Senator Lodge, the father of the trealy reservations, is believed to have given early ratification a decid- ed impetus when he proposed modi- fication of eight of the fourteen Re- publication reservations on the basis of agreements at the bipartisan eon- ference. Four of the remaining six have already been accepted by the Pemocratic leaders, it is said. There remain two, article ten and the Mon- roe doctrine. - ° . The process of eliminafion'is said last night to have gone still further. The report is that 'a new draft of the article ten reservation is said to have been approved by Senator Lodge and the "mild" Republicans. It is as fol- lows: 2 "The United States assumes no obligations to preserve by the use of its military or naval forces, or by the economic boycott or by any means, independence of any country or to interfere in controversies between na- tions--whether members of the leagué or not--under the provisions of article ten, or to employ the military or naval forces of the United States under any article of the treaty for the purpose unless in any parti- cular case the congress, which under the constitution, has the sole power to declare war, shall by act or joint resolution so provide." It is now sald that if an agreement is reached on article ten there will be little difficulty in adjusting matters so far as the Monroe doctrine is con- cerned.
