LEADERSHIP OF LODGE HELD IN HIGHEST REGARD Washington Considers Work of Senior Senator In Treaty Fight Among Finest Ex- - amples In History.; ' . . - . - - The masterly leadership of Sena tor Lodge in the fight against the peace treaty and its league of na tions covenant, recently ended in the United States senate, is gener ally accepted iri Washington as one of the finest examples of leadership in the history of ; the' country, ac cording to Congressman Frank C Reavis of Nebraska, who stopped in Omaha yesterday on his way east "The differences in the viewpoint of many of the senators when this fight was begun," said Mr. Reavis, "were very many. There was one faction, headed by Senators Borah, Johnson and Poindexter, who want ed no league of nations at all; there was that faction, headed by Senators McCumber and Colt, which was will ing to accept the milder sort of res ervations, and yet another element which wanted amendments or strong reservations, with Senator LaFollette advancing his resolution, following no leadership at all. "It was practically impossible, at the beginning of the -fight, to get .these senators with divergent views together on any policy. There "was never air hour, for months, when many of the senators who wanted mild reservations, not only were re ceptive to, the' compromise adminis tration, but were making overtures to the administration looking for a compromise that would have re sulted in reservations much milder than the administration is now ready to accept" Congressman Reavis declared that the administration - permitted its hour to go "by, and Senator Lodge welded all of these contending forces in the senate together into one faction. "Mr. Lodge did this weldiifg with such security," says Mr. Reavis, "that it Is now safe to say that the league of nations can never be rati fied without the Lodge resolutions." "The master,ly leadership, with which he had taken advantage of the many mistakes of the adminis tration in the treaty fight," said Mr. Reavis, "is regarded in Washington as being the equal of any leadership in the political history of the United States." i. Congressman Reavis left Omaha last evening to return to Washing ton,, where he has been called by pressing business.
