PRESSURE ON RSH WILSON.
TO' ACCEPT THE RESERVATIONS.
THE PRESIDENT REPUDIATED.
('Australian and N.Z. Gable Assn.) (Received December 2, 8.50 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.
It is believed that Mr Hitchcock 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 vßepublicans and Democrats. In the Senate Senator . McCormick made a statement to trie effect that it is astonishing that some public men in England and France sai that America is repudiating her agreements because the Treaty has not been ratified. They must know that when thi? Americans people last year elected a Republican Congress Mr Wilson was Repudiated, and he therefore had no powsr to bind the American people at the Peace Confereaee.
