with only slight changes, in order to effect a quick compromise between the Republicans and Democrats. In, the Senate, Senator M'Cormack made a statement to the effect that it ■was astonishing that some public men in England and Franco said America vas repudiating her agreements because the Treaty had not been ratified. They must know that when the American people last year elected a Republican Congress President Wilson was re>pudiated, and he, thereforo, had no power to bind the American people at he Peace Conference.
